...for the Staircase.
curated by the architect Oscar Tusquets
Oscar Tusquets has chosen thirteen main models of staircase (straight
flight, winding, half-turn, multiple flights, stairs in the air, the
impossible staircase...) which he presents in the form of models, plans,
photographs and life-size reproductions of real staircases. Professor Juan
Antonio RamÃrez has selected a few very important paintings and drawings
representing the entire history of art, in which each of the stairways has
been represented by great artists. These are accompanied by film footage
and literary excerpts.
The result forms an itinerary around emblematic works which take us from:
Miguel Ãngel Buonarroti to DalÃ, from Piranesi to Hitchcock, from Le
Corbusier to Frank Gehry, from Leonora Carrington to Miró and from Escher
to Julio Cortázar, works and creators of all times presented to be seen
and celebrated with all the senses.
