20 Years of the CCCB
The year 2014 marked the 20th Anniversary of
the CCCB. Over the course of its first 20 years,
the Centre has substantially increased its range
of activity and its outreach. Furthermore, its
field of activity has grown to embrace virtually
all formats and languages, always placing
the emphasis on contemporary thinking and
creation. It has also expanded in physical terms:
in 2011, it officially inaugurated its new multipurpose building, the Teatre CCCB, opening up
new potential and offering a venue ideally suited
to the performing arts, music and audiovisuals.
9
Throughout this period, the “CCCB formula” – if we can call it that – has demonstrated not only vitality
in terms of its productive output but a proven capacity to surprise, go beyond convention, make significant contributions, and offer exhibitions and activities of extremely high quality. This track record has
earned it notable renown, in both Catalonia and Spain, and very importantly, in the international sphere.
This is a source of great satisfaction, for us and for everyone who has formed part of the Centre or has
collaborated with it over the last two decades.
Our major objective today is to take advantage of these 20 years of valuable experience as we usher
in a new phase of renewal – and of exploration that is not exempt of risk – to enable the CCCB to
embrace and adapt to the myriad dramatic changes that are transforming society. These affect
people’s lifestyles and view of their surrounding reality and of the world in general. Similarly, they
are restructuring the relationship between the individual, thinking, and creation, and, ultimately, are
causing an evolution in our approach to and enjoyment of culture.
This 20th anniversary offers an excellent opportunity for the CCCB to reaffirm its commitment to
constant renewal, which requires openness towards society and a strong, close connection with
everything taking place outside of our walls. This commitment, largely comprising attitude and determination, should allow us to explore new ground and reach a larger audience, as well as try out new
ways of working. We need to pay greater attention to processes and collaboration through networking,
which means opening the door to new proposals and providing support and opportunities to groups
and creators who hold promise for the future.
For the CCCB, experimentation and change are part of its DNA. Taking advantage of the occasion, it
proposed to initiate a new phase intended to be one of impetus. This should allow it to continue standing as an essential reference model for high-quality culture made available to all audiences. The 20th
anniversary celebration marked, therefore, this commitment to renewal, which must make its mark on
our institution’s immediate future.
In this new phase we also propose to raise awareness of the CCCB and of its range of activities,
especially among people in Barcelona and Catalonia who are still unacquainted or unfamiliar with us.
Improving connections with society, with creative communities and with the public at large also means
making the most of the possibilities offered by the digital environment – Internet, social media networks, etc. This should be understood not only in instrumental terms, as a tool for disseminating and
enhancing the Centre’s constant activity, but also as a medium that allows us to offer specific contents.
In this sense, our challenge now is to make the CCCB a fully integrated cultural venue, i.e., one that
functions on both a physical and a virtual level.
The CCCB wanted to start to express its desire for renovation for 2014 with a set of activities and
proposals designed for an active, curious and creative citizenry, a series of actions to celebrate the 20
years of the CCCB.
These are the actions that were carried out or commenced in the year 2014 to give sense and materialise the CCCB’s commitment with permanent innovation:

The year 2013 marked the commemoration of 100 years since the
birth of Salvador Espriu (1913-1985). The CCCB, in collaboration
with the Catalan Government’s Ministry of Culture, organised one
of the central events of Espriu Year: the exhibition “Espriu. I Looked
Upon This Land”, which offered the public an approach to the creative career and life history of the writer, to show not only the capital
importance of his figure for Catalan culture, but also the complexity
and richness of his work which transcends any label and thus establishes Espriu as a timeless classic.
The exhibition developed different aspects of his biography, of his
literary world and of the public repercussions of his work. It also
defended the currency of Salvador Espriu, and the validity of his
themes and viewpoints in the world today, based on the triple perspective that the exhibition proposed: the mythical and symbolic
world, social transcendence and indomitable criticism.
A poet, narrator and playwright, Espriu asks himself about the great
human questions. The exhibition evoked the myth of Sinera; ethical
commitment when faced with the Civil War and the post-war years;
the defence of Catalan culture in difficult times; the Espriu phenomenon, when he became an indispensable reference point in Spanish
Culture; his vision of the “bull’s hide” based on dialogue and tolerance; his candidature for the Nobel Prize, and his imaginary world
– sometimes grotesque, sometimes evocative, but always of an extraordinary power.
The exhibition presented a great quantity of unpublished materials originating from archives and private collections. The last part
of the exhibition recreated one of Espriu’s fundamental ideas: the
world as a grotesque labyrinth, based on a gallery of characters that
inhabit his narrative, his poetry and his plays, presented in animations produced by young creators. The characters of this gallery
were integrated into an animated tale, of surprising currency, that
allowed the visitor unfamiliar with the Espriu universe to enter it
from a new perspective.
“‘I Looked Upon This Land’ takes us to Espriu’s gaze towards his
land and towards his world: sometimes critical and wildly amusing, but also understanding and full of compassion towards human
weaknesses.” (Julià Guillamon)

“Metamorphosis. Fantasy Visions in Starewitch, Švankmajer and
the Quay Brothers” presented the work of four essential figures
in animated film: the Polish (Russian-born) Paris-based pioneer
Ladislas Starewitch (1882-1965), the Czech master Jan Švankmajer
(1934) and the Quay Brothers (1947), twins born in Pennsylvania
and resident in London for the last three decades. Three singular
filmographies that, even so, share many things in common: an eccentric, dreamlike universe in which innocence, cruelty, voluptuousness, magic and madness coexist. A troubling, poetic and lucid
landscape, at times grotesque and at times phantasmagorical, of
characters who love the unproductive and the futile.
Theirs is a cinema of resistance against narrative conventions which
is impervious to the rationalising hygiene modernity has imposed.
In the face of the world of the adult and the correct, Starewitch’s
imagination, Švankmajer’s provocation and the Quay Brothers’ permanently convalescing characters put themselves forward as an unexpected invitation to freedom. Animated cinema is the demiurgic
art par excellence: matter comes to life and is transformed in the
hands and imaginations of the creators. They, more than anybody,
know about the secret life of objects.
The exhibition also showcased a large number of literary, artistic
and cinematographic references which traced the spheres of interest defended by these filmmakers: fairy tales, horror stories, the

world of dreams, cabinets of curiosities, pre-Enlightenment science, alchemy and illusionism.
This is the first time that the work of these four artists had been
presented in depth in our country, but what represented a truly international event was the bringing together in a single space of the
work of these animators who maintain an explicit dialogue between
themselves: the Quay twins acknowledge that they are admirers of
Jan Švankmajer and all three enjoy the company of Starewitch.
The exhibition presented works by the following creators: Leonardo Alenza, Arnold Böcklin, Walerian Borowczyk, Charles Bowers,
Luis Buñuel, Émile Cohl, Gustave Courbet, Segundo de Chomón,
Salvador Dalí, Monsu Desiderio, James Ensor, Max Ernst, Francisco de Goya, Jean Grandville, Emma Hauck, Max Klinger, Alfred

duction to the healthcare and social policy of the Mancomunitat,
which was of a modern and innovative nature inspired by the industrialised countries of Europe and which permitted the transition of 19th-century hygiene into modern public health, and from
charity to social welfare.
The Diputació de Barcelona, in collaboration with the Diputació de
Girona, the Diputació de Lleida and the Diputació de Tarragona,
presented a set of exhibitions that analysed the history, architects,
thought and work carried out by the Mancomunitat de Catalunya,
a century after its creation. It consisted of a generic exhibition and
of six themes that were presented at six different venues around the
Catalan territory.
The other thematic exhibitions that formed the project were the
following: “New Structures for Education” (Escola Industrial, Barcelona, 9 April-20 July), “Connecting the Territory: Telephony
and Public Works” (Institut d’Estudis Ilerdencs, Lleida, 10 April-1
June), “Boosting Scientific Knowledge” (Institut d’Estudis Catalans,
Barcelona, 11 April-4 June), “Network of Public Libraries” (Palau
de la Diputació de Tarragona, 13 June-7 September) and “Standardisation of the Language” (Casa de Cultura de Girona, 17 June-27
July).
At the CCCB, two exhibitions were presented. Firstly, “The Start
of Tomorrow. Mancomunitat de Catalunya: 100 Years”, an introductory exhibition devoted to analysing the history, main figures,
thought and work carried out by the Mancomunitat de Catalunya;
and secondly, “From Charity to the Public Health Service”, an intro-

The form of the city is closely related to democracy. This is the theory of the European Prize for Urban Public Space which, since the
year 2000, has been recognising and disseminating processes of
transformation and improvement of public spaces in Europe.
Cities are far from being an idyllic paradise. Now, when more than
half the world’s population lives in urban environments, cities are
facing threats that raise serious doubts about their future. Europe
which, throughout history, has created cities that are exemplary in
terms of density, human scale and complexity, is no longer exempt
from these risks. Exorbitant growth, social and spatial segregation,
neglect of outlying areas and predominance of the private vehicle are some of the problems that presently endanger the ideals of
equality and freedom, which have been associated with the European city since its very beginnings.
Fortunately, however, Europe also offers many admirable examples of improvement in its public spaces. These are works which,
sensitive to their context, value the political and social dimensions
of urban spaces. They look respectfully back to the past while also
holding out sustainable solutions with future generations in mind.
They embody good practice in taking care of the limits of the city
since they do so in the awareness that peripheral zones are part of
its identity and that contact with nature, and with water, is a resource that must be conserved and integrated, in the best interests
of everyone. These are proposals that understand public space as
a place for equality, redistribution of resources and recognition of
minorities. They are interventions that give priority to access over
barriers of every kind, and encourage appropriation of the city by its
citizens. From Glasgow to Istanbul, and from Lisbon to Bucharest,
the European Prize for Urban Public Space has become a privileged
observatory of the problems and solutions which have now come to
characterise European cities.
“Shared Cities” is the exhibition of twenty-five of the best works
presented for the eighth edition of the Prize, an event that the
CCCB organises in collaboration with The Architecture Foundation (London), Architekturzentrum Wien (Vienna), Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine (Paris), Museum of Finnish Architecture
(Helsinki) the Museum of Architecture and Design (Ljubljana) and
the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (Frankfurt).

“Big Bang Data” was a project that made inroads into the phenomenon of the data explosion in which we find ourselves immersed.
Over the last five years, a broad awareness has existed between the
academic and scientific sectors, the administrations, enterprise and
culture that generating, processing and above all interpreting data
is radically changing our society.
We all generate data, with our mobile phones, through sensors,
social networks, digital photographs and videos, purchase transactions and GPS signals. What is new is that it is increasingly easy to
store and process these vast quantities of data that detect patterns
(of incidents, behaviour, consumption, voting, investment, etc.).
This fact is very quickly and completely changing the way decisions
are made at all levels.
Different creators participated in the project such as Timo Arnall,
Christopher Baker, Chris Jordan, Ingo Gunther, Erik Kessels, David Bowen, Aaron Koblin, Eric Fischer, Near Future Laboratory,
Bestiario, researchers, activists, designers, analysts, cartographers,
engineers, economists, architects, communicators, programmers,
journalists among many others.
New line of Beta exhibitions at the CCCB
On its third floor the CCCB has opened a central space for exhibition projects that deal in an integrated way with 21st-century culture and the major transformations of the digital era.
“Big Bang Data” was the first of this series of proposals that tackle areas of friction that come with these changes: from science
through technological and social innovation and political, economic and cultural challenges.
During over five months of the duration of “Big Bang Data”, the
exhibition space acted as a platform for meeting and debate around
this issue of maximum currency, which hosted workshops, hackathons, educational programmes and meetings of local and international communities.

Within the context of the commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the Siege of Barcelona by Bourbon troops in the year
1714, the CCCB proposed an audiovisual installation and a programme of activities to offer a reflection on the most contemporary aspects of cities under siege. The objective of the activities
was to transfer the notion of siege to the world of today, from the
forms in which in the present the besieging of cities continues
to be a fully current warfare strategy (Beirut, Sarajevo and Gaza,
among so many examples), to the subtlety with which today new
urban realities spread based on segregation and marginalisation;
or how the new obsession with security in the great metropolises
has allowed the normalisation of forms of control and surveillance over their citizens.

The CCCB’s reflection placed the emphasis on all those realities of
the contemporary city that condemn its citizens to live under new
forms of siege. Moreover, the activities also explored the opposite of
the besieged city: the open city, a city where the inhabitants do not
live under the shadow of a threat that places in question their liberties. It offered a reflection on which elements are necessary to make
an open city possible.

The tenth edition of the international World Press Photo exhibition, organised by the Fundació Photographic Social Vision, was
installed for one month at the CCCB with the 130 winning photographs from the prestigious international prize for photojournalism. This year, the selection included five winners from Barcelona
itself: Pau Barrena, in the category “Observed Portraits”; Moisés
Samán, second prize in the “General News”; category; and the team
formed by David Airob, David Ramos and José Bautista, who obtained third prize in the Short Features category within the competition’s multimedia section.
This unmissable event for photography lovers has become one of
the most notable landmarks in culture and visual journalism in
Barcelona, which year after year attracts thousands of visitors. An
opportunity to witness, through the eyes, the state of the world and
the global reality that surrounds us. Views, stories and realities, that
are translated into images capable of transporting you, changing
you and moving you, or even, of helping you understand the world.
In this edition a total of 5,754 photographers of 123 different nationalities took part, of which 254 were Spanish. In total 98,671 images were received, classified into categories (General News, Spot
News, Contemporary Issues, Daily Life, Observed Portraits, Staged
Portraits, Nature, Sports Action and Sports Feature).

Antoni Arissa (Sant Andreu, 1900-Barcelona, 1980) was probably the photographer who used in the most interesting way the
principles of the New Vision in our country and is one of the
most outstanding photographers of the 20th century. The gradual introduction of the principles of the typophoto, as promoted
by László Moholy-Nagy, would favour the birth of a new visual
language in which photography became a substitute for drawing,
renewing the design of posters, books, magazines and newspapers. Arissa, a printer by trade, working from Barcelona, was fully
a part of this trend.
The exhibition hosted by the CCCB consisted of over 160 photographs in black and white that covered his career in three stylistic
blocks: pictorialism, between 1922 and 1928; the evolution towards
modern visual solutions of modernity up to the early 1930s and the
New Vision, from 1930 to 1936, when Arissa became fully incorporated into the ranks of the photographic avant-garde.
The exhibition photographs originate from the collections of negatives preserved by the Fundación Telefónica and the Institut d’Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya and incorporated the few runs made
by the author that are still conserved on paper. The project is the

culmination of the efforts of the Fundación Telefónica in the recovery of photographic archives, a task that began with the company’s
photographic archive and was expanded subsequently with photographers such as Luis Ramón Marín, Josep Brangulí (to whom
the CCCB dedicated an exhibition in 2011) and Virxilio Vieitez.
With the presentation in parallel of the projects “Arissa. The Shadow and the Photographer” and “Shadowland” by Kazuhiro Goshima (see the next page), two artistic adventures were related that,
while set a century apart, are connected by their research into composition and light.

The exhibition included a workshop space with different materials
and scenes for completing the visit with a photographic experience
based on light and shadow. This activity was available at weekends
and on bank holidays, and was free of charge with the exhibition

This 3D short feature by Japanese artist Kazuhiro Goshima is the
product of the combination of what we call “found animation” and
an innovative stereoscopic technique. Night after night, countless
vehicles tour the world’s metropolises, their headlights producing
fleeting, moving shadows on the multiple surfaces of these big cities. The shadows are tirelessly cast on the walls of a building and in
this way, a transitory image is created from which an instant in the
life of the city transpires.

Xcèntric Workshops
Súper-8: Film, Process, Edit, Screen!
Dates: 6-9 November
Organisation: CCCB
Collaboration: Crater-Lab
For the inaugural session, the CCCB enjoyed the presence of Antoni
Pinent, a Catalan author established in Switzerland who has collaborated closely with Xcèntric as a programmer and a curator. In his
“Between Perforations”, masterclass, Pinent reviewed his film work
and explained his creative process (from theory and technique, with
special emphasis on montage, while making reference to the pieces
by other experimental filmmakers who have influenced him.
A practical workshop for beginners in Super-8 in four sessions,
in which participants learned to work their camera, to shoot film
based on a collective shooting exercise, to manually process the
film and to prepare and mount the resulting material and finally to
screen it. Aimed at artists, filmmakers, students and anyone interested in audiovisual creation and the material aspects of film.
Highlights in the programme included the session devoted to the
portrait of three singular filmmakers: Margaret Tait, Ute Aurand
and Marie Menken, the programme of works unreleased in Spain
by Chris Marker and by Robert Gardner (anthropologist and producer of ethnographic documentaries), a programme of scientific
films viewed through the prism of avant-garde art; a monographic
of Canadian experimental filmmaker, Arthur Lipsett (one of the
maximum reference points for appropriation and collage); in film)
and another dedicated to the young Lois Patiño, whose camera
captures the beauty of landscapes with a unique sensitivity, and the
marathon session “Sublime Desire” held during Museums Night.
Together with the team of regular programmers, in 2014 the guest
programmer was Josetxo Cerdán, professor at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona, and the author of various publications on
documentary cinema.

For the second year running, the CCCB once again became the
stage for the monthly competitions of Poetry Slam Barcelona in its
fifth season. The Poetry Slam is, in essence, an oral poetry competition, but it has also become consolidated as a new way of disseminating the art of the word and of the performance. The complicity
of the poets with the audience is also one of the most characteristics
elements of each competition in which the role of the spectators is
fundamental for evaluating the expressive skills of the creators. In
the winter months, the monthly date with the poetry slam was held
in the Hall, and with the arrival of the good weather, the competitions moved outdoors to the Pati de les Dones.

One Saturday each month on TVE’s La 2
In 2014 broadcasting continued by TVE’s La 2 of the programme
Soy Cámara, a monthly thirty-minute programme that in the year
2014 had a total of 932,000 viewers.
Each programme reflects around themes taken from the CCCB’s
exhibitions and activities, with the intention of showing a different
way of seeing and understanding the Centre. To produce it, a combination of specially filmed material and the holdings of the CCCB
Archive is used.
The programme, which has a desire for experimentation both
in its formal language and its narrative treatment, presents a patchwork structure with a friendly and intelligible approach, constructed based on a large number of voices and audiovisual fragments,
originating from archives from all eras, textures and genres. There
is no presenter or voiceover narrator, and the title varies with each
episode, as does the typography, style and thread of the programme,
which to date has had the collaboration of twenty-five different directors and scriptwriters.
The subjects tackled in 2014 were, among others, the following:
the art of provocation, the nouveau poor, poetic expression and the
word, artists and the visualisation of data, cities under siege and the
power of images.

Off Programme
Organisation —
CCCB
Unplanned regular audiovisual
programme
January — December
Off Programme is a space for all those audiovisual works that emerge
from the commitment and solidarity of their authors, the screening of
which is enhanced by a debate with participation by the audience and
the presence of the producers, of experts or of people directly involved
in the subject. In the year 2014, three sessions were held.
On 22 January, there was a screening of the investigative documentary Economia col·lectiva. L'última revolució d'Europa (Eulàlia
Comas, Spain, 2013) which gave rise to a debate on the situation of
cooperativism in our country and its feasibility in times of economic
crisis. On 10 July, the premiere took place simultaneously in some
thirty Spanish cities of Yo decido. El tren de la libertad (CIMA, Spain,
2014), a documentary produced by the Collective of Women Filmmakers against the reform of the abortion law, which recorded the
demonstration of 1 February in Madrid and gave testimony of the
opposition from women from all around Spain to this reform. On 23
October, at a session of the 22nd International Exhibition of Women’s
Films of Barcelona titled “Silenced Sexual Violence”, the screening
took place of 475: Break the Silence (Hind Bensari, Morocco, 2014)
a documentary on the impunity of rapists in Morocco, which in the
debate with the presence of its director, invited people to a deep introspection on our perception of sex, rape and its different consideration
in the legislations of different countries.

CCCB and the Centre d’Art la Panera, Animac prepared “Stop-Motion, yes! New talents in animation” (60’), a special programme for
all audiences with a selection of the best stop-motion films of recent

Since 2006, BCNmp7 has been dedicated to creation and reflection
around the music scene of the present. In 2014 it consisted of five sessions,
programmed by two cultural professionals/collectives, who defend an
own conception of music and of what it means to be a music programmer. The first session, “Uncontrollable Music”, revolved around the DoIt-Yourself culture. The participating groups were Pharmakon, Una bèstia incontrolable and Coàgul. The second session, “The Industrial/New
Wave scene in Barcelona in perspective”, was dedicated to the beginnings
of the most unknown and avant-garde electronic scene of the early ‘80s
in Barcelona, including a debate with three pioneering musicians (Víctor Nubla, Gat and J.J. Ibáñez) and a performance by Philippe Laurent
and Tvnnel. The third session, “It kills me but I like it: genealogy of Zeidun”, aimed to reunite one of the best emo, hardcore and post-hardcore
bands ever created in Catalonia: Zeidun. With members of the original
band and some of the bands that they created subsequently. The fourth
session “Barcelona, magnetic city” brought together some of the city’s
most charismatic musicians in jazz, funk, bossa-nova and experimental
rock. With performances by Za!, Llibert Fortuny, Munir Hossn, David
Soler and Pablo Schvarzman. With the title “Musical politics”, the fifth
session approached political drive within the music context, with a radio
programme and live music session with Filastine and Dick el demasiado.

The third edition of First Person was again a venture into the stage
representation of the self through three days of narrative, pop music
and monologues, and it expanded the programme from two days to
three, with two sessions per day.
The CCCB’s stage was trodden by musicians such as the American Calvin Johnson, perhaps one of the most influential in American indie music, founder of bands such as Beat Happening; Gerard
Love, member of the Scottish pop group Teenage Fanclub, who
was accompanied by young Mallorcans Beach Beach, and Manolo
García (El Último de la Fila), who talked about his career with musicians such as Extraperlo, El Último Vecino, Esther Margarit and
Miqui Puig i l’Agrupació Cicloturista Puig.
The literary representatives were Scottish writer Irvine Welsh,
author of the well-known novel-made-film Trainspotting; New York
novelist Jonathan Lethem, who talked about the most autobiographical
fragments of his work with his sister, Barcelona-based translator Mara
Lethem; Canadian Sheila Heti, one of the most applauded writers of
her generation, or the British writers David Nobbs and Jonathan Coe,
who talked about Sad comedy in a train carriage. Moreover, the author
of Yo, precario, Javier López Menacho, explained his adventures in the
precarious world of work, and writer and professor Jorge Carrión paid
tribute to the great American explorer Burton Holmes.

For another year, the CCCB joined around seventy cultural centres
in Barcelona and its Metropolitan Area to participate in Museum
Day and the Night of Museums. The centre opened its doors free
of charge and organised an entire series of activities to great success
among the public.
During the Night of Museums, held on 17 May, free admission
was offered to the exhibitions (“Metamorphosis. Fantasy Visions
in Starewitch, Švankmajer and the Quay Brothers”, “The Start of
Tomorrow. Mancomunitat de Catalunya: 100 Years”, “Shared Cities” and “Big Bang Data”). In addition, a film marathon was programmed titled “Metamorphosis. Sublime Desire” and a selection
of animated films was screened under the title “Animac presents...
Stop-Motion, Yes!”
During Museum Day, which was held the following day, in addition to free admission and the selection of animated films, there
was a series of screenings titled “Visual Moves and Female Transfigurations”, in a unique session that formed part of the programme

International Documentary Festival
of Barcelona
26 May — 1 June
DocsBarcelona held its 17th event, with five days of film screenings,
talks with the directors and master classes, based around the world of
documentary films.
This new edition came with a proposal of over forty national and
international titles brimming with unique stories and characters fighting for a better world. The programme kicked off with the screening of
The Good Son (Shirley Berkovitz, Israel, 2013), the story of Or, a 22-year
old Israeli man who breaks the limits of family trust to find his role in
the world and make his most longed-for dream come true. The final
touch was given by the premiere of Five Days to Dance (Rafa Molés
and Pepe Andreu Spain, 2014), the story of two dancers who have five
days to make a group of teenagers dance; very little time for a major
challenge: moving people when the world paralyses us.
DocsBarcelona also organised the Pitching Forum, one of the
most important markets in Europe for funding documentary projects, with over 400 accredited professionals. The festival also featured
the section Docs&Teens, devoted to children and young people aged
12 to 16 years. Over 700 students took a closer look at documentary
films to discover other realities. DocsBarcelona was held at the CCCB
(Auditori and Teatre) and at different venues around the city (Aribau
Club, Arts Santa Mònica and Auditori de La Pedrera).

The fourth edition of Pròxims, a pop, folk and rock music festival featuring Catalan bands that is now a summer classic, moved its Barcelona stage to Plaça de Joan Coromines. In 2014 it presented a double
edition, adding to its July event in Barcelona a second date in Calonge
on 9 August.
In Barcelona, Pròxims brought together Mishima, presenting one of the season’s most awaited albums, L’ànsia que cura, and
Standstill, who after two years focused on their Cènit project returned to offer a more classic version of their live show. They were
accompanied by La iaia, presenting their second album On és la
màgia?; Joan Dausà, one of the stars of early 2014 thanks to his new
album On seràs demà?, and Halldor Mar, an Icelandic musician and
Catalan music fan who presented his album Winds, with versions
in English of Nova Cançó classics. The line-up was completed by
the up-and-coming new band Pribiz, winner of the first Pròxims
Talent Competition.

Away from Home
5 — 21 August
(Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays)
The Gandules’14 programme focused on contemporary films that
revolve around migrants today, reflecting the arduous and perilous
journeys they take to reach destinations where they hope and dream
they will find what their home country could not give them. Films
that tell of journeys full of unknowns, poverty and disappointments:
the problems posed by finding housing and jobs in an alien environment, the difficulties of adapting to cultural and social differences, the
experience of a life far away from family and friends.
With the title “Away from Home”, a total of ten films were
screened al fresco. All sessions were accompanied by one of the nine
short films that were runners-up in the CCCB’s 20th Anniversary
competition. In addition, during August, Filmin offered a selection
of titles related with the season’s theme on its website.
Gandules'14 Short Films Competition
While continuing with the centre’s line of making the audience participate and in the context of 20 Years / 20 Actions of the CCCB,
a short films competition was organised based around the theme
Away from Home. After a round of online voting for all the works
received, the nine most-voted shorts were screened during the sessions of Gandules’14 and a jury selected the best short film, which
won a cash prize of 500 euros.

A month, an artist
“Pantalla CCCB: a month, an artist”, is a space for audiovisual works
by authors who experiment and innovate with new aesthetic, formal
and narrative languages.
It is presented simultaneously on a screen at the Espai Audiovisual and as an online screening on the CCCB website. Our idea is
to open a new channel for disseminating and exhibiting audiovisual
works, in a way that allows their observation and contemplation in
a similar way to the other visual arts.
The programme was launched in November with Los Ingrávidos (Mexico), an audiovisual collective that defends the destructuring of the grammar and aesthetics typical of television and cinema.
In December, it featured Dostopos (Catalonia), a collective
whose mission is to experiment with all the possible montage techniques in audiovisual creation, producing works of different genres
such as video clips, video creations, documentaries, etc.

for professionals, workshops for children and young people, parties
and concerts.

“Open City” consisted of a set of eight lectures within the framework of the project “Europe City”, with the support of the European
Union’s Culture Programme and of Tricentenari BCN 1714-2014.
“Open City” was framed within the line of permanent reflection on the human condition in today’s world which began with
the series “Passions” (2005), and continued with the debates “Life”
(2006), “Sense” (2007), “The Human Condition” (2008), “Impurities” (2009), “Thinking the Future” (2010), “Crisis” (2011) “Virtues”
(2012) and “In Common” (2013).
From the city, every day, a new city emerges, the result of the
incessant movement of its inhabitants, of the juxtaposing of their
stories, of the never-ending friction and mixture of life in its streets.
In the same way that the street, the “room of the collective”, is the
basic cell of the urban form, openness is the condition and essence
of the city, the measure of its vitality and its creative force. Inevitably, however, this condition brings with it ambiguity, conflict, novelty and risk.
For that reason, the tension between closure and openness is
constant, and even though the city is by definition something that
is unfinished, polymorphous, resistant to determination and control, mechanisms and strategies proliferate for closure, limits and
boundaries that aspire to discipline, integrate and reduce the gen-
uine heterogeneity of the city. The open city is a tool for thinking:
an aspiration, a utopian condition, an ideal horizon. Its matrix, imperfect and incomplete, makes it possible to dream of the city as a
space for emancipation, to imagine other ways of living together
and evidencing the logic of exclusion, strategies for survival, the inevitable discord that arises from life in common..

Ballús; Josep Maria Benet i Jornet, introduced by Toni Casares;

20 February
The Brain
Turó de la Rovira, the highest point in Barcelona’s urban fabric, has
an exceptional heritage value: from Iberian village and agricultural
settlement it went on to repel the attacks by the fascist aviation during
the Civil War and, subsequently, it precariously hosted the mass immigration that came to the city. In the year 1992 the last shanty huts
were demolished and in 2009 the architectural intervention began
that achieved the landscape restoration of the summit and that won
the European Prize for Urban Public Space in 2012.
The documentary, La intervenció invisible, by Adrià Lahuerta
and Carlota Coloma, gives a voice to the protagonists of this reform,
and uses the eye-witness reports of the neighbourhood’s residents
to trace a panoramic of the history of the Turó.
The debate following the documentary premiere allowed talk of
the past, present and future of the Turó de la Rovira, as well as its
integration into the neighbourhood and the whole of the city of Barcelona. There was also reflection on the preservation of the historical
memory and on shanty towns and the need for housing, a problem
that the economic crisis has once more made more current than ever.

González Díaz, Adrià Lahuerta and Josep Llinàs.

“The Brain” was the third of the ICREA-CCCB Debates, a stable collaboration launched in 2013 for presenting to the general public the
advances and challenges of high-level research being carried out in
Catalonia.
The brain directs our body: it controls all the other organs and
coordinates our thoughts and actions. Instinctive traits, just like
speech, reflexive capacity or the emotions are all dependent on the
train. However the functioning of the thousands and millions of
neurons and neurotransmitters that make up the brain continues to
be a great unknown, perhaps one of the most fascinating challenges
that the scientific community has before it.
Aware of the capital importance of this research, the European
Commission has chosen the “Human Brain Project” as the flagship
research of its investment in science, because it will generate advances in information technologies that will result in benefits for
industry and society alike.
In this series of conferences, four Catalan scientists explained the new
horizons that have been opened by the latest discoveries in neurosciences.

were they expecting? What was the lack of will or the incapacity
to generate a political alternative due to? What role did the social

Within the context of the exhibition on the European Prize for Urban
Public Space 2014, a series of thinkers and creators reflected on the
common future to try to define what should “the idea of Europe” for
the 21st century be.
Peace and reconciliation between old enemies were the driving
force behind European integration; however, with the uncertainties
of times of crisis, the disaffection of Europeans towards the integration project is growing and it seems that the peace ideal is no longer
enough for generations who did not live through or have no direct
memory of the Second World War. What are the values on which the
sense of the European project can be rebuilt? How can we imagine a
new, stronger, more legitimate, renewed and hopeful Europe?
The series consisted of a conversation between Nancy Fraser
and Michel Wieviorka, introduced by Josep Maria Martí i Font; and
of lectures by Anne Applebaum, introduced by Carme Colomina;
Owen Jones, introduced by Carles A. Foguet; and Gonçalo M. Tavares, introduced by Gabi Martínez.
In addition, a round table was held on cultural Europe titled “A

This lecture from the Institut d'Humanitats de Barcelona closed the

Facultat de Filosofia i Lletres of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and directed by BCF Consultors. It took place within the framework of the exhibition “Shared Cities. European Prize for Urban
Public Space 2014”, which could be visited at the CCCB until 4 June.
What challenges does the mass tourism experience raise today?
How to tackle the relationship between tourism and public space
without feeling the “Barcelona brand” in one’s skin? Far from falling
into the snobbery and elitism of easy criticism of tourists, philosopher Marina Garcés proposed linking the analysis of tourism to the
economic paradigm of extractivism, to the capitalist growth model
that consists of exploiting the common resources of a place until they
are exhausted. Normally, this is applied to the context of the current
emerging countries, and to their exploitation of energy and natural
resources, but what if our extractivism is tourism? There would be
three possible paths: a runaway flight forward, sustainable development or reduction. According to Marina Garcés, Barcelona is still
stuck on the first route. The challenge today is unbranding the city:
that Barcelona marks its distance from runaway capitalism and that
its people peel off the brand that we have tattooed on our skin.

Conversation between Hans Ibelings
and Eugeni Bach
30 May
Architectural critic Hans Ibelings, former editor of A10 New European Architecture and author of European Architecture Since 1890
reflected on what is the essence, in his opinion, of the European city.
On the one hand, he defended why he believes that the concept of
public space and public domain, which at times we assume is universal, is based on very European notions that are not necessarily
shared by the rest of the world. On the other, he analysed the current state of European architecture as well as its perspectives for the
future, where he forecast important changes due to the economic
crisis and above all the demographic evolution of Europe.
Highlighting that architecture is always a reflection of the culture
of the place, Ibelings talked about the European city in dialogue with
architect Eugeni Bach and within the framework of the exhibition
“Shared Cities. European Prize for Urban Public Space 2014”.

Jacob von Gunten, published ninety years earlier.
In parallel with the exhibition “Metamorphosis”, which revealed a set of artists with a radical imagination, positioned on the
margins of the dominant discourses, the debate “A Story of Marginality” raised the question of why it is necessary to read Walser
today and what real power is held by what is deemed marginal or

This lecture, introduced by Marta Segarra, was framed within the
sessions on “Policies of the emotions. Dialogues from the gender
and sexuality angle”, organised on 13, 17 and 19 June.
Hélène Cixous is, undoubtedly, one of the most original voices in contemporary literature and thought. Her lecture – poetic
meditation, literary discourse, personal introspection – reflected
on literature as a means for affirming our existence, entering into
dialogue with voices from the past and facing up to the inevitability
of death. Cixous says: “First we shout. Then we write: we translate
into the ultra silence of writing the acute and brief cries of reality.
Literature is for long-lasting howls, for shouting out to music; the
right to the cries that reality and community life prohibit us from
emitting. Just as at dawn, birds share the acoustic territory – have
you heard it, that orchestra of the indecisive hour? – so I hear the
squeak of the mole of literature”.

This lecture was given within the context of the “Politics of the
Emotions”, sessions organised by the Women and Literature Centre
of the Universitat de Barcelona in collaboration with the Institut
d'Humanitats de Barcelona and the CCCB.
Do passions have a history? What relationship exists between
private feelings and collective experiences? How do the emotions
that we feel today fit into the history of modernity?
This lecture by Javier Moscoso talked about three aspects related with the history of jealousy. Firstly, he examined variations
in forms of understanding and expressing this passion between the
17th and 19th centuries. Secondly, he concentrated on the medicalisation of this social passion in the early 19th century. Finally,
he suggested a reading of the birth of morbid jealousy linked to the
compulsive collecting of proof and evidence. The particular case of
jealousy allowed him to make some more general indications on
the cultural history of the emotions.

Lecture by Colm Tóibín
8 July
In 1975, a young Colm Tóibín disembarked in Barcelona, fascinated
by the city described y George Orwell in his classic Homage to Catalonia. He discovered a city in full political and cultural flux, which he
immortalised in his book Homage to Barcelona.
Within the context of Orwell Day 2014 and introduced by Miquel Berga, Tóibín revisited the work of the British author, examined other sources of history regarding the start of the civil war in
Barcelona and remembered the atmosphere in the city where he
lived forty years later, when it was just emerging from the dictatorship.
On 8 July itself, a literary route was organised around the Barcelona of George Orwell, in Catalan, Spanish and English, guided by
Nick Lloyd, Manu Valentín and Alan Warren, respectively.

Within the context of the commemoration of the 300th anniversary
of the siege of Barcelona, a reflection was proposed on the more contemporary aspects of cities under siege, with the aim of translating the
notion of siege to today’s world and offering a complementary and
multidisciplinary view of it based on specific cases of recent conflicts.
Firstly, there was presentation of an installation with two audiovisual pieces by artists Mariam Ghani and Omer Fast, which was
accompanied by a conversation between Mariam Ghani and curator Chus Martínez on artistic practice within the context of the
siege, titled “Working under Siege”.
Secondly, three sessions were organised with journalists and researchers around differential and characteristic aspects of contemporary sieges: “Gaza. The Permanent Siege”, lecture by Ahron Bregman;
“Drones. Siege at a Distance”, debate with Chris Woods, Tonje Hessen
and Jordi Pérez Colomé, with the screening of the documentary Drone;
and “Syria. Information Under Siege”, a debate with Leila Nachawati,
Lali Sandiumenge and Marc Marginedas.
Finally, “Bajo asedio”, (Under Siege), the December episode of the
Soy cámara television programme produced by the CCCB, va offered a
summary of the reflections covered in the different activities.

it another way, what socioeconomic, political or educational conditions prevent us from deploying the faculties that are specifically
human?

the participation of philosopher Jaume Casals.
The New World Disorder

Lecture by Pankaj Mishra

Capitalism is facing a crisis of a worldwide scope, nation-states are
imploding and the world map has to be re-drawn every week. This
is not the new world order promised by the United States and its
allies after the defeat of communism, in 1989. History itself seemed
to have come to an end that year and have found its end in liberal
democracy and capitalism. Both had to reign together across the
world, and rescue billions of people from poverty and oppression to
bring them to regimes that would guarantee prosperity and individual rights. This seems to have been, however, an even bigger illusion
than the promise of revolutionary communism. How do we view
the new world disorder, its roots and its causes?

Catalonia in the Mirror
of Immigration
This was the fourth of the ICREA-CCCB Debates, a stable collaboration for presenting to the public the advances and challenges of
high-level research being carried out today in Catalonia.
The regeneration of tissues has been a subject that has fascinated humans since ancient times. A part of the adult organism is
capable of regenerating itself according to a process that revolves
around a basic concept: stem cells. These cells have the ability to
differentiate themselves in other cell types, something that allows
them to act as a repair system for the body, and substitute other
cells while the organism is still alive. It is believed that, in the future, stem cells will have the potential to tackle numerous human
diseases, and that they will be used to repair specific tissues or to
substitute entire organs. In addition, it is being seen in recent times
that understanding the behaviour of stem cells is essential for understanding processes such as cancer or ageing.

Presentation of the book by Andreu Domingo

CCCB © Eduard Coll
Catalonia today is defined largely by its relationship with immigration. Some 70% of the Catalan population has its origins in the
migrations of the 20th century, and these constant migratory flows
have shaped the country as it stands today. However, the analysis of
immigration has always been linked to prejudices and very diverse
interpretations. Who are we Catalans? Where and how do we live?
What family models do we create? What role does language play
in the process of integration of newcomers? How has international
migration changed the Catalan demos?
The presentation of the book Catalunya al mirall de la immigració
(2014), by demographer Andreu Domingo, allowed the sweeping
way of clichés and offered, from the standpoints of geography, urban planning and culture, a portrait of Catalonia today.
The debate, moderated by Carles Capdevila, featured the participation of Neus Ballús, Andreu Domingo, Oriol Nel·lo and Francesc Serés.

Somewhere between the free market and state socialism, China is
presently in a phase of vibrant transformation, in which the struggles for sexual freedom, debates on gender and homosexuality are
evermore present in society.
Two of the most prominent people giving voice to these issues,
sexologist Li Yinhe and filmmaker Cui Zi’en, explained the victories that have been won so far and the frictions they have generated
in art and society. These viewpoints were compared with the view
of poet Dolors Miquel, who has incorporated into her work reflections on power and genders, sexuality and eroticism in poetry and
art. At the end of the event there was a screening of the short film
El amor de Sísifo, directed by Lin Yu.
The conversation was introduced by Manel Ollé and featured
the participation of Dolors Miquel, Li Yinhe and Cui Zi’en.
Urban Planet: Mobility

Lecture by John Urry
24 November
This debate marked the start of a collaboration between the scientific institutions ISGlobal, CREAL, B·Debate and the CCCB, to
heighten visibility of the importance of the effects of urban growth
on the environment and on people’s health.
Urban growth seems to be unstoppable. It is calculated that, by
2050, some 70% of the world’s population will be living in urban
environments and, even today, some cities in the world already have
more than twenty million inhabitants. Furthermore, contemporary
society is characterised by a lifestyle notable for its intensive mobility and the mass use of mobility systems based on fossil fuels has a
huge impact on the environment and health, and presents major
challenges in an evermore urbanised world. Is it possible to redirect
urban growth and mobility towards a healthier, more sustainable
and socially just future?
PTo reflect on these questions, the session featured a lecture by John
Urry, Chair Professor of Sociology at the University of Lancaster, expert
on mobility and tourism, and their impact on ways of life in the contemporary world, and co-author of After the Car (2009).
The subsequent debate, moderated by Mark Nieuwenhuijsen,

Uphold adventure. This could be the programmatic ideal of a new
era in which the future has recovered its true condition and suddenly reveals the dark zones, unanswered questions and doubts that
have always characterised it. Revived by the crisis, words like “risk”,
“uncertainty”, and “instability” have re-joined our vocabulary after
decades of exile during which we believed the future was under
control. Today we have been launched into an unpredictable, hazardous journey far from familiar and foreseeable territory.
However, what do we find when we are lost? What boundless
horizons open up when we stray from the path to wander, explore
and ramble? Is not this impulse to head for the unknown also the
seed of knowledge, the trigger of artistic creation, and the necessary condition for imagining and discovering other worlds? The
horizons that we, today’s adventurers, must explore will be reached
by alternative paths, byways that lead us to discover new ways of
inhabiting the world.

The 5th Philosophical Seminar of Barcelona questioned individual and collective identity. The purpose of the inaugural session at
the CCCB was to reflect on the function and limits of individual
identity and group identity from a political standpoint and, more
precisely, within the framework of the contemporary state as a basic
space of recognition. The session, introduced by Felip Martí-Jufresa
and Xavier Bassas, featured the participation of philosophers Vicent
Descombes and Daniel Weinstock.
In addition, the second session, held at the Arts Santa Mònica, tackled the role of the media in defining and creating identities.
Meanwhile the third session, at the Institut français reflected on the
different relations between language and state.

“I am a citizen of the world” Since this famous phrase uttered by
Diogenes of Sinope, there has been ceaseless discussion over the
course of history regarding which entity should attract the loyalty
of individuals and call on their sense of belonging. The world, the
homeland or the nation have been and are the main stations on this
journey.
Historian Anthony Pagden sketched in broad outline the history of these concepts and asked himself about their pertinence in the
contemporary world. Josep M. Fradera introduced the conference
and moderated the debate with the audience.

the international project Passages_Passatges, a lecture was given by
Marcel Smets, architect and town planner, and director of the Scientific and Guidance Council of the Institut pour la ville en mouvement (IVM).
There was a presentation of the IVM’s International Programme, “Passages, espaces de transition pour la ville du 21è siècle,
la petite échelle qui change tout”, in which different cities are participating from the USA, Latin America, China and Europe. The
presentation was given by Mireille Appel-Muller, general delegate
of the IVM.
Enter Forum was born with the aim of opening a constructive, responsible and multidisciplinary dialogue on the use of new technologies and, at the same time, of becoming a space for debate and
reflection. It featured the participation of specialists of international
prestige, who explained their viewpoints on the five major spheres
around which the talks were organised: legal, educational, humanistic, social and relational.
The interventions were followed by a round table with the attending audience. The objective was to connect different collectives
that share the same concerns via the Internet and offer them a space
for dialogue, a meeting point with lectures, screenings of documentaries and workshops.
This forum, organised within the framework of the exhibition
“Big Bang Data”, featured the participation of Yair Amichai-Hamburguer, Victòria Camps, Michael W. Carroll, Milad Doueihi, Eva
Illouz, Isaki Lacuesta, Geert Lovink, Antoni Muntadas, César Rendueles, Paula Sibilia and Bernard Stiegler.

The Xarxa Veïnal de Ciutat Vella (Ciutat Vella Neighbourhood
Network) and the Col·lectiu Accions Urbanes (Urban Actions Collective) organised these “Xerrades per Ciutat Vella” (Talks in the
Old City), five discussions among activists and academics about the
identity and future of Barcelona city centre as a way of reflecting
upon a district which, far from being a leisure ghetto or theme park,
is still the heart that beats to keep the whole city alive.
In each session, an academic talked about some outstanding aspect of Ciutat Vella, touching on different spheres (history, architecture,
demography, commerce) with the aim of contributing points of view
and knowledge about how the old centre has changed and is changing.
This talk was followed by an activist’s comments on the subject under
discussion, thereby encouraging debate with those attending.
The talks took place at different places in Ciutat Vella, one for
each neighbourhood, and the CCCB hosted the final meeting,
which focused on identity and planning.

Collective Architectures is an open, constantly growing international network of individuals and groups interested in participative
construction of the urban environment. Since 2007 a symposium
has been held in a different city each year with the aim of strengthening the network and consolidating alternative ways – from people
and for people – of creating cities that differ from the official model.
In 2014, the annual gathering was held in Barcelona from 6
to 13 July with the theme “The City is Not for Selling but for Living”, an essential idea, today more than ever, especially in a city like
Barcelona which is beset by a host of human and urban problems
caused by the global capitalist system.
At the activity hosted by the CCCB, new collectives were introduced that had joined the Collective Architectures network, and
there were debates on possible forms of collaboration in order to
strengthen the network on an international scale.

The life of others is a continual questioning of our own way of life.
There are many ways of experiencing this interpellation: tolerance,
indifference, violence or the imaginative act of seeing ourselves as
another. The lecture proposed philosophy and literature as tools for
imagining the life of people who we call “others”.

from the 18th century to the current time, the process that has ended up shaping this identity and gives us the keys in a simple and

Space is not one-sided. Each of us has their own concept of space,
whether interior or exterior, whether for habitat or to accommodate
an exhibition. It is clear that for each of these processes you need a different mentality and a set of specific reference tools in order to think
about empty space and how to fill it. Spaces are places where people do
all kinds of activities, from the most private areas such as living spaces
to collective and participative spaces such as exhibition spaces.
The Master’s Degree in the Design and Production of Spaces
brings together different professional concerns and is built based
on two postgraduate courses. Firstly, the postgraduate course “Design of Interiors”, in the professional field of Interior Design, a discipline with a brilliant tradition in Barcelona and that needs its own
reference points. This course seeks to fill a void in the educational
offerings in this area that existed until now. Secondly, the postgraduate course “The Exhibition Space” seeks to work with space as a
meeting point between people and culture within the framework
of creative museography. By taking these two postgraduate courses
students can earn the Master's diploma.
This programme is directed by Arnaldo Basadonna, architect and
lecturer; Mario Corea, engineer and member of the CCCB assembly
team; and Paco Pérez Valencia, painter, museographer and responsible
for the Espacio Escala (Col·lecció Cajasol).

The public space brings together the main values of the city but
also reveals its inequalities. It is an integrating instrument for urban
planning but at the same time a setting and a space for conflicts.
These postgraduate studies aim to offer theoretical and practical
training to think about, design and manage urban public space in
an integrated way, assuming the complexity of the urban reality and
enhancing its democratic virtues.
The CCCB contributes to the programme its wealth of experience from the European Prize for Urban Public Space and its constant reflection on urban themes.

8th Edition of the Prize and
the Exhibition “Shared Cities”
67
In 2014 the European Prize for Urban Public Space reached its
eighth edition. Created in the year 2000, the prize is a biennial competition organised with the aim of acknowledging and stimulating
the creation, recovery and improvement of public space in our cities. With a clearly European vocation, the Prize places the accent on
the social and political dimension of architecture.
At this eighth edition, a total of 274 projects were presented from
194 towns and cities and 30 European countries. The International
Jury was chaired by architect Carme Ribas, in representation of the
CCCB; and featured the participation of Matevž Čelik, director of
the MAO, Sarah Ichioka, director of the AF; Juulia Kauste, director
of the MFA; Francis Rambert, director of the Cité; Peter Schmal,
director of the DAM; and Katharina Ritter, head of exhibitions of
Az W. David Bravo i Bordas, in representation of the CCCB, acted
as secretary.
The Jury decided to award, from among 25 finalists, two joint winners and four special mentions:
Joint Winners
Rénovation du Vieux-Port, Marseilles (France), 2013
The renovation of the Vieux-Port cleared the docks of obstacles and
vehicles, making the presence of leisure boats compatible with access and enjoyment by any citizen. “La vall trenada”, Elx (Spain), 2013
A braided network of paths and footbridges have transformed the
bed of the Vinalopó River into a linear park that re-stitches together the neighbourhoods through which it passes, connecting them
with natural spaces to the north of the city.
Special mentions
Opening of Rainham Marshes, London (United Kingdom), 2014
TA peripheral area of surprisingly well conserved natural richness
has been made accessible to Londoners so that they can discover
it, learn to love it and protect it from probable urban sprawl depredation.
Islamic Cemetery, Altach (Austria), 2012
The construction of a cemetery apt for Muslim rites meets the requirements of a very considerable minority, enabling many immigrants to bury their dead in the land where they have settled. “Baana“, pedestrian and bicycle corridor,
Helsinki (Finland), 2012
A deep railway cutting which sliced through the urban fabric has
been converted into a pedestrian and bicycle corridor in a resource-saving collaborative process that also preserves the memory
of an industrial past.
Teatre La Lira, Ripoll (Spain), 2012
A porch and a footbridge give new life to an empty space left by the
demolition of an old theatre, shaping a frame for a view of the mountains and opening up a gateway to the old town centre.
The event for the award presentation of the European Prize for Urban Public Space 2014, which took place on 25 April in the main
foyer of the CCCB, culminated with the inauguration of the exhibition “Shared Cities”, where works presented for the eighth edition
of the prize were displayed. Once its stay at the CCCB was over, the
exhibition began a tour that over the course of two years has taken
it to visit various European and American cities.
Europe City Project
Fourteen years after its beginnings, the European Prize for Urban
Public Space is taking a qualitative leap to explore, interpret and assess in depth an accumulated legacy of around 500 experiences featuring over 200 cities. With this wish, three of the seven European
institutions that, being linked to architecture or the city, regularly
award the Prize, have decided to join forces and place in common
their experience in order to give impetus to the Europe City project.
Backed by funding from the European Union’s Culture Programme
(2007-2013), the CCCB, the Museum of Architecture and Design
of Ljubljana and the Museum of Finnish Architecture of Helsinki
came together to develop over two years, until August 2015, a series
of networked activities designed to update, foster and disseminate a
European idea of the city.
Among other initiatives, the three institutions co-produce and host
a touring exhibition on the lessons that can be extracted from the
Prize, and organise series of debates and lectures regarding the public space as well as developing workshops designed to raise awareness among people so that they become more actively involved in
the common task of making the city. Some of these workshops are
aimed at children and teenagers as incipient citizens. The Prize’s
website is also being consolidated (www.publicspace.org) to expand
and diversify its contents and extend its network of complicities.
Ultimately, Europe City has come into existence to fuel the ranks of
those aware that the city belongs to everyone.

Blog and Social Networks
The CCCB Lab Blog has been running since 2009 as a window of the CCCB
department specifically devoted to research and innovation in the cultural sphere.
Over the course of the years it has gradually become consolidated as a periodical
publication: a digital magazine with a publishing and art line, and planning of contents
linked to the CCCB’s activities programme: articles, reports and interviews that are
complemented with in-house and external contents (“Resources”). The blog has a clear
vocation of dissemination: it is an attempt to circulate among a broad audience issues
and questions that determine the present and profile the future of the cultural sphere,
often in relation with the important social, economic and political changes caused
by the technological revolution of the last decades.
During 2014, the blog has given support to the following CCCB
projects:
— “Big Bang Data” exhibition: incubation of the exhibition,
starting to publish articles before its opening on the datification
of the world and on the consideration of the new exhibition space
model proposed with it (Beta Station).
— Internet Universe: articles and educational contents for a
project that reflects on the effects of the Internet on our lives and
that the Lab carries out in collaboration with CCCB Educació.
— Cultural Innovation International Prize: interviews produced in house with heads of projects and participants visiting the
CCCB, on the new audiences for culture, the central theme of the
first edition of the Prize.
Over the course of 2014 the blog has published contents with a
weekly periodicity: interviews with participants and chronicles
commenting on the different activities of CCCB Lab and, above all,
30 previously unpublished articles written by Jordi Bernabeu, Marcus Hurst, Sandra Álvaro, José Luis de Vicente, Ramon Sangüesa,
Juan Mateos García, Tijana Tasich, Maria Ángeles Cabré, the team
of Paisaje Transversal, Karma Peiró, Jordi Carrión, Josep Perelló,
Cristina Sáez, César Reyes-Nájera, Carles Sora, Quima Farré, Clara
Bofill, Rubén Martínez, Carlos Bajo Erro, Roc Jiménez de Cisneros, Ignasi Labastida, Sebastián Pérez, Juan Insua, Gemma Galdon,
Alessandro Ludovico, Elisabet Roselló and Enric Senabre.
This year has represented the consolidation of the blog in terms
of the number of visitors: a total of 81,369 users have stopped by,
amply doubling the number in 2013 (40,331) and almost tripling
that of 2012 (28,921). This growth has paralleled the increase experienced in the main social networks of CCCB Lab, which serve as
spreaders and amplifiers of the blog’s contents.

Cultural Innovation International Prize
The Cultural Innovation International Prize is a new biennial award organised
by the CCCB with the aim of stimulating projects that explore the possible cultural
scenarios of coming years, encouraging research and practice. The first call for
applications was opened in October 2014, coinciding with the CCCB’s 20th anniversary,
and it remained open until February 2015. This prize represents another step in
the creative history of our institution, characterised from its origins by research into
new languages and formats for presenting contents. It also expressed the CCCB’s
desire to adapt to the intense transformations of a local and global city context
that converts research in culture into a demand.
Each edition of the Prize will propose a theme on which the competing projects must work. In this first edition, the theme chosen
focused on the dilemmas around the concept of Audience/s: Which
genres and formats will survive the digital revolution and the economic crisis? What type of exhibitions and how will they be visited by
digital natives? What evolution (or involution) will the great call for
participation of recent years undergo? What effects will be caused by
the excess of information and what tools exist for creating an intelligible world? How will the link between the analogical and the digital
world develop? Will the nexuses between humanistic and scientific
disciplines be consolidated? What forms of recommendation will be
accepted (or not) by what was “previously known as audience”? What
styles of mediation will be necessary between experts and professionals, amateurs and prosumers? How will the concept of “programación”? How will cultural institutions have to change to guarantee
democratic access to knowledge and to the means of production and
reproduction, the inalienable rights of citizens?
The winning proposal – which received a prize of 10,000 euros and
the possibility of carrying out the project at the CCCB – will was
selected by an international jury formed by Marcos García (director
of MediaLab Prado), Nina Simon (director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History MAH, California), Mark Miller (head of
youth programmes at the Tate London, Johan Moerman, (director
of Rotterdam Festivals and founder of the Audiences Europe Network-AEN), Conxa Rodà (head of Strategy and Communication
at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya-MNAC) and Juan Insua
(head of projects of CCCB Lab). Jury’s decision was made public in
June 2015.

Internet Universe
This project’s aim is a critical and creative reflection on the set of technologies
connected to the Internet and the unseen and accelerated transformation that it
is causing in our lives. These changes have consequences at different levels – cognitive,
social, economic, educational, political, environmental, etc. – and they affect a large part
of Humanity. The impact of the web in this last decade represents a kind of Big Bang
of a new Universe whose laws, consequences and boundaries we still do not fully know.
Internet Universe aims to offer an overall view of the nature and consequences of the
World Wide Web, one that generates intelligible contents and reflects opinions and theories
of different types in order to offer a complete view of the phenomenon. During 2014 a first
project phase was completed, in close collaboration with the CCCB’s education service: a
course aimed at educators and a prototype of an educational briefcase linked to the project.
Teacher Training Course
Educational Briefcase
Dates: 5-14 February
A series of four training sessions (theoretical introduction, workshop and associated educational material) to offer a global view of
the Internet and of how it affects our lives at three impact levels: on
the person, on the city and on the planet.
Addressing professionals and students in the education sphere, as
well as people linked to the training of children and young people,
the programme has a dual aim: to progressively construct a global
view of the Internet and its effects and to give tools to the educators
in order for this knowledge to be transferred to the classroom.
The themes of the four sessions were the following: 1. Introduction to
the series, with a global view of the world wide web and how it has been
built; 2. Person. What effects do the Internet and technologies have on
the cognitive system?; 3. City. A critical and constructive look at the social media networks; and 4. Planet. Is the Internet as “virtual” as it seems?
What ecological impact does it have and how can it be minimised?
With the participation of Jordi Bernabeu, Efraín Foglia, Marcus
Hurst, Juan Insua, Irene Lapuente, Jordi Oliver, Isidre Plaza, Senén
Roy and Cristina Sáez.
The educational briefcase emerged from the teacher training workshops that were held at the CCCB in February 2014 and its aim is
to transfer reflections from the project to the classroom. The briefcase circulated in physical format and as a prototype around nine
schools all over Catalonia on a test period during the 2014-2015
academic year, and in its virtual format, it can be freely downloaded from the CCCB Educació website. Based on the assessment and
contributions of the schools that used the briefcase, an improved
model will be produced which during the academic year 2015-2016
will be distributed via the Educational Resources Centres.
The network is formed by five educational units that allow analysis
of the impact of the Internet and the technologies that are derived
from it at three incidence levels – person, city and planet – and from
different viewpoints.
The themes of the five units are as follows: 1. Building the web, 2. The
logic of programming, 3. Social media networks and community
action, 4. The ecological impact of the Internet, and 5. Building
knowledge.

conference devoted to the subject, organised in collaboration with the Spanish section
of the OKFN-Open Knowledge Foundation, the Blanquerna School of Communication
and Medialab-Prado.
In the year 2014, the data journalism activities combined with “Big Bang Data”,
the CCCB’s exhibition on the datification of the world, and the work sessions from June
to October were held at the Beta Station, the exhibition’s work space.
Data Journalism Work Sessions
Dates: 22 January, 20 March, 22 May, 19 June, 9 October,

P2Pvalue
Collaborative Networked Production
Collaboration —
P2Pvalue Project, IGOPnet (UAB)
and P2P Foundation
22 January
On 22 January a debating session was held with the presentation of
P2Pvalue, a European project for research and action around commons-based peer production.
The results of the research served for the development of a digital
platform based on decentralised architecture and the design of public policies that promote the commons.
Commons-based peer production is an emerging and innovative
production model in which the creative energy of a large number of
citizens is coordinated, generally with the support of a digital platform – outside the parameters of the traditional hierarchical organisation – to give as a result the public provision of commons-based
resources. In this way, such well-known projects have been built as
Linux, Wikipedia, SETi and Open Street Map, etc. and recently it
has been expanding to many other areas of activity, such as citizen
science, product design, the management of common spaces and
open data sources.
With the participation of Adam Advirsson, Marco Berlinguer (moderator), Samer Hassan, Primavera de Filippi and Mayo Fuster Morell.
The P2Pvalue Project is based on an exercise of mapping of the dissemination and hybridisation of production between peers, and it
researches the conditions that favour collaborative creation, as well
as the value logic of these emerging forms: How does value function in emerging organisational forms? What conditions favour
networked collaborative production? What distinguishes the commons from traditional hierarchical and commercial organisations?

CCCB Lab — Associated Projects
Associated Projects
One of the missions of the CCCB Lab is the creation of distributed networks
that favour the cooperation and exchange of experiences between different cultural
projects. In the year 2014 we have worked on collaborations with:
Barcelona Lab
Latin America-Europe
Cultural Ring
This is a space for innovation open to citizens and promoted by
Barcelona City Council’s Directorate of Creativity and Innovation,
together with other cultural institutions, research centres and companies in the city. The CCCB Lab is a natural ally of this project that
aims to convert Barcelona into an international reference point in
the new scenario of cities that generate intelligence, creativity and
innovation.
The Latin America-Europe Cultural Ring is a network of co-creation, collaboration and participation that links Latin America and
Europe in the field of contemporary cultural action based on the
intensive use of information and communication technologies and
second-generation Internet.

Friends of the CCCB
This year was a special year. Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the CCCB, a
campaign was carried out to attract new Friends; all those who accredited that they
would be 20 years old in 2014 were gifted a CCCB Young Friend card giving them free
access to all the activities produced by the CCCB for the whole year. This was a huge
success, as nearly 1,000 new Young Friends were recruited.
All of our Friends, a total of 1,900, counting all the card modalities, were offered
a series of activities: some exclusive, such as the guided tours of the exhibitions
or the Reading Klub, and others together with the Articket Friends of Museums
or with other communities, as well as special promotions, excursions, etc. The total
number of people attending the different activities was approximately 970.

Education

CCCB Education
CCCB Education
The CCCB’s educational proposal creates a place of convergence between
the cultural world and the educational world beyond the classrooms. It presents
a set of activities aimed at school groups and educators that includes, among others,
guided visits to the exhibitions, activities and workshops related with the centre’s
programme, urban itineraries and an educational briefcase. At the same time,
it includes a social programme aimed at people at risk of exclusion and the project
Sponsor your facility, which strengthens the relationship between education
centres and cultural facilities in the Raval.
At weekends the educational programme is also aimed at a more general audience
and offers a set of activities designed for enjoyment by all the family.
Besides the activities at the centre, the website www.cccbeducacio.org constitutes
a platform for knowledge, dissemination, learning and participation, a network that
enables the sharing of work, experiences and educational resources.
83
CCCB Education
Forging a cultural and educational network
CCCB Education aims to be an open door for collectives, organisations and projects
working between the cultural and the educational world, through digital tools and also
the free loan of CCCB venues so that they can programme their activities.
1. Digital tools
First of all, the website cccbeducacio.org constitutes a network for sharing educational proposals and contents, understanding education
in a broad sense and not only restricted to the classroom. It is open to schools, institutes, academies and universities alike, as well as other
organisations that run activities for them. Currently this virtual space constitutes an archive of some 906 experiences that develop their
work between the educational world and the cultural world.
CCCB Education publishes highlights on its website to offer tools and reflections to the cultural and educational world. At a time of information overload on the net, we want to be critical intermediators for educational contents, taking iver the role of filtering.
Secondly, the Twitter account @CCCBeducacio echoes all of those initiatives that emerge in the shared terrain of both worlds. We currently
have 6,000 followers.
2. Free loan of CCCB venues
A way of exploring the relations between the activities programmed by the Centre and the cultural life of the city is by seeking complicities
in the very spaces of the CCCB.
In 2014, among others, the following activities were hosted:
Light on the Waves
Date: 10 October
The ICFO-Institut de Ciències Fotòniques organised, for the third time, a science fiction competition for secondary school students. The
aim of the competition was to show the capacity of literature and music to talk about science, and the capacity of science to inspire artistic creativity. At the same time, contemporary musicians converted the winning texts into songs, which were presented at a concert on 10
October 2014 at the CCCB.
Ravals 2014
Dates: 14 — 16 November
This collaboration was framed within the various actions that are carried out understanding culture as a driving force for social change
and a generator of coexistence and dialogue. It was an open and participative festival that made known some of the many facets
of the cultural life of the district, encouraging links between organisations and people, through the creation of joint cultural actions.
Voxprima
Dates: December 2013 — July 2015
Voxprima is a collective associated to the CCCB for educational subjects. It carries out the Picto-writing Programme in Ciutat Vella
which is backed by the Education Consortium and has an impact on 600 primary school pupils from the Ciutat Vella district by improving
their level of reading and writing through drawing. It also collaborated on the design of educational activities for the exhibition
“Espriu. I Looked Upon This Land”.
84
CCCB Education
Schools programme
Work focused on temporary and permanent educational proposals connected with
the contents programmed by the various departments of the CCCB taking into account
two premises: that the proposals should be linked to curricular needs and that they
contributed tools that allowed participants to create cultural value.
“Espriu. I Looked upon this Land”
Dates: 30 October 2013 — 16 March 2014
This exhibition allowed work in the field of languages, a highly curricular subject.
“Metamorphosis. Fantasy Visions in Starewitch, Švankmajer and the Quay Brothers”

This exhibition took us fully into the creative process of the audiovisual.
Món Llibre for schools
Dates: 10 and 11 April
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Món Llibre, an advance of the festival was offered with activities designed for schools during
the Thursday and Friday prior to the opening for the general public.
“The Start of Tomorrow. Mancomunitat of Catalonia: 100 years”
Dates: 8 April — 20 July
This exhibition took an in-depth look at the history of Catalonia.
“Big Bang Data”
Dates: 9 May — 16 November
This exhibition allowed us to share the technological sphere with the artistic sphere.
“World Press Photo. International Professional Journalism Exhibition”
Dates: 6 November — 8 December
Educational offering related with this exhibition and organised by Photographic Social Vision.
“Arissa. The Shadow and the Photographer 1922-1936”
Dates: 14 November 2014 — 12 April 2015
This exhibition allowed us to work in the artistic sphere.
Urban Itineraries
Dates: the entire academic year
These itineraries worked the social dimension of the city, the neighbourhoods and the people, in the sphere of the public space. Firstly,
four itineraries were organised, which were also offered at weekends for adults: El Raval: cosmopolitan territory. El Carmel and Nou Barris.
From the Right to Housing to the Right to a City; Besòs. From Frontier to Public Space; and Poblenou. The productive city (see details in
the Programme for Adults section). And, secondly, a specific itinerary for school groups: The Eixample. The Shape of the City.
Photography Workshop: The City of Photographers
Dates: the entire academic year
This workshop is a joint activity organised by MACBA and CCCB, within the framework of Photography in Course, an A Bao A Qu
programme. This edition worked on the social dimension of the city, the neighbourhoods and the people, in the sphere of the image.
85
CCCB Education
Teacher Training Programme
The relationship with teaching staff is an imperious need for the CCCB, which seeks
their complicity to produce the proposals that it subsequently offers them. The aim is
to find out their needs in order to provide them with tools for working with pupils.
Internet Universe
Dates: 5, 7, 12 and 14 February
A series of four sessions that offers a global view of the Internet and how it affects our lives at three impact levels: on the person,
on the city and on the planet.
Picto-writing Programme in Ciutat Vella
Dates: 19 and 26 November, 3 and 10 December
Teacher training programme in the fields of picto-writing hand in hand with designers and professional illustrators.
Programme for Adults
At weekends the educational programme was also addressed at a more general
public and included guided visits to the exhibitions and urban itineraries by foot,
by coach or by bike.
Guided tours of the Exhibitions
At the weekends admission to the exhibition allowed participation in a guided tour without any extra cost, on Sundays in Catalan and on
Saturdays in Spanish. Furthermore, visits were organised for groups of at least 20 people.
Itineraries Programme
The CCCB’s itineraries programme comprises a series of walks around different areas of the city that help us reflect on the questions that
the contemporary city is asking us today.
In 2014 the following urban itineraries were organised:
— Urban Itineraries on Foot
El Raval. Cosmopolitan Territory
Dates: 19 January, 30 March and 18 October
What was once the emptiest sector of walled Barcelona is today the most densely populated neighbourhood in the city. In this process
the Raval has been enriched, but it has never managed to free itself of the effects of marginalisation. How is it possible to favour a mixture
of uses, cultures and classes without excluding anyone?
El Poblenou. The Productive City
Dates: 9 February, 5 April and 25 October
The utopian socialism of Cerdà saw in Poblenou the possibility of a New Icaria. Pla 22@ is a testing bench for exploring the knowledge
society. De-industrialisation has filled it with abandoned factories and the collective memory of the workers and the cooperatives has
charged it with meanings. What must the city live on after de-industrialisation?
El Carmel and Nou Barris. From the Right to Housing to the Right to a City
Dates: 23 February, 26 April, 8 November
The need for a roof over people’s heads is more imperative than any urban planning regulation. The fight of the neighbourhoods
of El Carmel and Nou Barris to achieve dignified housing is full of lessons for tackling a challenge that is still all-too-pressing today:
how can we ensure that the city accommodates everyone?

Besòs. From Frontier to Public Space
Dates: 9 March
What was once a frontier between urban peripheries is now a nerve centre that transcends the municipal sphere and is helping to configure a new metropolitan city. Today the Besòs is a privileged space for interconnection within a context in which planning and urban vision
on a large scale have become fundamental.

La Sagrera - Sant Andreu - Sant Martí: Three Neighbourhoods Undergoing Transformation
Dates: 22 November
The La Sagrera area is the place where the largest urban transformation in the city of Barcelona is taking place, with the construction of
the great new railway station of Barcelona for the high-speed train and the incorporation of a linear park from the bridge on Bac de Roda
to the Trinitat interchange. The route leads around the sector first above it and then below it.
From Montgat to the Barceloneta. A Variety of Seafronts
Dates: 18 April
The stretch from Montgat to the river Besòs is marked by the alternation of consolidated urban fronts and industrial sectors situated right
along the coastline. Having crossed the Besòs, two urbanistic operations serve to date the transformation of Barcelona’s urban front:
the Forum and the Vila Olímpica. La Barceloneta, the city’s port and fishing district since the 18th century, is today adapting to the new
challenge presented by the advent of mass leisure and tourism.
El Llobregat The edges of the urban soil
Dates: 9 May
How to resolve the point where city meets nature? Along the last stretch of the Llobregat the capital question is raised of how to resolve
the point where the city meets nature. In this ambiguous territory where major infrastructures coexist with green spaces of great quality, a
growing sensitivity towards the edges of the urban soil can be sensed. Facilitating that people are acquainted with it, fond of it and defend
it is perhaps the best way to preserve it.

Organised by: CCCB with A Home in Progress Film and La Mandarina de Newton
The CCCB’s summer school constituted a journey through the galaxy of contemporary culture for explorers aged 6 to 12 years
and 13 to 16 years. For five weeks the Summer School worked on the lines developed in the exhibitions and programmes that the CCCB
presented over the course of 2015, and it does so through workshops, combined with other recreational activities that took place at different spaces within the CCCB. Every week a proposal is offered with an independent centre of interest but complementary with the rest.
The aim was to offer a creation laboratory with a large dose of experimentation and new formats, culture with a large dose of technology
to help us understand our present.

Raval Programme
CCCB Educació, in collaboration with other cultural organisations from the neighbourhood, is working to forge links between
schools in the Raval neighbourhood and our institutions.
During the year 2014, the following actions were carried out:
1. Free admission
Pupils from schools in the neighbourhood enjoyed free admission to guided tours of the exhibitions, the urban itineraries and educational
activities in general.
2. Programme of talks with secondary schools
With the collaboration of the Documentation and Debate Centre, the CCCB went out into the neighbourhood and programmed talks with
figures of international renown who discussed issues of current importance in the lives of young people and our society. In 2014 one
meet-up was organised with Kamila Shamsie (24 March) and another with Pankaj Mishra (7 October).
3. Picto-writing Programme in Ciutat Vella
In collaboration with the Libraries Network and the CCCB’s Education Service, VoxPrima has designed a programme addressing state
schools in the Ciutat Vella district in order for their pupils to have access to this creative learning technique in schools during the 20132014 and 2014-2015 academic years.
With the aim of significantly improving children’s written expression capabilities and serving as a stimulus for teaching staff by contributing
new focuses for working on writing, during 2014 four days of teacher training were held on the CCCB premises along with ten workshops
with pupils held at the CCCB premises and at libraries in the neighbourhood.
Work Experience at the CCCB
The CCCB has an agreement with the Casal dels Infants del Raval (Children’s and Youth Centre) that establishes work experience at the
CCCB’s Maintenance Service within the framework of the Initial Professional Qualification Programmes (PQPI). In addition, if students
show satisfactory performance on the work experience scheme, they have the chance of accessing a remunerated scholarship designed
exclusively for registration fees and educational material, with the aim of being able to continue with their formal training and gain initial
work experience. In 2014, there was a work experience pupil who was subsequently granted the remunerated scholarship.
Culturnauts Grants
From 30 June to 1 August, Culturnauts, the CCCB’s summer school was held. This space was designed to encourage the capacity for
exploring and discovering, to arouse the curiosity of each participant, an inclusive activity that honoured the CCCB’s responsibility of
offering a space where everyone can access training through a cultural experience. It took place thanks to a strong partnership with the
Fundació Pere Tarrés which, with over 50 years of experience, guaranteed the weekly organisation of the project and the educational and
social work with the participants. In addition, the Obra Social “La Caixa” awarded 35 grants to children and young people of the Raval
neighbourhood that allowed them to enjoy this activity, approved by Barcelona City Council, at affordable prices.

Bolaño Archive. 1977-2003

Production —
CCCB, with the participation

of Buenos Aires
Organisation —
CCCB, Centre Cultural Recoleta
and Government of the City
of Buenos Aires
A decade after his death and revolving around Bolaño’s known devotion to Argentine literature (he was a voracious reader of Roberto Arlt, but also of Macedonio Fernández, Jorge Luis Borges and
Julio Cortázar), the City of Buenos Aires wanted to be the first to
pay its own tribute to him by hosting the exhibition “Bolaño Archive. 1977-2003” at the Centro Cultural Recoleta. The exhibition
received a spectacular reception in the Argentinian press and on
the social networks.
“Bolaño Archive” was the result of collaboration between the
CCCB and the heirs of Bolaño. Beyond the thematic focus, the
innovative museographic elements and other aspects, the strong
point of the exhibition is the presentation of previously unpublished material from the archives of Roberto Bolaño: novels, short
stories, poems, various texts and exercise books, correspondence,
family photographs, magazines and fanzines, his personal library,
a plethora of interviews, strategy board games and other valuable
materials, that provide a greater comprehension of the creative universe of Bolaño and contribute to a freer and more prolific interpretation of his work.
After the presentation of the exhibition at the CCCB and in
Buenos Aires, it is planned for it to be presented at the Casa del
Lector in Madrid from 10 February to 20 July 2015.

In Paris
14 October 2013 — 26 January 2014
“Pasolini Rome” is an eminently collective project conceived from
the outset to tour to four major European capitals. The work of the
four centres as a network takes an in-depth look at this capital figure of the 20TH century and has strata of views according to the
speciality of the centre hosting the exhibition. Thus it is possible to
evaluate with greater transversality the legacy of Pier Paolo Pasolini
for the European culture of the 21st century.
At the Cinémathèque française in Paris, the exhibition, which
offers a close view of Pasolini throughout a multiple and thrilling
life in permanent tension, the life of a creator and fighter on all
fronts, was accompanied by an extensive programme of parallel
activities; a complete retrospective on Pasolini the filmmaker,
staged readings and performances of his poetry and theatrical
texts, and study sessions on one of the most important European
intellectuals of the last century. Participants intervening included Serge Toubiana, Alain Bergala, Jordi Balló, Bernard Benoliel,
Stéphane Bouquet, René de Ceccatty, Hervé Joubert-Laurencin,
Georges Didi-Huberman, Dacia Maraini, Roberto Chiesi and
Ninetto Davoli, among others.
With this presentation, the Cinémathèque made a great impact
in the media and achieved a notable attendance by the public, with
close to 42,000 visitors. The Cinémathèque also created, with the
collaboration of the rest of its co-producers, a joint online platform
(http://www.pasoliniroma.com and http://blog.pasoliniroma.com)
which has attracted over 30,500 virtual visits.

In no other place could showing the “Pasolini Roma” acquire more
meaning than in the city to which it is dedicated. Perhaps because
of this, and the fact that the exhibition was accompanied by an
extensive programme of meetings with witnesses, experts and intellectuals; by a retrospective of films; and by a long list of events
for discovering the close relationship Pasolini had with music, the
project was visited by 70,000 visitors.
For Pasolini, Rome was not just a stage set or a simple place
of residence. Rome had a physical, carnal and passionate existence,
as much for the man as for the writer, the poet and the filmmaker.
His encounter with Rome was for the author like a great love story,
with all its disappointments, its betrayals and its mixed feelings of

passion and hatred, phases of attraction and phases of rejection, of
distancing and return. The difficult circumstances of his arrival in
Rome catapulted him into a world and a language that were not his
own: the precarious state of his finances forced him to live in the
world of the sub-proletariat of the periphery. From the discovery of
this new universe, a powerful inspiration was born from which he
found the theme of his first novels and films. Later, for Pasolini, the
public man, for the tireless analyst of Italian society, Rome became
the main point of observation, his permanent field of study, of reflection, of action and of persecution.

“Pasolini Rome” lastly was presented at the Martin Gropius Bau
in Berlin where the exhibition highlighted an extremely lucid Pier
Paolo Pasolini who was awkward for Italy, who did not hesitate to
use the languages necessary at any given time, to explore them and
make them his own in order to commit, above all, to life. Using poetry, novel and film, he revolutionised the social and political conventions of his time, questioning both the middle-class sphere and
the conventional left. The exhibition was the discovery of a Rome
that was distanced from monumentality to stress its marginal ways
of life, with which Pasolini identified in that he felt marginal himself
because of his condition as a poet, a homosexual and a communist.
There is a new Rome after Pasolini, as well as a new way of looking
at his time and facing it.
To accompany the exhibition different sessions and seminars
were organised with different personalities from the German and
Italian cultural arenas, who rediscovered some of the aspects of the
exhibition and of the extensive work of Pasolini as a thinker and
impassioned artist: Moshe Kahn, Ijoma Mangold, Dacia Maraini,
Maike Albath, Dorothea Dieckmann and Walter Siti, Peter Kammerer, Mario Fortunato, Peter Schneider, Andrea Bajani, Agnese
Grieco, Peter von Becker, Volker Schlöndorff, Hans Ulrich Reck
and Ulrich Gregor, among others. The Arsenal–Institute for Film
and Video Art organised the retrospective in Berlin.

Madrid
2 October 2014 — 11 January 2015
For nearly ten years the CCCB has been collaborating with La Casa
Encendida on projects where cinema of resistance against narrative
conventions takes on a specific importance.
On this occasion the CCCB and La Casa Encendida co-produced the exhibition “Metamorphosis. Fantasy Visions in Starewitch, Švankmajer and the Quay Brothers” which presented the
work of four essential figures in animated film – little known by the
general public, but who have been and are enormously influential
and are reference points in various spheres of contemporary creation: Ladislas Starewitch (1882-1965), Jan Švankmajer (1934) and
the classification-defying Quay Twins (1947).
The “Metamorphosis” experience, the exhibition and the parallel activities programmed in both Barcelona and Madrid, rediscovered this group of artists that, due to their radical nature, their
imagination and their own positioning, it is pertinent to re-read in
the framework of the cultural present and contextualise their subversive potential.
Accompanying the exhibition at La Casa Encendida (which has
been visited by over 121,800 visitors), screenings were programmed
of the films of Ladislas Starewitch in the company of the animals
that star in them at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales; and
an exhibition at the Museo Lázaro Galdiano, a selection of the jewels from his permanent collection in relation with the creative universe of Jan Švankmajer.

Athens hosted a retrospective exhibition on the thirteen works that
were winners over the course of the seven first editions of the European Prize for Urban Public Space (2000-2012). Examples of good
practices originating from Mollet del Vallès, Dublin, Zuera, Leipzig,
Terol, Begues, Zaanstadt, Zadar, London, Magdeburg, Oslo, Ljubljana and Barcelona were shown at the Arsakeion Buildings in the
Greek capital, within the framework of a broader exhibition titled
“Rethinking Athens: Towards a New Urban Centre”.
Organised by the Onassis Foundation – a private, non-profit
organisation – together with a series of public institutions such as
Athens City Council and various ministries of the Greek Government, the exhibition occupied, over all, nineteen commercial premises in this former shopping arcade that, despite a privileged location on Panepistimiou Street, was forced to close its doors due to
the economic decline of recent years and the progressive decadence
of the urban centre.
In Caen
The exhibition on the European Prize for Urban Public Space 2012
was presented in Caen, in the north of France. It was hosted at the Pavillon de Normandie, an old industrial building situated on the banks
of the Basin Saint-Pierre and that the City Council Caen acquired to
convert it into a space for reflection and debate on the city. The capital of Lower Normandy was at that time facing an ambitious urban
transformation that is now underway and affects the old factory area
of La Presqu’île. This stretch of earth that reaches the Atlantic and

The pavilion, which occupies the end of La Presqu’île closest

point of this transformation, the place where citizens can heighten
their awareness and debate its effects on the social and economic
future of the city.

Seven Lessons from the European
Prize For Urban Public Space
In New York
27 March — 21 June
The European Prize for Urban Public Space was presented for the
first time in the United States. The Center for Architecture in New
York hosted “Polis”, the retrospective exhibition of the first seven
editions of the Prize (2000-2012).
This centre, the New York branch of the American Institute of
Architects (AIA) and of the Center for Architecture Foundation, is
located near to the park at Washington Square. The space opened its
doors in 2003 and since then its efforts to disseminate the qualities
of the architecture and urban fabric of New York have made it a
cultural reference point for the city.
The Centre for Architecture hosted a retrospective of the 35
winning works over the course of the first seven editions of the
Prize. Far beyond limiting itself to giving an account of the results
of the competition, the exhibition placed emphasis on the lessons
that can be learned from them.
For this reason, the works exhibited were grouped under seven
headings that emerged in an empirical fashion: Periphery, Complexity, Voids, Water, Mobility, Memory and Democracy. All of
these confirm the social and political dimension that impregnates
the city and that is so well reflected in the Greek term polis, which
was also the name of the exhibition.

“Shared Cities” is the exhibition of works that were recognised as
winners, special mentions and finalists in the eighth edition of the
European Prize for Urban Public Space 2014.
Its European trek started in Bordeaux, in the French Atlantic
zone. The city itself has experienced a major urban transformation
in recent decades, making it the ideal witness for hosting the exhibition of the prize.
The exhibition was presented at the City Council Salons within
the framework of “Agora 2014. Biennale d’architecture d’urbanisme
et de design“. Making manifest the desire to accompany the new
character of the town culturally, this space was created to bring urban
planning and architecture to the general public through activities in
different disciplines (film, literature, photography, etc.) which open
the way toward reflection and debate on European urban space.

After stopping off at Bordeaux, the exhibition was presented in
Szczecin, the largest port city in Poland. The exhibition was framed
within the context of the eighth edition of Westival, the international
architecture competition celebrated this year’s edition under the title
“City, a Public Thing”. Through conferences, debates, workshops and
exhibitions on urban spaces of Szczecin and of other Polish and European cities, the festival aimed to investigate the role played by the
city in our lives, especially from 1989 onwards. It asks how the public
spaces of different cities and cultures are conceived and experienced,
and how space should be to best encourage coexistence.
The exhibition was presented at the Philharmonic by Judit Carrera, director of the European Prize for Urban Public Space; Michel
Devigne, one of the winners of the 2014 prize for the reform of the
Vieux-Port in Marseille; and Francis Rambert, Director of the Cité de
l’architecture et du patrimoine in Paris and member of the Prize jury.

The CCCB Archive is the digital and multimedia collection that
contains all the CCCB’s past material and makes it accessible to the
public with a broad variety of resources on key issues in contemporary culture and society, from the first exhibitions to the most
recent debates and festivals.
Currently, visitors to the CCCB Archive can consult over 10,000
multimedia references (recordings of lectures; performances, recitals and concerts; in-house audiovisuals; photographs; information
on activities and their participating authors, curators and speakers),
which represent 100% of the historical holdings of the CCCB, and
to which all the materials generated by its programming are gradually incorporated.
In addition to its aim of communication, the Archive also has the
vocation of being a space for recording the CCCB’s history, and an area
for all visitors offering an area for reception, reading and relaxation.

Public Space is the CCCB’s portal on city and public space. Structured around the European prize for Urban Public Space, it offers
information on the projects presented, texts by authoritative authors, and all the news on the debates, exhibitions and festivals with
an urban theme. Currently, the website contains details of around
450 interventions in the public space featuring over 300 cities.
Thanks to the Europe City Project, which enjoys the support of
funds from the European Union’s Culture Programme (2007-2013),
the project has started to explore, interpret and evaluate in depth
all of this legacy accumulated over nearly 14 years. Thus, the Prize’s
website aims to continue expanding its contents, extend its network
of complicities and become consolidated as one of the reference
websites in urban themes.

CCCB
The CCCB’s archive of art-house cinema
In 2014 the archive became part of the exhibition “Metamorphosis”
and served as a space for viewing the films by those filmmakers cited
in the exhibition. During the 2013-2014 academic year, the Archive’s
guest audiovisual project was ”El video del minut: un espai propi, un film
col·lectiu” [The One-Minute Video: an own space, a collective film]. Until 2 October it was possible to view a selection of films made by women,
lasting one minute in duration and in a single shot, made by Virginia
García del Pino (filmmaker) and Elena Oroz (researcher and teacher).
During the second half of the year, educational activities were carried out such as workshops and special presentations of the new incorporations. As a new feature, guided visits for groups were offered, and
together with the CCCB’s Education Service, itineraries were prepared
for the archive’s contents and other educational materials aimed at a
teenage audience. And, through the Drac Màgic collective, for the first
time the Archive received visits from school groups. The Xcèntric Archive opens from Tuesday to Sunday, from 11.00 to 20.00, on Floor -1
of the CCCB and admission is free of charge. Furthermore, it proposes
a service for groups with a guided tour of the contents of the archive
subject to prior booking at xcentric@cccb.org. The list of films can be
consulted at http://www.cccb.org/ca/llistat_arxiu_xcentric.

Observatory Archives
The Unidentified Frame Observatory Archives are of an intentional
and thematic nature: the aim is to facilitate a critique of contemporary culture using different strategies (video art, independent documentary and mass media archaeology). The Archives contain an
entire constellation of disparate works, the common denominator
of which is their free expression and reflection on individual and
collective fears and pleasures. Together they build up a view with
numerous facets, of thousands of tiny eyes that explore our world in
depth, or announce other possible worlds; a discourse whose main
values are heterogeneity, contradiction and subjectivity, and that
aims to be a salutary lesson against the cloning and repetition of the
corporate mass media.

Sound Art Archive
Sonoscop is the permanent collaboration project between Orquestra del Caos and the CCCB. Its aim is the creation of a multimedia archive of experimental music and sound art accessible to
the public, whether through physical presence, or through other
forms of electronically-derived presence, such as the web. The total
number of sound archives now exceeds one thousand but, furthermore, the archive includes catalogues, hand programmes, publications on paper, audiovisual material and CD-ROMs.

Fantasy Visions in Starewitch, Švankmajer and the Quay Brothers
Anonymise Yourself
Electronic Self-Defence Handbook
Presentation and journey through the work and references of filmmakers Ladislas Starewitch, Jan Švankmajer and the Brothers Quay,
to trace the lines of intersection and convergence between their imaginaries. Although these are three very personal universes of great
richness and multiple nuances, they often share an atmosphere or
reference points or sinister, surreal, humorous poetics in which the
fairy tale coexists with the cabinet of curiosities, Renaissance science,
magical illusions and a certain intellectual, aesthetic and literary legacy originating from the Eastern Europe of the early 20TH century.
Within the context of the “Big Bang Data” exhibition, Anonymise
Yourself. Electronic Self-Defence Handbook, offers a set of recommendations, tools and practices to preserve privacy in the PostSnowden world.

The Start of Tomorrow
On 6 April 1914 and presided over by Enric Prat de la Riba, the
Mancomunitat de Catalunya constituted a political project that
consisted of associating the four provincial councils (diputacions)
of Catalonia. Despite having no own resources beyond the budgets
of the provincial councils, the Mancomunitat carried out impressive work and was capable of creating and transforming the country. It acted over the course of a decade with great energy to create
solid tools for connectivity and growth in Catalonia.
Arissa
The Shadow and the Photographer 1922-1936
In the work of photographer Antoni Arissa Asmarats (Barcelona,
1900-1980), one of the most important figures in the photographic
avant-garde, we find a clear and explicit artistic ambition. For him,
photography is not just a way of reflecting and documenting reality,
but the possibility of delving deeper into his creative dimension. His
artistic ambitious, the constant searching and experimentation, situate his work in the pictorialism of the first era, to evolve later towards
the New Vision, undoubtedly his most modern and important phase.

427.804 visitors
Visiting audiences increased over 2014, growing by 36% in
comparison with 2013. With a total of 427,804 visitors in 2014, the
CCCB hit its all-time record for the number of visits in a single year,
beating the 2001 total figure of 426,617 visitors.
This increase is the product of various factors:
The main reason is the success of some of the exhibitions presented during the course of 2014. Both “Big Bang Data” and “Metamorphosis” can be considered two hits with critics and the public alike.
Moreover, “Big Bang Data”, with 62,780 visitors, was the fourth
most-visited exhibition in the 20 years of existence of the CCCB.
Also evident is an increase in spectators at the Centre’s activities,
with numbers growing from 88,760 in 2013 to 134,645 in 2014.
Visits to the Mirador (15,374 visitors), Món llibre (24,486 visitors)
and Brunch Electronika Barcelona (10,430 visitors) have contributed to this increase.
Another reason should be sought in the increase in activity undertaken to commemorate the CCCB’s 20th anniversary. Throughout
the year 2014 a series of actions were organised, some with public
in attendance and others as virtual events. The events with attendance represented alone a total of 91,685 people, accounting for
21% of total visitors to the CCCB during 2014.
Finally, it should be mentioned that during 2013, the Centre’s
exhibitions remained closed during October due to the escalators
being replaced, representing a loss of 20,000 visitors with respect
to this year.
It is also necessary to take into account that, during 2014, a
campaign ran to attract Friends of the CCCB from among people
who were born, like the Centre, in 1994. The number of new
Friends reached 1,050, out of an overall total of 1,900 Friends of
the CCCB.

The exhibitions “Metamorphosis” and “Big Bang Data” attracted a
large audience during the months of August, July and September,
whereas there is usually a fall in numbers of visitors to the CCCB
during the summer months. Around 44% of visitors to “Metamorphosis” were tourists.
With both exhibitions, furthermore, word of mouth proved very
successful. Between 20% and 22% of visitors chose to go to the
CCCB because someone else recommended it to them.

“Bolaño Archive”, Centro Cultural Recoleta (Buenos Aires), 60,000
visitors
Virtual Audience
For some time now the audiences of cultural centres have no
longer been limited to people who actually visit the facilities. Growing in importance is the so-called virtual audience: visitors who do
not physically visit the Centre but who, via the Internet, take part in
its activities.
When we talk about the virtual audience we are referring to a very
diverse group, which uses different online channels to relate with
cultural centres. In the case of the CCCB, these channels include
the Centre’s websites and blogs, its social networks and the online
projects created for specific activities.
It is important to understand the relationship established
between the public and the CCCB, and what visitors to our online
windows are seeking. Thus, the access channel is as important
as the contents accessed and the participation dynamics generated. Accordingly, we can distinguish three major CCCB virtual
audience categories according to visitor behaviour: those
who receive information, those who consult contents
and those who actively participate.
