Aurèlia Muñoz. El tèxtil com a pretext

Preview: written before the show opened

Aurèlia Muñoz didn't count these as art. She left her screen-printed jute pieces out of the notebook in which she listed all her works, though she had each one photographed, and those photos are the first images in her archive. This pop-up shows three survivors from the museum's collection: the 1961 wall hanging La Barcelona gòtica and two 1962 table covers, printed by José Duran from her designs.

Around 1960 Muñoz switched from drawing to textiles and, with Montserrat Nogareda, ran a small print business called Yuti, turning printed burlap into curtains and bedspreads for homes and hotels. One hotel in Sitges was decorated entirely in her prints; the museum has kept three.

If you're going to MACBA's centenary retrospective, Aurèlia Muñoz. Ens, this is its prologue, across town and on almost the same dates. Entry is free. The Glòries entrance is closed for now: go in at Carrer d'Irena Sendler, 1.
