Barcelona 2019
Over the three week easter, I found return flights to Barcelona for 25 quid, I'd only visited the city when I was a child so I wanted to explore the art scene and explore the city as a creative. The street art was very vast, with practically every single shutter door plastered in graffiti, also a variety of murals from artists all over the globe. During
the last day of our trip, we spent the rainy day at the contemporary art
museum, the museum front is a skate scene hot spot. It was interesting to see
the similarities between art culture in
Bristol and Barcelona.
One of the oldest buildings in
Barcelona, in the Eixample district, is something that
disgruntled natives have wanted to tear down for a while. But the street
artists just saw it is a great opportunity to paint the town – and so it is now
covered in a grand mural of a hot air balloon with varying additions
graffitied on to enhance it.
I found these on a free app called Murs Leieurs where they show locations of street art hotspots across the city.

MacBa Barcelona was the most exciting
museum I've ever
visited, a lot of the exhibits were interactive!
The highlight being Christian Maclay: Compositions a collaborative exhibition taking over the whole top floor What stuck out to me in this exhibition
was how diverse and immersive it was. There was a range of work ranging from
sculpture, projection, sound, collage, text, paint and photography. There was even a whole room where the walls
were blackboard and visitors were invited to graffiti it!
