MIQUEL BARCELÓ RETURNS TO MÁLAGA IN JUNE TO DO TWO PERFORMANCES  

  • Based on the exhibition Miquel Barceló. Metamorphosis, the Museo Picasso Málaga, in close collaboration with the Museo de Málaga, has organized "Despintura fònica" (Phonic Unpainting), a performance in which the artist creates an ephemeral artwork that slowly becomes volatile before the audience's very eyes.
  • At 8.00 p.m. on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th June, the Museo de Málaga main courtyard will be hosting two performances in which Miquel Barceló will be joined by French musician #pascalcomelade. Tickets for the event are free and should be ordered online at  www.museopicassomalaga.org

Miquel Barceló's performance art is known for an aesthetic that is half-way between Altamira cave paintings and graffiti, in which the artist evokes the Buddhist notion of impermanence with an audiovisual and painted display in which drawings disappear as if by magic. After being performed for the first time at Musée Picasso Paris, as well as other iconic venues in Bangkok, Kyoto, Salamanca and Zurich, Miquel Barceló is now presenting two performances in Málaga of "Despintura Fònica" (Phonic Unpainting). Fleeting, delicate and unpredictable, like a playful elegy to art, the show takes place at 8.00 p.m. on 18th and 19th June, in the courtyard of Museo de Málaga.
 
In this artistic event, Barceló will be accompanied by French musician Pascal Comelade in the creation of an ephemeral artwork that volatilizes and vanishes before the audience's eyes at the same time as it is created.
 
"We are always seeing things appear, but we don't see them disappear, and the truth is that it's very hygienic", Barceló explains. As he controls and loses control over his brushstrokes on a large-format canvas made from a special material that absorbs paint, we hear musical improvisations by Comelade. This French- Catalan musician, who is widely known in both France and Japan, creates avant-garde music in which his roots are very much present. In the first half, Miquel Barceló will create drawings in water using brushes, balls, and water pistols. In the second half, the audience will watch, alongside the artist, the gradual disappearance before their very eyes of the work he has just created, to a background of vibrant music.
 
Tickets for this event in the Museo de Málaga courtyard are free and must be requested online at www.museopicassomalaga.org. The running time is approximately 30 minutes. Both sessions have a limited number of seats and will be held in compliance with all current health regulations.
