Miquel Barcelo is one of the most
interesting artists active today. For over 40 years, his poetics has
embodied different languages such as painting, sculpture, graphics and
publishing, in a great and very original artistic pathway.
The
International museum of Ceramics in Faenza (MIC) devoted an outstanding
solo exhibition to the Spanish artist. Curated by Irene Biolchini and
Cecile Pocheau Lesteven, it was the first anthological event devoted to
Barcelo's ceramic production, from his debut to the present day. The
event included a special project created by the artist just for the MIC
Faenza in a dialogue with works in the collection, covering the history
of ceramics. This selection of key ceramic pieces from the MIC
collection, dating back to 3000 BC, alongside the works of Barcelo are
all presented here through illustrations and accompanying text.
