Art proposals of Poblenou Open Day

For the Poblenou Open Day we propose a programme where Art is the protagonist, and in the Creative District there are a lot of spaces dedicated to this cultural sector so characteristic in our community.

If you are one of those people who are looking for activities dedicated to Art, this is the article for you to take into account so that you can make the best tour in Poblenou Open Day.

Coinciding with Windows Art Circuit / WAC, Pobenou Urban District organizes a program dedicated to Art with interventions of mural art by emerging artists and a collective exhibition of various disciplines as a central axis.

El Solar

In “El Solar”, located at c/pujades 64-66, there will be mural interventions by different artists selected in the WAC call, experimenting and trying out new techniques and materials. All this mural proposal will coexist with DJ’s sessions, theatre, stencil workshops, augmented reality, gastronomy, sale of emerging art, creating an interdisciplinary event in one of the most emblematic plots of land in Poblenou.

From 12h to 20h

In the same line, in “La Fachada” in Àvila with Pujades, will be another space where you can enjoy live large-format mural art interventions by a group of different artists throughout the day, activity framed in Windows Art Circuit / WAC and produced by Poblenou Urban District.

From 12h to 20h

BAU

The new BAU space, located at Ciutat de Granada 34, will become a cultural Hub where different activities will coexist. On the one hand, a group exhibition of the artists participating in this year’s edition of Windows Art Circuit / WAC, as well as previous editions with a point of sale of art with their latest works. Also scheduled is a talk by designer David Ruiz who will present his book *Irse, with creativity as a background and a lecture by Giles Pooley and Mike van der Noordt, founding partners of LuzidLab, presenting the CANVAS DIGITAL project; an augmented reality platform that allows artists to create digital art of all types and scales and project it in any urban space.

After the guided tour of the permanent exhibition, adults and children will put their discoveries into practice by creating their own work.

Interested in the balance between the exterior and the interior, he arranges the space and the figures it contains. His work, influenced by surrealism, is a mirror of the psyche and the unconscious, expressed in an infinite number of forms and tones.
