Crossing borders, fences, making walls permeable. A porous membrane, that of a museum in a fortress. Beyond the white cube, a collection. Our strategic plan, Es Baluard 2018, has a bearing on a model of museum the main mission of which is to answer for the value of the artistic heritage which it keeps in its custody and is bound to transmit to society.
Thus, the institution seeks to transcend the walls of the museum container to become an organic body, a transmitter and receiver of the cultural evolution of our times. The current availability of the permanent collection will be reinforced with the inclusion of, and dialogue on the latest artworks incorporated, in addition to collaborations with artists, collectors and other entities with the common denominator of inside-out.
The Es Baluard cultural complex is caught up in the museological discourse, leading to new interpretations based on significant pieces – acquired by the foundation itself – which allude precisely to the relationship between interior and exterior landscapes, things domestic and the elements, the social being and individual intimacy. A window and a spyhole that enables us to continue researching along the lines opened up and delve further into the analysis of study cases of the multiple narratives of art history.
