The Espai 13 at the Fundació Joan Miró is an exhibition programme of emerging artistic and curatorial practices set up to meet Joan Miró's wish to create a space where new generations could present their work. Since its launch in 1978 in the foundation's Espai 10, over 45 years ago, our programme of emerging art has built up an extensive background in promoting local, national and international talent. Over the years, Espai 13 has become an important turning point in the artistic and professional careers of many of its participants, for whom it has represented a major advance in terms of their professionalisation and recognition within the art world.
Through the Espai 13, as an observatory and barometer of the evolution of emerging art, the curatorship of a season of four solo shows based on a theme connected with contemporary artistic practice is commissioned every year. For 2025, the appointed curator is Carolina Jiménez, who has selected the four participating artists and conceived of a programme based on the relationship of artists with their surroundings, as well as on ideas around place and context. After a year during which the exhibitions emerged out of the concept of interdependence, this new programme shifts focus and invites us to step out of the museum and discover the ways in which work and life environments condition and shape contemporary artists' productions.
