Introduction<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The objective of this exhibition is to undertake an exercise in “looking” from our post-pandemic present, based on works from a pre-pandemic past. To see how an image as iconic and integrated into our imagination, such as a Last Supper at a Gothic table, for a year and a half became an unimaginable type of meeting or at least one that was frowned on for health and social reasons. Thus, the exhibition will not be based on a mere collection of works of art about parties, social life in bars or dining, but on the fact that all these activities were eliminated from our lives for a quite a long period in our recent history.<\/h4>\n

Therefore, we begin with the “shock” of being deprived of this type of interaction and also the difficulty of “relating” again. Does the anxiety to make up for lost time coexist with a certain bitter awareness that something has been broken forever? These are some of the questions that underly our look at art through the works we have chosen.<\/h4>\n

Thinkers such as Georges Bataille or \u00c9mile Durkheim defined an eminently social expression like the party as an institution that challenges the anthropological model of homo economicus<\/em>, given that it pursues only individual interest, whereas a certain a social solidarity derives from every collective celebration. Thus, homo festus<\/em> (the collective expression of homo ludens<\/em>) would also be homo socialis<\/em>.<\/h4>\n

Ultimately, human interaction always determines the construction of a social reality. That is why our main objective will be for the exhibition itinerary to evoke what the pandemic deprived us of for almost two years and, at the same time, to symbolise the “recovery”, this time without restrictions.<\/h4>\n

Festive celebrations of a religious nature:
\nfrom Corpus Christi to the Festa Major.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Religious festivals have traditionally had a public dimension, expressed in aspects such as processions that, in the case of Corpus Christi or Holy Week , become the central event. The procession had to be a reflection of the maintenance of social order, so it was about involving all the locality\u2019s important social agents in order to create their best “showcase”.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The configuration of these urban retinues corresponds to a model of celebration that regulates and structures the festival: the space is defined by an itinerary along which the festive characters move. It is worth noting that the Church increasingly distanced itself from the presence of the festive entourage in religious processions, so that in the 19th<\/sup> century a separation occurred. This means that today, elements such as giants or mythical bestiary are associated with a more secular concept of Festa Major<\/em> (patron saint\u2019s day festival). Nevertheless, the most recent recovery of historic festive processions reintegrates them into their original function.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
