The best contemporary art lights up the Historic Building of the UB
Due to the great number of academic and institutional activities that the Historic Buiding hosts every day, the opening hours to visit some video arts can be limited. Opening hours can be checked on this link, which will be daily updated on the Virtual Museum of the UB.
Discussions about exhibited works with art and culture professionals
The exhibition will be accompanied by a seminar series, in which noted art and culture professionals will discuss about the exhibited works and open a round of questions to enable audienceʼs participation. Seminars will take place in the Ramón y Cajal room of the Historic Building at 7 p.m.
The first session happens today, 7th March. Dr Lourdes Cirlot, vice-rector for Institutional Relations and Culture of the UB, and Dr Rafael Argullol, expert on aesthetics and arts theories, will speak about the work The return, by Bill Viola.
During the two other sessions the debate will be focused, on one hand, on the work Civilization by Marco Brambilla, with the participation of Dr Herman Baschiron Mendolicchio and Daniel López del Rincón, and on the other hand, on the most remarkable aspects of the video art Journey to the moon, by William Kentridge, which will be analysed by José Enrique Monteverde.
