Miralda
Praise the great dimensions of a concrete art
Antoni Miralda (1942), trained in Terrassa, Paris, London, New York and Massachusetts, bursts into Paris in the late sixties and participates in the reaction to informalism with a creative proposal that, despite its obvious coincidences with Pop Art , redefines the scope and subverts it with a critical load supported by a totally caustic and devastating irony.
Integrating, with Benet Rossell, Rabascall and Joan Xifra, of the so-called 'Paris Catalans', Antoni Miralda is mainly a generator of events that through the use of resources from advertising, video, popular ethnography or gastronomy, It relates ancestral cultures to contemporary cosmopolitanism.
The exhibition brings together a series of documentation, original posters and objects related to several of the creative processes that Miralda has developed over the years; from the Honeymoon project, based on a virtual marriage between the statue of the Liberty of New York and the monument to Christopher Columbus, from Barcelona, to the latest Food Culture Museum, where the artist experiences edible art and the gastronomic culture
