Exhibition on art and dreams opens in Barcelona

The fundamental role that dreams play in art is on display in Barcelona. ‘The Space of Dreams’ exhibition opened on September 15 at the Mayoral art gallery, featuring a collection that looks at the importance of dreams in 20^th century art. Here, visitors will be able to look into some of what inspired iconic artists like Dalí, Miró, Picasso, Tàpies, Brossa and Duchamp.

The proposal, according to art critic and curator Vicenç Altaió, is “worthy of a museum.” Visitors can expect two large sections: one, focused on Dalí and Duchamp’s “waking dreams,” and another that addresses the time after the darkest years of the Franco dictatorship, featuring Miró and Calder. Visitors will then be able to enjoy other artists in the collection, such as Calder, Magritte, Chagall, Hamilton, and Ponç.
