Casa Batlló opens new contemporary art space

Casa Batlló, the iconic Antoni Gaudí-designed building in Barcelona, has opened a new contemporary art space on its second floor. The inaugural exhibition, 'Beyond the Façade' by Matt Clark and United Visual Artists, uses light, sculpture, technology, and choreography to create an immersive experience inspired by Gaudí's vision and the philosophical system of Ramon Llull.

This opening expands the landmark's cultural programming, aiming to bridge Gaudí's legacy with contemporary artistic practice. It initiates the 'Gaudí Year,' a program of events that will feature new commissions from artists responding to the architect's work, positioning the historic site as a dynamic stage for current artistic experimentation and dialogue.
