PARALLEL ACTION: FIRST VISIT TO THE NATIONAL ART MUSEUM OF CATALONIA

A series of activities and cultural visits enabled the group to focus on, contextualise and develop the work that David Bestué was doing within the context of his residency at Institut Secretari Coloma.

First visit to the National Art Museum of Catalonia (22/10/2013). The aim is to explore the museum from within. Besides visiting the modern art collection and the temporary exhibition Tàpies des de l'interior [Tàpies from the Inside], the group tours the offices and one of the reserve storage rooms at the museum.
