Metro: MACBA, Barcelona - Xavier Ribas

I have recently been on a research trip to Barcelona, while here I visited the Xavier Ribas exhibition at MACBA. What I found interesting is the underlying ideas and concepts behind the work, of which my ork is taking a similar direction. One such example is planning to find white vans and make images of, rather than just documenting the developing spaces. Ribas' work has a strong political message, perticularly with the bomb =bed landscapes and mass graves that are the subject matter. On looking at the catalogue for the show I was extremly dissapointed in the lack of representation of the methods of displaying the images in the show. If i wasx to make a publication I think I would document how my show looked along side full page scans of the actual images.

One other example that stood out to me of how you can play around with the exhibit was at the Picasso Museum...
