The Miró at Hand

Anywhere, anytime, capsules of inspiration and creativity available to all

The Miró at Hand is a set of resources presented as small capsules made available to everyone, with the idea of inspiring us, encouraging creativity and drawing us closer to the work of Miró.

The Miró goes wherever we happen to be, helping us get a better idea of its architecture and context, as well as illuminating contemporary creation and the life and work of Joan Miró. The spaces of the foundation and limits between disciplines are diluted. This is why you can enjoy these proposals on Miró, action art or the online activities for families in an open, flexible manner. The Miró is in your hands, it adapts to your pace.


My Miró

My Miró is a collection of video recordings made by members of the team, Friends of the Miró and collaborators, all of whom explain "their Miró". These anonymous readings have no academic or formalist biases, as they are made by non-experts. They invite museum visitors to make Miró their own, and to take what they find into a personal realm. So what’s "your Miró"? Share it on social media with the hashtag #myMiró

Art in action

Performance and action art have had an ongoing presence in the foundation’s programming. From the Jordi Benito action in 1979 to more recent performances at the Espai 13, or the 2020 erasure performance by Nalini Malani, action, the body, voice and communicative gesture have reflected the evolution of artistic language as well as the institution’s commitment to make a home for all artistic expressions. Quite beyond their expressive value in any given moment, we seek to revive some of the actions that have been made over the years at the Miró. We seek to encourage a diachronic gaze with a perspective on the changes that have taken place in the performance genre, trusting that this way of seeing might even set out a vision of the future for us.

Let's transform an image

Have you ever altered an image you liked by painting or drawing on it, cutting it out or sticking bits of paper to it? Miró painted on works depicting landscapes created by other people. We invite you to give a new form to pictures on paper that you find at home in an activity associated with the exhibition Miró. His Most Intimate Legacy, taking as the basis for this exercise the work Personatge a la sortida del sol al costat d’un riu (Figure at Sunrise next to a River, 10 July 1965).

Shared Memories

Shared Memories is an activity proposal for seniors and for those family members or care home staff accompanying them. The starting point is a series of photographic images by Joaquim Gomis from the 1940s to the 1960s, which evoke specific times and moments in creating an oral narrative charged with anecdotes and recollections. The related audio recordings can be heard on the YouTube channel of the Fundació.
