L'hora del pati

Playground time
Video art, solidarity loungers and music

11.07.25 | 29.07.25 | M|A|C Presó

A playground is a very specific space that has a recreational function, where conversations or thoughts take place while looking up…

Playground time is the time of day when you do what you want, talk about what you want and with whom you want, without anyone controlling you.

A lot happens during playground time. It is not only a time dedicated to rest or breakfast: it is a space in which we reveal our social skills (communication, cooperation, conflict resolution, exchange and negotiation) and also a space accessible to everyone, so that the same ones, those who have more space or have more power, do not always impose themselves.

We wanted the M|A|C patio to be a friendly, comfortable and warm place, for diverse audiences (including family audiences), to spend July evenings in company, in a patio converted into the art center’s cinema and a summer meeting space, with a bar and live music.

Charity loungers
The loungers, which will serve as seats for the audience attending the sessions, are part of the Charity Loungers project, promoted by M|A|C and the Petites Grans Obres project. Every day we will raff off one of the loungers among the attendees who have purchased the numbers for the raffle. All the money raised will go to the children’s oncology ward of the Hospital de Sant Joan de Déu.

The 9 charity loungers
Raffle among all the audience who have purchased numbers that day for one of the 9 charity loungers that 9 artists have altruistically contributed. If it’s your turn, take it home!
The participating artists have been: Josep M. Codina, Laia Arnau, Lola Solanilla, Magda Codina, Marc Salicrú, Neus Masdeu, Neil Harbisson, Pol Uñó G. and Regina Giménez.
