The Fabra Centre for Contemporary Art presents its new programming for the end of 2026 and 2027
Five exhibitions will mark the season with proposals that explore the body, public space, memory and the languages of contemporary art.
The Fabra Centre for Contemporary Art has already announced its new exhibition program for the end of 2026 and throughout 2027, a proposal that brings together artists from diverse backgrounds and languages, with projects that move between sculpture, installation, cinema, drawing, performance and moving image.
The season will open on September 19, 2026 with De cua d'ull , by LUCE, an exhibition linked to Interlude #2 that will occupy the P2 space until November 29, 2026. The project starts from the idea of observing public space in a lateral, subtle and attentive way, and is materialized in an installation of nine streetlights that cross the room like a fragment of the city. Through perforated phrases and references to the improvised advertisements that inhabit the streets, LUCE reflects on the forms of presence, adaptation and observation within the urban environment. The exhibition is curated by Claudia Elies.
On October 24, 2026, two exhibitions will be inaugurated and will be open until March 28, 2027. At P1, Randa Maroufi will present her first solo exhibition in the State, with a selection of works that span more than a decade of work. Through films, photographs and installations, the artist approaches the body as a social construction crossed by political, economic and institutional structures, and focuses on how bureaucracy, work, the border or public space shape gestures, movements and collective imaginaries. The project is curated by Vera Martín Zelich.
That same day, the P0 space will host the new exhibition by Nora Aurrekoetxea, a proposal that combines newly produced works with previous pieces revised by the artist. The show delves into a sculptural practice that transforms everyday objects and structures, alters proportions and investigates the response of materials to specific actions and gestures. Her work, located between sculpture, installation, text and performance, builds a relational universe where objects, bodies and architecture coexist from intuition, accident and listening to the process.
In 2027, the program will continue with Jorge Satorre, who will exhibit at P2 from February 13 to June 6. His project will have as its central axis an extensive series of drawings that emerged from memory and the translation of images from written descriptions. Halfway between the scientific record and the illustrated story, the exhibition starts from an apparently minor biographical element to develop a broader reflection on contemporary forms of imperialism and power. The exhibition will be completed with documents, objects and instruments linked to other works by the artist, many of which will be presented for the first time.
Finally, from May 8 to September 26, 2027, Claudia Pagès Rabal will occupy spaces P0 and P1 with an exhibition curated by Rafa Barber. Her practice, which crosses performance, choreography, moving image and objects, will unfold an installation conceived as a melody of the present, where bodies, language and spaces become tools to overflow fixed stories and generate new forms of narration. Among the works presented will be Paper Tears , the installation with which the artist represented Catalonia at the 2026 Venice Biennale.
