The exhibition is conceived as a chronological journey in the form of a visual reconstruction of the life and times and the personal, intellectual and aesthetic biography of the Catalan poet Joan Salvat-Papasseit (1894-1924), highlighting his contribution to the ideological character of the first Catalonia avant-garde, both in literature and the visual arts.

The exhibition is conceived as a chronological journey in the form of a visual reconstruction of the life and times and the personal, intellectual and aesthetic biography of the Catalan poet Joan Salvat-Papasseit (1894-1924), highlighting his contribution to the ideological character of the first Catalonia avant-garde, both in literature and the visual arts.
The exhibition is laid out in three basic spaces, based on the metaphor of the symbolic architectures that represent the poet’s evolution: ‘The Athenaeum’, the place of training and of communal politics, representing the period of the awakening of Salvat-Papasseit’s social conscience and his early journalistic writings; ‘The Gallery’, a space of a relation with the world of art and artists in the Galeries Laietanes, where Salvat-Papasseit worked, and a point of contact with the European avant-garde, and ‘The Sanctuary’, the poet’s last architecture, related to his convalescence and physical and aesthetic seclusion.
Five contemporary artists will contribute to this itinerary with their personal interpretations of the poet’s work, ideological thinking and cultural affinities: Francesc Abad, Isabel Banal-Jordi Canudas, Domènec and Eloi Puig have each created a specific project for the exhibition as a tribute to the continuing relevance and creativity of the poet and his ethical writings.
