In 2010 the French collector Philippe Méaille deposited at MACBA his private collection of works by Art & Language: more than 500 pieces of very different types – paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, documents, writings, typescripts, annotations, microfilms, maquettes and publications- leading us to reconsider the role of writing in the practice of art.
After four years of study, documentation and restoration, the Museum presents the exhibition Art & language Uncompleted, The Philippe Méaille Collection, which brings together an exceptional selection of works by this collective, many of which will be on exhibition for the first time.
The conversational, discursive and essayistic form that characterizes the production of Art & Language, unbroken to this day, is now continued through the participation of Michael Baldwin andMel Ramsden, and it’s been a pleasure to meet them again four years later!
Opening: Today, 18th of September, at 8pm
Dates: 19th September 2014 -12th April 2015
