The Complete Letters Filmed Correspondence Dates: 11 October 2011-19 February 2012 Venue: hall 2 Curator: Jordi Balló Space design: Guri-Casajoana arquitectes SCP Graphic design of the exhibition interior: Marc Valls Image and communication graphic design: Marnich Associates

The creative relationship between Víctor Erice and Abbas Kiarostami that developed for the exhibition “Erice-Kiarostami. Correspondences” created a new cinematographic format: the exchange of filmed letters between two filmmakers, considering affinities and differences, mutual respect and the simultaneity of their interests. Based on this experience, the CCCB invited other filmmakers to investigate this format and establish diverse variables of visual correspondence, understood as a reflection in the present on everything that motivates them in their surroundings, based on spaces for creative freedom. The exhibition “The Complete Letters” brought together these works involving exchanges between seven pairs of directors who worked on this experimental exercise. Duos of creators located in places distant from each other but united by the desire to share concerns and viewpoints. This was the case for Víctor Erice and Abbas Kiarostami, for Albert Serra and Lisandro Alonso, for Isaki Lacuesta and Naomi Kawase,

for Jaime Rosales and Wang Bing, for José Luis Guerin and Jonas Mekas, and for Fernando Eimbcke and So Yong Kim. These encounters generated a kind of films that are only fully understandable if presented in an exhibition space that must be juxtaposed and simultaneous, a return journey, where a sphere of new reflexive intimacy is created.

Global Screen Organisation: CCCB Production: CCCB and San Telmo Museoa, San Sebastian In collaboration with: MACBA Collaborating media: TVE and El Periódico

Dates: 24 January-28 May Venue: hall 3 Curatorship: Gilles Lipovetsky, Jean Serroy and Andrés Hispano Space design: Olga Subirós Graphic design: David Torrents, with the collaboration of Silvia Míguez

The exhibition “Global Screen” showed the power of the screen in all its guises: seduction, entertainment, creation of archetypes and models, information, communication, capacity to shock, interactivity, surveillance, etc.... Powers that, with technological advances, are continually renewed, augmented, and diffracted based on the initial format, that of the great cinema screen, to reach the current proliferation of screens. Screens present everywhere at every moment, screens that allow us to see and do everything: TV screen, video screen, touch screen, interactive screen, play screen, information screen, spy screen, etc. The screen has become a component element of hypermodern societies. It has also become the access gateway to the world. Not only do all aspects of everyday life pass through the screen, but relationships with urban life, culture and knowledge are tributaries of what screens articulate and transmit. And the phenomenon is still more powerful because it is globalised and instantaneous: the screen not only creates another world, one that is illusory and spectacular, but facilitates our access to it. Counterpoint

The “Global Screen” project developed a participatory mechanism of an open screen – a social screen – that we called the counterpoint and that was made up of the visual contributions of anyone interested in participating in this process of joint reflection regarding the role of screens in the

contemporary world. It offered a space open to creativity and people’s own vision of the subject, which acted as a counterpoint (counterpoint) to the discourse (viewpoint) of the exhibition’s curators.

More Photojournalism Visa pour l’Image-Perpignan in Barcelona 2012 Co-production: CCCB, Photographic Social Vision and Visa pour l’Image Under the patronage of: Fundació Banc Sabadell With the collaboration of: Alliance française and Institut Français Collaborating media: Ara and Time Out

Dates: 29 February-28 May Venue: hall -1 Curatorship: Photographic Social Vision Graphic design: Inés Casals

The CCCB and Photographic Social Vision presented a selection of four of the exhibitions from some thirty that formed part of the 2012 edition of “Visa pour l’Image”, the renowned international photojournalism festival that takes place each year in Perpignan: Martina Bacigalupo

My name is Filda Adoch The exhibition portrayed the day-to-day life of a woman from the Gulu district (Northern Uganda) and showed us the suffering of its inhabitants. For over twenty years this area has been affected by an armed conflict between the Ugandan army and the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) which many have qualified as “the world’s worst forgotten humanitarian crisis”. This work narrates a story of silent and admirable resistance. A Selection from Days Japan

Japan, March 2011 This selection from the magazine Days Japan featured the work of over 40 Japanese photographers on the consequences of the Tsunami, during the first month following the disaster. Yuri Kozyrev

On Revolution Road When the protests in the Arab world began to challenge the regimes in power, Yuri Kozyrev travelled to Egypt to document the situation there. He subsequently travelled to Bahrain and to Libya for two months as a special correspondent for Time Magazine. Yuri had already travelled to Yemen in December 2010. The photographs that he took reflect an apparent calm, belied by later events. 8

Narco Culture Beyond the statistics of deaths caused by drug trafficking, documented ad nauseam, far less has been said about the much broader social reality, despite it affecting millions of Mexicans and Latin Americans. For many, drugs traffickers represent the only possible model of fame and success. From the desire for power and money, drugs and violence, a new culture has emerged: narco culture.

Related activity To coincide with the first anniversary of the tsunami in Japan, on 11 March an open day was held at the exhibition. Entry was free of charge and there was a screening of the documentary Fukushima, zona de exclusión. Related audiovisual Soy cámara.

Souvenir Martin Parr, Photography and Collecting Graphic design of the exhibition interior: Estudio Mar Lissón Image and communication graphic design: TwoPoints.Net Organisation and production: CCCB

Dates: 29 May-21 October Venue: hall 2 Curatorship: Juan Pablo Wert Space design: Lali Canosa

This exhibition explored the work of Martin Parr as a prime illustration of the surprising relations between photography and collecting, within the context of the touristic experience. The exhibition linked photography and collecting in terms of the creative nature that they share: the act of choice-appropriation. However, the perspective adopted by the exhibition had a more sociological orientation given that it encompassed two forms of intervention within the context of tourism (we are not referring to the “tourist situation”, but to a set of permanent, more or less universal coordinates, that affect the ways of living of modern society). Photography as collecting

The photograph, what it captures and, therefore, is likely to be collected, are experiences. As Susan Sontag said, “collecting photographs is collecting the world. [...] Photographs are experience captured.” The photograph creates a fragmented reality, dissolves the unitary vision, and more importantly, endows everything it records with significance, situating in a plane of equality that which was previously considered beautiful and that which was not. In this sense, the exhibition also proposed a reflection on the meaning of the insignificant. Collecting as an identifying reflex of the collector, as a portrait, as a photograph

The exhibition brought together two collections, that of Martin Parr and that of Juanjo Fuentes. In both cases, we were dealing with compulsive collecting and with mass, systematic results in relation to a type of subject that it is difficult to define and interpret. The Fuentes collection

includes, without discrimination, an interesting selection of work by artists next to a set of banal decorative objects. The exhibition included a set of pieces, made from the photographic work of Martin Parr (self-portraits, the Small World series on the touristic experience, ex novo photographic work on Barcelona and tourism, photographs of the house of Juanjo Fuentes) and objects from his collection (Boring Postcards, souvenir objects, etc.), together with the collection of Juanjo Fuentes exactly as it is laid out at his home in Malaga.

Paral·lel Avenue emerged from the project to extend the city designed by Ildefons Cerdà. From its birth, a series of contradictory urban planning regulations facilitated the appearance of ephemeral buildings and the conversion of this street into a dense area of leisure and entertainment. The result was a leisure district for the masses, perfectly comparable to those existing in other major European urban agglomerations at that time, but that immediately became a genuine cultural expression of the social and political conflict that characterised the Barcelona of the early 20th century. Paral·lel Avenue generated shows with perfectly differentiated contents and formats, made up by the audience and the artists. The exhibition also explained how the new modalities of stage expression were configured based on two fundamental elements: the representation of ways of living in District V and of the social transformations and new value codes (for instance, a profound change in the social perception of sex); and penetration by foreign popular stage genres and their “nationalisation” based on the demand from new audiences. Paral·lel Avenue was also the place where the ideologies that moved political and trade union organisations of the popular classes were made manifest. Republicans, socialists and anarchists were scattered around the city and often had meeting places at the theatres, where sometimes political rallies were held in the mornings and shows (variety, cuplé, vaudeville, etc.) in the evening and at night. 10

modernitat

The list of artists that took inspiration from this area of the city, its venues and characters, is long and fuels the entire period covered by the exhibition: photographers Josep Brangulí, Gabriel Casas and Josep Sagarra; illustrators Ricard Opisso and Jaume Passarell; painters such as Picasso, Ricard Urgell, Francesc Domingo, Ricard Canals, Ramon Casas, Rafael Barradas, Emili Bosch Roger and Ismael Smith; and scenographers such as Joan Morales, Emili Amigó, Josep Castells, Lola Anglada and Oleguer Junyent, are, among others, prominent examples.

World Press Photo 12 International Professional Journalism Exhibition Dates: 28 November 2012-6 January 2013 Venue: hall 1 Organisation and production: Fundació Photographic Social Vision

Coproduction: CCCB With the collaboration of: The Catalan Government’s Office of Support for Cultural Initiatives Under the patronage of: Canon and Nationale Postcode Loterij

For the eighth year running, the Photographic Social Vision Foundation organised the exhibition “World Press Photo”, with the collaboration of the CCCB. The exhibition showed the 160 winning photographs of the international photojournalism competition, which in 2011 awarded its most important prize to Catalan photographer Samuel Aranda, for a photograph taken during the uprising in Yemen. Every year, an international jury formed by thirteen members chooses the winning photographs from among all those sent in by photojournalists, agencies, newspapers and photographers from around the world. The photographs participate in 10 categories: spot news, general news, people in the news, sports, sports features, contemporary issues, daily life, portraits, nature and arts and entertainment.

The exhibition of winning photographs can be seen each year in 80 cities in 40 countries, on the condition that all the works may be exhibited without any kind of censorship, which means that it offers documentalists the opportunity to present works sometimes censored by governments and by the media. The fact that thousands of visitors from around the world see this exhibition is evidence of the power of photography to overcome linguistic and cultural frontiers. “World Press Photo” constitutes an appointment with the events of the last year, and offers images for the collective memory, striking images that on numerous occasions have changed the course of history and public opinion.

Samuel Aranda #afterthespring

Dates: 28 November 2012 - 6 January 2013 Venue: hall -1 Curatorship: CCCB exhibitions department, Samuel Aranda and Mayte Carrasco Organisation and production: CCCB

This project was presented over a year after the so-called Arab Spring in which countries such as Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen shared an emancipatory and revolutionary spirit with which they managed to bring down their dictators. The traditional media cover such conflicts with an enormous deployment of technical and human resources at the height of the tensions but what happens after the news, when conflicts evolve and the countries involved have to live through difficult transitions or when these processes come to a standstill? Photographer Samuel Aranda (Santa Coloma de Gramenet, 1979) was awarded the World Press Photo Prize for the year 2011 for a shot taken in Yemen at the height of the uprising. But in this exhibition, subsequent images by Aranda were displayed, taken in Tunisia, Yemen, Libya and Egypt, the countries which he photographed first when they were in up in arms and which he returned to because of his personal interest in photographing “the peace” there. These countries have very different histories, cultural infrastructures and levels of socioeconomic development. We invited the photographer, Mayte Carrasco (war correspondent and specialist in the Arab uprisings) and different bloggers and journalists from these countries to strike up a 12

conversation about the tensions of the political transition: the problems of the refugees and displacements, the reconstruction of the towns, the economic crisis, the power of the Islamist parties, the channelling or suppression of the thirst for freedom that were revealed in the Spring Uprisings. Online space

A space for exchange and to experience and discover different points of contact between photojournalism and the blogosphere. The reflections of the bloggers and journalists involved were published on the website, which could be consulted both online and from the exhibition via touchscreens available to visitors and this remained active as a work in progress until the closing date of the exhibition (afterthespring.cccb.org/).

The eighth edition of The Influencers again brought to the public an unusual, intense and exciting festival that proposed experiments with communication, radical adventures and visionary experiences from the heart of the Information Society. On this occasion, the festival was a dizzying race between participative street art projects, acts of symbolic sabotage of Russian power, the energetic discourse of a post-religious preacher and digital folklore on the 2.0 networks. © Oriana Eliçabe, 2012

Participants included Evan Roth (USA), co-founder of F.A.T.; JR (France), with his worldwide project Inside Out; Jill Magid (USA) and the distortion of surveillance: the irreverent 16

BCNmp7 Music in process

Dates: 30 March and 20 April Programming: Jaime Casas and Laura Sangrà, José Antonio Bejarano Organisation: CCCB

The BCNmp7 season dedicated by the CCCB to creation and reflection on the present-day music scene closed 2012 with two sessions devoted to very different genres. The first, Recycled Culture, revealed how music has become the cultural paradigm of the revival or retro culture and how, despite that, reality shows that pop culture has used up all its sources and influences. Participants in the session included journalists Xavi Sancho and Desirée de Fez, musician Miqui Puig and fashion expert Robert Friedricht, who intervened in a round table after the screening of the exclusive interview with Simon Reynolds, author of the essay Retromania. Performers during the session included El Guincho DJ; Wau y los Arrrghs!, wild and festive rock’n’roll and punk from Valencia, and Fasenuova, post-industrial electronic music from Asturias inclined towards pop and hauntology.

The second session, Neocalorrisme. Rumba & Underground, reflected on the Barcelona rumba, which has not always been Olympic or even cross-cultural, but is also underground. “Neocalorrisme” defines those bands that, from the tradition of flamenco and rumba, and with a lot of rock baggage, fight to push back their borders in an attempt not just to blend but to assimilate and create their own sound, while reinstating almost forgotten artists. Participating in the session talking about Neocalorrisme and its origins were Txarly Brown and José Antonio Bejarano Pantanito, and music journalists Jordi Turtós and Luis Clemente. As the musical icing on the cake for this BCNmp7, DJ Txarly Brown offered an

introductory session on the turntables, that followed the special 10th anniversary concert by the band Pantanito

which featured a star-studded line-up.

Aula Xcèntric The Whole World is Watching!

It Felt Like a Kiss (Adam Curtis, 2009)

Dates: 11April-16 May Directed by: Andrés Hispano and Félix Pérez-Hita Organisation: Institut d’Humanitats and CCCB

A documentary essay workshop directed by Andrés Hispano (audiovisual producer and curator) and Félix Pérez-Hita (producer, scriptwriter and editor of videos and documentaries), designed for people that, in addition to watching, are interested in expressing their opinion and analysing in common some of the possible strategies for reading the global world through its images. Accompanied by talks by different speakers (Manuel Delgado, Jorge Luis Marzo and Ingrid Guardiola), the methods and styles of the main

producers covered –especially Adam Curtis and Errol Morris– were analysed.

With a different stage format open to any kind of proposal for defending and exchanging ideas, the First Person festival is one of the first stage proposals conceived especially for the CCCB Theatre. Designed by journalists, writers and cultural agitators Kiko Amat and Miqui Otero, the first event offered a particular view of the story narrated in the first person, through protagonists who were selected for the emotionally honest, pure, raw and when necessary humorous value of their stories.

The fourteenth OVNI audiovisual exhibition took the concept of “oblivion” as the backbone theme of an edition that proposed a look at the current situation of conflict, beyond the immediacy of the economic and the political. The OVNI Oblivion programme, in the form of an essay, offered a reflection on some of the more disturbing realities of our time; specifically, on the experience of the conflict with power and the imminence of an even greater confrontation that affects the very notion of civilization.

The 2012 project by Orquestra del Caos dismembered its programme into three sessions and proposed ZeppelinExpanded2012. The objective of this 2012 edition was the creation of work based on the recording of the sound heritage of Barcelona landscapes and limits. The Orquestra del Caos stored 20-minute sound takes from twenty specific locations at the municipal boundaries of the city and created the Barcelona Sound Limit database.

For the first session, Orquestra del Caos asked artist Lali Barrière to reflect and create the first sound piece based on these archives, which Barrière presented at a concert titled Zona Franca. At the October event, the collective wanted to pay tribute to John 20

Cage and Alan Turing to coincide with the centenary of their births with the session CageMixTuring, with a concert performed by the Irish Circus Live Electronics Ensemble. In the last session of the year, the sound art collective held its multifocal concert with the works received in the 2012 Competition and a concert by musician Paulo Hartmann. www.sonoscop.net

Barcelona Poetry XXVIII International Poetry Festival Date: 16 May Organisation: ICUB-Barcelona City Council With the collaboration of: CCCB

At this 2012 edition of Barcelona Poetry, the CCCB hosted two activities at the CCCB Theatre: No hay Parra tanto, an anti-tribute to Chilean poet Nicanor Parra, with the participation of Dúo Floret, Carles Hac Mor, Txalo Toloza and Martin Bakero; and Textures, an audiovisual recital by Mireia Calafell with Miguel Marín (musician) and Sebastià Puiggrós and Elka Mocker (audiovisuals).

Off-Programme Dates: 17 May, 7 and 9 June Organisation: CCCB

Off-Programme aims to detect, over the course of the year, audiovisual works produced from the sense of commitment and solidarity of their authors, and it also tries to enhance the screening with the presence of the authors or people directly involved with the theme. Stories The May session, organised within the context of European Alternatives Barcelona (www.euroalter.com), featured a screening of Històries (Stories), a production by the Cinémathèque de Tanger, which

includes a series of short films produced before the uprisings in the Arab world in 2011 and that reflect on the recent history of countries such as the Lebanon, Tunisia and Morocco. VES. Villa El Salvador and Territoris Intervinguts The June screenings were included within the International Women’s Film Exhibition of Barcelona. The first presented VES. Villa El Salvador. This film documents the story of this residential area which was born in 1971 on a desert, on a no-man’s-land, to the south of Lima, which was built

and developed through self-organisation over the course of three decades and which today houses over 400,000 people.

Virtues Barcelona Debate

Dates: 16 January-12 March Organisation: CCCB Under the patronage of: Endesa With the collaboration of: Consulate General of Mexico in Barcelona, Consulate General of Portugal in Barcelona, Consulate General of the United States in Barcelona, Editorial Crítica, Galaxia Gutenberg, Fondo de Cultura Económica, Lumen and Mondadori

Paradoxically, prosperity and welfare in recent years have not contributed to strengthening life in common, but rather have undermined its foundations by emphasising the tendency towards individualism, the discrediting of politics and disrespect for a sustainable balance between present and future. In this context, it seems more necessary than ever before to reflect on the classic democratic virtues, and, in consequence, on the common good and happiness. Now that everything that finally seemed solid has gradually disappeared, what remains standing is the question regarding what the world that we would like to inhabit is like and what virtues should structure collective life. Could we even think that the economic crisis is, to a great extent, the consequence of a great ethical failure? Is it possible to agree on a “moral minimum” that would be the heritage of all of us? How can we actively exercise citizenship? What values and what qualities would have to define civic virtues today?

This debate was set within the context of the line of permanent reflection on the human condition in the world today begun in the year 2005 with the series Passions (2005), and which continued with the debates on Life (2006), Meaning (2007), The Human Condition (2008), Impurities (2009), Thinking About the Future (2010) and Crisis (2011). The series was inaugurated with a lecture by Tzvetan Todorov (“Moderation”), and continued with papers given by Joanna Bourke (“Strength”), Claudio Lomnitz (“Dignity”), Salvador Cardús (“Patience”), Nancy Fraser (“Justice”), António Lobo Antunes and Juan Marsé (“Honesty”), Jacqueline Bhabha (“Courage”), Josep M.

After over ten years with a presence in the country, the majority of international troops will withdraw from Afghanistan in 2014. Last July a transition process began which envisages that the Afghan police and army will take sole charge of the country’s security in a gradual way. Is Afghanistan prepared for the withdrawal? Is this the correct strategy for leaving? What legacy will

the international community leave in the country?

In it Preston reconstructs the atmosphere of 1930s Spain, with the incubation of the hatred that exploded during the war and the eruption of violence that took place from 18 July 1936 until the early 1940s. He also details the massacres committed by Franco’s army during the course of its advance, the excesses of the Republican rear guard and the repression imposed by Franco following the end of the war.

Opinions as to the causes of the crisis and the best solutions to it are contradictory. Some think that Greece has become the testing ground for financial neo-colonialism, others consider that the austerity measures will only lead to an even more serious recession, while still others, in contrast, believe that this is the only way to overcome the crisis. What will the situation be after the elections of 6 May? What does the future hold for Greece? And for us?

The current economic crisis has dramatically highlighted the limitations of the European construction project outlined in the Lisbon Treaty. At the same time, it has given rise to many doubts regarding the concept of the European Union as a well-founded, wholly democratic and pluralist entity, leading the way in human rights and ever-growing social justice. The duration and depth of the crisis are engendering a spontaneous burgeoning of democratic protest movements, but also the growth of xenophobically-inspired political forces.

When we attempt to define human nature we tend to refer to features and behaviour that are products of the mind: language, conscience, emotions, etc. The mind/brain duality established by modern western science, influenced by the Christian distinction between body and soul, has been superseded by the discoveries of neuroscience and today we know that the two are inseparable. So, what happens in our mind when we are able to speak, create and be moved? What do we know about what really makes us human?

Within the context of the Year of Neuroscience, this debated proposed an approximation to the latest advances in neuroscientific research and its consequences for our conception of what defines us as human beings.

recent years. The book, with a foreword by Manuel de Solà-Morales, to

whose memory it is dedicated, is a good starting point for reflection on a city that Monteys helps us to see as a collaborative work of architecture and that identifies with “the people who use it, even just by looking at it”.

Mexico at War

Date: 13 September Organisation: Nuestra Aparente Rendición and CCCB

In recent years, violence in Mexico has reached levels as high as those of a civil war, even though the mass media and international institutions are reluctant to speak in such terms. In order to help explain the real situation in the country and show support to the victims and the Mexican civilian population, the CCCB and the Nuestra Aparente Rendición (Our Apparent Surrender) group joined this interna-

tional reading for Ciudad Juárez. The event, organised by the cultural group Escritores por Juárez, took place in 130 towns across 24 countries and four continents. During the session, the documentary “Silencio forzado” (Enforced Silence) by the Article 19 group, which chronicles the issue of the killings and violence against journalists in Mexico, was also screened. Finally, there was also a chance to view an

exhibition of handkerchiefs embroidered in different parts of the world in solidarity with the victims of this war. With the participation of Lolita Bosch, Aina Clotet, Sílvia Heras, Antoni Traveria, Rosa Novell and Alejandro Vélez.

Teju Cole Open City Date: 17 September Organisation: CCCB With the collaboration of: Acantilado, Quaderns Crema and Consulate General of the United States of America in Barcelona

As a photographer but also as a writer, Teju Cole’s gaze explores the city from often unusual viewpoints, focusing on whatever is slightly out of place, marginal, minority or simply different. At the CCCB, Cole read fragments from his novel Ciutat oberta (Quaderns Crema i Acantilado, 2012), and talked with writer Patricio Pron to share his experiences of New York, the city where he lives, and Lagos, the city of his childhood. He also reflected on how one can write about the city today, the

often invisible weight of history in the places that we inhabit and the figure of the contemporary flâneur. With the participation of Teju Cole and Patricio Pron.

Global Tourism, Souvenir Cities

Date: 20 September Organisation: CCCB

The tourism that we used to know, occasional in time and specific in territory, has now taken on a permanent and continuous dimension in cities. There is no corner or moment of urban life immune to the impacts of this phenomenon which has become, perhaps, the most significant feature of cultural globalisation. Undoubtedly, tourism has become one of the most powerful industries for many cities, but the use of public spaces, commercial fabrics, mobility patterns, urban consumption and even local identities are affected by its impact. The cities become laboratories of a new, vibrant urban sociology which is often poorly distributed between visitors and

inhabitants. Today Barcelona is a privileged urban testing ground where all these issues come together and explain how the global tourist imaginary has so strongly taken root in the city. To coincide with the exhibition “Souvenir. Martin Parr, Photography and Collecting”, this debate proposed a discussion on the risks and challenges that new tourism represents for cities, and specifically, for Barcelona. With the participation of Salvador Anton, Francesc Muñoz, Saida Palou, Octavi Rofes and Jordi Tresserras Juan.

Physis. From Elementary Particles to Human Nature 10th International Ontology Congress Dates: 8 and 9 October Organisation: Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universidad del País Vasco, Fundación Paideia, Chillida-Leku In cooperation with: Donostia International Physics Center

With the collaboration of: CCCB, Institut d’Humanitats, B·Debate International Center for Scientific Debate (Barcelona), Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Etxepare, Agaur Under the patronage of: UNESCO

Some findings of contemporary physics represent a genuine challenge to reason, clashing with our ideas about the mechanisms and laws that govern the world and, in consequence, they undermine our general conception about nature. In this emergence of a new natural philosophy, other disciplines are also playing a decisive role, such as genetics and neurobiology, today essential in attempts to provide answers to the eternal philosophical inquiry into human nature.

philosophers in discussion with some of the scientists who have been most prominent in this philosophical adventure in which contemporary science is now engaged. With the participation of Francisco J. Ayala, Alberto Cordero, Daniel Dennett, Salvador Giner, Simon Kochen, Ulises Moulines, Frank Wilczek and Anton Zeilinger.

These Barcelona sessions of the 10th International Ontology Congress, which was also held in San Sebastian from 1 to 6 October, addressed these problems in the company of eminent

Richard Peet Neoliberalism, Financial Capitalism and Crisis Date: 9 October Organisation: Icaria Editorial With the collaboration of: CCCB

Richard Peet gave this lecture on the occasion of the presentation of the book Richard Peet: Geografía contra el neoliberalismo, by Núria Benach (Icaria Editorial, 2012). Chair Professor of Geography at Clark University (Massachusetts, USA), Richard Peet is a reference point in international geographical thinking due to his commitment and political activism against injustice and inequality. He has produced an extensive body of work focusing on issues such as the geography of poverty, theories of development, the role of ideology and power in the strategies of international organisations. With the participation of Núria Benach, Joan Martínez Alier and Richard Peet.

Modern Ruins. A Topography of Lucre Presentation of the Book by Julia Schulz-Dornburg Date: 19 October Organisation: CCCB With the collaboration of: Àmbit Editorial

A debate organised on the occasion of the presentation of the book by Julia Schulz-Dornburg Ruinas modernas. Una topografía de lucro. This work, the result of over two years of research, is a photographic inventory of speculative construction in Spain and a witness to the destruction of the landscape caused by the abusive urban development of the territory. The recent mass introduction of leisure enclaves, tourist resorts and residential complexes of all kinds has transformed vast regions not only along the coast, but also in areas inland. The premature demise of many of these settlements illustrates the discrepancy between the short life of property speculation and the long-lasting physical damage it causes. With the participation of Pedro Azara, Josep Maria Benach, Francesc Muñoz and Julia Schulz-Dornburg. 42

Feeding the World Security and Sustainability in Global Food Production Dates: 22 and 29 October, 5 and 8 November Organisation: B·Debate International Center for Scientific Debate Barcelona and CCCB With the collaboration of: Consulate General of Switzerland in Barcelona

With the aim of contributing to the debate about our food model, the CCCB and B·Debate proposed this approach to the way the foods we consume are produced and how they impact on our health and on the environment. With the participation of Pere Arús, Enric I. Canela, Jesús Contreras, Wilhem Gruissem, Toni Massanés, Stefano Padulosi, Andreu Palou and Pere Puigdomènech.

In recent decades, food production has evolved into a complex system of industrial processes as a result of both need to supply an ever-growing population and because of the business prospects offered by new globalised markets. The growing distance between producer and consumer always brings us back to the same question: how must we feed ourselves? How far can we trust the products that we can buy on a daily basis? Can biotechnologies contribute to a food system that is healthier and socially fairer?

Amin Maalouf Literature and Return Date: 24 October Organisation: CCCB With the collaboration of: Alianza Editorial, Institut Français de Barcelona

The career of Lebanese writer Amin Maalouf has been recognised by means of numerous accolades, including the Príncipe de Asturias Prize for Letters, and he was recently named a member of the French Academy. On the occasion of the publication of his latest novel, Los desorientados (Alianza, 2012), the

author talked with writer Imma Monsó on this work which for him has meant a dual return. Firstly to fiction, as this is the first novel he has published after ten years of publishing essays; and secondly to his native land, his youth, and the emotions and ghosts of the past.

Within the context of the Raval(s) Festival, the Photographic Archive of Barcelona presented at the CCCB this event focusing on the Raval, with the screening of a selection of photographs from the exhibition “Consuelo Bautista. Raval”. The images of Consuelo Bautista offer a new look at the neighbourhood, and they served as a starting point for this session which included a debate on the current situation of the Raval and the role that the neighbourhood has always played in relation to the rest of the city. With the participation of Consuelo Bautista, Judit Carrera, Itziar González and Xavier Theros.

Citizenship, Internet and Democracy A New Public Sphere?

General disenchantment with the functioning of politics has coincided with an apparent revitalisation of the public space by means of the new digital media and social networks. Voices have proliferated, new relationships have been forged along with new spaces for exchange, and the old hierarchies in the production and dissemination of knowledge have been thrown into crisis. What kind of new public sphere is being constructed as a result of the changes in the media ecosystem? Can a constellation of small media or groups of citizens act as a real counterbalance to political and economic power? Will the voices that emerge in this new digital universe speak with sufficient prestige, independence, influence and dissemination to be able to generate real public 44

opinion? These are questions of maximum current importance on which prominent figures offered their views. With the participation of Samuel Aranda, Mayte Carrasco, James Curran, Anna Maria Guasch, Geert Lovink, Nicholas Mirzoeff, Evgeny Morozov, Leila Nachawati, Vicent Partal, Karma Peiró and Albert Sáez.

Francesco Indovina From Territorial Analysis to City Government

Date: 13 November Organisation: Icaria Editorial With the collaboration of: CCCB

Renowned Italian urban planner Francesco Indovina offered this lecture on the occasion of the presentation of the book Francesco Indovina: Del análisis del territorio al gobierno de la ciudad, by Oriol Nel·lo (Icaria Editorial, 2012). The central focus of Indovina’s work is the process of urban development, its origins, its forms, its potential and the contradictions and problems arising from it. His studies have given rise to different concepts and proposals for analysis, such as the widely used notions of “diffuse city” and “metropolitan archipelago”, which have made Indovina one of the most

influential Italian writers in the fields of urban planning and territorial analysis. However, his efforts are not limited to mere study, rather he seeks to provide keys to governing territory in a more efficient, sustainable and socially equitable way.

In the preceding months to this event, a wave of self-immolations among the Tibetan population once again reminded the world of the ongoing nature of the conflict in Tibet. The sparse news reaching us from Tibet, due to restrictions placed on access to the region since the 2008 uprisings, highlight the powerlessness of the Tibetan people faced with Chinese repression and the lack of solutions to their situation. With the excuse of abolishing a feudal society and making way for progress, for decades the Chinese authorities have carried out a strategy of cultural annihilation and political persecution that also conceals a struggle for the control of the region’s important natural resources. Within the context of the current isolation and

repression, the toughening of living conditions and the lack of expectations for the future have placed the Tibetan population on the edge.

With the participation of Abel Albet, Núria Benach, Antonio Font, Francesco Indovina and Oriol Nel·lo.

Tibet Silence and Revolt

serve to think about the void and the way – or not – of filling it. Space is where people carry out their diverse activities, from the most private, such as the place where they live, to the most collective and participative, such as the space assigned to exhibitions. These may be in closed environments, such as museums and galleries, or in urban or landscape contexts. Second edition of the Master’s Degree in Design and Production of Spaces, organised by the UPC School and the CCCB. Space is not unambiguous. Everyone has their own conception of space, whether interior or exterior, whether it is to be used as a habitat or to house an exhibition. It is evident that for each of these processes a different mentality is needed, with reference instruments that

The Master’s Degree in Design and Production of Spaces brings together different professional concerns, and is constituted based on two postgraduate programmes. One of these is Design of Interiors, in the professional sphere of interior design, a discipline with a brilliant tradition in Barcelona and that needs its own references. The second is the postgraduate programme The Exhibition Space which aims to tackle space as the meeting point between humankind and culture, within the

framework of creative museography. Taking the two postgraduate courses allows the Master’s diploma to be obtained. This programme was conceived by three directors who offer different, complementary visions. The vision of architecture, represented by Arnaldo Basadonna, architect and lecturer. The vision of structure, represented by Mario Corea, engineer and member of the CCCB’s assembly team, and the artistic vision, represented by Paco Pérez Valencia, painter, museographer and head of the Espacio Escala (Col·leccio Cajasol).

Metròpolis Master’s Degree and Postgraduate Programme Dates: May-July Organisation: IDEC-UPF and CCCB

Metròpolis is a master’s 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 current state of the cities, offering a space for advanced studies on the relationship between the social, cultural and architectural conditions of the cities. Within this context, each student develops an individual project lasting two years, is tutored by the programme’s teachers and benefits from seminars, conferences, 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 understanding of the complex forces that converge in the public space. This programme is directed by Xavier Costa, Dean for the College of Arts, Media and Design, North Eastern University, Antoni Luna, professor of Geography at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Suzanne Strum, architect.

The European Prize for Urban Public Space

European Prize for Urban Public Space Seventh Edition Date of award: 29 June Organisation: CCCB

With the collaboration of: The Architecture Foundation, Architekturzentrum Wien, Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine, Nederlands Architectuurinstituut, Museum of Finnish Architecture and Deutsches Architekturmuseum Under the patronage of: Copcisa, Abertis and Escofet

With this edition, the European Prize for Urban Public Space reached its seventh event. With the aim of promoting the public nature of urban spaces, as well as their capacity for social integration, the Prize is a biennial competition that recognises and promotes the creation, recovery and improvement of the public space, understanding its state as a clear indicator of the civic and collective health of our cities. In this edition, 347 projects were presented from thirty-six European countries (as compared with 301 projects from thirty-two countries in 2010), a fact which confirms the growth of this competition which has become a privileged lookout point for European urban planning.

The first Prize in this year’s event was awarded jointly to the projects “Renovation of the River Ljubljanica” (Ljubljana, Slovenia, 2011) and “Landscaping of the Hilltop Site of Turó de la Rovira” (Barcelona, 2011). There were also three special mentions for the projects “Exhibition Road” (London, 2011), “Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery” (Nantes, 2011) and “Annorstädes / Elsewhere / Ailleurs” (Malmö, Sweden, 2010), and a special category prize was awarded to the “Occupy Puerta del Sol” (Madrid, 2011). Participants in the Prize awards ceremony included representatives of the winning and mentioned projects: Janez Koželj and Rok Žnidaršič (Ljubljana), Francina Vila i Valls, Joan Roca, Imma Jansana and Jordi Romero (Barcelona), Mahmood Siddiqi (London), Julian Bonder (Nantes), and Tania Ruiz (Malmö). Josep Llinàs, chairman of the Jury, gave a speech at the end of the event, which was also attended by David Bravo, secretary of the Jury, Mr. Vicent Guallart, Chief Architect of Barcelona City Council, and the Hon. Mr. Salvador Esteve i Figueras, chairman of the CCCB Consortium and of Barcelona Provincial Council.

The jury of this seventh edition was made up of Josep Llinàs, as chairman, and David Bravo, as secretary (both representing the CCCB) and the directors of another six organising institutions: Juulia Kauste (Museum of Finnish Architecture), Ole Bouman (Nederlands Architectuurinstituut), Sarah Mineko Ichioka (The Architecture Foundation) Francis Rambert (Institut Français d’Architecture de la Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine), Dietmar Steiner (Architekturzentrum Wien), and Peter Cachola Schmal (Deutsches Architekturmuseum). As begun with the previous edition, the event enjoyed the collaboration of a broad committee of experts formed by interdisciplinary specialists from all over Europe who suggested to the organisation works of creation and improvement of the public space. The committee this year was formed by Zaš Brezar, Konrad Buhagiar, Viorica Buica, Cosmin Caciuc, Petra Ceferin, Matevž Čelik, Pelin Derviş, Elena Dimitrova, Vladan Djokic, Krzysztof Domaradzki, Susanne Dürr, Sándor Finta, Pedro Gadanho, Sanja Galic, Zaklina Gligorijevic, Hans Ibelings, Omer Kanipak, Igor Kovačević, Ivan Kucina, Rūta Leitanaitė, José Mateus, Ivan Mirkovski, Rusudan Mirzikashvili, Benoit Moritz, Maroje Mrduljas, Krzysztof Nawratek, Tom Nielsen, Shane O’Toole, Triin Ojari, Osamu Okamura, Ewa Porebska, Lena Rahoult, João Belo Rodeia, Ongjerth Richárd, Roman Rutkowski, Artan Shkreli, Hjálmar Sveinsson, Fran Tonkiss, Maria Topolcanska and Ken Worpole. 50

Each year the Prize is accompanied by a touring exhibition that highlights prize-winning and runner-up projects. At this edition, the exhibition also presented the documentary Europa Ciudad, a co-production by the CCCB and TVE2 premiered in 2012, that deals with the European city model. For the first time, the exhibition crossed the frontiers of Europe and was presented at the Centro de Desarrollo Cultural de Moravia in Medellín from 4 October to 30 November, where it began a tour around different Latin American cities. In parallel, at the Centre Méridional de l’Architecture et de la Ville de Tolosa, where it was presented from 15 December 2012 to 16 March 2013, the exhibition also began a tour series set to take it to various European cities.

CCCB LAB

CCCB Lab The CCCB Lab devotes its endeavours to research, transformation and innovation in the cultural sphere, placing special emphasis on the evolution of genres and formats in a changing scenario where art, science, information and knowledge are becoming the structural backbones of a new world, a new economy and a new society. The Lab’s objectives are the dissemination and praxis of cultural innovation, the creation and consolidation of networks, research and innovation into virtual scenarios, the learning and design of participation processes, the transformation of work methodologies and the study of digital humanities. In 2012 deeper inroads were made towards these objectives through processes, network and platforms that favour the new dynamics of creation, production and post-production. The

workshops, conferences, meetings, alliances and projects defined a cartography under construction and the progressive visualisation of new territories for individual and collective creation.

shared and this community is built. During the year 2012 a total of 36 posts were published and 24,097 visits were received, from a total of 14,083 unique users (2,624 more than the previous year).

Part of the CCCB Lab’s task consists of working in a cross-departmental way with the rest of the Centre’s departments. In recent years we have created the virtual platform of the “Global Screen” exhibition, and we have collaborated on the website for parallel routes, and given support to the digital coverage of the series To the Origins of the Human Mind and Citizenship, Internet and Democracy, among others.

The social networks also played an important role in disseminating the CCCB LAB’s activities as well as it its own development, and they allowed interaction from all around the world. The account @cccblab on Twitter has 10,257 followers and its Facebook page has 1,631 fans. Proof of the importance of 2.0 tools in the activities of CCCB LAB is the fact that 18% of blog users enter it via one of the social networks.

Global Screen. Virtual Platform Dates: all year round Organisation: CCCB With the collaboration of: San Telmo Museoa, San Sebastian

In 2012 the CCCB presented the exhibition “Global Screen”. Curated by Gilles Lipovetsky, Jean Serroy and Andrés Hispano, the exhibition explored the power of screens in the hypermodern society and how this power is renewed, grows and is diffracted with each new technological innovation. In line with the theme of the exhibition – and consistent with one of its lines of work, the CCCB conceived the “Global Screen” virtual platform, a digital platform that aims to encourage the public’s participation and give visibility to the phases of work involved in exhibitions that generally remain out of sight. 52

The “Global Screen” virtual platform was launched in October 2011. Coinciding with the inauguration of the physical exhibition, in January 2012, the virtual exhibition was launched online, constructed by the viewpoint, inspired by the discourse of the curators, and the counterpoint, and created using the 327 videos sent in by the contributors during the first phase (incubation). The presentation of the exhibition constituted the project’s second phase and it consisted of its adaptation to the virtual environment. The third or post-exhibition phase of the project began with it travelling to San Telmo Museoa (San Sebastian), with the creation of a public repository for contents generated during the

process and with the aim of consolidating an open platform for reflection and research into the mutations of the audiovisual ecosystem in the 21st century. The platform received 43,347 visits (around 140 visits per day) from 17,606 unique users. pantallaglobap.cccb.org

I+C+i Research and Innovation in the Cultural Sphere

Dates: 24 February, 21 March, 25 April, 27 June, 19 September Organisation: CCCB In collaboration with: Fundación Telefónica, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Amical Viquipèdia, ICUB-Barcelona City Council, Institut de Recherche et Innovation du Centre Pompidou (IRI)

I+C+i, the visible window of the CCCB Lab, is a series of discussions that tackles the integration of processes of research, development and innovation within the world of culture. Based on four thematic blocks (Crisis and Transformation of Formats, Programming Concepts, Dissemination and Communication of Cultural Projects and Dynamics of Innovation), these sessions tackle dilemmas that have emerged from cultural praxis and the process of change to which all the cultural institutions and traditional agents for knowledge transmission are subject. During 2012, this I+C+i series was attended by 432 participants and it continued experimenting with new formats to offer more practical sessions that allow for better interaction with the audience and in-depth study of the issues that have structured this series since its creation in 2007: Our Life Online

The first I+C+i session in 2012 carried out a critical exploration of software policies, the notion of identity on the social networks, and the impact of the simulation caused by new artificial life applications. Participants: Naked on Pluto, Gerald Kogler, Jussi Parikka, Pau Waelder, Aymeric Mansoux and Mónica Bello. An Educational Revolution?

A workshop and discussion where digital creators concerned with “creative education” asked themselves: How could we take advantage of digital technologies to educate in and for creativity? How could they help us to develop an education

that encourages exploration and creation? Are we facing a necessary revolution or would it be enough for us to be aware that education must always be in constant evolution? Participants: Sergi Jordà, Nik Gaffney, Lali Bosch and Musical Technology Group of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. The Value of Free Knowledge

Traditionally libraries and archives have been the guardians of knowledge on physical media, validated by authorised opinion leaders. Internet and the new digital tools are causing an accelerated change in this system of transmission and conservation of knowledge. The rebirth of concepts such as “commons”, “free knowledge” and “collective intelligence”, etc., added to the success of an open encyclopaedia such as Wikipedia, raises decisive questions on the way in which we will manage knowledge and memory in the coming decades. Participants: Amical Viquipèdia, Àlex Hinojo, Luis Ángel Fernández Hermana, Marc Garriga, Vincent Puig and Karma Peiró. Lab Cities

The metaphor of the city as a laboratory has found a rich vein to mine for its component of urban and cultural experimentation, a strategy that Barcelona seems to be considering. What form do these new city laboratories take? What relationship do they have with digital culture? Are they planned, organic forms of growth? How can a city 53

orchestrate its transformation in a way that includes its citizens? Will Barcelona be a city lab? Will it be a network of laboratories, or will it once again opt for a major laboratory installation? Participants: Laura Forlano, Ramón Sangüesa, Irene Lapuente, Inés Garriga, Antoni Nicolau and CoCreating Cultures. Apps for a New Culture

Applications for mobile devices are spreading at a dramatic rate due to the widespread acceptance of smartphones and digital tablets. How can apps affect our society? Are these apps just a passing technology or are they here to stay? A debate about the current situation of applications for mobile devices, development tendencies and the ways in which such technologies affect our society.

The I+C+i Blog

I+C+i recognises that 2.0 tools have a potential that reaches beyond communication, an attitude that may transform internal processes and the relationship with the public. Over the course of 2012 (data from November 2012), the I+C+i blog received 16,029 visits from 10,698 unique users. Noteworthy is the importance of the visitors from Latin America, who make up 30% of the web visits, and this shows the impact of the Latin America-Europe Cultural Ring. We have made the blog a repository for this series since its creation, a space where all the information related with each session is stored, creating an I+C+iPedia. This includes: digitalisation of all the debates and interviews available, material for expanding contents, coverage of the debate online for each session, etc. All the material can be consulted searching by year, subject or participant, and it is also accessible via the CCCB Archive. www.cccb.org/icionline/

we previously called the public in relation to the museum. The third edition was held in Barcelona and brought together 350 museum professionals from 34 countries, with the CCCB Theatre as the main venue. It was structured into four main conferences, with thirty presentations and two workshops based around three main themes: participation, digital marketing and challenges for the future.

MuseumNext is the most important European conference on social networks, new technologies and museums, which reflects on how technology can change the role of what 54

Among the speakers at the main conferences were: Nancy Proctor (Smithsonian Institution) who gave the keynote inaugural lecture, Hein Wils (Stedelijk Museum) & Ferry Piekart (freelance consultant) who spoke about augmented reality, Robin Dowden and Nate Solas (Walker Art Centre) who spoke on the radical and revolutionary change they made on their website and Jason daPonte (Swarm) who spoke about mobile technology experiences.

Online coverage

The CCCB Lab, as well as participating in the selection committee, carried out online coverage of the event which it brought together on a single page: streaming of the main conferences, interviews with participants, summaries of the sessions in three languages and coverage on Twitter through the @ cccblab and @cececebe accounts. This page received a total of 2,262 visits, of which 1,205 corresponded to 24 May. Proof of the conference’s international impact lies in the fact that half of the visits were from outside Spain: USA, UK, Netherlands, Japan and Europe were the main sources abroad. A total of 6,773 tweets were generated using the #museumnext hashtag. www.cccb.org/lab/ museumnextcoverage/

Latin America-Europe Cultural Ring The Latin America-Europe Cultural Ring (Anilla Cultural Latinoamérica-Europa) is a network of cultural facilities located in different countries that also has as its objectives, the activation of co-production of events online, promoting lines of research into new uses of the network 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.

The exhibition “Global Screen”, the international congress MuseumNext and the festival Cruces Sonoros (promoted by Chile with the participation, among others, of Orquestra del Caos), were the 2012 projects chosen as a platform for new exchanges in the Cultural Ring. www.anillacultural.net

The centres that form part of it (Centro Cultural Sao Paulo, Museo de Antioquía, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de Chile, Centro Cultural España-Córdoba and the CCCB) were joined in 2012 by the Infoart project of Montevideo.

cccb lab NETWORKED CENTRES

Institut de Recherche et d’Innovation (IRI) In 2008, the CCCB, together with Microsoft, joined forces with the Institut de Recherche et d’Innovation (IRI), created in 2006 by the Centre Georges Pompidou and directed by philosopher Bernard Stiegler. This is a space for research related with the application of new technologies in the creation, production and formalisation of cultural activities.

Activities in 2012 focused on the treatment of the digital archives of the CCCB, the challenges of the education system before the impact of new technologies, and in-depth study into the knowledge of digital humanities, and continued with the workshops, case studies and discussions held at the I+C+i session in November 2011.

The main aims of the CCCB’s involvement range from the evolution of its presence on the Internet to the creation of an authentic “virtual CCCB”, interactive dissemination and improved use of the contents accumulated over the Centre’s fifteen years of history, intensification of relations between the CCCB and its users, as well as the renovation of formats and procedures.

Co-Creating Cultures Co-Creating Cultures draws together a group of professionals around processes of joint creation. For the year 2012 it proposed the following lines of action: Publication of the results of the A+C+C project: a group that emerged from the I+C+i workshops organised in 2010, and which has researched processes of co-creation in culture, to focus on the study of cases led by cultural institutions. During this time very rich material has been gathered, analysed, discussed and articulated and this was set to be given the form of a book and an electronic publication during the course of the year. Co-Creation workshops for the cultural sector: organisation of Co-Creation workshops for professionals in the cultural sector. These focused on the sharing of methods of open co-design and strategies of participation

of different agents, including the public. Following the trend started with the 2011 event, international professionals of prestige were invited to present techniques, methods and especially relevant cases. co-creating-cultures.com/

Crowdfunding and Distributed Collaboration Platform The objectives of the crowdfunding platform Goteo.org for 2012 were: Hosting 70 open-DNA projects and helping them to seek collective financing and distributed collaborations. Consolidating a network of 50 experts who can provide online advice for the projects and their different aspects (communication, production, internationalisation, economic and legal aspects, publication of free or open results, etc).

Search for “venture capital” for the projects promoted on Goteo.org: sponsorship by companies and public bodies, that complement the funds raised through crowdfunding via the Fundación Fuentes Abiertas. Tour of the workshop on crowdfunding. www.goteo.org

Developing new functionalities for the platform (statistics, new micro-payment systems, distributed evaluation of projects).

Zzzinc #masacritica

#masacritica is a collective research project led by ZZZINC that analyses the different genealogies of the concept “mass”. The project contemplates the accounts and ideas that are to be found behind concepts such as “crowd”, “social psychology”, “group brain”, “collective intelligence”, “social mass”, “social movements”, “social innovation” and discourses that originate from different fields, but that articulated with each other, allow better analysis of

what happens when different people join together in a coordinated way. Collective social processes have an ambivalent nature: they may be productive or unproductive, transforming or dragged along by inertia, moderate or radical. It is these features that endow them with complexity; therefore, special attention needs to be paid to the set of perspectives under which they have been analysed.

capsules in which some questions are raised regarding a sphere of interest for the research. These capsules serve as context for a series of public activities that allows creation of an archive of interviews, talks, collective reflections, etc., which are the raw material for a documentary with which the research will be completed.

www.zzzinc.net/masacritica

During 2011, work has been done on such concepts as “crowdsourcing”, “crowdfunding”, “emergence” and “self-organisation”. For 2012, interviews and activities were organised based on social innovation, human disbanding and collective processes of political action. The methodology for developing the project focuses on the editing of video

Mozilla Foundation Webcrafter Labs Webcrafter labs are physical and virtual spaces, where developers, fans of user interfaces, educators, children, digital creators (of films or music) and librarians can meet to understand how the web works and, furthermore, create, using the new open-source technologies. The web as a platform offers many opportunities, above all for people who up to now did not have the technological knowledge necessary to use it. In this lab the aim is to dissolve this divide between web technology and citizens, by proposing a series of activities created by the Mozilla community, such as Hackasaurus (www.hackasaurus. org) and Popcorn (www.mozillapopcorn.org).

The scenario of this laboratory is developed through a series of phases: Pre-lab phase: workshops with facilitators and other communities, to create an agenda and curriculum in a collaborative way. Experimentation phase: initiation and experimentation activities focusing on work with facilitators for a restricted group of people. Lab: open to a broad number of people, both in the physical and the virtual world (using online technologies such as P2PU or the open platform make. mozilla.org).

CCCB Education

The CCCB’s educational offering is formed by 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 – where work, experiences and educational resources can be shared.

The aim of the CCCB’s educational offering is to explore relations between the activities programmed by the Centre, its archive and the cultural life of the city, placing special emphasis on education centres.

CCCB Education The Website cccbeducacio.org

The Website cccbeducacio.org A Platform for Knowledge, Dissemination, Training and Participation The website www.cccbeducacio.org set a clear objective from the very start: to complement the virtual network that already exists with a new space on which to focus the participation of outside people and groups whose centre of interest and activity is education and who, in this sense, echo the cultural life of the city. The cccbeducacio.org website aims to be a useful instrument for this dimension that we consider specific for a contemporary cultural centre, which not only programmes but also remains alert to relevant outside initiatives. The cccbeducació.org platform offers a meeting point for all those projects and programmes that seek a harmonious balance between education and culture. First of all, the project has based itself on a very open conception of the terms “culture” and “education” – which means that it has not been restricted by any specific programming, nor reduced to the purely school sphere, as a sole educational reference. Secondly, it has been able to focus on the aspect that is always most difficult, the existing relationship between these two areas: culture and education – which in institutional terms have spent many years turning their back on each other. Finally, and perhaps as a consequence of everything else, it has not forgotten the angle of international references that allow a broad perspective to be maintained with regard to the current speed of change being experienced by our world today. In this sense the backing that the CCCB has always given to the internationality of its programme is a basic ingredient that has ensured that cccbeducacio.org has maintained this initial component that configures it. If we now talk of cccbeducacio.org as an in-house programme of the CCCB, it is because we believe that it gives evident signs of the interest of its aims. The CCCB now has an archive with a growing number of projects based around the culture/education relationship that allows it, or could allow it, to programme with a greater capacity for influencing the surrounding environment. Meanwhile, the city’s education centres, understood in the broadest sense, have access to a mechanism for citizen participation that was non-existent up to now; they not only compare and coordinate among each other but also with the CCCB and through it with an ever-growing reference universe.

Objectives for a new phase in the Centre’s educational service

The functioning of this platform is based on five objectives: To make an education-oriented reading of the Centre’s activities, in such a way as to make the knowledge and opinion of its programmers (from the CCCB itself and external) surface, as well as the documentation available in the CCCB’s archives, giving it a useful form that offers user-friendly access for the educational community. To carry out specific research on the presence of the issues tackled by the CCCB’s activities in programmes and projects already functioning within the cultural-educational sphere. The objective is to incorporate them into the archive of participations of cccbeducacio.org and make them thus accessible to users in general and the programmers themselves in particular. To consider the virtual Archive of participations as the hard core of cccbeducacio.org, in the same way that the documentary Archive is that of the CCCB. This virtual archive has gradually been constructed as a consequence of the programming, it has to be extended and consolidated with the perspective of becoming the origin of new proposals that may be born as a result of co-creation work. To maintain permanent and global attention to all the themes present in this archive that, in synthetic form, were specified in the following areas: image, space, word, memory and eco-cyber-bio. Any specific programming prioritises some aspects over others of this thematic window, but only a clear awareness of the central importance of this archive can sustain its harmonious growth and manage to make it a reference point with regard to the relationship between education and culture. To take into account the important role that the presence of Twitter has on the first page of the website. Its content must respond at the same time to an education-oriented reading of the CCCB’s programming, to the dissemination of contents from the archive of participations on the website cccbeducacio.org, and the monitoring of qualitatively interesting current issues relating to education and culture without any kind of restrictions. All this, within a close relationship of a complementary nature with the Centre’s other Twitter profiles: @cececebe, @CCCBLab, @Kosmopolis_CCCB and also: @PantallaGlobal and @ publicspaceCCCB.

CCCB Education Activities

Visits to the Exhibitions During the year 2012, CCCBeducació has offered visits with commentaries to the following exhibitions: “The Complete Letters. Filmed Correspondences”, “Global Screen”, “More Photojournalism. Visa pour l’Image Perpignan in Barcelona 2012”, “Souvenir. Martin Parr, Photography and Collecting” and “Paral·lel Avenue, 1894-1939. Barcelona and the Spectacle of Modernity”.

The offering of visits with commentaries was for both school groups, at all levels, and adult groups alike. As for school visits, the exhibition “The Complete Letters” was attended by 249 students, above all from the second cycle of secondary education, sixth form and also college training courses. The exhibition “Global Screen” had more group visits, with 1,293 visitors, mainly sixth form groups followed by college training groups and secondary education pupils. The exhibition “More Photojournalism” also had an important volume of visitors attending in groups (1,261), including 11 secondary school groups, 7 sixth form groups and 13 college training course groups. The

exhibition “Souvenir” was visited by 919 people in groups, many of whom were sixth form students and students from college training courses. And at the start of the exhibition “Paral·lel Avenue, 1894-1939”, a total of 1,498 people visited it in groups. In this case there were visits by more educational levels than for the other exhibitions and above all by groups of adults, especially groups of elderly people.

Tedxramblas Date: 16 February Organisation: CCCB and Asociación Espiral, Educación y Tecnología

Turbulent, unstable, mercurial times. Times of change with echoes of revolution in distant countries but also in others that are dramatically close. Amid the flotsam there are people who believe that ideas introduce colour to the black and white panorama that surrounds us.

This was the thread running through TEDxRamblas 2012, the colour introduced by the different brushstrokes of proposals presented by a series of speakers, each from a different viewpoint (engineering, architecture, medicine, education of course, art, economics, communication, etc.) but all with a common denominator: to offer positive proposals to change society by means of education.

Specific, realistic and practicable suggestions for a change of paradigm in education. The idea was that education has to be the foundation on which the bases are laid for improving people’s quality of life. www.tedxramblas.com/

CCCB EDUCACIÓn ACTIVIdades

Photographic Spaces Workshop at the MACBA and at the CCCB Dates: starting in November Organisation: MACBA and CCCB

For the first time the MACBA and the CCCB have developed a joint activity to propose a creative and thought-provoking discovery of photography through an activity that links the analysis of photographs with own photographic creation.

The activity unfolds over two major phases. Firstly work is done on the MACBA holdings, seeing photographs by David Goldblatt, Manolo Laguillo, Xavier Miserachs and Allan Sekula among many others. We look at them with eyes of photographers and they will inspire the subsequent practical work. Next, the exploration and photographic research of the MACBA and CCCB spaces, indoors and outdoors, and their close surroundings, in a practical project that puts into play some of the most essential choices in photography (framing, composition, light).

The workshop, therefore, is structured as a triple exploration: of the photographic heritage, the museum’s collections and the methods of archiving and conservation; of the expressive choices of photography; and of the buildings of the MACBA and the CCCB, and the Raval neighbourhood The photographs taken are published on the website www.fotografiaencurs.org, creating in this way a photographic archive and a visual cartography of the buildings and the neighbourhood. The Photographic Spaces workshop is an activity run jointly by the MACBA and the CCCB within the context of Fotografia en curs, an A Bao A Qu programme.

Ciutat Beta Ciutat Beta puts into play processes and innovative tools for social action. A space for exploring the city in which we live and, with an interdisciplinary perspective, from where to generate and put to the test creative solutions for specific regional needs. Ciutat Beta aims to facilitate open work processes that lead to innovative proposals that may resolve specific problems of cities. There have been 3 workshops held as spaces for meeting, working and researching, as part of a dialogue with the environment that favours the circulation of people and ideas. Urban Fabric Workshop, 10 October

Paco González Gil, David Pinto and Òscar Martínez Ciuró, discussed how

city peripheries generate areas of inequalities and how increasingly their frontiers are more blurred. How can we intervene in such areas? Participation Workshop. Play. Play City, 13 November

Josep Maria Allué and Òscar Martínez Ciuró showed how play is an excellent resources for mediating between the urban environment and its inhabitants making them aware of their power to transform it, establishing links and building community as well as making evident the capacity and right to act on it to make it a space for positive coexistence. Collective Culture Workshop, 18 December

worked form the perspective of concepts such as “co-city”, and “third spaces”. New models are appearing in labour relations, entrepreneurs, coworking, crowdsourcing, that change the forms of the raw material from atoms to bites. Common spaces are used as work spaces. Think tanks are created, along with new processes such as collaborative working and open innovation. How do we create new work spaces? How does that affect citizens? How can we make these processes include the citizens and organisations that intervene in them? An idea that emerged from the Association of Educators and Social Educators of Catalonia.

CCCB EDUCATIOn Urban Itineraries

Urban Itineraries © Jordi Gómez, CCCB, 2013

For another year the CCCB presented its programme of urban itineraries, maintaining the principle of discovering the city based on its urbanistic and social changes. In 2012 an itinerary around the Paral·lel Avenue was included to coincide with the exhibition “Paral·lel Avenue, 1894-1939” and a pair of bicycle itineraries were inaugurated that aim to explore a more extensive circuit around the city.

Barcelona. City, cities Itineraries on Foot Dates: all year round Organisation: CCCB

El Poblenou: The Reinvented City

The transformation of the Poblenou begun over fifteen years ago is starting to acquire a defined profile. The offices and facilities linked to new technologies coexist with new parks, housing, schools and shops. Is the 22@ a good example of urban reinvention? Could it become a model? What is the price that the traditional Poblenou – its residents, local commerce, association activity, productive sector – has had to pay to facilitate this transformation? Asking ourselves these questions and others, and looking for the answers, brings us closer to the history of Poblenou, its present and new proposals for its future. El Raval: The Cosmopolitan City

In recent years the Raval has undergone a surprising urban and human transformation. The changes in the resident population have created a new reality with new challenges and new perspectives. Currently the neighbourhood is a heterogeneous mosaic where we can find remains from the past and avant-garde architectures, traditional businesses and others linked to new immigration, art galleries, museums, public spaces of quality and tourists from all the continents, neighbourhood facilities and university centres, etc. And in this urban space undergoing constant transformation, we can see the visible heartbeat of a district that lives with intensity all the uncertainties, contradictions and possibilities that define our present. L’Eixample. The Form of the City

If Barcelona has one clear form, then it is, undoubtedly, the Eixample. This itinerary compares the project for a new city formulated by Cerdà with the reality today and shows us which features have survived, which represent something new, what are the most outstanding changes and how the original urban fabric has adapted to the new social, economic and tourism needs. This itinerary proposes the passing from Cerdà’s idea of the Eixample to its modern-day configuration.

Paral·lel Avenue. From the Raval to Poblesec

In the early 20th century, Paral·lel Avenue became the pole of attraction for mass culture and a privileged mirror of society. In this itinerary we ask ourselves three questions that will help us to understand its role. Why did a new area of centrality directly related with the world of entertainment develop on Paral·lel? Why did the shows presented on Paral·lel have such a mass appeal? Why did we know so little about all those artists, creators, promoters, writers etc., that made the Paral·lel one of the most popular places in Catalonia? As we follow this itinerary we talk about these issues and also about the present situation of the Avenue and its possibilities for the future. The itinerary was complemented by a visit to the exhibition. Apart from these itineraries, the offering for schools includes two more that are followed partially by coach: Besòs: From Frontier to Public Space

The River Besòs has maintained historically intense relations with the towns around it. Cerdà, at the height of the 19th century, took his project for the Eixample right up to its banks. Today the Besòs acts as an agent of metropolitan urbanity of the first order, configuring a public space that allows the common identification of a set of towns and makes possible, in turn, urban continuity in a place where previously there was a marginal frontier. Llobregat: New Metropolitan Axis

The Llobregat continues to be an essential river for the entire territory that it crosses: for the urban fabric that surrounds it, the delta that it generates, the economy that moves around it. An example of this is the fact that a large part of the water used by Barcelona and its metropolitan environment for food and personal hygiene still comes from the Llobregat. However, our visit to the river – from Sant Joan Despí to its arrival at El Prat – has a broader vision and aims to analyse its role as a fundamental pillar of the territorial and economic axis of this sector of the metropolitan city.

Urban Itineraries on a Bike A New Proposal from the CCCB Dates: Second half Organisation: CCCB Approximate distance toured by bike: 12 Km

La Sagrera-Sant Andreu-Sant Martí. Three Districts Undergoing Transformation

In the La Sagrera area, the largest urban transformation project in the city is underway, with the construction of the major new rail station for the High-Speed Train and the incorporation of a large linear park from the Pont de Bac de Roda to Nus de la Trinitat. The route runs around this sector, firstly above it and then below it. It begins in the El Clot district to head towards La Sagrera and Sant Andreu. In Sant Andreu we visit two noteworthy operations: the Casa Bloc, designed as a working-class housing model under the Republican Catalan Government, and the new neighbourhood under construction, on the site previously occupied by the Military Barracks of Sant Andreu. Upon arrival at Passeig de Santa Coloma and the Nus de la Trinitat, we head back towards the starting point along Bon Pastor, La Verneda and Sant Martí.

From Montgat to the Barceloneta. A Variety of Seafronts

We start with the transfer from the centre of Barcelona on the local train network to the stop at Montgat (Les Mallorquines neighbourhood). From Montgat to the River Besòs, it is worth noting the alternation between consolidated urban facades and industrial sectors situated close to the seafront. Highlights are the Rambla de Badalona: the maritime façade of the city’s old centre. Also the power station complex at Sant Adrià de Besòs with its three chimneys. Once the Besòs has been crossed, two completed urban design projects serve to date the transformation of Barcelona’s urban seafront. The Fòrum (2004) and the Vila Olímpica (1992). Poblenou, situated in between them, has also gradually moved closer to the sea. The route ends at the Barceloneta: the port and maritime neighbourhood of the city since it was founded in the 18th century. Today it is adapting to the new challenge represented by the arrival of mass leisure and tourism.

Un espai per a la memòria emocional

Total visits: 9 Total visitors: 115 The CCCB Alzheimer Programme has carried out other activities and actions over the course of 2012. Highlights included the screening, on Friday 20 April in the CCCB’s Auditorium, of the television programme Soy cámara titled La memoria externa which explains the role that cultural institutions need to play to facilitate accessibility to culture for all people and particularly, for people affected by Alzheimer. The programme also covers the experience of the CCCB Alzheimer Programme. Subsequently, La memoria externa was broadcast by TVE’s La 2. At present it can be viewed on the CCCB and the RTVE websites. Throughout the year the CCCB Alzheimer Programme established synergies with many other institutions and organisations such as the Association of Families of Alzheimer Patients of Barcelona, the “Jardinets” Centre in Hospitalet, the Association of Families of Alzheimer Patients of the Maresme, the National Archive of Catalonia and the Catalan Government’s Social Welfare Department. The activity, which forms part of the CCCB’s social programme, is held on one Monday each month. Visits can be booked by writing to alzheimer@cccb.org

Gangs Of The 80S. Cinema, Press And The Street In Bilbao Curators: Mery Cuesta, Amanda Cuesta Production: Gecesa La Casa Encendida and CCCB Organisation: La Alhóndiga Centro de Arte y Cultura, Bilbao and CCCB

Following its presentation at the CCCB in the year 2009, and at La Casa Encendida in Madrid, the exhibition’s tour season began in the halls of the Centro de Historia de Zaragoza in late 2010 to finish at Alhóndiga Bilbao from 27 October 2011 to 8 January 2012. The crisis has rocked our comfortable status quo, dragging us through a delicate social situation which requires reflection. To analyse this situation, AlhóndigaBilbao took as a starting point the exhibition “Gangs of the 80s. Cinema, Press and the Street” to tackle, from a multidisciplinary angle, the situation that Spain lived through in the crucial decades of the seventies and the

eighties, and accompanied it with a series of parallel activities that it called “The cry on the street”, where it analysed from a present-day viewpoint this collective catharsis. An inaugural concert by La Venta de Borja; an audiovisual series, several debating sessions and a workshop were programmed in parallel. Along with the tour, the exhibition had an important repercussion: author Javier Cercas declared that the CCCB’s exhibition had been the starting point and inspiration for his latest novel Les lleis de la frontera.

Cosmopolis. Borges and Buenos Aires In Buenos Aires Curatorship: Juan Insua Production: CCCB Organisation: Casa de la Cultura, Ministry of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires and CCCB

The Ministry of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires and the CCCB presented the exhibition “Cosmopolis. Borges and Buenos Aires” at the exhibition space of La Casa de Cultura from 4 July 2011 to 30 June 2012. Few writers have got to know their city as well as Borges did. Buenos Aires was for him the place he was born, his inspirational muse and his cosmic obsession. The project tries to follow this web of invisible threads that the work of Borges suggests through successive readings, and makes an adaptation of it based on the exhibition “Cosmopolis. Borges and Buenos Aires” which was presented at the CCCB in 2002. The idea, script and original structure from that exhibition were maintained. The result is a multimedia installation, with sectors of documentation that complement the 70

textual, sound and audiovisual discourse. This new version updates the deep bond between Borges and the city of Buenos Aires and, at the same time, allows an open vision of the numerous readings that his work continues to evoke, on the 25th anniversary of his death. Borges himself gave a masterful definition of this experience that all of us, in one way or another, seek in literature, art and life itself: “Music, feelings of happiness, mythology, faces worn by time, certain twilights and certain places want to tell us something, or they told us something that we should not have missed, or they are about to tell us something; this imminence of a revelation that is not produced is, perhaps, the aesthetic event.” (“The Wall and the Books”, Other Inquisitions).

Beyond the CCCB Exhibitions

Post-It City. Occasional Cities In Madrid Curatorship: Martí Peran, Filippo Poli, Giovanni La Varra and Federico Zanfi Production: Acción Cultural Española (ACE) and CCCB Organisation: CentroCentro del Palacio de Cibeles and CCCB

“Post-it City. Occasional Cities” is an ambitious project that researches different temporal uses that overlap on the urban territory. Giovanni La Varra has proposed the concept of a “post-it city” to track that proliferation of fleeting situations, outside of conventional planning forecasts and pre-established political “correctnesses”. In his proposal, post-it cities are a kind of ephemeral city that infects the ordinary city, based on non-coded, temporary, anonymous uses with an implicit critical nature. The proposal is to broaden this base to the concept of “occasional city” to explore the phenomenon and prioritise the perspectives offered from architecture, urban planning and the visual arts in all their possible variants to document it and think about it. The objective of the

exhibition was to spark reflection on the pertinence of architecture, urban planning and art in the use of space in the city and, especially, the conflictive relations of art between documenting and stimulating such use. “Post-it City. Occasional Cities” was presented in Madrid from 22 September 2011 to 11 March 2012, after a three-year tour around different Latin American and Spanish organisations: MAC-Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Santiago, Chile), EAC-Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo (Montevideo), Espacio Casa de Cultura-La Prensa (Buenos Aires), the Centro Cultural São Paulo and the Museo de Cadiz. At the CentroCentro del Palacio de Cibeles the analysis was updated,

proposing an ongoing work project that backs intersection between the processes of training, production and circulation of ideas. This incorporation of a specific experience was carried out through a collective workshop organised by iDENSITAT in collaboration with TC+I Taller Colectivo + Intervención en espacio público, with the participation of Todo por la Praxis, Fadhila Mammar, Ramon Parramón, Martí Peran, Pedagogías Invisibles and the Neighbourhood Associations of Avecla and La Corrala. The material generated by the workshop was incorporated once more into the exhibition, leading to the case studies being expanded and thus continuing the research that began in 2005.

The Baroque (D)ef(f)ect. Politics of the Hispanic Image In Quito Curatorship: Jorge Luis Marzo and Tere Badia Production: CCCB Organisation: Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Quito and CCCB

This exhibition is the result of the analysis of the tale of Hispanicity as a common and homogeneous framework between Spain and Latin America. Among the images used in the Hispanic countries to construct and legitimate their identity and memory, the baroque has been the most long-lasting, widespread and influential, often at the expense of ignoring other equally relevant lines of argument. “The Baroque (D)ef(f)ect” is proposed as a dissection of this tale and of the cultural policies that continue writing it today. The Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Quito (CAC) presented the exhibition from 22 November 2011 to 4 March

2012. The importance of it being presented in a city such as Quito became paradigmatic due to the city’s Franciscan and Jesuit architectural heritage in the colonial churches which is perceived by Ecuadorian society itself as a Hispanicist narrative model. To coincide with the exhibition, also organised was a seminar led by artists such as Andrés Barriga (Ecuador) and Andrés Oriard (Mexico); and a round table with Miquel Alvear (Ecuador), Lupe Álvarez (Cuba), Víctor Manuel Rodríguez (Colombia) and Andrés Oriard (Mexico) moderated by Alexis Moreano on the curator’s proposal for the exhibition. The speeches were proposed as a dissection of this

narrative and of the cultural policies that continue to write it. The tour thus enriched and adapted to the vision of the Ecuadorian audience that integrated the reflection on the way of understanding the baroque in the American imaginary, and the real possibility of “de-Hispanicising” such artistic practices among the artists of today.

Beyond the CCCB Exhibitions

The Complete Letters Curatorship: Jordi Balló Production: Gecesa Casa Encendida, Centro Cultural Universitario Tlateloloco, Acción Cultural Española (ACE) and CCCB

The exhibition “The Complete Letters” investigated a new type of cinematographic format: an alternating succession of filmed letters capable of generating a layer of double meaning. Firstly the invention of a calligraphy based on a personal work with a specific addressee – to whom the letter is written – in a dialogue of intimacy that features the spectator’s presence. Secondly the undeniable fact that this evidences a geography of affinities, a belonging to a community of solitary filmmakers who build invisible bridges

with other directors in whom they can recognise themselves. This is the case of Albert Serra and Lisandro Alonso; of Isaki Lacuesta and Naomi Kawase; of Jaime Rosales and Wang Bing; of José Luis Guerin and Jonas Mekas; and of Fernando Eimbcke and So Yong Kim.

In Alicante Organisation: Las Cigarreras Cultura Contemporánea, Centro de Estudios Ciudad de la Luz of Alicante and CCCB

The very singularity of this project gives it great formal versatility. At each of the venues where the project has been presented, it has taken on a different formalisation to adapt to

varying programmes, spatial dimensions and morphologies. In the adaptation of “The Complete Letters” to Las Cigarreras in Alicante, presented from 24 November 2011 to 12

February 2012, a compact exhibition version was presented in collaboration with the Centro de Estudios Ciudad de la Luz of Alicante.

In Paris Organisation: CCCB and Centre Georges Pompidou

Centre Pompidou, under the title Cinéastes en Correspondance, invited them in twos to present the integrity of their works and to dialogue with the audience and with each other, while their filmed correspondence was exhibited, along with installations that each of them had recently presented at museums and galleries.

Cinéastes en Correspondance began with a special feature on Jonas Mekas and José Luis Guerin, from 30 November 2012 to 7 January 2013. The former of the two filmmakers singly embodies the American avant-garde since 1950. The latter has been renewing Spanish film since 1980. Jonas Mekas and José Luis Guerin, sons of the Lumière Brothers, tireless witnesses of their

places and their times, exchanged a filmed correspondence composed of nine letters. This correspondence, at the heart of their meeting, was exhibited at the Centre Georges Pompidou with other video installations and their complete retrospectives: 84 films of which 34 were unreleased in the presence of both filmmakers.

In Korea and in Buenos Aires Organisation: CCCB, Seoul Art Cinema (Korea), Sala Lugones (Buenos Aires)

Based on the exhibition adaptations, there has also been significant interest when presenting “The Complete Letters” in an audiovisual season format. In this respect, the Seoul Art 72

Cinema / K. A. C. T.(Korean Association of Cinematheques) included this CCCB production as the central core of Cine-Vacances from 26 July – 26 August; and at the Sala Lugones - Cen-

tro Cultural San Martin and the Cineteca de Buenos Aires, it was presented in monographic form from 30 October to 4 November.

Beyond the CCCB Exhibitions

Global Screen In San Sebastian Curatorship: Gilles Lipovetsky, Jean Serroy and Andrés Hispano. Production and organisation: CCCB and San Telmo Museoa, San Sebastian

The exhibition was presented consecutively at the CCCB and at the San Telmo Museoa, San Sebastian, and from 2013 its international tour kicks off at the Centro de las Artes de Monterrey, Mexico, on a journey that may be multiple and even simultaneous. “Global Screen” takes a look at 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 into our lives and are here to stay, with a power that is unprecedented, as they are present all sectors: private, social, cultural, artistic, scientific and political. “Global Screen” multiplies the images that we consume as spectators and that in the physical exhibition are shown in seven spaces devoted to history, politics, sport, advertising, excess, play and surveillance.

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 takes on an emblematic role. Each of the productions at the different institutions that host the exhibition generates a form of movement, of transformation, of change and of new dialogue with the audiences that improve it and enrich it. In parallel with the exhibition, a virtual platform was created at http://pantallaglobal.cccb.org where users could participate directly in the exhibition discourse. (See the section “CCCB Lab”)

In Favour of the Public Space European Prize for Urban Public Space 2012 In Medellín Co-production: CCCB, Fundació Kreanta, Comfenalco-Antioquia and Alcadía Mayor de Bogotá Venue: Centro de Desarrollo Cultural de Moravia, Medellín

For the first time, the European Prize for Urban Public Space went beyond European borders and was presented at the Centro de Desarrollo Cultural de Moravia in Medellín, from 4 October to 30 November. From there it was set to begin its tour around different Latin American cities over the course of 2013. The Centro Moravia, built in one of the most dense and depressed neighbourhoods of Medellín, is one of the fruitful results of the city’s backing for culture as a society-transforming element. The organisation works at the service of its community, offering a cultural and educational programme that the neighbouring residents have made their own. This was very evident at the inauguration of the Prize exhibition, which was attended by the entire neighbourhood. The exhibition, also understood as an educational tool for the local community, presented the most prominent works from this edition of the Prize, accompanied by audiovisual material with the statements of the Jury members and the reflections of various thinkers on the public space. The documentary Europa ciudad, a co-production between the CCCB and TVE2, which tackles the European city model, was also screened. 74

The exhibition was presented within the context of the 5th International Conference on Creative Cities, which this year tackled the issue: “Public Space and Culture in Action”. Participants representing the CCCB were Marçal Sintes, Judit Carrera and David Bravo. Over the course of three days there were numerous lectures and discussions with experts from the national and the international arena such as Saskia Sassen and Teresa Caldeira, to reflect on creativity, innovation and culture in the cities.

Soy Cámara The CCCB Programme Production: TVE and CCCB

The broadcasting on TVE channel 2 of the programme Soy Cámara. El programa del CCCB continued. A monthly programme lasting 30 minutes, also on the TVE website. Each programme is devoted to reflecting on issues that have emerged from exhibitions and activities carried out at the Centre, with the intention of showing a different way of seeing and understanding the CCCB. The programme has a desire for experimentation in both formal language and narrative treatment. To produce the programme, in addition to footage material, collections from the CCCB Archive are used. The first two programmes of 2012 were dedicated to scientific, technological,

artistic, social and spiritual transformations that are taking place in the early 21st century, based on materials generated by the activity NOW, Meetings in the Present Continuous. Other themes for the year were the presence and use of cameras in everyday life of the 21st century, photojournalism, Memory-Alzheimer’s, architecture for the public space and family-produced films. www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/ soy-camara/

CCCB Collection

CCCB Archive The CCCB Archive is the digital and multimedia collection created by the CCCB over the course of 18 years of activity, which the Centre makes available to the public. It contains a broad variety of materials on key issues in contemporary culture and society, from the first exhibitions to more recent debates and festivals. Currently, in the CCCB Archive, visitors can consult around 10,000 multimedia references (recordings of conferences; performances, recitals and concerts; audiovisuals created in house; photographs; information on activities and on the authors, curators and

conference speakers participating in them), which represent 100% of the historical collection of the CCCB, as well as new materials generated by its programming as these are incorporated. In addition to its desire to inform, the CCCB Archive also aims to be a space of synthesis of the history of the CCCB and an area for reception, reading and rest for all its visitors.

Public Space Organisation: CCCB With the collaboration of: The Architecture Foundation, Architekturzentrum Wien, Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine, Nederlands Architectuurinstituut, Museum of Finnish Architecture and Deutsches Architekturmuseum Under the patronage of: Copcisa, Abertis and Escofet

The website is organised into three areas: European Prize for Urban Public Space

This contains the information relating to the seven Prize events so far and the winning projects of each edition. European Archive of Urban Public Space

Public Space is the CCCB’s website on the city and public space. Structured around the European Prize for Urban Public Space, it offers information on the projects presented for the Prize, texts by authors of note and all the news on debates, exhibitions and festivals on an urban theme linked to the CCCB.

This draws together a selection of the best works presented for the Prize since its origins. At this moment in time, through some 181 texts and over 4,500 images, the Archive offers a perspective on 451 interventions in the public space of 295 European cities.

Urban Library

The Library brings together the main texts on urban themes that the CCCB has been compiling since its outset. Exhibitions, debates and conferences constitute this collection on the contemporary city in the form of an urban library, which makes accessible to everyone the more theoretical approaches to the city phenomenon generated by the CCCB. The Library contains texts by Zygmunt Bauman, Jordi Borja, Teresa Caldeira, Manuel Castells, Jean-Louis Cohen, André Corboz, Robert Fishman, Jan Gehl, Oriol Nel·lo, Xavier Rubert de Ventós, Saskia Sassen, Michael Sorkin, Eyal Weizman, and Sharon Zukin, among others. www.publicspace.org

CCCB Collection

Xcèntric Archive The Xcèntric Archive is the first experimental film archive in the world open for public consultation, with a collection of over 700 films. The Xcèntric Archive reopened to the public in a new space on Floor -1 of the CCCB. It measures 80 m2 and has three differentiated areas: a screening room with capacity for twelve people (for group consultations), an area for individual consultations with three screens and a multi-purpose space for presentations, workshops, etc. Improved consultation of the Archive was one of the main priorities for the refurbishment; thus, there are new screens in the technical part, a soundproofed area offering improved user comfort and upgrades to the operating system interface (specially designed for the Archive) which allows users to search by filmmaker, title and country as well as vote for their favourite films and view those most voted by the public.

A made-to-measure interface allows consultation of films by: Peggy Ahwesh, Martin Arnold, Stan Brakhage, Abigail Child, Stephen Dwoskin, Harun Farocki, Oskar Fischinger, Jean Genet, Jean-Luc Godard, Kurt Kren, Malcolm Le Grice, Len Lye, Mara Mattuschka, Jonas Mekas, Norman McLaren, Werner Nekes, David Perlov, Jürgen Reble, Hans Richter, Paul Sharits, Alexander Sokurov, Peter Tscherkassky, José Val del Omar, Johan van der Keuken, John Smith, Ivan Ladislav Galeta, Andrés Duque, Luis Escarpín, Marie Menken, Martina Kudláček, Emmanuel Lefrant, Alberte Pagán, A.

Ovni Archives from the Observatory The Observatory Archives have an intentional and thematic nature: facilitating a critique of contemporary culture using different strategies: video art, independent documentary and archaeology of the mass media. The Archives contain an entire constellation of different works, their common denominator being free expression and

reflection on individual and collective fears and pleasures; constructing overall a multi-faceted vision, thousands of tiny eyes, which make inroads into and explore our world, or announce other possible worlds. A discourse where the main values are heterogeneity, contradiction and the subjective viewpoint from which it is

made. In its own right it is a tonic to the cloning and repetition of the corporate mass media.

Martin Parr, Photography and Collecting The work of photographer Martin Parr represents a prime illustration of the rich and surprising relations between photography and collecting within the context of the touristic experience, a privileged scenario of modern life. The catalogue proposes a dialogue between these two realities – photography and collecting – in order to reveal their affinities and contradictions and thus permit the spectator to decipher the motives, media and objectives of these two forms of artistic intervention.

General Information

Audience Visits to the CCCB The number of visits during the year totalled 315,902. The CCCB received in excess of 350,000 visits in the year 1996 and, since that time the annual number of visitors, which is very directly related with the programme for each year, has remained between this figure and the 426,000 visitors of 2001. During 2012, The average number of visits to the Centre for each day it was open stood at 932, slightly below that of the previous year, which stood at 1,003. In general figures, if the year 2012 is compared with the previous year, visits to exhibitions decreased (from 187,213 to 149,796), owing to the reduction of the programme. The number of people attending activities also decreased (from 122,205 to 108,807) also due to the reduction of the programme. In contrast, the number of people attending courses increased (from 17,576 to 24,948). Attendance at the Xcèntric and CCCB Archives increased (from 10,791 to 13,426 visits), and there was also an increase in the number of people attending venue hire events (from 14,302 to 18,955). Taking into account the 2012 programme, the number of visits exceeded that of the previous year in the months of April, May, November and December and decreased significantly in the months of June and January. As regards the exhibitions programme, “Souvenir. Martin Parr, Photography and Collecting” was the most visited with 33,608 visits, followed by “More Photojournalism. Visa pour l’Image-Perpignan in Barcelona 2012” with 31,626 and “Global Screen” with 27,633 visits. In terms of the activities programme, it is worth highlighting, as every year, the Festival Sónar, which attracted 32,886 people to the Sónar by Day. Of the other festivals, those with the largest audiences were Món Llibre with 12,000 visits and Drap’Art with 9,102 visits, followed by L’Alternativa with 6,163 visits and Hipnotik with 5,418.

With respect to more specific activities, it is worth highlighting the offering of urban itineraries with 3,169 participants. As for the audiovisual offering, the Xcèntric programme totalled 1,796 people attending, while Gandules totalled 5,100.

pour l’Image-Perpignan in Barcelona 2012”, had a much lower percentage of visitors from Catalonia or that speak Catalan, with some 60% of visitors residing outside Catalonia and that speak other languages that are not Catalan nor Spanish.

Turning to debates and courses, the debate Virtues ran up a total of 3,180 people attending the season’s nine sessions, each of which had an audience in excess of 260 people, with highlights being the lectures given by Lobo Antunes and Juan Marsé which attracted 626 people and that given by Tzvetan Todorov with 430. The Virtues debate was followed by the debate At the Origins of the Human Mind which saw a total of 1,056 people attending.

As for ages, the first three exhibitions present similar percentages, with visitors aged between 25 and 44 years in the main part. In contrast, the exhibition “World Press Photo” has a higher percentage than others in the same year in the age range 18 to 24 years and from 35 to 44 years, whereas the exhibition “Paral·lel Avenue” has percentages much higher among older people aged from 45 to over 75 years. In all cases, the visitors came in the main part alone or accompanied by just one other person, and only the exhibition “World Press Photo” had a higher percentage of visitors that came with a group of friends (around 25%).

Finally, with regard to the CCCB’s holdings, over the course of the year, the CCCB Archive received 8,737 visits, fewer than in the previous year, and the Xcèntric Archive, which had been reopened, received 4,689.

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 to the five main exhibitions of 2012, the first three drew a public with similar traits, whereas the last two were differentiated from the rest because they attracted a much more local audience. Furthermore, at the first three over 60% of the visitors were new visitors, who were coming to the Centre for the first time, whereas at the last two the large majority, some 65-70%, had already visited the Centre previously. With respect to the origin of the visitors, the exhibition “World Press Photo 12” and the exhibition “El Paral·lel, 18941939” were those with the most visitors from Barcelona city and from the rest of Catalonia. In contrast, the other three: “The Complete Letters”, “Global Screen” and “More Photojournalism. Visa

Virtual Audience During 2012, the CCCB website received 388,756 unique visitors, a slightly higher number than the previous year. Of these users, 55,274 read articles on the website, 30,718 visited the virtual projects, while 224,900 video reproductions were viewed and there were 883 readings of the website’s resources. During the year 2012, a continued effort continued to be made on the social networks, with much more information and interactivity on the different platforms, and this was notable in a significant increase in numbers of followers both on Facebook and on Twitter. At the end of 2011, the CCCB had 14,806 followers on Facebook and by the end of 2012 it had 27,764. Meanwhile on Twitter, the CCCB ended the year 2011 with 14,395 followers and by the end of 2012 it had reached 47,098.
