Since its inauguration in September 2013, the Blueproject Foundation has been building up and consolidating a private collection of an open and varied nature. This selection of over 30 works by both young and established artists is now to be shown in public for the first time. The show is drawn mainly from the donations made by the artists who have taken part in the Foundation’s Residency Programme (2013-2020), but it also includes work issuing from the Production Grants (2020-2022) and a few one-off acquisitions resulting from our collaboration with institutions and events within the artistic context of the city, such as the Barcelona Gallery Weekend.
Because of the conditions in which it has taken shape, our collection is not presented as a homogeneous or thematic unity structured by a particular format or specific curatorial focus. On the contrary, each of the works presented here has a very close link with the investigations and subsequent exhibitions proposed by the artists when they applied as candidates for our residences or production grants.
