Book Synopsis BCN Free Art 01: The Port and Barceloneta by : Kevin Booth
Download or read book BCN Free Art 01: The Port and Barceloneta written by Kevin Booth and published by Poble Sec Books. This book was released on 2015-06 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BCN Free Art 01: The Port and Barceloneta guides you around artworks on Barcelona’s waterfront and through the fishing neighbourhood of Barceloneta, describing the city’s history, the artists – such as Xavier Mariscal, Roy Lichtenstein, JM Subirachs, Rebecca Horn, Juan Muñoz and James Turrell – who created these sculptures, and the stories that bring Barcelona alive. This edition of BCN Free Art 01: The Port and Barceloneta has been fully revised. Extra information has been added, while we have replaced some lower-quality photos for better images. We have also made the route more streamlined and easier to follow. So the chapters have been reorganised and every artwork is now linked to its position on Google maps. There are even links to other artworks mentioned that aren't part of the official route! The idea for these guides sprang from hard times, a recession in fact. Whether in boom or recession, art remains fundamental. But while free art is a great idea, not all great art is free. So this guide takes you places where there is no admission fee. The BCN Free Art guides inform without being academic, helping you enjoy Barcelona’s culture as you stroll or cycle around town.
Download or read book Celia's Room written by Kevin Booth and published by Poble Sec Books. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An LGBT+ portrait of the Barcelona night in a year of sex, drugs and deception. Told through their own eyes, sensitive Joaquim – whose passion for painting will propel him into the artist’s life – and cynical Eduardo – addicted to a nightlife that thwarts his ambition to write – unveil a conflicted, shadowy city, personified by the enigmatic Celia. Despite their violently contrasting natures, Joaquim and Eduardo both fall under Celia’s aura. The games they are learning to play will draw all three into conflict – against the backdrop of a city that is also rehearsing a new identity – leading them inexorably towards the truth of Celia’s Room. These are the heirs to Jean Genet’s underworld in A Thief’s Journal, a world which Nazario describes brilliantly in El bar Kike y Paca la Tomate and elsewhere. That collection of tawdry gay bars huddled around Plaça Reial in the late 80s and early 90s, long before the Gaixample existed, was perhaps even more vibrant, decadent, drug-fuelled and anarchic than the Madrid movida made famous by directors like Almodóvar – yet no less deservedly famous. “Stunning debut: If you like Kerouac or Isherwood, you will love Celia’s Room.” “Nothing is quite as it seems. This book rejoices in ambiguity and ambivalence, successfully capturing the zeitgeist of Barcelona.”
