The #ArtScience23 cycle resumes until the end of the year
Last spring, the Julio Muñoz Ramonet Foundation began a new cycle of activities that reconcile art and science, #ArtScience23, with time as the backbone. Now that the summer holidays are over, the cycle resumes its activity in autumn. With a multifaceted programme that reflects on time through storytelling, citizen science, dance, performance, dialogues, documentaries, workshops and all kinds of activities, you will be able to delve further into the world of time and all its variants.
Time is what has passed between the reading of the first word of this sentence and the present moment. It is something we all experience. It is a physical concept. Furthermore, it is a cultural artifice. It is the rhythm of life. Until just over a century ago, time and space had been considered absolute. Albert Einstein’s profound reinterpretation postulated that the speed of light is finite and constant for all observers and that meant that time and space became relative. For velocities close to the speed of light, time intervals dilate.
During this September, you can enjoy a series of activities related to The passing of time. From performing arts shows such as Retrats errants (Wandering portraits) by Grupo LaBolsa or Wolf by Natalia Jiménez, or citizen science projects such as RitmeNatura organised by CREAF and SMC, you will be able to reflect on who we are, where we come from and where we are going. A meeting place to question the importance of our species on earth, the conceptualisation of how time is advancing and how our whole environment perceives it.
#ArtScience23 will be extended over the following months. In October, the activities will evoke the autumn weather, and from November to mid-December, you will be able to enjoy the time that is narrated. This autumn, be sure to visit the gardens of the Julio Muñoz Ramonet Foundation to enjoy the intersections between art and science.
