GAC AWARD 2022 IN THE MEDIA OF COMMUNICATION
The galleries Joan Gaspar, Sala Parés, Mayoral, Taché, Esther Montoriol and Àngels Barcelona, the photographer Manel Esclusa, the collector Tatxo Benet, the curator Pepe Ribas and the critic Conxita Oliver are also awarded. The GAC Awards 2022 were presented yesterday, June 7, during the fifteenth Nit del Galerisme, held in person at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (Macba). The eleven awards presented illustrate the vitality of the gallery industry and the different art trends that coexist in the current panorama.
The bonart group, which was present with a representation formed by the honorary president Anna Maria Camps, the editor and director Ricard Planas Camps, the manager Carlota Ramoneda, the editor-in-chief Beatriz G. Moreno and Lluís Coromina , representing the advisory councilor, enjoyed the fortnightly Nit del Galerisme – under the organization of the associations Galeries d'Art de Catalunya (GAC) and Art Barcelona–. A large group of collaborators of the group were also present at the event. Yesterday again, the awards ceremony was a meeting point for the sector and presented a plural and multifaceted portrait of the world of art in Catalonia. Careers, exhibitions, initiatives and entrepreneurial proposals have been awarded in a catalogue of awards that reflects the transversality of the current panorama. The jury of the GAC Awards 2022 is chaired by art critic Pilar Parcerisas and also includes critic Juan Bufill , curator Natalia Chocarro, curator Àlex Mitrani and artist Gino Rubert.
The editor of bonart, Ricard Planas, who received the award –accompanied by part of the team– from the president of the jury, the critic Pilar Parcerisas, highlighted the support that the group has always given to the galleries and stressed that the award "as Albert Serra would say, we deserved it after 23 years of making a commitment to specialization". In addition, Planas pointed out that "in Catalonia sometimes there is not so much self-criticism and perhaps a little more self-esteem is needed" . Bonart is an art magazine, a digital newspaper and a cultural consultancy.
