Exposició "Anna Moreno. La tercera torsió"

The exhibition is organized around The Terminal Beach, the final part of a trilogy that reflects on temporality through utopian architecture and the potential of its speculative imagination, through three projects by Ricardo Bofill and three stories by James Graham Ballard. In "La tercera torsió" the artist documents, in road movie format, the current state of a nomadic settlement built in 1979 by Bofill in the Algerian Sahara, under the commission of the then president Houari Boumédienne. The construction is framed within the utopian period of the architect, when his studio (RBTA) was an amalgam of architects, poets and painters, among others. What was to be a complex built according to modernity criteria, finally becomes an unfinished project that reveals the tension of the dream of that era with the reality of modern colonial legacies.
