PRESENTATION OF BONART MAGAZINE NUMBER 196 at the Mapfre Foundation (KBr)
KBr Building MAPFRE Foundation of Barcelona
The bonart group presented the monograph Catalunya saluda Duchamp , included in issue 196 of the paper magazine, in an event yesterday at noon in front of more than a hundred people and held in the KBr building of the Mapfre Foundation in Barcelona.
The monograph, created by Joan Casellas (plastic artist, photographer and documentalist), is a collection of photographs of individuals or those representing a cultural entity from all over Catalonia who own a work by the artist Marcel Duchamp. A dossier that explains his influence and the mark he left on our territory. The first bonart event after the pandemic began with a presentation by the current bonart cultural team: Anna Maria Camps, honorary president, Ricard Planas, editor, Alexandra Planas, head of marketing and Carlota Ramoneda, manager, who highlighted the intention of how the magazine has adapted to the new digital scenarios and continue to claim the important role of art in society. Immediately afterwards, a discussion began on the artist Duchamp and his influence in Catalonia, moderated by Carolina Rosich (journalist from the Culture section of TV3) and starring Joan Casellas himself, Eduard Arranz-Bravo (artist and connoisseur of Duchamp's work) and Rosa Maria Malet (former director of the Miró Foundation, the space where Duchamp's first exhibition on the peninsula was held). At the end of the event, and thanks to the collaboration of Maria Pfaff (director of the Mapfre Foundation), the more than one hundred collaborators and subscribers of the magazine were able to enjoy a vermouth with privileged views from the highest part of the building. Previously, a guided tour of the exhibitions currently being exhibited at the foundation was carried out.
