Emerging art takes over Barcelona with GLOPS
The Espai Isern Dalmau hosts a selection of works from the Pinnae Foundation's Young Art Biennial, a project that promotes new voices in Catalan contemporary creation.
This summer, Barcelona becomes a meeting point for new artistic creation with the arrival of GLOPS, the Biennial of Young Art promoted by the Pinnae Foundation. The Espai Isern Dalmau of the Lluís Coromina Foundation will inaugurate an exhibition on June 17 at 7:00 p.m. that brings together a selection of works created by participating artists in the first edition of this project dedicated to emerging Catalan talent. The exhibition can be visited until August 1 during the room's regular opening hours.
The exhibition presents a set of proposals that highlight the richness and diversity of the current artistic scene. Through diverse contemporary disciplines and languages, the artists address themes that cross contemporary society: identity, collective memory, social tensions, territory or the relationship with the environment. The works invite the viewer to participate in an open dialogue with the concerns of a new generation of creators.

The selected artists who are part of this exhibition are Carlos Herraiz Sabaté, Caterina Miralles, Pau Borràs Montosa, Anna Fando Morell, Gemma Jané Tarragó, Marc Anglès, Judit Luna Minguell, Marcel Juliana and Albert Gironès, authors who represent different ways of understanding artistic practice and who share a critical, experimental and committed perspective with their time.
For young creators, exhibiting at the Espai Isern Dalmau represents much more than an exhibition opportunity. It means recognizing creative processes that often originate in intimate spaces of research and experimentation, and that are now open to the public in a cultural setting of reference. The inauguration, open to everyone, will allow visitors to meet the artists, discover their work processes and get closer to the different narratives that make up this collective exhibition.

Founded in 2025, GLOPS has established itself as a support and projection platform for creators between the ages of 18 and 35 in the visual arts field in Catalonia. The initiative combines an artistic work competition with a creative residency program that provides financial support, professional guidance and production spaces for the development of selected projects.
In its first call, the biennial received nearly 200 proposals from all over Catalonia and selected 23 to form part of the collective exhibition held in Vilafranca del Penedès. Its arrival in Barcelona now represents a new step in the trajectory of the participating artists and a new opportunity for the public to discover the perspectives, languages and concerns that define the future of Catalan contemporary art.
