Description:
As part of the programme for the Universal Forum of Cultures 2004 in Barcelona, the Fundació Joan Miró will be showing “The beauty of failure / The failure of beauty”, an exhibition curated by Harald Szeemann about how the great dreams – the utopias – that seem so splendid in the abstract are doomed to failure when we try to materialise them, because they presuppose an entirely new, ideal society that can never exist.
