'Gaudí-Miró-Gomis: Deconstructed': Catalan heritage enters a new dimension
Casa Batlló Contemporary and the Fundació Joan Miró promote an immersive exhibition that connects Antoni Gaudí, Joan Miró and Joaquim Gomis from a contemporary perspective.
Barcelona will once again be at the center of contemporary creation this summer with the inauguration of Gaudí-Miró-Gomis: Deconstructed , an exhibition that proposes revisiting three essential figures of 20th-century Catalan culture through digital technologies and new artistic languages.
The exhibition, co-organized by the Fundació Joan Miró and Casa Batlló Contemporary, will open its doors on July 8, 2026 on the second floor of Casa Batlló, recently converted into a space dedicated to exploring and activating the legacy of Antoni Gaudí from a contemporary perspective.

The exhibition is part of the Gaudí Year 2026, a commemoration conceived as a major international platform to vindicate the validity of the Catalan architect and the influence that his work continues to exert on art, architecture and current visual culture.
Following the inaugural exhibition Beyond the Façade , created by United Visual Artists in early 2026, Casa Batlló Contemporary now consolidates its commitment to an artistic program that combines heritage and innovation. With Gaudí-Miró-Gomis: Deconstructed , the space goes a step further and proposes a transversal reading of three creators united by the same cultural landscape and the same way of understanding the relationship between art and experimentation.
The project has been developed by the creative studio Tomorrow Bureau and is curated by Joana Seguro, representing Casa Batlló Contemporary, and Ester Ramos, on behalf of the Fundació Joan Miró. The proposal moves away from a strictly historical approach to build an immersive experience in which the works dialogue with each other through visual, sound and digital resources.
The exhibition brings together original sculptures and graphic works by Joan Miró with photographs by Joaquim Gomis, a key figure in the modern reinterpretation of Gaudí's universe. Based on this material, the installations developed by Tomorrow Bureau incorporate tools such as photogrammetry, 3D scanning, animation and generative artificial intelligence to analyze, reconstruct and transform the original forms.

More than a technological deployment, these interventions function as a process of artistic research. The pieces allow us to observe textures, structures and formal relationships that often go unnoticed by the naked eye, thus expanding the perception of the works and offering new readings on the work of the three creators.
The exhibition argues that Gaudí, Miró and Gomis did not create in isolation, but immersed in the same cultural ecosystem. Barcelona, Mediterranean nature and the fascination with organic matter cross their paths and establish points of connection that the exhibition highlights. In this sense, Gaudí's architecture appears not only as a heritage reference, but as a living presence that profoundly influenced Miró's artistic vision and Gomis' photographic lens.
Gaudí-Miró-Gomis: Deconstructed turns this dialogue between disciplines into a contemporary sensory experience, where heritage, art and technology merge to reinterpret one of the most influential imaginaries of Catalan culture.
