The exhibition provides a multifaceted history that is open to interpretation, in which the keys that motivated the setting up of the Centre for Contemporary Art Studies (CEAC) are revisited. It will explore the circumstances and the people who promoted modernity in Catalonia, with a particular emphasis on the figure of Joan Prats, who was crucial to the creation of the Fundació Joan Miró - CEAC. It will also reflect on the impact of the Spanish Civil War and the Franco regime, as well as the desire to recover the ideals of the modern movement of the 1920s and 1930s.
The exhibition will cover key moments in the Fundació's history, such as the 75th anniversary of Joan Miró, the exhibitions dedicated to the artist in Barcelona in 1968 and 1969, and the construction of the building designed by Sert. This will be followed by a room dedicated to the early years of CEAC until Miró's death in 1983. The visit will continue with the transformation of the Fundació from the 1980s onwards, highlighting the enlargement of the building and the changes brought about by the Barcelona Olympic Games as key elements. Finally, the exhibition will culminate in a tribute to the artists who have been part of the Fundació's recent history, emphasising their creative processes.
