This exhibition explained how and why a new area for shows and entertainment emerged in the city of Barcelona, and everything that happened there during a period of over forty years. The Paral·lel Avenue was the home of a cultural offering that was genuine and unique in Europe due to its size and singularity. It hosted a wealth of manifestations of popular and mass culture, the result of historical circumstances that transformed the social, economic and political landscape and established the city of Barcelona’s footing in modernity, with all its contradictions. What happened on the Paral·lel between the end of the 19th century and 22 January 1939 – the day on which all the theatres of Barcelona closed, at the end of the war – is similar to the case of Montmartre in Paris or Broadway in New York, but it should be emphasised that it is a unique case worldwide. Unlike these and other international examples, the Paral·lel was an environment of popular hegemony that, from its birth, became a genuine cultural expression of the social and political conflict that characterised the Barcelona of the first half of the 20th century and that generated shows with contents and formats that were perfectly differentiated, put together by the public and by the artists. Produced in the manner of a stage-set, the exhibition showed photographs, audiovisual materials, recovered sound documents, books, leaflets, magazines, programmes, posters, scores, atrezzo, costumes and diverse props. The plastic arts were a fundamental part of the exhibition, and among other artists, the following were featured: Isidre Nonell, Ricard Opisso, Pablo Picasso, Francesc Domingo, Ricard Canals, Ricard Urgell, Rafael Barradas, Emili Bosch, Ismael Smith, Jaume Pasarell, Josep Brangulí and Gabriel Casas.

Coinciding with the sixth biennial edition of Kosmopolis, the exhibition “Bolaño Archive, 1977-2003” was presented, as a tribute to the Chilean writer on the tenth anniversary of his death. The project was conceived based around three thematic focal points that express some of the keys of the creative universe of the author of The Savage Detectives. The first defined a specific geography by way of three localities, where Roberto Bolaño created nearly all of his work, the second presented his creative chronology and the third recreated an existential landscape. The exhibition route took as a base these thematic cores and developed them through a prologue, an essential reference to the years he lived in Mexico, and three precise phases: The Unknown University (Barcelona 1977-1980), Inside the Kaleidoscope (Girona 1981-1985) and The Visitor from the Future (Blanes 19852003). The route was completed with an epilogue or coda that analysed Bolaño’s influence on the literature of the 21st century. The visit to the exhibition was conceived as a detective-style investigation. The reader-visitor was a sleuth subjected to a series of tests and games, not lacking in humour and irony. In the formalisation of the itinerary, preference was given to the kaleidoscope metaphor, to which the author himself referred in different passages of his books. However, the exhibition’s singularity was constituted by the presentation of previously unseen material from the Archive of the Heirs of Roberto Bolaño: novels, tales, poems and various writings, booklets and exercise books, correspondence, family photographs, magazines and fanzines, his personal library, all the interviews, strategy games and other valuable materials that allowed a more in-depth acquaintance with the creative universe of Bolaño and an increasingly free and fertile reading of his work.

The exhibition “Pasolini Rome” offered a close-up look at the Italian writer and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) through his relations with Rome. And this close-up meant entering fully into everything that constituted and defined Pasolini: poetry, politics, civil commitment, sex, friendship, film. The exhibition was structured into six chronological sections that corresponded to the six vital and creative phases of Pasolini. It began with his arrival in Rome on 28 January 1950 and closed on 2 November 1975, when his lifeless body was found near to Ostia. Rome was not just a stage set or a simple place of residence for Pasolini, but it also represented a true physical, carnal and passionate existence. His encounter with Rome was for the author like a great love story, with all its disappointments, its traditions and its mixed feelings of passion and hatred, phases of attraction and phases of rejection, of distancing and return. For Pasolini the polemicist, the analyst of the evolution of Italian society, Rome constituted his main space for observation, his permanent field of study, reflection and battle. It was based on the transformations of this city that he so loved, that he analysed the changes of the Italy and the Italians of the 1960s and 1970s. There is a Rome before and a Rome after Pasolini. His texts and his films created a new imaginary of the city of Rome. It was not enough for Pasolini to integrate the city as a backdrop to his novels and his films, but rather he “re-founded” Rome through literature and film. As the great creator that he was, he conceived a new myth of this Vatican and political city, of its neighbourhoods and its inhabitants. “Pasolini Rome” was the result of a co-production between four European cultural institutions and the project was selected, evaluated and financed by the European Commission due to its significance in terms of the European, transnational and current nature of the work of Pasolini and of the project in itself. After the CCCB, it was scheduled to be presented at La Cinémathèque Française in Paris (16 October 2013 - 26 January 2014), at the Azienda Palaexpo-Palazzo Delle Esposizione de Roma (15 April– 20 July 2014) and at the Martin Gropius Bau in Berlin (11 September 2014 - early January 2015).

The year 2013 marked the commemoration of 100 years since the birth of Salvador Espriu (1913-1985). The CCCB, in collaboration with the Catalan Government’s Department of Culture, organised one of the central events of Espriu Year: the exhibition “Espriu. I Looked Upon This Land”, which offered the public an approach to the creative career and life history of the writer, to show not only the capital importance of his figure for Catalan culture, but also the complexity and richness of Espriu’s work which transcends any labels and thus establishes it under the heading of timeless classics. The exhibition developed different aspects of his biography, of his literary world and of the public repercussions of his work. It also defended the currency of the writer, and the validity of his themes and viewpoints in the world today, based on the triple perspective that the exhibition proposed: the mythical and symbolical world, social transcendence and indomitable criticism. A poet, narrator and playwright, Espriu asks himself about the great human questions. The exhibition evoked the myth of Sinera; ethical commitment when faced with the Civil War and the postwar years; the defence of Catalan culture in difficult times; the Espriu phenomenon, when he became an indispensable reference point in Spanish Culture; his vision of the “bull’s hide” based on dialogue and tolerance; his candidature for the Nobel Prize, and his imaginary world – sometimes grotesque, sometimes evocative, but always of an extraordinary power. The exhibition presented a great quantity of unpublished materials originating from archives and private collections. The last part of the exhibition recreates one of Espriu’s fundamental ideas: the world as a grotesque labyrinth, based on a gallery of characters that inhabit his narrative, his poetry and his theatre, presented
in animations produced by young creators. The characters of this gallery were integrated into an animated tale, of surprising currency, allowing the visitor unfamiliar with the Espriu universe to enter it from a new perspective. “‘I Looked Upon This Land’” takes us to Espriu’s way of looking at his land and his world: sometimes critical and wildly amusing, but also understanding and full of compassion towards human weaknesses.” (Julià Guillamon).

As every other year, the prize-winning images informed us, moved us and questioned us, converting “World Press Photo” into an unmissable appointment for any citizen wishing to be better informed.

The Cinema of the CCCB January — June
Beginning in the last quarter of 2012, the twelfth season of Xcèntric was inaugurated with two sessions devoted to Antoni Padrós, and it presented the series “Museum Cinema”, which began with two sessions based on the film collection of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Once into 2013, and continuing with Xcèntric’s interest in the introduction of film into museum halls, the second part of the series “Museum Cinema” was held, with Carles Guerra, head curator of the MACBA, presenting the programme that he himself prepared to raise awareness of this museum’s collection. The month of January was devoted to the festival “Collage exquisit”, four days of film and scissors with screenings of classic authors of collage such as Larry Jordan, Robert Breer and Stan Vanderbeek, along with new talents, audiovisual performances and animated collage workshops. During the following months works were screened by authors such as Kenneth Anger, Paolo Gioli, Luc Moullet, Bruce Nauman, Jef Cornelis, Samuel Beckett, John Baldessari, Laida Lertxundi, Hollis Frampton, Bruce Baillie, Morgan Fisher, Nathaniel Dorsky, Harun Farocki, Emile de Antonio, Stan Brakhage, Robert Beavers, Gregory Markopoulos, Warren Sonbert, Stephen Dwoskin, Shirley Clarke, Peter Whitehead, Thom Andersen, Pat O’Neill, Robert Frank, Abel Gance and Craig Baldwin, among many others. There were also premieres of films by young authors from our area, such as Víctor Iriarte, Elías León Siminiani and Jorge Tur.
In addition to the usual collaborators – Gonzalo de Lucas, Celeste Araújo and Oriol Sánchez – the season also boasted the collaboration of recognised international programmers such as Marc Webber (United Kingdom), João Laia (Portugal), Andrey Shental (Russia) and Philippe-Alain Michaud (France), who, together with Carles Guerra, brought diversity and international projection to the programme.

The CCCB’s TV Programme monthly programme broadcast by TVE’s La 2
In 2013 Soy Cámara celebrated four seasons on TVE’s La 2, three years of ongoing work that have made the programme a reference point in cultural television today. In 2013, eight programmes were broadcast with a total of 819,000 spectators. The programme has a patchwork structure with a friendly and intelligible approach, built based on a large quantity of voices and audiovisual fragments, originating from archives from all eras, textures and genres. There is no presenter or voiceover narrator, and the title varies with each episode, as does the typography, style and thread of the programme, which to date has had the collaboration of twenty-five different directors and scriptwriters: Andrés Hispano, Félix Pérez-Hita, Juan Insua, Oscar Pérez, Juan Carlos Rodríguez, José Antonio Soria, Cristina Giribets, Luis Cerveró, Juan Bufill, Mariona Omedes, Virginie Manuel, Toni Curcó, Rory Lambert, CCCB Alzheimer Programme, Silvia Omedes, Helena Velez, Jordi Calafell, David Bravo, Judit Carrera, Elisabet Goula, Jorge Luis Marzo, Arturo “Fito” Rodríguez, Ingrid Guardiola, Miguel Ángel Blanca and Joan Carreras. Soy Cámara usually raises more questions than answers, as it seems more opportune to offer open reflections and explore voids than to give categorical and forceful answers.

On 27 March, the screening of Notre Poison quotidien (Our Daily Poison) gave rise to a debate on whether consumers know what they eat and whether they are really protected by the food health and safety agencies. From 24 to 26 March, within the context of the 21st edition of the International Exhibition of Women’s Films of Barcelona, the session “After the Conflict” presented three documentaries directed by women on social conflicts. On 5 June, there was a presentation of the documentary produced by Javier Gascón Manos arriba, esto es un contrato (Hands Up, This is a Contract), which showcases the numerous cases of banking abuses occurring all over the country.

Poetry Slam Barcelona is a poetic competition with a flexible, dynamic and participative format where a new relationship is established between the audience and the poets, on a platform of contemporary artistic creation that has the word and the stage as central cores. The regular Slam championship has been held since February 2010 and it now has hundreds of followers, who each month meet to compete, share and applaud the performances. The 2013 season consisted of nine sessions that included eight Slam and Spoken Word championships and three Slam Classrooms. At the first workshop, Mark Kelly Smith, founder of the Poetry Slam movement, presented the basics of poetic performance on stage through writing exercises that showed participants the close relationship between text and performance. At the second, Marçal Font, winner of the Barcelona Poetry Slam league (2010 and 2011) and the Spain Poetry Slam Championship (2011), and semi-finalist of the Coup du Monde de Slam in Paris (2012), offered a brief theoretical introduction to the arts of poetry writing and poetic recital focusing on the poetry slam format. The last of the workshops was led by Chilean actress and storyteller Alejandra Hurtado who, thanks to a collaboration with the Fundación Mustakis of Chile, taught a practical class on oral and corporal expression in telling stories.

Within a music context which has seen the popularisation of amateur music self-editing and production tools, and in which it is increasingly possible to listen to music via different portals online, the 2013 edition of BCNmp7 aimed to show a commitment to live shows. The objective was to present unique and compact proposals, in which the performance was almost always accompanied by a debate aimed at a diversified audience. Of the five sessions during the year, three were programmed by the group A Viva Veu, which proposed very current topics in debates on music: “Prescribers”, with the live performances of disk-jockey and musical activist Andy Votel, and ethnomusicologist and founder of the label Awesome Tapes from Africa, Brian Shimkovitz; “Analogical Music” with performances by Zombie Zombie, Akron and Diego Garcia; and “Clubs Culture” with live performances by the mysterious Dean Blunt and local group Headbirds. Àlex Gómez-Font programmed the fourth session, “1960s progressive rock in the Iberian Peninsula”, which reunited the band Màquina! and in which Toti Soler presented Guitarra catalana. The final session of the season was “MinimAcció”, for which Lluís Nacenta commissioned Roger Goula to produce a composition which he himself performed, accompanied by the group Experimental Funktion.

Kosmopolis The Amplified Literature Fest 14 — 16 March
LA FESTA DE LA LITERATURA AMPLIFICADA VII EdIcIó 14 - 16 de març. Barcelona. cccB
On 14, 15 and 16 March the 7th biennial edition took place of Kosmopolis, the Amplified Literature Fest: three days during which the Centre again became the meeting point for lovers of literature and the letters, with lectures, chats with authors and readers, round tables, presentations, children’s and family activities and music performances linked to the three central themes of this edition: science, science fiction and humour. An attendance of over 6,000 people and over 15,000 visits to the website confirmed that Kosmopolis has become consolidated as a literature festival understood in its broadest sense, and that brings together a large community of followers. Kosmopolis featured participants from around the world. Briton Dave McKean, one of the most important illustrators of comics today, showed his work and talked with the audience. Juan José Millás and Andreu Buenafuente, two masters of irony, debated about humour, which was also be the central theme of Café Europa, which featured the participation, among others, of Carles Hac Mor, Josep Pedrals, Monika Zgustova, Eduard Escoffet, Krystof Cryzewski and Bashkim Shehu. Journalist Jacinto Antón debated with physicist Lara Saiz, communicator from the training and visitors centre of the space station at Robledo de Chavela, about the real and imaginary worlds that are suggested to us by the red planet. Writer Jordi Carrión and filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo offered a peculiar Battle of science-fiction series. The Higgs boson was the star of a session with scientists and writers who offered two views regarding the particle in an exercise in third culture. The programme for Kosmopolis occupied all the spaces at the CCCB: the Pati de les Dones was the setting for a new edition of BookCamp, transformed into an information and knowledge point revolving around literature. Experts and professionals from diverse sectors (publishing, the business world, mobile apps, printing and the social networks) debated about the dilemmas surrounding liter

ary practice in times of crisis. The CCCB’s Theatre hosted the first meeting of digital cultural journals, LiberDig, organised by Revista de Letras; and the European platform Literature Across Frontiers was presented, with an exchange between two writers, Catalan Francesc Serés and Egyptian Eman Abdelhamid. Kosmopolis also paid two tributes. Firstly, Jaume Cabré, author of Jo confesso, received recognition for his entire body of work, in a conversation with Xavier Pla, with a musical surprise included. Secondly, the festival paid tribute to Roberto Bolaño with the exhibition “Bolaño Archive, 1977-2003”, and a discussion with publishers, critics and writers such as Pere Gimferrer, Jorge Herralde, Jaume Vallcorba, A. G. Porta and Juan Antonio Masoliver Ródenas; a poetry performance with Olvido García Valdés, winner of the National Prize for Poetry; a debate on the theatrical adaptation of 2666 and a preview of the work El policía de las ratas by Àlex Rigola. Faithful to the spirit of experimentation, the programme included activities of such diverse format as the traditional final of the Gran Slam, the international Poetry Slam competition, and a concert by David Carabén. Alpha Channel offered continuous programming with unpublished works and other literary classics, and the K Archive allowed discovery of all the digitalised contents of past editions of the festival. Not to forget the children’s activities and a meetup with readers organised by Biblioteques de Barcelona, who presented the urban itinerary, «Barcelona Reads», created together with CCCB Education, with visits to singular places in Barcelona for lovers of books and reading. Kosmopolis has a powerful presence in the virtual sphere. The festival website received a total of 51,657 visits during the year 2013. Of these, 14,659 were during the week of festival (a 21% increase in visits compared to the 2011 edition). Moreover, the Twitter account @kosmopolisCCCB reached the figure of 4,728 followers, who make up a sizeable community created around literature at the CCCB. Finally, it is important to highlight the 2,470 people who followed the festival events via streaming, and the 9,027 plays of the 35 videos from the 2013 edition, which include debates, lectures, interviews and reports from the festival. www.cccb.org/kosmopolis

D’A International Art House Film Festival of Barcelona
Organisation — Noucinemart
Collaboration — CCCB, ICEC-Generalitat de Catalunya, ICUB-Ajuntament de Barcelona, Diputació de Barcelona and Filmoteca de Catalunya
25 April — 2 May
The basic objective of this festival is to explore contemporary film authorship in its broadest sense, tracking down the best of new film creations and combining established names with new talents. The desire of the event is to become an urban festival of reference and to give satisfaction to the cinephile public of the city by presenting works that never reach the commercial billboards but that find in the Festival an ideal place among an audience eager to view independent and high-risk cinema. Based on an exhaustive review of worldwide cinematographic current affairs, the third International Art House Film Festival of Barcelona presented the best international contemporary film previously unseen at our cinemas and offered spectators the possibility of enjoying some sixty films with a long track record internationally, successes and prizes from critics and audience alike, combined with proposals from new talents and new cinematographies, both international and local alike. In addition to the CCCB, the venues that the Festival occupied for this third event were Aribau Club 1 and 2 and the two halls of the new premises of the Filmoteca de Catalunya.

Collaboration — Literatura Random House, Editorial Empúries and Blackie Books
Primera Persona is a series of theatrical presentations in small format, which welcomes an entire series of artists making use of the first person to take up a position in the sphere of culture by explaining personal, honest and sometimes very funny stories.

Allò que devem estar dibuixant amb les nostres formes de viure
Installation by Perejaume
Organisation — PEN Català, La Virreina Centre de la Imatge, MACBA and CCCB Collaboration — Hotel Silken Rambles, Hotel Curious and Residents of the Carrer del Carme
7 June — 31 August
© Pep Herrero
To coincide with its 90th anniversary, the Catalan PEN, together with La Virreina Centre de la Imatge, the MACBA and the CCCB, promoted the installation in the public space of Allò que devem estar dibuixant amb les nostres formes de viure (What We Must Be Drawing Through Our Ways of Life) by Perejaume. Between 7 June and 31 August, every evening, this phrase was lit up on Carrer del Carme in Barcelona, between La Rambla and Carrer de Jerusalem. This is an open and polysemic work that, once installed on Carrer del Carme, paid tribute to the cause of imprisoned writers as well as the defence of linguistic rights and freedom of expression, and it became a shout for resistance against all attempts at appropriation of collective and individual wills.

Activities parallel to Montaldo and Jo mai
Collaboration — Velvet Events, Fundación Collado-Van Hoestenberghe, Bitò Produccions and Companyia Prisamata
13 and 29 June, and 5, 10 and 23 July
In 2013, the CCCB and the Grec Festival of Barcelona launched a new line of collaboration. In addition to the two central works of the programme, Grec Experimental CCCB encompassed a set of activities parallel to the programme of the Grec at the CCCB, which emerged from the joint work of the staff of the CCCB, the theatre companies and the production teams. All together they commenced a collective process of creation to enrich the experience of all those involved. In this edition, two productions from the Grec programme were presented at the CCCB: Montaldo and Jo Mai. In parallel with Montaldo, an activity was programmed titled “Let’s Tell Lies. Art, Fiction and Reality”, a chat about art and fiction with the director of the work Ernesto Collado, cultural producer and researcher Bani Brusadin, art historian Jorge Luis Marzo and artist Job Ramos. “Icaria, The Utopia Now” was the other proposal parallel to the work, in which Collado explained his approach to the Cabetian movement and the utopian city of Icaria. As for the work Jo Mai by Ivan Morales, the parallel session included the presentation of the screening of the short film Dibujo de David (2007) by the same author and with the live performance of the group Nitch, authors of the work’s sound track.

Sónar 2013 held the closing night of its 20th anniversary edition at the historical venues of Sónar de Dia, the CCCB and the MACBA, and it once more collaborated very closely with two of the city’s emblematic venues. Two top-class concerts were presented that shared the common characteristic of reinterpretation and re-composition as the conceptual base of musical discourses. The Teatre CCCB hosted the concert by Max Richter and BCN216, in which the British composer and the group from Barcelona performed the version that Richter composed of The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi. The interest in the proposal meant that tickets sold out many days beforehand and it was necessary to programme a second concert.

Better with humour! Dimarts, dimecres i dijous. 22 h Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during Fins al 22 d’agost. Entrada gratuïta the month of August
For the 2013 edition of Gandules, titled “Better with Humour!”, contemporary films were selected that talk about everydayness: the fears, obsessions, yearnings and passions of each day... All this, however, without ever losing the touch of irony and humour so necessary in current times. Through an open public vote, the programme for the eleventh edition was chosen from among twenty titles proposed that, although they had been premiered and had received prizes and honours at various festivals, for one reason or another, they had only had very short runs at the cinemas on the commercial circuit. The new films screened were: Dans la Maison (François Ozon), Persépolis (Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud), In the Loop (Armando Iannucci), Tulpan (Sergei Dvortsevoy), Les Bureaux de Dieu (Claire Simon), Kynodontas (Giorgos Lanthimos), Les Herbes folles (Alain Resnais), Departures (Yojiro Takita) and Arrugas (Ignacio Ferreras). In addition, before each film, a short film was presented as an appetiser.

Escena Poblenou Course for spectators 8 October
Organisation — Festival Escena Poblenou Collaboration — CCCB, Arts Santa Mònica, Goethe Institut and Universitat de Barcelona
With the support of — Generalitat de Catalunya, Ajuntament de Barcelona, Districte de Sant Martí and Can Felipa
The Festival Escena Poblenou organised the course for spectators with the intention of offering to professionals and non-professionals alike the tools to be able to look closer at contemporary stage languages. The complete course consists of five meetings in different centres in the city, each devoted to a discipline and directed by a professional from the sector and a guest artist who presents his or her project. At the session held at the CCCB, “Vides de la ment” (Lives of The Mind), Roberto Fratini, playwright and dance theorist, contextualised prejudices that situate dance exclusively in the field of action, distancing it from processes of abstract thinking, in order to underline the public meaning of this art as criticism and diagnosis of reality. Sònia Sánchez, a flamenco dancer with a long career in the world of dance, was the artist invited to present her project which Roberto Fratini used in order to give examples of tools for performing.

The ninth edition of The Influencers was devoted once more to exploring a little known territory situated between art, the communication technologies and the dynamics of the collective imagination.

Other participants included the Chim Pom group (Japan), filmmaker and artist Tellervo Kalleinen (Finland) and the collective The Troll Face, which took over the channels of the social networks of the Influencers while live, to supplant identities based on online reality.

The 19th edition of Miniput, the exhibition of quality television, offered a selection of the most innovative, provocative, educational and public service-minded programmes of the year. The pieces that were screened were those most appropriate because of their innovative, committed or experimental nature; proposals that put forward a new television format because they make use of new technologies or because they generate controversy. The programme was presented by different televisions professionals and, in some cases, by the directors of the programmes.

International Artistic Recycling Festival
Collaboration — CCCB, ICUB-Ajuntament de Barcelona and Spanish Ministry of Culture
13 December 2013 — 5 January 2014

Drap-Art is a showcase for tendencies in art that use objets trouvés and reject materials as a resource. It is a platform for the emerging sector of artists, designers and craftspeople the world over who use waste as raw materials; it is a forum for debating theories and urban utopias. Drap-Art is a meeting place for specialists with a public in search of alternative paths in a world heading for self-destruction. Our typical throwaway habits, acquired during the 20th century, have to be redirected towards an awareness that nothing disappears, everything is transformed. Drap-Art considers it imperative to encourage the newer generations to use recycling, not just as a resource for criticism, but as a tool, within everyone’s reach, to convert protest into positive proposals, which are the seeds of a more sustainable world.

Organisation — CCCB
The upheavals of the economic crisis have left exposed a vast, forgotten and neglected territory that, in these times of dispossession and loss, has a wonderful quality: it belongs to everyone. It is the immense domain of what is common, shared, which without belonging to anyone is the heritage and responsibility of each and every one of us. The voracity of the market society has often made us forget that trust in others and working together are the true foundations of collective life, and that behind each individual impulse lies the unstoppable energy of the entire community. Nature, dreams, education, democratic ideals, cities, music... all form part of the tangible and intangible heritage of every person. It is necessary to vigorously defend those spaces that are not governed by the standards of market values, but by the notion of what is beneficial for the entire community, and that promote a new culture of solidarity and collective capacity to preserve, create and manage common assets. “In Common” was framed within the line of permanent reflection on the human condition in today’s world which began in the year 2005 with the series “Passions” (2005), and continued with the debates “Life” (2006), “Sense” (2007), “The Human Condition” (2008), “Impurities” (2009), “Thinking the Future” (2010), “Crisis” (2011) and “Virtues” (2012). “In Common” featured the participation of Ulrich Beck (“Europe”), presented by Jordi Vaquer; Lydia Cacho (“Human
Rights”), presented by Sílvia Heras; Peter Burke (“Knowledge”), presented by Josep Maria Muñoz; Ramón Andrés (“Music”), presented by Ferran Sáez; Xavier Antich and Joan Margarit (“The City”), presented by Joan Nogué; Marina Garcés (“Engagement”), presented by Judit Carrera; Perejaume (“Agrarianism”), presented by Jacint Torrents; Josep Ramoneda (“Freedom”), presented by Jaume Casals; and Zygmunt Bauman (“Education”), presented by Jaume Cela.

Between Nostalgia and Desire

15, 22 and 29 January
Against the backdrop of the exhibition “Paral·lel Avenue, 18941939”, the CCCB wanted to debate on the future of this emblematic Barcelona district that today is seeking to re-find its social and cultural centrality. The so-called “Riffraff Diagonal” has a glorious past that unfortunately was not sufficiently recognised at the time by the cultural officialdom of the city. For decades the performing arts and music structured around it an intense life, forming a mixing pot from the highest classes to the most popular and marginal. Today, the future of this Avenue hovers between the nostalgia of what it was and the desire of what it could be. Over recent years, steps have been taken to transform the district which, despite its significance, is still trailing many difficulties. Intervening in this process are the Fundació El Molino and many other associations that are working to promote an action plan in the cultural, economic and urban planning sphere that should contribute to the Paral·lel shining once more with its own light. Within the framework of the series, the city mayor Xavier Trias and deputy mayor for Urban Habitat, Antoni Vives, publicly presented Barcelona City Council’s Plan for the Paral·lel. With the participation of: Josep Bohigas, Albert Civit, Jordi Coca, Josep Ferrando, Juan Carlos Iglesias, Juan José Lahuerta, Maria Serrat, Xavier Theros, Xavier Trias, Elvira Vázquez and Antoni Vives.

Racism is Still Here. And So Are We

Lecture by Tahar Ben Jelloun
© Jordi Gómez
6 May Tahar Ben Jelloun explains it often: racism is a refuge. It is for those who feel fear and also for those who are not or do not want to be informed. In addition, it links very well with the crisis. In these times of upheaval, prejudices come to the surface in order to attribute all the responsibility to foreigners, immigrants, and the marginalised. The same things happens with Islam, which is also used these days as a scarecrow that incites fear and miscomprehension. In Europe, Islamophobia has been spread as much by the parties of the extreme right as by those of the classic right, and has led to the stigmatising of Muslims who live among us. What can we do to combat this? For Tahar Ben Jelloun the answer is clear: fight against the prejudices, especially in schools, to try to remove these preconceived ideas from the heads of children before it is too late. The lecture offered by Tahar Ben Jelloun was followed by the dialogue “Racism and Football” with ex-FC Barcelona player Lilian Thuram. Journalist Emili Manzano was entrusted with presenting the event and Ramon Garriga, a trustee of the Fundació FC Barcelona, gave the welcome speech.

Great Challenges in Biomedicine

ICREA-CCCB Debates

5, 12, 18 and 26 June Biomedicine is most probably the field of research that has most impact in our lives, not so much in everyday life but, rather, with regard to our state of health, the development of new drugs and, in brief, the prospects for curing many illnesses. The radical changes that have taken place in recent years are due to the fact that the struggle against disease is now based on intimate molecular and genetic knowledge of the causal bases of illness. Knowing in order to intervene – this is the great paradigm that molecular biology has opened up in medicine and it is breaking new ground for treatment that now makes it possible to survive illnesses that were once incurable, to enjoy a good quality of life, and to live many more years than in other times. With this debate the aim was to explore the limits set by biomedicine and the promises that it is opening up with regard to its intervention in our health. “Great Challenges of Biomedicine” is the first of the ICREACCCB Debates and the beginning of a working relationship aimed at informing the wider public about the advances being made in high-level research in Catalonia and the challenges it faces. With the participation of: Bonaventura Clotet, Josep Dalmau, Josep Maria Espinàs, Ramon Gomis, Susana de la Luna, Josep Maria Llovet, Javier Martínez-Picado and Milagros Pérez Oliva.

Pasolini and the Critique of Mainstream Culture
With the support of — European Union’s Culture Programme
© Luca Bhacine
17 and 25 June, 1 and 9 July
More than anything else, Pasolini is a heterodox thinker. His concern is the process of material and spiritual homogenisation in post-war Europe as fruit of the expansion of consumer capitalism and the mass media. In this context, he reflects on the eradication of differences in lifestyles and cultural substrata while simultaneously criticising the tendency to uniformity in the life plans of a new middle class which is limited to the same ever more dehumanising horizons. Faced with this new social reality, Pasolini denounces the violence and totalitarianism inherent to capitalism, shuns standard, socially acceptable thinking and seeks to lay bare the contradictions and hazards of this new way of life. The CCCB presented these debates as part of the “Pasolini-Roma” exhibition with a view to considering our world through Pasolini’s works and raising the question of how a transgressive critique of mainstream culture might be possible today. With the participation of: Jordi Balló, Enric Casasses, Alfredo Jaar, Julià de Jòdar, Josep Maria Lluró, Dacia Maraini, Miguel Morey, Javier Pérez Andújar, Arnau Pons and Carles Rebassa.

Dialogues with British Writers

16 September, 8 October and 2 November
Within the context of the Kosmopolis festival, a series of dialogues with three British writers was organised. The first dialogue, presented by Ana Ballesteros Peiró, was dedicated to Nadeem Aslam, the British writer of Pakistani origin, on the occasion of the publication in Spanish of his latest novel, El jardín del hombre ciego (Mondadori, 2013). Although he has lived a large part of his life in the UK, Pakistan is the territory that feeds his literary imagination.

The Meaning Of Culture
Directed by — Antonio Monegal
Organisation — CCCB

18 and 19 September
Does culture matter? What purpose does it serve? What do we understand by culture? Who should it matter to? And above all, why? These questions are rarely formulated in such elementary terms, but they are inevitably found in the background of the current debate on public and private support in the cultural sector. The context of the economic crisis has accentuated this discussion, but what in reality it reveals is a deficit of social perception regarding the role of culture. The objective of this debate is not to discuss certain cultural policies nor to focus on the conditions imposed by the current crisis, but to address the root problem, to talk about culture’s raison d’être, avoiding instrumental or utilitarian justifications. Beyond its aesthetic value, its financial returns and its social benefit, this series aims to place the accent on the political and ethical relevance of culture. If culture is important it is also because it has a role to play in the political scene. With the participation of: Vicenç Altaió, Francesc-Marc Álvaro, Xavier Antich, Nicolás Barbieri, Miquel Berga, Toni Casares, Marta Clari, Eduard Escoffet, Marina Garcés, Joan Miquel Gual, Simona Levi, Emili Manzano, Xavier Marcé, Jorge Luis Marzo, Antonio Monegal, Han Nefkens, Jordi Oliveras, Vicent Partal, Isona Passola, Rosa Pera, Jordi Puntí, Ricard Robles, Catalina Serra, Teresa Sesé and Francesc Torres.

Human Nature in Transformation

19 and 28 October, 4 and 11 November
The theory of evolution proposed by Darwin in the early 19th century is probably one of the scientific theories that have most transformed our view of the world and of our own species. Today, Darwinism considers that the evolution of the human species has not only a biological basis but also a cultural one; what’s more, it is perhaps impossible to differentiate one from the other. Our tendencies towards creativity, religion or working in a collaborative way are undoubtedly traits which our social and cultural environment have known how to give a concrete form, but they would not have been possible without a nature that propitiated it and an evolution over thousands of years that favoured it. Recent discoveries in the fields of genetics and evolutionary biology confirm this intimate relationship between biology and culture. This series of lectures continues the dialogue between the life sciences and the humanities which, since 2011, has been promoted jointly by the B-Debate International Center for Scientific Debate Barcelona and the CCCB. With the participation of: Juan-Luis Arsuaga, Guido Barbujani, Jaume Bertranpetit, Jared Diamond, Cristina Junyent, Joandomènec Ros, Núria Sebastián and Montserrat Vendrell.

Who’s in Charge? The Mutations of Contemporary Power
Organisation — CCCB
Collaboration — Editorial Debate
Lecture by Moisés Naím 13 November
© Eduard Coll
Power is changing. It is increasingly easy to achieve but also more difficult to keep and wield. This is the thesis of the economic and political analyst Moisés Naím, a front-row observer of the world’s centres of power. Naím believes that the great traditional power-holders, for example governments, armies, companies and trade unions, are now confronted with new and surprising rivals, some of them much smaller in terms of dimensions and resources. In Naím’s view, power is not only changing hands but it is also losing effectiveness and this will radically transform the world in which we live. In conversation with journalist Antoni Bassas, Naím explained what has brought about these changes and what consequences can be expected, coinciding with the publication of his latest book El fin del poder (Debate, 2013). With the participation of: Antoni Bassas and Moisés Naím.

ICREA-CCCB Debates

26 November, 3, 10 and 19 December Energy drives our society. Overdependence on oil, safety problems in nuclear power stations and the shortcomings of alternative sources are presenting an energy future that is full of challenges and question marks. Energy consumption is already a social and economic problem in the West and also in the developing countries, and even more so now that thousands of millions of citizens in China and India legitimately aspire to the western way of life. However, can the planet permit its entire population to consume energy at the same rate as in the industrialised countries? Is this model of energy consumption sustainable? How long can we be dependent on oil? When will the renewable energies represent a real alternative? What technological solutions will the future present? And perhaps the most important question of all: how can we use energy without jeopardising the resources of future generations? “Energy Challenges: Present and Future” was the second of the ICREA-CCCB Debates, a stable collaboration for presenting to the public the advances and challenges of high-level research. With the participation of: Jeroen van den Bergh, Andreu Cabot, Xavier Duran i Escribà, Mònica López Ferrado, César R. Ranero and Joan Vila i Simon.

Reading Machiavelli Today
Organisation — CCCB
Staged reading by Jordi Boixaderas and lecture by Remo Bodei
Collaboration — Universitat de Barcelona and Instituto Italiano di Cultura di Barcellona
© Eduard Coll
2 December
It is now 500 years since Niccolò Machiavelli wrote The Prince but this small book continues to be a key work in political thought and, even today, the source of many readings, appropriations, comments and criticisms. The CCCB wanted to join in celebrating this anniversary and, without falling into the temptation of “updating” Machiavelli’s work, to explore the current relevance of his ideas on the relationship between politics and morality or to revisit his bleak description of human behaviour. The actor Jordi Boixaderas opened the event with a dramatized reading of the famous letter that Machiavelli wrote from exile to his friend Vettori, describing his everyday life while he was writing The Prince. This was followed with a lecture by the Italian philosopher Remo Bodei who discussed Machiavelli’s realism and offered some guidelines for reading The Prince today, accompanied by philosophers Juan Manuel Forte and Rosa Rius Gatell. The session formed part of the “International Conference on Niccolò Machiavelli. The Prince Is 500 Years Old”, organised by the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Barcelona. With the participation of: Remo Bodei, Jordi Boixaderas, Juan Manuel Forte and Rosa Rius Gatell.

This Is Not on Sale! The Moral Limits of the Market
Organisation — CCCB
Collaboration — Fundació Catalunya-La Pedrera and Editorial Debate
Lecture by Michael J. Sandel 4 December
© Miquel Taverna
Is there anything money cannot buy? From the right to contaminate the environment through to a visa or residence permit, it seems that everything is on sale. This is the belief of the political philosopher Michael J. Sandel, who states in his last book What Money Can’t Buy. The Moral Limits of Markets (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2012) that the logic of money has invaded every sphere of life, to such an extent that we have gone from having a market economy to being a market society. At a time in which inequalities are increasing and the greatly debilitated welfare state is on the verge of collapse, this commercialisation of life raises far-reaching ethical and political challenges. As Sandel formulates it, the main issues concern the role of the market in a democratic society and how to protect civic and moral values that money clearly cannot buy. With the participation of: Marina Garcés and Michael J. Sandel.

Lecture by Catherine Malabou, within the framework of the IV Philosophy Conference of Barcelona
Collaboration — Department of Philosophy of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and Grup de Recerca Cos i Textualitat
© Raquel Friera
18 December In proposing “Subversive Love” as the theme for the IV Philosophy Conference of Barcelona, the aim was to highlight its capacity to radically transform the agreed order: on an individual and also on a collective level. For the individual, love is a subversive experience that may transform one’s own existence. Love appears as an event that disturbs the established sense of the world itself, a phenomenon that gives us access to the very plasticity of the subject. Along this path, it also opens up for us the possibility of making an equality among people emerge (because we are all subject to love), an equality structurally concealed by the set of differences consubstantial to the idea of hierarchy and social order. On a collective level, in the current convergence of a society limited by the hegemony of mercantile relations and the apparent exhausting of theoretical solutions that propose new social systems, love offers us the possibility to rethink human relations in our societies: it is not a case of considering another “love revolution”, but of reflecting on the political force of affectionate feelings. With the participation of: Xavier Bassas Vila, Catherine Malabou and Felip Martí-Jufresa.

The Legacy of the Internation- The Murmur al Community in Afghanistan of Superman 30 and 31 January
Organisation — Association for Human Rights in Afghanistan (ASDHA)
12 February
Sponsorship — Ajuntament de Barcelona and Agència Catalana de Cooperació al Desenvolupament Collaboration — Afghanistan Analysts Network and CCCB
International intervention in Afghanistan began in October 2001. Among the main objectives of the operation was the desire to cause the fall of the Taliban regime, but also to capture the leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist network, Osama bin Laden, and to free women from the fundamentalist yoke. During over a decade of international presence, billions of dollars have been invested in Afghanistan and nearly fifty countries have deployed international forces there. Now it is time to depart. Most countries are preparing to leave the area and they also plan to reduce their budget for Afghanistan in coming years. However, what country are we leaving behind? What is the legacy of the international community in Afghanistan after more than twelve years of presence there? Has building a viable state been achieved?

“Perhaps” - Nietzsche wrote to Herman Levi in 1887- “there has never been a more musical philosopher than I am.” True. Perhaps no other philosopher has ever had a more day-to-day relationship with music than Nietzsche, or has wanted more fervently to use the musical form as a template for his philosophical writings, or understood more musically the expression “interpret the world”, or been more determined to make hearing a philosophical instrument. Not a single line of Nietzsche’s writing has been produced without the aim that his reader should experience the inner echo of its melody. For all these reasons, this lecture-cum-concert was offered as an exercise in musical resonance, aspiring to highlight both Nietzsche’s music and the auditory dimension of his philosophy, through pieces performed by Abraham and Esther Tena and interventions by Gregorio Luri. With the participation of: Gregorio Luri and Abraham and Esther Tena Manrique.

The Crisis and the Future of Open Societies in Europe
Presentation of the Magazine 17 September

Organisation — Open Society Initiative for Europe
Collaboration — CCCB
Europe has been drifting from crisis to crisis and the deterioration of both the economic and the political situation does not seem close to an end. The solutions adopted by the European countries not only failed to stem market turbulences, but generate hostility and resentment both and the core and in the periphery. The threat is not only to the euro, but also the Union itself and the democracies that thrived thanks to European integration. According to George Soros, the European Union, which many hoped would embody and defend the values of open society in Europe and around the Globe, no longer guarantees vibrant and tolerant democracies across the Old Continent. With the participation of: George Soros and Jordi Vaquer.

La Maleta de Portbou is thus called in memory of Walter Benjamin, who committed suicide in Portbou in 1940, when fleeing Nazi persecution. Benjamin wanted to launch a philosophy magazine to “make patent the very spirit of his era”, but his Angelus Novus never came to see the light.

Collaboration — CCCB and Societat Catalana de Geografia
This lecture was given on the occasion of the launch of the book Franco Farinelli. Del mapa al laberinto (Franco Farinelli: From Map to Labyrinth), by Bernat Lladó (Icària Editorial, 2013). Geography is the archetypical knowledge of western culture. In their zeal to represent the world, to draw the globe on a map, geographers laid the foundations of modern scientific knowledge. By means of cartographic projection and the coordinate system they invented space, which is to say the Universal Measure. From this there emerged not only a new experience of territory, but also a new way of organising it: modern states. With globalisation, however, the experience and organisation of modern territory would seem to have come to an end. The functioning of the world is no longer in tune with the logic of the map. In order to escape this logic, Farinelli suggests that we should overcome our fear of the labyrinth, the only flat representation possible of the globe, since it is only from within the labyrinth that we shall be able to understand geography and the world of today. With the participation of: Núria Benach, Franco Farinelli and Bernat Lladó Mas.

Organisation — Masters Programme in Chinese Studies of the UPG, Editorial Les Males Herbes and CCCB

China has undergone far-reaching economic, political and social changes since the end of the Cultural Revolution. How has Chinese literature reflected this colossal transformation? What kind of evolution taken place in literary production since Mao’s death? Why is Yu Hua’s always-innovative prose so harsh and trenchant? Yu Hua and Carles Prado addressed these and other questions in their discussion, which was the inaugural lecture in the Master’s Degree in Chinese Studies at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. The event was held to coincide with the publication of the first translation into Catalan of Yu Hua’s work, El passat i els càstigs (Les Males Herbes, 2013 – published in English as The Past and the Punishments, University of Hawaii Press, 1996). With the participation of: Carla Benet Duran, Yu Hua, Ricard Planas and Carles Prado
Adolescence as a stage of transition to an adult identity is determined by culture. How does contemporary society accommodate this process? How does it receive the sometimes rule-breaking novelty introduced by its new members? This is a society marked by changes that are happening so fast that they jeopardise intergenerational transmission of knowledge and values, increase complexity and exacerbate feelings of uncertainty. A highly creative society but one also threatened by a return to authoritarianism or the repudiation of social values which characterises utilitarianism and individualism. An adolescent society? From the “gangs of the 80s” to the “tyrant-teen of the new century”. How is the eternal conflict between generations being dealt with today? A dialogue between Luis Feduchi, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst specialising in adolescence, and Lluis Duch, anthropologist and analyst of contemporary society. This dialogue celebrated the 20th anniversary of the collaboration between the teams of Youth Justice of the Generalitat of Catalonia and the Child Care Team at Sant Pere Claver-Fundació Sanitària.

Barcelona a cau d’orella Presentation of the book by Xavier Theros 12 December
Organisation — Editorial Comanegra
Collaboration — CCCB
Xavier Theros has spent years following the threads of the enormous spider’s web known as Barcelona, an always vital, changing city, perpetually being redrawn by the trails left by people who pass through. In Barcelona a cau d’orella (Comanegra, 2013), Theros offers a consummate human portrait of the city and its intangible heritage constituted by experiences and social relations. It is a guide based first and foremost on what is not public knowledge, the chronicle of a city that whispers its secrets. This book was written with the express desire of following in the footsteps of an earlier work, Guía secreta de Barcelona (The Secret Guide to Barcelona) in which, forty years ago, Josep Maria Carandell invented the craft of telling the story of the most recondite corners of his city, thus producing a map of places, stories and small indiscretions as to what can still be seen and what no longer exists. With the participation of: Consuelo Bautista, Manuel Delgado, Joan Sala and Xavier Theros.

Design and Production of Spaces
Organisation — UPC School, Institut d’Humanitats de Barcelona and CCCB
Master’s and Postgraduate Programmes October 2012 — July 2013 The Master’s Degree in the Design and Production of Spaces brings together different professional concerns and is built based on two postgraduate courses. Firstly, the postgraduate course “Design of Interiors”, in the professional field of Interior Design, a discipline with a brilliant tradition in Barcelona and that needs its own reference points. This course seeks to fill a void in the educational offerings in this area that existed until now. Secondly, the postgraduate course “The Exhibition Space” seeks to work with
space as a meeting point between people and culture within the framework of creative museography. By taking these two postgraduate courses students can earn the Master’s diploma. This programme is directed by Arnaldo Basadonna, architect and lecturer; Mario Corea, engineer and member of the CCCB assembly team; and Paco Pérez Valencia, painter, museographer and responsible for the Espacio Escala (Col·lecció Cajasol).

Metropolis Master’s and Postgraduate Programme
Organisation — IDEC-UPF, Institut d’Humanitats and CCCB
April — July Metropolis is a master’s degree programme based on research into architecture and urban culture, organised by the CCCB and the IDEC-UPF. Architects, artists, designers and critics are invited to reflect on the state of cities today. The Master’s Degree offers a space for advanced studies on the relationship between the social, cultural and architectural conditions of cities. Within this framework, each student develops an individual project lasting two years which is tutored by the programme’s teaching staff and benefits from seminars, lectures, visits, workshops and master classes.
Graduates can take on professional and academic responsibilities with the experience of having created and developed a research project that opens up a new door to the comprehension of the complex forces that converge in the public space. This programme is directed by Xavier Costa (deacon of the College of Arts, Media and Design, Northeastern University), Antoni Luna (professor of geography at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra) and Suzanne Strum (architect).

Public space: Urban policies and Citizenship Postgraduate Programme
Organisation — Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), Institut de Govern i Polítiques Urbanes (IGOP) and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)
Collaboration — CCCB
November 2013 — June 2014 The public space brings together the main values of the city but also reveals its inequalities. It is an integrating instrument for urban planning but at the same time a setting and a space for conflicts. This programme aims to offer theoretical and practical training to imagine, design and manage urban public space in an integrated way, assuming the complexity of the urban reality and extolling its democratic values. The city and the public space is one of the focal points of permanent reflection for the CCCB, which in the year 2000 launched the European Prize for Urban Public Space with the aim of recognising and stimulating projects for the recovery and defence of the public space in our cities. The history of the Prize, which is contained in the online archive at www.publicspace.org, offers over 450 examples of transformation and improvement of the public space, a fact which makes it a valuable observatory of European cities. With the title “Public Space: A Citizens’ Reconquest”, on 24 January the postgraduate course presentation event took place with the
participation of Jordi Borja, David Bravo, Guillem Domingo, LaCol, Andrés Naya and Joan Subirats. In addition, the CCCB hosted a series of debates within the context of the postgraduate course Public Space: Urban Policy and Citizenship. The series was developed over two sessions that tackled the public space from the possibilities offered by collaborative design and the limitations imposed by the social control and sexual exclusion: “Collaborative Design of Public Space” (26 September), with the participation of Paco González, Marc Grau-Solés, Tomás Sánchez-Criado and Joan Subirats, and “Pub(l)ic Space: Sexuality and Social Control in the City” (4 October), with the participation of Albert Arias, Jordi Borja, Gerard Coll-Planas and Clarissa Velocci. This programme is directed by Jordi Borja (sociologist, geographer and urban planner, director of the City Management and Urban Planning Department of the UOC) and Joan Subirats (chair professor of Political Science at the UAB).

CCCB Lab is the CCCB department most focused on research, transformation and innovation in the cultural sphere, and it pays special attention to the evolution of genres and formats in a changing scenario where art, science, information and knowledge are becoming the lynchpins of a new world, a new economy and a new society. The objectives of the Lab are the dissemination and praxis of cultural innovation, the creation and consolidation of networks, research and innovation in virtual scenarios, learning and the design of participation processes, the transformation of working methodologies and the study of digital humanities. In 2013 these objectives were tackled in greater depth through processes, networks and platforms that favour new dynamics of creation, production and post‑production. Part of the Lab’s task consists of working transversally with the rest of the Centre’s departments. Thus, in 2013 the Lab took part in the creation of the new CCCB Education itinerary “Barcelona Reads”, while redefining the virtual archive of the Now project, it also collaborated with the parallel programme for the exhibition “Pasolini Rome” and worked on new formats such as the BookCamp for the Kosmopolis Festival.

Blog and Social Networks
The emergence of a community focused on ideas, projects and innovative experiences requires constant learning and attention. The Lab’s blog is the tool through which knowledge is shared and this community is built. Every week articles, reports and interviews related with different aspects of cultural innovation are published. The work carried out can be consulted on www.cccb.org/lab with an average of over a thousand visits per week. The articles published are brand new and their authors are specialists in different subjects. People who have written for the blog include: Agustín Fernández Mallo, Bashkim Shehu, Bernard Stiegler, Breixo Harguindey, Carlos A. Scolari, César Reyes, Dolors Reig, Ele Carpenter, Felipe G. Gil (Zemos98), Irene Lapuente, Jordi Carrión, Juan Insua, Jussi Parikka, Karma Peiró, Luis Ángel Fernández-Hermana, Mara Balestrini, Oriol Ripoll, Paisaje Transversal, Platoniq, Ramón Sangüesa, Ricard Solé, Roc Jiménez de Cisneros, Rubén Martínez, Sandra Álvaro, Sergi Jordà, Tamara Vázquez-Shröder, Tomás Díez, Vicente Luis Mora, Yuk Hui and Zzzinc. In early 2013 the CCCB Lab Blog was redesigned and changes were made to the graphics, the contents architecture and the editorial line. During this year, the blog received 40,331 visits, some 40% more than in 2012. In qualitative terms it also experienced major improvements and increased by 1 minute the average visit length (which stands at 03:09 minutes) and the number of pages seen per visit (which rose from 2.06 to 2.21). The blog is also currently immersed in a growing process of internationalisation. Visitors from outside Barcelona increased by 5.4%, a rise that is especially significant in South America, where it stands at 26.7%. As a result of this work, at the end of 2013 the CCCB was awarded the Blog Catalonia Prize 2013, in the category Culture and Tendencies (Corporate).
The social networks also played an important role in both the dissemination of the activities of the CCCB Lab and in their own development, allowing interaction with the whole world.

Organisation — CCCB and Open Knowledge Foundation
Data Journalism is a discipline that the main international media have incorporated in recent years, offering readers data visualisation and processing to explain the news in a clear and understandable way. The 1st Data Journalism and Open Data Conferences, (#jpd13), the first devoted to the subject held in Spain, and held in May 2013 – at the CCCB, at the Blanquerna Communication Faculty and at Medialab Prado – were a success in terms of participation. The programme included sessions with keynote lectures offered by authorities in data journalism from the national and international scene such as Mar Cabra, Eva Belmonte (Civio), John Burn-Murdoch (The Guardian), Judith Argila (TV3), Ricard Gràcia (El Periódico de Catalunya), Juan Luís Sánchez (Eldiario.es), Eduard Martín-Borregón (Data’n Press), Michael Bauer (Open Knowledge Foundation), Marc Garriga, Manuel Aristarán (La Nación) and Sergio Álvarez Leiva (Vizzuality), among others. It also included a BarCamp and presentation of national cases. The interest shown by those attending the Conference made manifest the need to continue exploring the world of data. For this reason, the “Data Journalism” coordination team of the Spanish chapter of the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) organised a series of monthly sessions so that journalists, IT specialists and designers could consider new work challenges together. These were very practical meetups, lasting an afternoon each. For three hours local data journalism projects are presented, but there are also workshops to learn to make use of the tools that allow the processing of data and their visualisation. The data journalism sessions organised by the OKFN, in collaboration with CCCB Lab, are also a good place to get to know the professionals working in this discipline and to stay up to date on news, resources and scheduled events relating to data.
Over the course of 2013 three workshops were held: “Excel and Google Drive for Journalists”, with Gilbert Martínez; “Google Fusion Tables” with Eduard Martin-Borregón of Data’n’Press; and “Obtaining the best of the web with scraping” with Michael Bauer (Open Knowledge Foundation). There were also presentations of cases: Open Government (Concha Catalán), Map Infoparticip@ (Amparo Moreno, UAB), atNight (Mar Santamaria, Pablo Martínez and Jordi Bari) and Fuga2 (Eli Vivas and Francisco José Moya). In addition, there was an introduction to the portal Open Data and Open Gov run by Barcelona City Council and the year ended with the presentation of work with data at The New York Times offered by Aron Pilhofer. During the year 2013, the Data Journalism files on the CCCB Website received 3,667 visits. The posts on the subject published on the Lab Blog received 2,376 visits. The videos of the 1st Data Journalism Conference were played 459 times and those of the different work sessions, 535. Finally, on Twitter there were 4,234 tweets published with the tag #periodismodatos.

I+C+i. Pasolini at the Lab Research and Innovation in the Cultural Sphere
Organisation — CCCB
Collaboration — This project has received the support of the European Union
2 July
To coincide with the exhibition Pasolini Rome, a special I+C+i was presented that focused on exploring how this creator incorporated the concept of experimentation into his work. This lover of heterodoxy and the mixture of genres, conciliator of high and low culture, concerned with all that is marginal, with minority languages and minor genres, understood culture as a kind of laboratory. The session included a workshop and a debate about the figure of this creator. The comics workshop was offered by Davide Toffolo, author of the comic Pasolini. A creation somewhere between a diary and a report in which Toffolo imagines an encounter with a man who claims he is Pasolini, with whom he strikes up a long conversation in which the man expresses himself with the words of the real Pier Paolo Pasolini taken from books, interviews and articles by the artist in a painstakingly detailed work of documentation. Toffolo ran this workshop where he explained the development of the creative process, his selection of works, the techniques he used and he analysed different scenes from his graphic novel. Participants in the debate “Pasolini at the Lab” included Davide Toffolo, Gonzalo de Lucas, Breixo Harguindey and Javier Rebollo. We usually remember Pier Paolo Pasolini for his filmography, but when his first film, Accattone, became known in 1961, he had already published numerous poems and two novels, had collaborated extensively with various cultural and literary publications and had become consolidated as one of the most important writers in Italy. In the 1960s, this artist and visionary already talked about his work space by repeatedly using, with clearly significant intent, the word laboratory. These days, this word is often used to designate spaces and proposals focusing on research, experimentation and innovation. The following questions were raised during the
debate: From Pasolini to modern laboratories, which innovations remain valid today? What is their influence on the films of today? What is that great potential for change? The talk “Pasolini in the Laboratory” explored the idea of the artist in the laboratory that Pasolini proposed and placed on the table the debate that this concept currently arouses. Last year the series was concluded with the conversion of the blog into a repository for the series since it was created, a space that brings together all the information related with each session, and an I+C+iPedia was created which includes: the digitalisation of all the debates and interviews available, material for expanding contents, a summary of the online debate for each session, etc. All the material is consultable by searching by year, subject or participant, and it is also accessible at the CCCB Archive. www.cccb.org/icionline

Cultural Rings
Latin America-Europe Cultural Ring
The Centre has participated, since its creation, in the Cultural Ring project, which had its first embodiment in the Catalan Cultural Ring. The CCCB intends to continue to participate, insofar as it is able, in all those projects designed to connect, share and co-create with the cultural centres of the Catalan towns linked to the Catalan Culture Ring. Furthermore, in the year 2012, the ICUB started to promote a “ring” project for the city of Barcelona in which the Centre continued to participate during the year 2013.
The Latin America-Europe Cultural Ring is a network of cultural facilities located in different countries which also has the objective of activating the co-production of events online, promoting lines of research into new uses of the web in cultural production and promoting the creation of contents. The Cultural Ring is a tool capable of offering creators a platform for experimenting with new digital applications and, at the same time, improving their dissemination and intercommunication. Joining the member centres (Centro Cultural Sao Paulo, Museo de Antioquia, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de Chile, Centro Cultural España-Córdoba and the CCCB) in 2013 was the Infoart project from Montevideo, Uruguay. www.anillacultural.net

The CCCB’s educational proposal is made up of a set of face-to-face activities linked to the Centre’s programme, which are complemented with the development of the virtual space (www.cccbeducacio. org) for sharing work, experiences and educational resources. The objective of the CCCB’s educational proposal is to explore the relations between the activities programmed by the Centre, its archive and the cultural life of the city, placing special emphasis on education centres.
67 CCCB Educación
The website www.cccbeducacio.org A platform for knowledge, dissemination, learning and participation The website www.cccbeducacio.org had a clear objective from the very start: to complement the virtual network that already exists with a new space where the participation can be recorded of external people and groups for whom education is the centre of their interest and activity and that, in this sense, echo the cultural life of the city. The website www.cccbeducacio.org aims to be a useful instrument for this dimension considered specific to a centre for contemporary culture, which not only programmes but also remains alert to relevant external initiatives. The platform cccbeducació.org offers a meeting space for all those projects and programmes that seek a harmonious balance between education and culture. Firstly, the project has been based on a very open conception of the terms culture and education, which means that it has not been restricted by any specific programme nor strictly reduced to the school field, as sole educational reference point. Secondly, it has been possible to concentrate on that aspect that always turns out to be most difficult, the existing relationship between these two registers – culture and education – which institutionally have been turning their back on each other for many years. Finally, and perhaps as a consequence of everything else, it has not overlooked the aspect of international references that allow a broad perspective to be maintained regarding the current speed of change that our world is experiencing. In this sense, the commitment that the CCCB has always made to the internationality of its programme is a basic ingredient in which cccbeducacio.org has maintained this initial component that formed a part of it.
One can talk of cccbeducacio.org as a CCCB own programme because it gives evident demonstrations of the interest of its objectives. The CCCB today has an archive with a growing number of projects revolving around the relationship between culture and education that allows it, or could allow it, to programme with greater capacity for influencing the surrounding environment. And, the city’s education centres, understood in their broadest sense, have a mechanism for citizen participation that was non-existent previously: they not only contrast and compare themselves with each other but also with the CCCB, and through it, with an ever-growing reference universe. The CCCB Education website had 23,156 visits during 2013. This represented an increase of 78% with respect to the previous year. It is a website with two contrasting profiles of users, 42% who visit a lot of pages during an extended period (around 10 minutes) and 58% who visit only one page on the site. As for the origin of the users, they are based mainly in Barcelona and Catalonia (some 80%). Finally, the Twitter profile has some 5,434 followers.
CCCB Education — Activities and Workshops
Visits to the Exhibitions During 2013 guided visits were offered to the exhibitions at the CCCB, during which some 4,606 people attended. The start of the year still allowed the exploration of the social repercussions of an urban transformation analysed through an exhibition very much directly linked to Barcelona: “El Paral·lel, 1894-1939”. During this final period of the exhibition, some 771 people attended guided tours. From March to June, coinciding with the third school term, material was offered for working in the classroom and guided tours of the exhibition “Bolaño Archive, 1977-2003”. Some 405 people attended guided tours. A teaching exchange experience was created with different centres of the Latin America-Europe Cultural Ring. The school year ended and the summer was celebrated with the exhibition “Pasolini Rome”, an exhibition based on Pier Paolo Pasolini’s cinematographic view of the city of Rome, his vital relationship with the city and his view of the urban periphery. Some 693 people attended guided tours. After the summer, with the new academic year 2013-2014, we saw the return of a new edition of “World Press Photo”, known worldwide as the main touring exhibition of photojournalism; this was a unique occasion to discover the work of the photojournalist and the raw reality behind the news. Some 2,285 people visited the exhibition on guided tours.
At the end of the year, 252 people attended guided tours of “Espriu. I Looked Upon This Land”, which allowed work in the field of languages. (This exhibition ended in March 2014, therefore the number does not correspond to the total number of visitors). This exhibition allowed a specific proposal to be created for primary pupils and families, intensifying the cultural experience for little ones.

Kosmopolis Within the framework of the seventh edition
Organisation — CCCB, Institut de Ciències Fotòniques and Biblioteques de Barcelona
Within the framework of the seventh edition of the Kosmopolis Festival, the CCCB’s Education Service collaborated with the Institut de Ciències Fotòniques to carry out two activities related with the competition Light on the Waves. First of all, a round table that reflected on the experience of the first edition of the competition, while focusing on culture, education, arts and sciences, and secondly, an invitation to youngsters to create poems live with the help of groups such as Bläue, Joan Colomo, EXXASENS, D-Fried, Glissando*, Fernando Lagreca, Lucy & The Bossons, Megaafonía, Pulpopop and Miss Q. After Kosmopolis, in September, the final concert of the second competition held in 2013 took place at the Teatre CCCB, with an audience of 350 secondary school pupils and teachers. The literary itinerary “Barcelona Reads”, created by the CCCB and the Consorci de Biblioteques de Barcelona, was another of the educational activities linked to the festival. A part of the itineraries were held during the festival and the rest in the autumn. The 462 people who attended had the opportunity to visit the Reial Acadèmia de Medicina, the Sala Cervantina at the Biblioteca de Catalunya, the Sala de Reserves at the Biblioteca de la Universitat de Barcelona and the Arxiu Històric de la Ciutat, with specialists who dealt with different aspects of readings, for example Joanna Sierpowska and Diana López Barroso, of the Cognition and Brain Plasticity Group, IDIBELL- Universitat de Barcelona; Núria Altarriba, from the Biblioteca de Catalunya; Albert Soler, from the Catalan Department of the Universitat de Barcelona; and Montserrat Comas, director of the Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer.

The City of Photographers
Organisation — MACBA, CCCB and A Bao A Qu
Photography Workshop at the MACBA and the CCCB January — June and October — December After the first experience of the workshop “Photographic Spaces” during the 2011-2012 academic year, and within the framework of the “Fotografia en curs” programme, this activity was developed towards the exploration of the public space that is photographed. The workshop “The City of Photographers” proposed a creative and reflexive discovery of photography based on the link between photographic practice and the exploration of the city. The workshops were proposed as an exploration of the photographic heritage and of the expressive selections of photography, and as an investigation into the city as a public space through photographic creation. The photographs produced have been published on the website www.fotografiaencurs.org, which constitutes a photographic archive and a visual cartography of the city. During 2013, a total of 671 primary and secondary students enjoyed this learning experience.

TEDxRambles
Organisation — TEDxRambles
Collaboration — CCCB
Activities for Educators 4 July The objective of this edition of TEDxRambles was to offer specific proposals to improve the world, through education. With the title “Science, Technology and Conscience”, the need was tackled both of “teaching” and “enlightening” in the fields of science, technology, economics, computer studies, etc., to better understand contemporary culture, such as incorporating the critical and ethical component to issue and develop critical arguments and judgements on the excesses of technicist and scientificist culture. The talks presented were given by Francisco Aréchaga (How to turn ideas into reality through conscience converted into willpower), Marta García-Matos (Possible histories of light and matter), Josep Eladi Baños (Ethical considerations at the start of scientific medicine), Joima Panisello (Shared responsibility of the patient, based on knowledge, is becoming essential). Irene Lapuente (Bodies that learn, the relationship between education and dance), Jordi Serrano (Science, technology and the world of work), Josep Perelló (How to work in science by maintaining a connection with city and citizens), Ramon Fauria (Trip to the Power of the Mind, sharing knowledge and creation) and Jil van Eylen.

Cinema in the Classroom:
Organisation — CCCB and Filmoteca de Catalunya
Proposals and Methodologies Activities for Educators November — December CCCB Education collaborated with the educational programme of the Filmoteca de Catalunya, “Filmoteca for Schools 2013-2014”. Within the framework of this programme, A Bao A Qu / Cinema en curs developed a teacher training course with 5 sessions (3 theoretical and 2 practical). The course, which filled all its registered places, offered the tools and methodologies to introduce cinema as an art and as creation into primary and secondary classrooms. For this reason one of the main objectives of the training was to provide participants with the basic instruments necessary for carrying out activities related with the cinema in the specific context in which they work, and to be able to do it from creative practice as much as from reflection and analysis. In this sense, it also tackled the connection between cinema and other school curriculum areas and basic skills.

autumn A team of writers, narrators and illustrators work with primary school pupils so that the children can live in the first person the process of creation of a book. The aim is, firstly, to contribute towards promoting a reorientation of the educational curriculum so that creativity and narrative capacity open up space in the classrooms and form a natural part of the processes of learning, and secondly, for the cultural offering of the CCCB to serve as a source of stimulation and raw material for the educational curriculum. The following writers took part: Anna Manso, Bel Olid, David Nel·lo, Victoria Bermejo, Pau Joan Hernández, Jaume Copons, Susana Peix, Mireia Vidal, Anna Fité, Sandra Gómez, Àlex Tovar and Anna Fernández Preixens; and illustrators such as Àfrica Fanlo, Arianne Faber, Alba Marina Rivera, Artur Laperla, Marcos Isamat, Cristina Spanò, Clara Sáez, Lluís Cadafalch, Òscar Julve, Luisa Vera, Perico Pastor, Cristina Losantos and Miguel Gallardo, among others.

For another year the CCCB presented its programme of urban itineraries, maintaining the principle of discovering the city based on its urbanistic and social transformations. This year an extra itinerary was added around the Barcelona of Salvador Espriu, Lavínia. A permanent, regular and stable educational offering for an adult audience and for school groups. In 2013 a total of 291 people were catered for on weekends with an offer plus 3,099 students.
71 CCCB Education — Itineraries
Urban itineraries — Raval. Cosmopolitan Territory (itineraries on foot) What was once the emptiest sector of walled Barcelona is today the most densely populated neighbourhood in the city. In this process the Raval has become a cosmopolitan territory, but it has never managed to free itself of the effects of marginalisation. How is it possible to favour a mixture of uses, cultures and classes without excluding anyone?
— Poblenou. The Productive City (itineraries on foot) The utopian socialism of Cerdà saw in Poblenou the possibility of a New Icaria. Pla 22@, a testing bench for exploring the knowledge society. De-industrialisation has filled it with abandoned factories and the collective memory of the workers and the cooperatives has charged it with meaning. What must the city live on after de-industrialisation?
— El Carmel and Nou Barris. From the Right to Housing to the Right to a City (itineraries on foot) The need for a roof over people’s heads is more imperative than any urban planning regulation. The fight of the neighbourhoods of El Carmel and Nou Barris to achieve dignified housing is full of lessons for tackling a challenge that is still all-too-pressing today: how can we ensure that the city accommodates everyone?
— Eixample. The Shape of the City (itineraries on foot) The results of recent research have accurately given us a closer view of the complexity of the original Cerdà plan, but have also helped us to be fully aware of the great flexibility of Cerda’s urban design and its capacity to adapt to the changes that the city has experienced over the last 150 years. The Eixample is a vibrant modern district that is geared towards a future that demands new actions.
— Besòs. From Frontier to Public Space (itinerary by coach) What was once a frontier between urban peripheries is now a nerve centre that transcends the municipal sphere and is helping to configure a new metropolitan city. Today the Besòs is a privileged space for interconnection within a context in which planning and urban vision on a large scale have become fundamental.
— Llobregat. New Metropolitan Axis (itinerary by coach) The Llobregat continues to be an essential river for the entire territory that it crosses: for the urban fabric surrounding it, for the delta generated by it and for the economy in motion around it. This visit to the river – from Sant Joan Despí to its arrival at El Prat – aims to analyse the Llobregat’s role as a fundamental axis in the territorial and economic organisation of this sector of the metropolitan city. — La Sagrera - Sant Andreu - Sant Martí: Three Neighbourhoods Undergoing Transformation (itinerary by bicycle) The La Sagrera area is the place where the largest urban transformation in the city of Barcelona is taking place, with the construction of the great new railway station of Barcelona for the high-speed train and the incorporation of a linear park from the bridge on Bac de Roda to the Trinitat interchange. The route leads around the sector first above it and then below it.
— From Montgat to the Barceloneta. A Variety of Seafronts (itinerary by bicycle) The stretch from Montgat to the river Besòs is marked by the alternation of consolidated urban fronts and industrial sectors situated right along the coastline. Having crossed the Besòs, two urbanistic operations serve to date the transformation of Barcelona’s urban front: the Forum and the Vila Olímpica. The Barceloneta, the city’s port and fishing district since it was founded in the 18th century, is today adapting to the new challenge presented by the advent of mass leisure and tourism.
Literary Itineraries — Lavínia, the Barcelona of Salvador Espriu. This itinerary includes a tour around the prose and the biography of Salvador Espriu, with Maria Nunes.
— Barcelona Reads Barcelona Reads is an itinerary organised jointly by the CCCB and the Library Consortium of Barcelona that tours key aspects of reading through the extraordinary collections and singular premises offered by different institutions in Barcelona, with the presence and explanations of specialists in the different subjects.

Global Screen In Monterrey 28 June — 29 September “Global Screen” is an exhibition dedicated to a reflection on all the screens that influence us in the 21st century: cinema, television, computers, smartphones, digital tablets, surveillance screens, etc. All the screens that have come to be a part of our lives and are here to stay, with a power that has no precedents, as they affect all sectors: private, social, cultural, artistic, scientific and political. In a project that defines itself as eminently open, evolving and shared in all senses, in its process of creation, in its content and in its form, itinerancy acquires an emblematic role. Each of the productions generates a form of movement, of transformation, of

Gilles Lipovetsky attended and presented the project.

Bolaño Archive, 1977- 2003 In Buenos Aires 19 December 2013 — 20 February 2014 A decade after his death and revolving around Bolaño’s known devotion to Argentine literature (he was a voracious reader of Arlt, but also of Macedonio Fernández, Borges and Cortázar), the City of Buenos Aires wanted to pay its own tribute to him and host the exhibition “Bolaño Archive, 1977-2003” at the Centro Cultural Recoleta. “Bolaño Archive” is the result of collaboration between the CCCB and the heirs of Bolaño. Beyond the thematic focus, the innovative museographic elements and other aspects, the strong point of the exhibition is the presentation of previously unpublished material from the archives of Roberto Bolaño: novels, short stories, poems, texts and various exercise books, correspondence, family photographs, magazines and fanzines, his personal library, a plethora of interviews, strategy board games and other valuable materials, that provide a greater comprehension of the creative universe of Bolaño and contribute to a freer and more prolific interpretation of his work.

Post-It City Occasional Cities
Curators — Martí Peran, Filippo Poli, Giovanni La Varra and Federico Zanfi Production — CCCB
Organisation — CCCB, Sala Fundación Cruzcampo and Malaga City Council
In Malaga 8 October — 3 December The concept of Post-it City refers to different temporary occupations of public space, be they commercial, recreational or of any other type, with the characteristic that they barely leave a trace, and self-manage their appearances and disappearances. Different multidisciplinary teams from Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Africa have collaborated on this project, which aims to configure the jigsaw puzzle of the informal city: spontaneous settlements, self-managed leisure, recycling as a strategy for survival and imagination, alternative housing and other post-it city phenomena that highlight the urban territory as a place where there is an overlap of different uses and situations, in opposition with the growing pressures to homogenise the public space. Malaga joined the catalogue of “networked cities” with has featured the participation of young researchers from all over the country, through the contribution of results from the research workshop on spontaneous uses of the public space that were carried out by Malaga University students at the Sala Fundación Cruzcampo. It could be said that, of all the adaptations made over the course of its tours, the formalisation at this venue was the one that best responded to the post-it concept because it was presented at an alternative space that, in fact, is a car park.
“Post-it City” has also been presented at: Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MAC, Santiago de Chile), Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo (EAC, Montevideo), Espacio Casa de Cultura - La Prensa (Buenos Aires), Centro Cultural São Paulo, Museo de Cádiz and Centro Centro de Madrid.

Xcèntric Archive
Organisation — CCCB
The CCCB has a digital archive for free public consultation specialising in experimental film and creative documentaries, with over 700 films. Among the new acquisitions in 2013, highlights are the four most important titles of Maya Deren, the latest pieces by Peter Tscherkassky, films by Henri Storck and other prominent Belgian avant-garde filmmakers and also by young local authors such as Gerard Gil, Albert Alcoz and Ana Pfaff. The archive has given visibility this year to two local audiovisual projects: “Your Lost Memories”, an initiative that collects and gives life to “orphaned” films in Super-8, and “The One-Minute Video”, an initiative from the International Women’s Films Exhibition of Barcelona, which invites women to make films of a minute in length and recorded in a single shot around a certain issue. The Xcèntric Archive has also hosted at its premises three workshops related with animation. With the name “PARAL·L·E·L·P·O·P·U·P”, the first two were devoted to exploring the cut-out photo by photo animation technique using cut pieces to create an experimental collage film by making use of many of
the materials from the documentation of the exhibition “Paral·lel Avenue, 1894-1939”. The third workshop, aimed at a family audience, taught experimental animation with new digital tools in an easy and accessible way. On a regular basis proposals are made to visitors of “menus” or thematic programmes for à la carte viewing and guided visits are organised for groups (students from universities, film schools, artistic and professional groups, etc.). With these educational and dissemination activities, the aim is to bring this cinema closer to potential viewers, expanding the cinema space and raising awareness regarding its continuing capacity to reinvent itself and its possibilities for generating visual thinking. www.cccb.org/Xcentric

Observatory Archives The Unidentified Video Observatory archives are of an intentional and thematic nature: the aim is to facilitate a critique of contemporary culture using different strategies (video, art, independent documentary and mass media archaeology). The Archives contain an entire constellation of disparate works, the common denominator of which is their free expression and reflection on individual and collective fears and pleasures. Together they build up a view with numerous facets, of thousands of tiny eyes that explore our world in depth, or announce other possible worlds; a discourse whose main values are heterogeneity, contradiction
and subjectivity, and that aims to be a salutary lesson against the cloning and repetition of the corporate mass media. www.desorg.org

— Bolaño Archive, 1977-2003 The possibility of exploring the Bolaño Archive, offered to the CCCB by his heir Carolina López, has also allowed the production of this catalogue which reviews the figure and work of Roberto Bolaño taking as a starting point the three places where he lived a large part of his life: Barcelona, Girona and Blanes. The work of Bolaño, from his youthful exercises “written to free my hand” to the gigantic ambition of 2666, all seems to form part of a universe in expansion, with its own laws, games, mirages and connectivities. The catalogue helps, in this sense, towards unravelling the Bolaño enigma. x Languages: Catalan edition with English translation / Spanish edition with English Translation 176 pages /17 x 24 cm / 70 images b/w and colour Texts by: Juan Insua, Valerie Miles, A.

Audience Visits to the CCCB The total number of visits during the year totalled 313,850. This means that during this year a great effort was made to maintain the number of visits despite the partial closure of the CCCB for building work during the months of September and October. This also meant that during the year 2013, the average number of visits to the Centre for each day it was open stood at 896, slightly below that of the previous year, which stood at 932. In general figures, if the year 2013 is compared with the previous year, visits to exhibitions decreased slightly (from 149,796 to 142,346). The number of people attending activities also fell (from 108,807 to 88,760), above all due to the reduction in the programming and especially because this was the first year without the Sónar Festival. Furthermore, the figure of people attending courses was maintained (from 24,948 to 24,595) and visits to the Xcèntric and CCCB Archives increased (from 13,426 to 17,015 visits), despite their being closed for six weeks. Finally, a figure that increased considerably was that of people attending venue hire events (from 18,955 to 40,864). The number of visits exceeded that of the previous year in the months of November, January and February, and it descended considerably in the months of June and October. As for the exhibitions programme, “World Press Photo 13” had the highest attendance, with 41,383 visitors, followed by “Pasolini Rome”, with 36,349. With regard to the activities programme, it is important to highlight for the first time the absence of the Sónar Festival. Of the other festivals, those with the largest audiences in attendance were Món Llibre with 18,000 visitors, L’Alternativa with 9,267 and Kosmopolis with 6,044. With respect to more specific activities, it is worth highlighting the offering of urban itineraries with 3,180 participants. As for the audiovisual offering, the Xcèntric programme totalled 2,436 viewers, while Gandules totalled 5,916. These two programmes increased their audience in comparison with the previous year. As regards debates and courses, the “In Common” debate reached a total of 3,341 people attending the season’s nine sessions, each of which had an audience in excess of 220 people. Highlights included the lectures given by Zygmunt Bauman with 700 in attendance and by Ulrick Beck with 550, as well as that of Josep Ramoneda with 450. This debate was followed by the debates related with the exhibition “Pasolini Rome”, with a total of 932 people attending. Finally, as regards the CCCB holdings, during the entire year, the CCCB Archive received 8,155 visitors, a similar figure to the previous year, and the Xcèntric Archive received 8,860. It is important to take into account that both archives were closed for six weeks.
Profile of the Exhibition Audiences In order to learn about the profile of the CCCB’s audience, regular surveys were carried out among visitors to the exhibitions. In relation with the five exhibitions of 2013, there were three that had a common point in terms of theme, as they focused on the figures of writers and artists: Roberto Bolaño, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Salvador Espriu, but with regard to the public they had different results. The exhibition “Pasolini Rome” had a higher percentage of visits from outside of Barcelona and over 50% of its visitors spoke French, English and other languages. In spite of everything, in all cases, people resident in the city of Barcelona continued to constitute the largest volume of visitors. The other two exhibitions had more visitors who were Catalan and Spanish speakers. “Espriu. I Looked Upon This Land” was the exhibition visited by the highest percentage of people who spoke Catalan, some 64%, and by a larger volume of people from municipalities from all around Catalonia. At all the exhibitions, the day with the highest volume of visits throughout the year was Sunday, followed by Saturday, except in the case of the exhibition on Espriu, which was Tuesday, a fact that can be explained by the large number of groups that visited it. With respect to ages, the two exhibitions that had audiences with the highest average age were “Paral·lel Avenue” and “Espriu”, while the “World Press Photo” exhibition was that with the lowest average age. In all cases, visitors came mainly on their own or accompanied by just one other person. Only the “World Press Photo” had a higher percentage of visitors that came accompanied by a group of friends (some 18%).
