From November 26 to December 12, 2010.
Every year since the brilliant artists death, the Granell Foundation commemorates Eugenio Granells birthday with different kinds of events.
ENCUÉNTRATE CON GRANELL We will celebrate Eugenio Granells birthday on November 29.
The Foundation will mark the occasion, as it has been doing in the last few years, with a series of activities: The Granell in Person exhibition reveals the artists more intimate facet by means of three sections of material: a selection of the artists personal objects, a visual biography of Granell based on a photographic polyptych; and also a more reflexive look at the artist by means of a selection of sound recordings from the Granell Foundation archive: declarations by the artist in different situations, excerpts of interviews…
This year, we are again encouraging the public to participate actively in the tribute to Granell by repeating the activity called Encuéntrate con Granell. The game consists in reinterpreting Eugenio Granells self-portrait made in 1944, an Indian ink drawing on paper, which will dominate the exhibition encompassing this fun activity.
RULES FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE GAME
Use any of your own materials to adapt the suggested artwork. Each participant may use the technique of his or her choice: collage, painting, sculpture… Another alternative consists in creating a title for the artwork you are going to work on, which will result in a new vision of it. You can hand your creations in at the museums reception desk or send a picture of them by e-mail. The latter will be displayed in the exhibition. Your artworks will be displayed in the Eugenio Granell Foundation and you will have the opportunity of seeing them until December 12.
To mark the anniversary of Granells birthday, there will also be open days from November 26 to December 12.
We hope that you will find this initiative interesting and enjoy participating in it.
