Barcelona | 14/05/2009 - 19/04/2009 Rabascall. Production 1964-1982

Exhibition presenting a selection of 150 works by the Barcelona-born artist Joan Rabascall (b. 1935) from the beginning of the 1960s until the early 1980s, an era in which the use and manipulation of images from the mass media constructs a discourse that is openly critical of the mechanisms, messages and platitudes these media impose. Far from a retrospective, the show focuses on a key period of Rabascall’s oeuvre, aiming to decipher the central core of his concerns: the omnipresence of communication, the implementation of language by the powers that be, the stereotyping of women's image as a sexual object, the growing militarisation of society, the incessant transforming effects of tourism, and the progressive computerisation of forms of knowledge. The exhibition opens with a collage on wood dated 1964 and entitled ‘La fragilité des apparences’, in which Rabascall criticises the construction of the stereotype of women's image being used as a sexual ! object of desire under the masculine gaze. The chronological spectrum of the exhibition concludes with the series of photographic emulsions on canvas ‘Paisatges Costa Brava’ (1982), highlighting the transformation of landscapes and culture brought about by tourism on the Catalan coasts.
