The Fundació Joan Miró and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra are creating the Fundació Joan Miró - UPF Chair of Contemporary Art
The chair, directed by Manel Jiménez, Vice Rector of Educational Transformation, Culture and Communication at the UPF, is intended first and foremost to foster research, teaching and the dissemination of knowledge related to Joan Miró and contemporary art.
This initiative is the latest result of the two institutions’ commitment to collaborate with each other. This co-operation began in October 2020 with the signing of a framework agreement that has also included, among other actions, the temporary loan of work from the foundation’s collection to the university, as well as the transfer of some of the museum’s bibliographical holdings on contemporary art to the library of the UPF.
