Exhibition “The exhibition of anti-fascist varieties”

“The exhibition of anti-fascist varieties” is one of the central axes of the programming Portabella: agent provocateur. It’s about youn complete and complex project that takes as its starting point the Irregular concert (1968)a stage work that constituted the first joint creation of the triangle formed by Brossa, Portabella and the musician Carles Santos.

The detailed observation of this staging, which provoked very contrasting reactions among the public and the media, allows us to reconsider several aspects of the problems facing radical arts and critical cultural practices today in a situation of systemic crisis polarized between the proliferation of emancipated subjectivities in revolt and the violent rise of supremacisms.

The exhibition takes this context as a frieze in order to work with contemporary artists who continue, today, the radical attitudes of creators like Portabella, Brossa or Santos. So, amidst the documentary contributions, contemporary works by artists such as Paula Artés, Mabel Palacín, Abel Jaramillo, Núria Güell or Daniela Ortizsome of the works produced expressly.
