FRIDAY JUNE 6, 2008
A Matter of Time and Space
Everyone has an artist friend; someone who'll normally never stop talking about himself, although occasionally he may offer up some genuinely interesting reflection.

My artist friend yesterday told me that he never went to museums for the art, but only to certify that the floor space is indeed poorly used, and that, yes, there exist places larger than your shoebox of a flat. Such as places that only are occupied, in greater or smaller measure, by a green cardboard box, with a "Green cardboard box in empty space" label pasted on the wall.

I’m not sure if that's what's happening at Centre d'Art Santa Mónica, half monastery, half destroyed airport, where my friend assures me that this weekend, they'll be celebrating '24 hours of open hangar'.

24 hours, he tells me with amazement, in which we can take advantage of the huge quantity of floor space with loads of light, colour and multimedia projections. Thing, in short, that - contrary to your kitchen - may not even occupy real physical space: we're nothing but excess and brashness. A waste of space? Judge for yourself.

24 horas del hangar abierto - 20h-20h June 6-7
Centre d'Art Santa Mónica, Ramblas 7, Drassanes
Free entry.
