Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona Presents Angels Ribe Exhibition

The Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona presents an exhibition of work by Àngels Ribé, on view through 23 October 2011.


Àngels Ribé, Invisible Geometry 2, 1973/2011. 4 fotografies b/n. Col·lecció de l’artista.

The exhibition by Àngels Ribé (Barcelona, 1943) at the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, covers a period of her production from 1969 to 1984. This period is particularly significant for it marks the appearance of a new aesthetic model that would have a fundamental influence on the creation of new ways of conceiving the artistic practice. The associative and symbolic functions of art are renegotiated: the artwork ceases to be an autonomous entity, as was the norm in the modernist tradition, and its meaning becomes dependent on an interchange with the spectator. In this way, the ambiguity and the multiplicity of references and readings that are an intrinsic part of the work of art are revealed. Àngels Ribé, having begun her artistic career at that time and within those parameters, consolidated a language of her own that has continued until today through various supports and media.

Exhibition curated by Teresa Grandas
