iCasa BatllóEixample
Miró sculptures and prints and Joaquim Gomis's Gaudí photographs meet Tomorrow Bureau's AI, 3D-scan and animation installations. With the Fundació Joan Miró.
You walk in to Miró's bronzes and, next to them, their digital doubles: scans that show the tool marks and weathering on each sculpture, recorded this way for the first time. Co-curator Joana Seguro says the point is to look at them "like an archaeologist would", turning and enlarging heavy pieces that conservation keeps still.
The other half belongs to Joaquim Gomis, who photographed Gaudí's buildings in the 1940s, when parts of Barcelona's art world still called the architect eccentric. His whole archive, digitised, runs on a carousel, and the London studio Tomorrow Bureau feeds the same photographs into a generative AI piece. Tomorrow Bureau also built the set and the soundscape that runs through every room. Etchings from Miró's series named "Gaudí" hang among them.
It suits anyone who knows Gaudí and Miró but has never heard of Gomis. It's on Casa Batlló's second floor, with its own exhibition-only ticket, so you can skip the house tour. Last entry is 8:45pm, and under-13s are free.
Miró's bronzes and their scans
High-resolution scans of the sculptures show tool marks and weathering that you can't see on the originals standing beside them.
The Gomis carousel
Gomis's entire digitised archive turns on a carousel, material that even the Fundació Miró's earlier version of this show couldn't put on view.
The AI Gomis installation
Tomorrow Bureau's generative piece is built from Gomis's 1940s photographs of Gaudí's buildings and Miró's working spaces.
You came for Miró paintings: here he is sculptures and etchings, set beside screens.
