Conversation with Maria Fluxà, La Sage Femme. Louise Bourgeois

Es Baluard has organised as a parallel activity to the exhibition "Permanent Collection", a special tour around the work of Louise Bourgeois with the collector Maria Fluxà, her personal friend, great connoisseur of her work and co-author of the book Metamorfosi.  

“Permanent collection” represents the biggest rearrangement of Es Baluard’s funds since the exhibition “Implosió”. All of the works displayed – up to a total of 109 – mark out an itinerary with a chronological base that will plunge visitors into the debates surrounding Modernity and Post-Modernity, on the past future signified by an initiation journey towards new ways of understanding our present. The patrimonial idea of preserving the past in order to propitiate the conservation of material assets and revise the different histories of art and transmit them in real time leads us to analyse and research different lines and currents.
