The second edition of the Fundació Suñol's "Camins encontrats" analyses and explores the context of different periods of Antoni Miralda's work
The Fundació Suñol presents the second show of Camins encontrats, a project that aims at exploring the scope of the exhibition system and its aspects on the analysis of works of art, their exhibition, the processes that surround them, the author and the art collection they belong to, while offering the audience the maximum aesthetic and intellectual pleasure experiencing art.
The project began on 2016 with the exhibition of two works by Joan Rabascall. This year, we propose the display of two pieces by Antoni Miralda (Terrassa, 1942) that were created in different contexts. Camins encontrats aims at emphasizing on the potential of the exhibition means and that is why this show is conceived as a lab where the relationships and active components of the artistic activity can be handled and tested.
Antoni Miralda
- Artist
1942, Terrassa, Spain
Miralda lives in Paris since the 60s. His anti-militarist first compositions, known as Soldats Soldés (1967-72), have been known as ‘assemblages’ evolving from the accumulation of plastic white toy soldiers. Living in NY in the 70s and 90s, his works centered on public space and the edible, with project such as; Wheat & Steak (Kansas City, 1981), Santa Comida, (Nova York, Miami, París, 1984-89), and the development together with Montse Guillén of the restaurant El Internacional in Tribeca (Nova York, 1984-1986). In the mid-90s, evolving from the concept of food as culture, he creted FoodCulturaMuseum, a project which has travelled, evolved and taken different shapes and forms, such as; Food Pavilion for the 2000 Hannover Expo; Power Food and Sabores y Lenguas (Caracas, Lima, Mèxic, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Xangai). In 2010, he had his extensive retrospective, De gustibus non disputandum, at the Reina Sofía Museum, and in late 2016 he will present at MACBA his recent American works. He currently lives between Barcelona and Miami.
