LIMEN. THE ART CENTRE AS A TOTAL INSTITUTION
From 2nd December 2011 to 31st December 2011
Exhibition of photomontages by Andrea Corachán Camús
A project by Grup d’Etnografia dels Espais Públics de l’lnstitut Català d’Antropologia curated by Manuel Delgado and Andrea Corachán Camús.
A project inviting reflection on possible analogies between large containers of urban art and culture, museums, cultural centres and total institutions ... spaces of confinement and maintenance of people subjected to constant scrutiny: prisons, psychiatric centres, barracks, hospitals, cemeteries, convents, factories ... The proposal combines a series of round tables, to discuss the relationship between these two types of internment facilities, with the exhibition of a series of photomontages, which will be displayed simultaneously in the lobbies of several art centres in Catalonia.
