MORE THAN 6.400 PEOPLE VISITED YESTERDAY ES BALUARD
During yesterday, 6.436 people visited Es Baluard Museu d'Art Modern i Contemporar de Palma, two thousand more than a year before, when 4.409 visitors were registered. Because of the "Nit de l'Art" (Night of Art), the museum celebrated yesterday open doors from 10 am to 12 pm.
The visitors enjoyed the temporary exhibition "Pep Llambías. Septem" and new "The murmur of the world: from informalism to the new abstractions, 1950-2010," premiered yesterday, and "Alberto Garcia-Alix. Lo más cerca que estuve del paraíso", which was opened last 9 September.
"The murmur of the world" is a new edition of "Views of Es Baluard's collection". Curated by Juan Manuel Bonet, former director of the Reina Sofia museum and the IVAM, the exhibition will be open until 30 January 2011 and gathers 35 paintings by 35 different artists and proposes a vision focused on abstraction as a basic phenomenon of the European postwar, the 50s and 60s years of painting and the 20th Century last decades.
On the other side, "Alberto García-Alix. Lo más cerca que estuve del paraíso" is the particular tribute to the Balearic Islands by the Premio Nacional de Fotografía 1999. They are 56 photos and a slide show with about 150, illustrating the 20 years García-Alix photographed Mallorca, Ibiza and, above all, Formentera.
"Pep Llambías. Septem" shows at the Aljub until 24 October the installation of the artist from Alaró, who has reflected the seven capital sins and the seven Virtues.
