• item_info: "Transfer" Installation/Intervention 2018 Museu Joan Abelló
• description: “Traspàs”  is a proposal aimed at exploring the idea of art as a space for dialogue between the public and the museum through the use of objects that make up the collection of painter Joan Abelló. The concept behind this project is very simple: to transfer three pieces of art from the collection to three different areas outside the museum for a month. The intention is to encourage the inhabitants of Mollet del Vallès to engage in activations, approaches and reinterpretations in local spaces such as a primary school; the home of a local poet; and a traditional meeting place of residents. If we understand a museum’s collection to be a set of artworks that create and define the identity of the museum, then the act of moving three of its pieces outside represents a break with this way of understanding and consuming art, as well as an attempt to redefine the exhibition institution and our concept of heritage. So “Traspàs” can be seen as both an artistic project and a site-specific meditation exploring the hybrid exhibition space that is the showcase. A space that is both a museum and a public space, where art is exhibited as another element of day-to-day life.
