Apartheid. The South African Mirror set out to be a conceptual and visual approach to the old and new forms of
prejudice and racial discrimination, based on a wide selection
of original artworks and documentary material.
The exhibition documented the main stages and characteristics of a tragically famous history and scenario which
speak not only of the South African experience, but also of
its European legacy, of racial ideologies and of the racist
clichés and practices fed by Western modernism, and how
even today these prejudices constitute a powerful instrument
for justifying and maintaining the most arbitrary injustices
as well as an important, almost impenetrable barrier for the
construction of a cooperative social order, which is egalitarian and ultimately socially sustainable.
cally, in which modern ideas are established with regard to
dignity and equal rights for all human beings.
The exhibition then carefully explored the social, political,
economic, cultural and territorial system of apartheid in
force in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. Apartheid as
an extreme and transparent form of deeply-rooted Western
racism
In parallel with this historical narrative, the exhibition displayed a wide selection of art works created in South Africa
from the 19th Century to the present, with special emphasis
on the period of apartheid.
This exhibition was not conceived as a chronological,
narrative description of a historical period but rather a way
of understanding a dense, complex process that acted as
a bridge between dictatorship and democracy and which
affected, and was made by, the people who experienced it.
In fact, the exhibition centred on individuals and collectives
rather than on the leading actors in the political process, and
recounted the changes that occurred at all levels in Spanish
society in the 1970s and ‘80s.

The exhibition opened with an introductory space that
focused on the internal contradictions of the Francoist regime
by reconstructing a secret meeting of the Council of the
Movement. It then took the form of eight thematic areas that
outlined the evolution of a society that dismantled everything
that the Francoist regime had, or so it seemed, left firmly
in place: Strike, Police Station, Schools, Groups that Lived
Together, Psychiatric Hospital, Music Scene, Representations
and Questions regarding the Transition.
The point of departure for the exhibition was a historical
approach to racism, which documented the development of
the ideologies and practices that establish different categories, “races” of human beings, in the same period, paradoxi-

Post-it Cities explored the different overlapping uses of urban
territory, focusing on the viewpoints offered by architecture,
town planning and the visual arts. The exhibition explored
the phenomenon through a wide range of projects based
on the idea of “post-it cities”, a type of ephemeral city that
infects regular cities through non-codified, temporary, anonymous uses that are implicitly critical.
Las mujeres que no conocemos. A Film in 24 Frames,
together with Unas fotos en la ciudad de Sylvia (Photos in
the City of Sylvia) and En la ciudad de Sylvia (In the City of
Sylvia), are the three parts that make up the latest project by
José Luis Guerín. Three different formats around the same
discourse, the same theme: the director’s reflection on the
female portrait, fugitive time and cinematographic creation.

In Las mujeres que no conocemos, an installation produced
for the Spanish Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennial in 2007,
Guerin chose narrative photo-installation as his medium,
midway between film and photography. The result was a
new step towards the convergence between filmmakers and
the museum, and explored a trail in which the CCCB is a
pioneer: film exposé.
Occasional Urbanities set out to explore the many different
existing and possible variations of this phenomenon in order
to document it and reflect on its meaning: an industrial estate
that becomes an illegal race circuit at weekends, the use of
the building-site city for the adventures of explorer-nerds,
variants of the squatter phenomenon, the use of different
wastelands for occasional meetings (nomad camp, rave), the
conversion of a daytime campus into an area of nocturnal sex
trade, etc.
Given the set of parameters it brings into play, this project
led us into a series of issues that are particularly relevant to
contemporary culture: the need to create “available spaces”,
the versatile nature of the idea of recycling, the emergence of
new subjectivities, etc.

Ten photographers from the agency Magnum –Abbas, Antoine D’Agata, Bruce Gilden, Harry Gruyaert, Gueorgui
Pinkhassov, Gilles Peress, Mark Power, Alec Soth, Donovan Wylie and Patrick Zachmann– evoked the influence of
cinema on their imaginary.. The exhibition invited photographers representing different generations and trends of
documentary photography to each produce an original work,
showing how the cinema can infiltrate their way of capturing
reality. The resulting pieces, photographs or audiovisual
installations, revealed how a filmmaker, a film or a single
shot have left an imprint on their imaginary and their body of
work. Transitions, infiltrations and superposition between the
two worlds.
Film is an inspiration ‘d’après’ (after) the images, as Henri
Cartier-Bresson once described it. According to CartierBresson, cinema is always that which follows, the image
captured after the event. The moving image in opposition to
the still image. Could cinema instead be the image “before”,
that is, the image that inspires the photographer in his attempt
to capture the real? How do films affect a photographer’s
imaginary? What part of dreams, ghosts and obsessions does
a photographer project onto the world?

Truly a visionary writer, J. G. Ballard, who died in the spring
of 2009, constructed a body of work marked by recurrent
themes and obsessive symbols that goes beyond genre codes
in order to decipher the present and propose plausible views
of the future.
tured according to the following sections: “What I believe”,
From Shanghai to Shepperton, Dream landscapes, Inner
space, Disaster area, Technology and pornography, Asepsis
and neo-barbarism, Epilogue, Bibliographic area, “Ballardian” art.
Ballard’s oeuvre is an open-ended body of work that still has
many revelations in store for his readers and the capacity to
throw light on the course of our future. An author with an
enormous influence on later generations of creators in all
disciplines, from fantasy cinema to industrial music, Ballard
is the author, among many other works, of The Empire of
the Sun and Crash, adapted for the cinema by Spielberg and
David Cronenberg, respectively.
Related activities:
Several activities relating to the writer were organised as part
of Kosmopolis: the screening of film adaptations of some of
his books and two round tables, Readings of Ballard in the
Latin Context and Under the Sign of Ballard, with the participation of numerous international writers and intellectuals
including Jordi Costa, Marcial Souto, Agustín Fernández
Mallo, Marta Peirano, Toby Litt, Bruce Sterling, V.Vale and
Simon Sellars. A blog was also set up to allow the online
community of Ballard fans to write articles on how reading
Ballard had influenced their life and work, and which included a competition of videos made using mobile phones. The
responses to the call for entries produced interesting modulations of the “Ballardian” sensibility in a variety of styles
ranging from miniature parody to psychogeographic derives.
This exhibition offered an itinerary through Ballard’s creative
universe: his times and obsessions, his dissection of the
secret keys of the contemporary world, the traces of his own
life in his fictional body of work, his artistic and literary referents, and his precise, disenchanted intuitions of a future life
governed by the concepts of aseptic dystopia and disaster.
Through a very wide range of media —scenographic installations, audiovisual installations, the complete collection of
Ballard’s works, works by artists inspired by Ballard and a
selection of reference materials— the exhibition was struc-

For a decade now, China has been immersed in major process
of transformation. This can be seen in its cities, which are
undergoing an unstoppable process of construction and destruction that is profoundly transforming them with amazing
speed.
This exhibition contextualised these changes in the continuum of the country’s history and culture. Its aim was to
present the reality of the city past and present, in four of its
aspects: town planning, architecture, landscape and infrastructure. It also offered an opportunity to compare these
realities with those of the Chinese and Western imaginaries,
and with news and propaganda or similar mechanisms.
The exhibition was based on the display of archaeological documents, works of art, models, archive images and
contemporary art Chinese characters and the key concepts
of Chinese civilisation (garden, writing and culture, man
and the earth, water, Feng shui, construction and destruction
and family) were the basic elements that offered a dynamic
reading of the Chinese territory and everything that affects
its current population of more than three hundred million
people. The exhibition interwove these concepts into a structure that presented six cities as examples of these urban transformations: Suzhou, Xi’an, Chongqing, Canton, Shanghai
and Beijing.

In this context, films took on a particular importance. Five
Chinese film directors contributed a filmmaker’s point of
view on the five cities included in the exhibition. Prestigious
filmmaker Jia Zhangke orchestrated the work of four of
his colleagues: Chen Tao, Peng Tao, Li Hong Qi, Han Jie.
Jia Zhangke himself, who directed the portrait of the city
of Suzhou with the short film Cry me a River, was included
in the official, non-competitive selection of the 65th Venice
Film Festival.

To coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Ottawa Treaty for
the prohibition of antipersonnel mines, Gervasio Sánchez decided to go back and pick up the thread of the stories of the project
Mined Lives, which he began in 1995. In this new project,
the photographer showed the progress of those affected, and
the problems they have encountered in countries like Columbia, Cambodia, Iraqi Kurdistan and the places with the most
landmines on earth: Bosnia, Mozambique and El Salvador. He
also included portraits from countries like Afghanistan, Angola,
Nicaragua and Sudan. Some of the subjects of his photographs
were children when they were portrayed for the first time, and
now they are adults.
The presentation of the exhibition and the book that was published at the same time were part of a tour through the principle
cities of Spain and Europe, with the aim of raising the awareness
of the public and the media, and also of politicians, of the ravages of these deadly weapons.
The humanitarian impact of landmines is strongest and most
devastating than the effects of any other weapon: they don’t just
mutilate limbs and lives, they also make it impossible for farmers to access their lands, women to reach wells, and children
to be able to go to school. As a consequence, many lands end
up uncultivated, and poor families see their income noticeably
decrease.

For the fourth consecutive year, Photographic Social Vision
Foundation, in collaboration with the CCCB, presented the
exhibition World Press Photo.
World Press Photo provides images for the collective
memory. Stunning photos that have, on many occasions,
changed the course of history and public opinion.
The World Press Photo exhibition, a collection of the winning
entries in the World Press Photo Competition, is internationally recognised as the world’s major touring showcase of
photojournalism.
Each year, an independent, thirteen-member international jury
chooses the winning photographs from submissions by photojournalists, agencies, newspapers and photographs around
the world. The photos compete in 11 categories: news events,
current affairs, people in the news, sports, action photography,
sports reportage, contemporary issues, daily life, portraits,
nature and art and entertainment.
Each year, the winning photographs are exhibited in 80 cities
in 40 countries, on condition that all works have to be shown
without censorship of any kind. The fact that thousands of
visitors from around the world see this exhibition demonstrates photography’s power to overcome linguistic and cultural
boundaries.

I+C+i (research + development + innovation) is a program of talks focussing
on the integration of research, development and innovation processes in
the world of culture. Structured into
four main themes (Crisis and Transformation of Formats, The Concept of
Programming, Diffusion and Communication of Cultural Projects and Innovation Dynamics), each session tackles
some of the dilemmas that emerge from
cultural praxis and the processes of
change affecting cultural institutions
and the traditional agents of knowledge

NOW is a project focussing on the
scientific, technological, artistic, social
and spiritual transformations that are
taking place at the start of the 21st
Century. NOW has been conceived as
a working platform, with a series of
objectives in the following thematic
areas: Open Science, Cypersphere, Eco
Factor, Art Now, Emerging Culture, Psi
Particle and New Activism.
The first NOW program in 2008
explored the interrelation between the
free software movement and emerging
culture; the challenges that humanity
is facing in order to meet basic food
and water needs and the new forms of
activism that have arisen in response to
these issues; and, based on one of the
great paradoxes of our time, the fact
that in a period in which there is major
scientific progress in the exploration
of outer space we have so much light
pollution that it is difficult to observe
the planets and the stars, the program
also analysed new developments in
cosmological theories that, ultimately,
In 2008, I+C+i continued to explore
the thematic areas mentioned above,
focussing the six sessions on the
fundamental questions of the program:
What formats are in crisis? How can
we improve the way we communicate
complex cultural projects? How are
new audiences generated? What kinds
of programs favour the emergence
of a new culture? Is it necessary to
create I+D+i departments in cultural
institutions?

question the place of human beings
in the known universe. The Bank of
Common Knowledge was also part
of the program once more, as was an
interactive installation on the radio
spectrum co-produced with the AV
Festival, Newcastle.
The second 2008 NOW program focussed on exploring the different formats
that the NOW platform can adopt as
it develops in conceptual and formal
terms. British theatre company Stan’s
Cafe presented their performative
installation Of All the People in All the
World..., a visual construction based
on statistics relating NOW’s themes.
There was also the first MiniFest of

works that dealt with the project’s
seven thematic areas, along with special presentations and debates.

Part of the European Year of
Intercultural Dialogue
In its fourth edition, the biannual festival Kosmopolis (K08)
reinforced its position as a major expanded literature event.
It filled five days with opportunities to continue to explore
new themes, genres and formats that reflect its innovative
spirit through its core sections: spoken word, written word
and electronic work.
Kosmopolis 09 focussed on offering a synthesis of the most
pressing global problems, and how they are reflected in
the changes affecting literary practice. The 2008 program
favoured the kind of activism that uses the weapons offered
by culture and the arts.
Gandules 08 looked at interculturality, taking as its point of
departure a basic principle of cinema: point of view. In the form
of fiction, essay and documentary, the films shown during Gandules 08 dealt with two of the big motifs that usually entail questioning the point of view: journeys that lead to another culture
and situations in which different cultures share a single place.
The program included films about the supposed exoticism of
otherness, tourism, the transformation of cities, small or private
spaces that mirror large intercultural movements, moves due to
migration, multi-ethnic neighbourhoods, personal encounters,
itineraries between South and North, hidden and invisible zones
in which there is traffic of goods and people...
18
The outdoor cinema program in the summer of 2008 collected
stories about the imaginary that exist in fiction, cinema and
myths; about discoveries of the real or about the way in which
cultures change when they come into mutual contact.
The commitment of writers to new political, social and environmental causes provided the structure for the event, which
also looked at the mutations that journalism is currently
undergoing due to the impact of new media and the potential
revolution entailed by the trend towards multimedia convergence.

again organised TRAFIC, a forum and
platform that enabled photographers,
professionals and groups that work with
photography to share material among
themselves and with the general public,
with the aim of stimulating citizens to
reflect on their surroundings.
TRAFIC 08 included the presence of
acclaimed artists Antoine D’Agata,
Philip Blenkinsop and Paco Elvira, and
the participation of many entities and
groups that were in tune with the idea
that structured this year’s program: the
reflection on resistance in the context of

BAFF has kept grown year after year,
to the point that it is now one of the
most important European festivals in
its field, and an essential event on the
Spanish festival calendar.
For its tenth year, the festival expanded its exhibition spaces and added a
new section, BAFF10, which showed
the ten essential works shown at the
festival since it began. These new
sections were joined by the familiar

Organised by
Taller de Músics, CCCB and Ajuntament de Barcelona – Districte Ciutat Vella
The spotlight on this year’s Flamenco
de Ciutat Vella was on flamenco
singing or “cante” and the voice. It was
up to Terremoto, el Torta, el Pele and
Montse Cortés to prove that singing
conceals much of the mystery of flamenco. Hiniesta Cortés, La Farruca,
Rafaela Carrasco and Carmen Cortés
ensured that “baile”, or dance, also got
the attention it deserved, rounding off
the evenings in the Pati de les Dones.
The CCCB Hall hosted rumba catalana
performances by artists like Gertrudis,
Papawa, Ai, Ai, Ai and Los Manolos,
the music of guitarists Juan Manuel
Cañizares, Agustín Carbonell “El
Bola” and José Antonio Rodríguez,
and the launch of the latest releases by
the legendary Guadalquivir and the
collective SUK.
2008 brought new additions to the
festival, such as the Ciutat Vella
Audiovisual Flamenco Festival
P’ALUCINE, which was created in
order to encourage flamenco-related
audiovisual creation, and collaborations
with other groups, entities and venues:
Esmuc, Sala Llantiol, Club Hipersons
and Carmelitas, among others. This first
P’ALUCINE awarded prizes to two of
the many works submitted: the prize for
best video clip went to Será mejor by
Muchachito, Joni Ferzerta, Lagatacristi
and Kote Berberecho; while the prize
to the best documentary went to Dame
veneno by Pedro Barbadillo and Luis
Clemente (Spain, 2007).
On the Saturday morning, the children’s
show by La Botzina brought flamenco
to an audience of youngsters.

This itinerary centred on the construction of a network of subterranean deposits built to collect runoff
water during torrential rainfalls. It took place in the
deposit built below the Parc de Joan Miró.

one of the major lines of communication for the

Poblenou@22
In one visit, this itinerary took in spaces and buildings related to 19th century forms of life and production, as well as the first areas to be urbanised and
the buildings associated with the “22@” project.
This itinerary, which set out from the CCCB, explored the economic and social framework that made
the Eixample (the city’s 19th century extension)
possible - as an extension of the urban fabric but also
in terms of the new modernist architecture that emerged, and the subsequent restructuring that changed it
from a mainly residential area into a commercial and
services hub.

CULTURAL ACTIVITIES OTHER PROJECTS
Dates
A program of urban itineraries that are designed to offer a
critical view of the new challenges facing the city of Barcelona today: transformations of the metropolitan environment,
social cohesion, cultural leadership, environmental regeneration, the quality of public space, communications networks,
the high-speed train... These are essential and increasingly
important issues, which this series of urban and metropolitan
tours aims to highlight.
The Raval. First Port of Call
Older children at Book World were
able to enjoy a new space exclusively
for over-9s, and, once again, the Tower
of Sant Jordi invited children to read
out loud. Even the youngest children
discovered many books in their own
Space for the Wordless and in the
Courtyard of a Thousand Languages, in
which books were read out and listened
to in many different languages, as part
of a fair that celebrated difference.
In terms of urban planning, the Raval has undergone
highly visible changes over the last few years. But
has the role that the Raval area plays within the city
in general changed to the same extent? This itinerary
offered different perspectives, from several viewpoints, of a neighbourhood that has been a port of call
from the 19th century to the present day.
Views of la Ribera
Views of la Ribera took the form of a historical route
that explains the evolution of the city from the 15th
century up until the present: from the Barcelona of
craftsmen to the industrial city, from the walled city
to the new Eixample, from the creation of avenues
like Via Laietana to the urban planning changes
taking place today.
Besós. A Second Opportunity
This itinerary analyses the territory through which
the river Besòs flows, and its function as a corridor
for all kinds of flows (trains, cars, gas, electricity,

Off-Programme aims to identify
different works produced through
filmmakers’ solidarity and commitment
to social issues. Where possible, the

presentations by the filmmakers or other
people directly involved in the issue.
Following the thread of global tensions
and the human factor, this year Passing
the Rainbow/Views of Kabul, by
Sandra Schäfer and Elfe Branderburger
was shown.
Passing the Rainbow deals with
methods for subverting the strict gender
norms in Afghan society, concerning
performance as well as cinematographic
production and daily and political life.
A theatre company run by a girl in
Kabul, a teacher who is also an actress,
a policewoman with a second job as an
action film director, an activist from the
RAWA organisation who approves of the
radical separation of church and state,
and Malek, who lives as a boy so she
can work: all these women are the
protagonists.

Brandeburger (Berlin) together with the
filmmaker Diana Saqeb (Kabul) debate

struggle. Chairing the debate is Mònica

El Periódico
The dominance of the ideology of Franco’s regime throughout
forty years of dictatorship ended up pervading and conditioning
Spain’s cultural life. While the political process of the Transition
to democracy endowed the country with democratic mechanisms, some social strata still spent many years immersed in the
legacy of the regime. The activities related to the homonymous
exhibition which opened in late 2007 explored cultural aspects of
the Spanish transition to democracy, and brought to light the
different rhythms that coexisted between political institutionalisation on one hand, and social change on the other.
January 14: Bucarest, la memoria perdida (Bucharest, Lost
Memory)
Screening of the documentary by Albert Solé, in which the
Rumanian-born filmmaker searches for his roots linked to a
twofold exile. His father, politician Jordi Solé Tura, ex-minister
and one of the seven Fathers of the Spanish Constitution, who
was forced to abandon Spain in the sixties because of his
anti-Francoist militancy, has embarked on a new, inner exile, but
this time with no possible return: memory loss. The filmmaker
travels from one exile to another in an attempt to recompose his
own memory through the memory of his family and the memory
of a country.
Participants: Pasqual Maragall, José Montilla, Júlia Otero, Joan
Saura and Albert Solé.
January 17: The Political Transition
Leading political figures from the Transition spoke about the
change of regime and the delicate political and social equilibriums that ensured the peaceful implementation of the 1978
constitutional system, and retrospectively took stock of the
legacy of the transition in today’s democracy.
Participants: Santiago Carrillo, Celestino Corbacho, Josep
Ramoneda and Miquel Roca.

time, new scientific research is starting

with the intention of capturing a social transition following years

about what it meant and continues to mean.
February 6: Humour as a Political Weapon
In dictatorial regimes, humour usually becomes a medium for
dissidence and for injecting oxygen into the democratic aspirations of civil society. Humorists Toni Batllori and Forges
discussed this idea with the artist REP, using the Spanish and
Argentinean cases as a point of departure, and also reflecting on
their own role as critics in periods of democracy.

February 19 and 20: On Torture
Torture was one of the key issues of state violence during
Franco’s regime and the transition. Absent from historical
research, it has only recently managed to make a place for itself
in the interstices of social debate after a difficult process of
admitting that the practice took place. And the consequences
have affected society and the individuals who suffered it, but also
public policies of redress and memory. The comparison between
the Spanish case and experiences in Chile and Argentina has
helped to enrich this debate, which is still in its early stages in

February 22: Questions without Answers from the Transition
The Transition, a time in which anything was possible, which
managed to forge multiple cosmovisions of individual and
collective experiences, forces us to question the usually simplifying stories that are its legacy. The participants of this round
table attempt to answer a selection of the questions posed by
visitors to the exhibition.
Round table with some of the contributors to the book Politica y (po)ética de
las imágenes de guerra (Paidós, 2007),
which discussed representations of war
and their role in the configuration of the

The conflict in Darfur has provoked
a wide range of interpretations. Is it
genocide? Is it ethnic cleansing? Is it
simply the first conflict caused by a
scarcity of water provoked by global
warming? What possible solutions are
there? The aim of this seminar was
to bring together a group of highlyqualified people so as to go beyond the
headlines and analyse the context and
causes of the conflict and evaluate what
can be done to repair the damage.
An activity related to the exhibition
Mined Lives. 10 Years, this debate was

Tainted by stereotypes, fears and power
struggles, the relationship between Iran
and the Western world is as complex
as it is important, due to its central role
in the stability of the region and the
geopolitical world order. The coming
to power of Ayatollah Jomeini in 1979
was a milestone in the Islamic world,
and at the same time it marked the start
of a long cooling off period in which
the West, particularly Washington,
has not been able to treat the Teheran
regime as either a rational political
actor or as a diabolical tyrant. On the
other hand, the new outbreak of political radicalism in Iran has provoked
a reaction that has spread like a shock
wave from Lebanon to Afghanistan.
Iran has defined and mobilised a transnational Shiite movement, it pesters
Israel and supports the radical left in
Latin America, while its nuclear pro-
gram, even if it is for peaceful purposes, has become a source of national
pride.
A range of specialists came together at
the CCCB to try and shed light on the
source of the misunderstandings
between Iran and the West, and suggest
the different diplomatic possibilities
that can be used to redirect tensions
and set up more fluid relations. There
were also screenings of the films Iran:
A Revolution Betrayed, by Ahsan Adib
(1984), and Gilaneh, by Mohsen

EQUATORIAL GUINEA, BLACK MEMORY
Date
September 29
Organised by
CCCB
Spanish colonialism in Black Africa is
one of the least known and most silenced
episodes in recent Spanish history.
Equatorial Guinea, a former Spanish
colony, claimed independence forty
years ago, on October 12, 1968. The
turbulent years that followed led to the
dictatorship of Francisco Macías,
followed by the current regime led by his
nephew, Teodoro Obiang, the main
beneficiary of the oil industry. While
human rights bodies denounce the
dictatorship of Obiang, Western
democracies turn a blind eye in order to
access the country’s immense oil
reserves.
With this conference, which included the
screening of the Xavier Montmanyà
video Memoria negra (“Black
Memory”), followed by a debate, the
CCCB aimed to contribute to analysing
the legacy of Spanish colonialism,
following in the line of reflection opened
up by countries like France, Belgium and
the United Kingdom in recent years.

Tibet is a large region with a low
population density, in which Tibetans
are already starting to be a minority.
Little-known and at the same time
politicised, Tibet reveals some of the
cracks in China’s immense power, in a
highly nuanced conflict that resonates
with many universal dilemmas.

DEBATE AND REFLECTION THE CITY AND PUBLIC SPACE
The transformation of mass society and
the visibility regime of modern
Western society has led to a radical
change in the way we currently
experience anonymity. In a society
dominated by the identification-based
logic of control on one hand, and the
differentiation-based logic of multiculturalism on the other, being anonymous
no longer just means being a victim of
standardisation and the loss of an
individual face. In many cases,
“Learning anonymity” becomes a path
of individual and collective resistance.
The recent mass citizen mobilisations
prove it: “Stop War”, March 13 and the
demonstrations in favour of decent
housing, among others, have found

the fact that they have been self-organised by an anonymous “us” that refuses

temporary uses of public space. To
complement the exhibition Post-it City.
Occasional Urbanities, which offered a
compilation of some of these new
temporary uses, a series of meetings
were organised to give an insight into
some of the projects connected to the
exhibitions, in order to contribute to
current reflection on the nature of
contemporary public space.

As part of the series of debates on Near
Eastern cities, the CCCB organised a
session focussing on Tel Aviv, which,
together with La Valleta and Tirana,
is one of the few cities founded on the
shores of the Mediterranean since the
fall of the Roman Empire. Created in
1909 beside the Arabic port of Jaffa, the
oldest in the world, the city currently
has a population of more than four
hundred thousand.
Tel Aviv’s architecture reflects the
different layers of its historical development: the “oriental” style of the first
third of the 20th century, similar to that
which can be seen in Cairo, Beirut,
Istanbul and Baku was followed, in the
thirties, by the construction of up to five
thousand Bauhaus buildings, which led
it to be dubbed “the white city” More

rance of its waterfront. Tel Aviv is now
the cultural and artistic centre of secular
Israel, increasingly heterogeneous due
to the large influx of immigrants and an
intense artistic, literary and musical life
that contrasts with the religious conservatism of neighbouring Jerusalem.
Nevertheless, with the ongoing failure to
find a stable, fair solution to the conflict
between Palestinians and Israelis, the
proximity of Jaffa is a constant reminder
of other histories, identities and possible
futures for this land.
BARCELONA, METACITY
The major urban transformation of
Barcelona that came about as a result of
the 1992 Olympic Games led the city to
be internationally acclaimed as a model
of urban and social cohesion. However,
the new reality in recent years is shaking
up some of the elements of this model.
To coincide with the publication of the
book La metaciudad: Barcelona. Transformación de una metrópolis (“The
metacity: Barcelona. Transformation of
a Metropolis”) (Anthropos, 2008), the
ORIGINS: LAHORE
CCCB organised this debate in order
to analyse some of the main spatial,
cultural and social challenges facing
Barcelona today.
Participants: Mikel Aramburu, Núria
Benach, Leonardo Cavalcanti, Monica
Degen, Juli Esteban, Marisol García,
Emili Garcia, Ricard Gomà, Jordi Martí,
Francesc Muñoz, Rosa Mur, Arturo
Rodríguez Morató and Carlota Solé.
This debate on Lahore marked the launch of the CCCB’s
Origins series, which looks at cities that are points of cultural
irradiation in the home countries of the migrant groups that
have made Barcelona their home. The aim of this debate is to
show some of the most prominent urban cultural influences
in these countries, in order to try and build bridges between
the different cities.
Lahore is the cultural capital of Pakistan and, with ten
million inhabitants, its second largest in terms of population.
With one of the most important architectural heritages on the
Indian subcontinent, thanks to the legacy of the Mughal
Empire (1526-1857), the city is currently witnessing the
emergence of civic and artistic initiatives that seek ways to
combine an inescapable modernisation with the conservation
of the city’s historic heritage. At the same time, Lahore has
to face massive rural immigration that challenges its
infrastructures, and a highly unstable political situation that
directly affects the day to day life of its inhabitants, and
sometimes makes it unviable.
Finally, the historic complexity of the region, with a religious
and cultural heterogeneity that led to the detonation of
turbulent conflicts throughout the 20th century, was a good
excuse to reflect on how we would like to imagine the
possibility of peaceful coexistence in our cities.
As part of the debate, there were screenings of the films The
Rock Star and the Mullahs by Ruhi Hamid (United Kingdom,
2003), Basant. La guerra dels estels by Andrés Antebi, José
González Morandi, Pablo González and Eva Serrats (Spain,
2007) and In Flesh and Spirit de Maheen Zia (Pakistan,

The struggle against international
terrorism has come to mean that any
person who makes use of public space
in a Western city is now considered a
potential target of the mechanisms of
control that strive to protect us. Post
9/11 security cities scrutinise both the
architecture and the movements of
people in urban settings. How are we
to rethink urban space in the light of
these practices that we so habitually see
as threats to our privacy? What does
public space become when the traditional democratic rights of assembly and
protest are deemed to be dangerous in
certain “security zones”, or when the
anonymity of the street is abolished by
the proliferation of video monitoring
technology? How are citizens and artistic and social movements responding?
What are the new forms of dissent and
transgression in urban public space?
The European Prize for Urban Public Space was organised for
the fifth time. The purpose of this award, created as a result of
the exhibition The Reconquest of Europe (1999), is to recognise and promote the public nature of urban spaces, as well
as their ability to encourage social integration. Taking into
account the ambiguities inherent in the notion of public space,
this is the only architecture prize of European scope designed
to identify and encourage essentially public (open and accessible to everybody) urban space. This sets the Prize apart from
other initiatives that focus on particular architects or buildings
and from landscape architecture awards, instead highlighting
the relational, civic value of typically urban space.
At present, the Prize is a joint initiative of the CCCB, The
Architecture Foundation (Londres), Architektur Zentrum
Wien (Vienna), Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimonine
(Paris), the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut (Rotterdam)
and the Museum of Finnish Architecture (Helsinki). This
institutional base has made it possible to expand the range
of influence of an initiative that received 174 submissions
from 132 European cities in 2008. This makes the Prize is an
exceptional barometer of the principal directions of European
urban design. All the submissions to the five calls for entries
are brought together in the digital archive http://urban.cccb.
org, which also includes a selection of the most important
lectures on urban themes held at the CCCB.

The Jury for the 5th Prize consisted of Manuel de Solà
Morales, president (representing the CCCB); Severi Blomstedt, director of the Museum of Finnish Architecture; Ole
Bouman, director of the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut;
Rowan Moore, director of The Architecture Foundation;
Francis Rambert, director of the Cité de l’Architecture of the
Patrimoine; and Dietmar Steiner, director of the Architektur
Zentrum Wien. The secretary for this last edition was Carles
Crosas.
The 2008 First Prize was awarded to the Barking Town
Square Project (London). Three Special Mentions were also
awarded to the projects Centrum.odorf (Innsbruck), Other
People’s Photographs (Folkestone, United Kingdom) and
Torre del Homenaje (Huéscar, Granada).
The awards ceremony for the Prize was attended by the
president and the secretary of the jury, and the creators of
the winning projects. It concluded with the lecture Europe,
an Urban Civilisation, by Peter Hall, Emeritus Professor
at University College London, and author of the influential
book Cities in Civilization: Culture, Innovation and Urban
Order (1999).
In order to respond to these questions,
the CCCB brought together a group
of experts to participate in a debate
directed by British geographers Stephen
Graham and Louise Amoore. This event
was part of the CCCB’s permanent concern with reflecting on the intersection
between urban space and sovereignty, a

LA NUEVA REALIDAD DEL CAPITALISMO
With 12 million inhabitants, the Egyptian capital Cairo the
largest city in the Arab world and the largest in any country
bordering the Mediterranean. Site of the pharaonic pyramids
and of the mosques and citadels of the medieval Islamic
world, the opening of the Suez Canal in the mid-nineteenth
century transformed it into a cosmopolitan capital with
communities from all over the Mediterranean. As Cairo’s
greatest modern writer, Naguib Mahfouz, shows in his
novels, cultural currents of a regional and national nature
have long intersected here with those of universal concern.
Since the Egyptian revolution of 1952, however, the city has
become the hub of Arab nationalism and the place from
where the military rulers who continue to control its destiny
exercise their influence.

into his work remains one of the most
enigmatic operations in modern
literature. In his stories, Kafka pulls off
a difficult manoeuvre: Prague is
transformed into an imaginary topography that transcends fallacious realism.

Meanwhile, beyond the network
of cultural centres that make up the
Anella, the very nature of the project
will offer the CCCB new ways to
channel collaborations with national
and international institutions, adding a
new dimension to the Centre’s already
extensive touring program.
This third exhibition in the CCCB’s
Cities and their Writers series was
presented at the CCCB in 1999, The
Jewish Museum of New York from
August 2002 to January 2003 and from
June 2005 it can be visited as a
permanent exhibition in Prague, at the
Hergetova Cihelna gallery, which has
become the Franz Kafka Museum.
LITERATURES OF EXILE
IN SANTO DOMINGO
LIVE
WWW.CCCB.ORG
In 2008 the CCCB set up a more
continuous version of the live Internet
broadcast (streaming) that began in
October 2007 with Naomi Klein’s
lecture to launch her latest book, The
Shock Doctrine. The Centre plans to
stream a large part of its lectures by
leading international intellectuals, as
well as a selection of the most important artistic interventions that take
place there. The aim is to reach people
who are unable to physically visit the
CCCB and offer them opportunities to
access the content of the activities from
their computers. Once edited the
material will be placed online and
remain accessible through the CCCB
web site, making it the main environment for spreading the Centre’s
content.
Curated by
Julià Guillamon, Joaquim Jordà and Francesc Abad
Produced by
CCCB, SEACEX and Institut Ramon Llull
The exhibition maps an itinerary that
follows places linked to the Catalan
literary exile (1939-1975) through
testimonies narrated by the writers
themselves, in their literature and their
personal experiences and histories. The
exhibition allows visitors to relive the
experience of exile through the voices
and words of its protagonists: how the
disappearance of a world leads to certain decisions being made and survival
strategies developed, and also to the
opening up of new horizons, resulting in
a great number of cultural initiatives.
The exhibition has been presented in
Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile and
Mexico, and has been shown at the
Santo Domingo Museum of Modern
Art until February 2008.

CCCB and La Casa Encendida with the collaboration of SEACEX
This exhibition offers a journey through
the cinema of ideas - cinema that is not
part of the entertainment industry and
reveals the medium’s artistic, thoughtprovoking and documentary potential
through its content and the way it is
made. The exhibition presents key
filmmakers and movements in experimental and independent cinema, but it’s
not conceived as an alternative history in
relation to mainstream cinema. The idea
is to define cinema based on practices
that often contradict clichés, and reveal a
world of cinema that can be practiced in
ways that are similar to painting, music
or essays. A specially adapted version
of the exhibition was presented at the
Centro Cultural de Bancaja in Valencia
from the 13th of December 2007 to the
24th of March 2008.
An exhibition that brings together two
key filmmakers, Víctor Erice and
Abbas Kiarostami, in a dialogue
concerning their creative interests:
transparency in filming, their search for
reality and how to capture it, etc.
Following its presentation at the Centre
Georges Pompidou in Paris (September
2007 to January 2008), the exhibition
travelled to Australia where it has been
presented at the Australian Centre for
the Moving Image in Melbourne from
August 21st to November 2nd, 2008.
FEZ. INTERIOR CITY

IN TRANSITION

Curated by
Manel Risques, Ricard Vinyes and Antoni Marí
Produced by
CCCB, Direcció General de la Memòria Democràtica del Departament d’Interior, Relacions Institucionals i Participació - Generalitat de
Catalunya, Sociedad Estatal de Conmemoraciones Culturales (SECC) and Sociedad Estatal para la Acción Cultural Exterior (SEACEX)
In Transition isn’t meant to be a chronological, narrative description of a particular period in history. The exhibition offers
a possible approach to understanding a
dense, complex process that served as
the threshold between the dictatorship
and democracy, one which affects and
grew from the people who lived through
it. This process is explained through big
sections that evaluate and question the
past, in terms of the historical approach
and its conclusions and instruments.
Fez is a complex, mixed and conflictive city, nothing like the tourist
clichés. A city that requires an in-depth
approach, because its structure is based
on many layers, each succeeding one
harder to penetrate. The exhibition is
configured by video projections that
offer a journey into the interior of the
city of Fez, looking at different aspects
of its anthropological, sociological,
urban and religious fabric.
This exhibition has been presented at
the Universidad de Alcalá de
Henares, from November 2008 to
January 2009, by the Fundación
Bancaja.
After its season at the CCCB and before
touring internationally, the exhibition
was presented at Cadiz’s Claustro de
Exposiciones del Palacio Provincial
from March to May 2008 and the Centro
Cultural de la Villa in Madrid from
October to December 2008.

OPEN CCCB DEBATES BEYOND THE CCCB
THE SEARCH FOR THE FOURTH WAY.
NEW LEFT, NEW RIGHT IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Dates
September 20 and 21
Venue
Centre for Liberal Strategies, Sofia, Bulgaria
Directed by
Ivan Krastev, director of the Centre for Liberal Strategies
Organised by
Centre for Liberal Strategies, Open Century Project at the Budapest Central European University and CCCB
This debate, which was held on September 20th and 21st at the Centre for
Liberal Strategies in Sofia (Bulgaria),
began by looking at the breakdown of
traditional definitions of the political
left and right as a result of the changes that have taken place over the last
twenty years. The traditional right has
been overwhelmed by new populisms
in both Western Europe and countries
that have recently joined the European Union, while the traditional left
is immersed in a deep-seated identity
crisis. The politics of Nicolas Sarkozy
in France and the desperate attempts
of the Italian and Greek left to reinvent
themselves are symptoms of the search
for a “fourth” way in European politics.
The discussions centred on an attempt
to define the focal points being configured by the left and right in Europe in the
context of the new world order.

The CCCB Archive is a thematic multimedia archive that makes all of the
material that has been generated by the CCCB throughout its thirteen years of
cultural activity available to the public for the first time.
Over the years, the CCCB has accumulated an exceptional collection of material
as a result of the exhibitions, film programs, conferences and debates, festivals,
and the many kinds of cultural activities that have allowed the centre to reflect on,
and intervene in, key issues in contemporary society and culture. The CCCB
Archive is the processed, compiled and digitalised holdings of an institution that
does not have its own permanent collection, but has nevertheless generated
knowledge, produced and spread new ideas, and contributed to opening up new
cultural imaginaries. Four major themes have defined the CCCB’s history, and
now structure its holdings: (1) the human condition; (2) the world and cosmopolitanism; (3) the city and public space; and (4) artistic creation.
As from 2008, the CCCB Archive makes these holdings available through a series
of theme-based presentations that deal with each of these major themes, and that
will gradually grow to encompass the entire CCCB holdings. Each of these
presentations offer visitors all of the material that the CCCB has produced on
these major themes. At the same time, the CCCB puts together showcases to
display the materials that summarise its contribution in a more meaningful way.
http://urban.cccb.org/archive
http://urban.cccb.org/library
The European Archive of Urban Public Space is a digital archive that brings
together the projects submitted to the five editions of the European Prize for Urban
Public Space. The archive aims to contribute to making these projects better known
as initiatives that seek to give new value to the public nature of urban spaces, and
in doing so have fostered greater collective use of these spaces, the activities held
in them, and the way citizens identify with them as part of their everyday lives.
The Urban Library brings together the most important texts on urban issues that
the CCCB has been accumulating since it was founded. Exhibitions, debates and
lectures make up these holdings on contemporary cities that take the form of a
virtual library. It places the CCCB’s more theoretical approaches to cities within
everyone’s reach. The Library includes texts by Zygmunt Bauman, Jordi Borja,
Manuel Castells, Jean-Louis Cohen, André Corboz, Robert Fishman, Jan Gehl,
Oriol Nel·lo, Xavier Rubert de Ventós, Saskia Sassen, Michael Sorkin, Eyal
Weizman and Sharon Zukin, among others.
During 2009, two theme-based CCCB Archive showcases were held: Pardoxical
Times and World. A Cosmopolitan View.
XCÈNTRIC ARCHIVE
Paradoxical Times (January 21 – September 14, 2008) is the first CCCB
Archive showcase, and presents all the materials that have contributed to the
centre’s reflection on the new and old contradictions of the human condition in a
constantly changing world. With this showcase, the CCCB offers visitors over 150
videos from its holdings, which are a record of its reflections on the social and
cultural transformations that define the globalised world.
Since its public launch as the epilogue to the exhibition That’s Not Entertainment.
Cinema Begets Cinema, the Xcèntric Archive has gradually expanded with the
incorporation of new titles, and know holds 700 works. Since 2008, the Archive
was available for free, public viewing in an ad hoc space that was accessible
during exhibition opening hours.
World. A Cosmopolitan Vision (October 22, 2008 – August 31, 2009) is the
second CCCB Archive showcase. It presents all the CCCB holdings material
related to cosmopolitanism and the reflection on cultural plurality in today’s
world. This second showcase, which coincided with Kosmopolis’08, also presents
the Kosmopolis Archive, which offers the public all the material relating to this
International Literature Fest.
World. A Cosmopolitan Vision multiplies the materials that the CCCB makes
available to the public
• 50 exhibitions
• 700 lectures and performances
www.cccb.org/xcentric/homeg.htm
The archive is conceived to mirror Xcèntric programming. Without intending to
create an exhaustive collection of experimental video, it will grow each year in line
with the works programmed at Xcèntric, the CCCB’s cinema.
A specifically designed interface allows visitors to view films by: Peggy Ahwesh,
Martin Arnold, Stan Brakhage, Abigail Child, Stephen Dwoskin, Harun
Farocki, Oskar Fischinger, Jean Genet, Jean-Luc Godard, Kurt Kren,
Malcom Le Grice, Len Lye, Mara Mattuschka, Jonas Mekas, Norman

van der Keuken, among others. Recent additions are the complete works of
Norman McLaren, 1970s films by Chantal Akerman and a selection of recent
works by John Smith.
