Barcelona
I spend the last four days in Barcelona – I actually timed it to arrive there just after Sonar, but whatever – musical highlights was of a different sort.
To my great luck I spend some time on the balcony of my friend Xavi’s house, and an upstairs neighbour generously shared wonderful jazz records out his windows for me to enjoy while smoking cigarets and drinking canned beer.
Yesterday I went to Fundacio Joan Miro. I am not a big fan of the artist, but the museum was more or less in the backyard of aforementioned Xavi’s place in Poble Sec. I decided to block out the noise from the other visitors with my iPod and The wonderful dou of Ken Vandermark and Paal Nilsson-Love called Dual Pleasures 2. It was a great idea and one I will remember for future museum visits as I always skip the audio tour option anyway.
The permanent exhibition was what it was – I mean you can’t blame the guy for inconsistancy, but the highlight was the temporary exhibition showing the poetry and art juxtapositions between art writer and poet Jacques Dupin and among others Joan Miro.
