The Night of the Museums at Santa Mònica
Once again this year, the Santa Mònica joins in the celebration of International Museum Day and Museum Night, which this year coincide on Saturday 17 May. To celebrate this double event we invite you to enjoy the exhibition CITISSIMUM ALTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM, also open at night, and a special programme of activities and proposals linked to the exhibition and the lines of experimentation of the Mòniques, resident artists at the centre.
– Doors open to the exhibition CITISSIMUM ALTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM
19:00 – 24:00 h / Open doors
A major exhibition on a current phenomenon that, although it radically affects us, is underrepresented in the art world: sport as a symptom of the contemporary world. Various artistic pieces explore concepts such as the body, measurement and performance, competitiveness, spectacle and the media image, through humour, irony and play.
Curated by Cabosanroque and Enric Puig Punyet.
– Saber caure també és un esport (Knowing how to fall is also a sport)
19:15h, 20:15h, 21:15h, 22:15h, 23:15h / Performance / Duration 30 minutes*.
How far does the body go? How is sport instrumentalised? What relationship is established with defeat? The performers are transformed into elite sportsmen and women, and the exhibition space into the stadium that welcomes them. The curator-artist takes on the role of coach and initiates the challenge of beating the records that will be proposed throughout the different passes. The ten artists will generate different presences and poetics that range from repetition and tiredness to defeat and sportsmanship. A visual and corporal challenge that fuses art and sport.
By the Hospital de Artistas de La Juan Gallery.
Participants: Ruben Tamarit, Alba Tesias, Nil del Rio, Ana Novoa, Guillermo PDF, Registered, Jimena Tercero, Antonio Sanchez, Alejandra Gradis, Ascen Soto and Juan Gómez Alemán.
* To maintain the essence of the immersive experience and the atmosphere of intimacy and concentration of the artists, please follow the indications given at the entrance.
– Internal Communication, a comic strip by Les Mòniques
19:00 – 23:30 h / Installation
The comic ‘Comunicació Interna’ tells the story of the process of choosing and using a communication platform by Les Mòniques, resident artists at the Santa Mònica arts centre. It shares learnings on communication needs, digital ethics and low tech references, with the aim that anyone who wants to can reuse the ideas.
Produced by the Communication Guild 23-24 (Anna Vilamú, Lara Martínez and Ángela Palacios) in collaboration with Roberta Vázquez. With the participation of Ezequiel Soriano.
– La Disfru-tón
20:00 h – 23:300 h / Performance
We invite you to a competition, a marathon of enjoyment. There will be guest DJs to liven up the party, an MC (master of ceremonies) to motivate the participants who will ‘compete’ for ‘a great prize’ with dynamics and substances to keep up the rhythm and dance non-stop. Dancing is sharing, it is liberation, but at parties there are strategies of competition where resistance, seduction and enjoyment are put to the test and even measured. Who will enjoy the most?
By the Guild of Spaces 24-25
– Autosuggestion Anticapacitation
19:00 h while stocks last / Participative Space
Parade with a limited print run of the fanzine ‘Autosuggestió Anticapacitista’ that visitors will be able to
will be able to take away with them. The publication is designed for creators, artists and curators to review their practices from an anti-capacity perspective, incorporating access as a potential creative impulse rather than an imposition in their creative processes.
Installation by Tatiana Antoni Conesa of the Participation Guild 24-25
