Visit to CaixaForum

 

“PODEM FER REAL EL QUE ÉS FANTÀSTIC, I ALESHORES ÉS MÉS

REAL QUE EL QUE EXISTEIX DE DEBÒ.” 

SALVADOR DALÍ

Before visiting the two expositions in CaixaForum, I entered the official website with

the main objective of having some ideas about what I will learn and feel during the

museum visit. As we can see above this, there is Salvador Dali's sentence that

caught my attention a lot. With this, I wondered if we really know our reality, or

what is real or not. So, I expected to answer this reflection on the expositions.

Afterwhile, We go into the sensation of being beyond reality. Firstly, a woman

explained to us the distribution of this exposition and some history to understand

in a better way the several rooms.  The exhibition explores the interchange

between surrealism and design, juxtaposing works of surrealist art and design

fish and highlights of the last centuries. With the different objects and furniture

designs, I could have a better inspiration for the first individual drawing called

Hybrid object.  This exposition was divided into 4 rooms.

It also includes paintings, sculptures, collectibles, posters, magazines, books, and

photographs, as well as historical films which now I will attach some of them,

specifically, these ones which I found very interesting.

Talking about the other exhibition, I'd awaited so different things that the surrealism's one. After reading the introduction on the official website, I thought that this one could be interesting to face the current problems that society has. This is to say, I expected that the main objective of this room is to make people be more conscious about what is happening around them.

In addition, it is important to mention that I thought that this exhibition was more unliked with the typical 'conception' that we have about art.

As I have done before, I will expose the most interesting image that I really found.

As a final conclusion about this visit, I can point out that this visit has completely exceeded my expectations. It is true that I liked more the first one due to my passion for surrealism word. Since I studied in high school in the surrealism period I really follow this tendency through reading, watching videos, etc. And honestly, with this exhibition, my passion has grown up. Also, it has been a jump to another reality, making fantasy and enjoying a lot.
