In the exhibition space Tinta Invisible regularly presents projects that local and international artists develop in various artistic disciplines.

D’ombres i llunes by Lourdes Figuera Vidal

from March 17 to April 17, 2022

Donating the turn of a baking sheet, a glowing violet moon was born on a stormy sky, filled with darkness and bewilderment. Surprise I looked at it, then, full moons, new moons, waning moons were structuring my time and the life to the workshop, filling the seasons of rounded intentions and color, generating insufficient spaces where to explain the wandering of its nature.
Making me look at the sky, the sea that replicates you, the puddles of water on rainy days, multiplying at the same time your body in misty halos. And making me think with that belief of the Angolan bushmen, convinced that all water comes from the moon and that every being has to drink lunar water, sucking the dew from the bushes and grasses at dawn and dusk, as a kind of sacred invocation to the rain.
The contradiction... or not, of working on a series of etchings on Ignominy, turning...
CRYPTOFARMERS

from November 18 to December 18, 2021

Crypto Farmers is a Crypto Art project created to accompany visual artists in their journey to metavers, creating exclusive works in NFT (Non Fungible Token) format, managing their incorporation to the platforms, promoting and marketing them.
Currently, Crypto Farmers works with the Opensea platform, the largest digital art marketplace, and its operations center is in Barcelona.

Why NFT's?
We are excited about a new type of digital asset called a non fungible token or NFT. NFTs have new and interesting properties: they are unique, demonstrably scarce, tradable and usable in multiple applications. Just as with physical goods, you can do whatever you want: gift them to a friend, sell them on an open market, or throw them away. But unlike physical goods, they are equipped with encryption that protects digital goods.

Why a hybrid event?
Bringing the NFT...
Mordent by Albert Bonay

October 7 to November 7, 2021

The work presented in this exhibition gathers the graphic work created by the Barcelona artist Albert Bonay between 2012 and 2021.
Nets, a coin of 2 euros inverted, accumulations of wefts and spaces that collapse to reach the dark avellotada resulting from etching on iron or baking. The virtuality of Euclidean space now staggers in an infinite fugue.
Piranesian architectures and the absences of Goya's characters are developed in passable spaces and urban drifts.
The backlight reaches its climax in the form of an artificial spotlight, but as vivid and dramatic as that year that saw the birth of the prints in this series. The constant and obsessive drive that results in these worlds full of darkness, symbols, geometry and passion at the same time, is undoubtedly the fuel that the engraver seeks. More and more black.

Tots els homes vells by Antonio Luque

June 3 to July 3, 2021

"When I try to remember what I looked like when I was young, it is blurred in my memory. I have become very accustomed to the way I look today, and the way I look today is very strange to me. Maybe there is something in my skin that has been maintained over time. I am not sure. At some point all of us old men have had the fleeting ability to shine like comets. But time takes away these sparkles and makes their reflections disappear."

Zakaria Tamer

I have always had an eagerness to compile, as if I suffered from a Diogenes syndrome of residual images, filing, ordering like a librarian, people, landscapes or objects that for one reason or another captivated me. Trying to connect them with some themes that particularly interest me: unconditional love, the passage of time, the pain inflicted as a measure of control, the loss...
In one of my searches an image of an...
DES/COMPOSICIÓ by Jordi Pagés and Lurdes R. Basolí

April 29 to May 21, 2021

The Montseny has an extraordinary magnetism for those of us who are neighbors and see it as an inevitable totemic motto of our landscape. It is an unavoidable presence of our reality. A refuge that has become a symbol, emanating peace and order. Perhaps that is why it systematically attracts so many artists and creators who gloss its virtues, paint it, photograph it, are inspired by it or go to live there. It is, no matter how many years go by, the monte signus, the "signal mountain" that the Romans baptized it, a denomination that pointed out its special physiognomy. A radiating nucleus of creativity and connection with the ancestors that still lives on the fringes of the great maps of the fashions of the moment.
Perhaps that's why it has ended up uniting two such compact and singular gazes as those of Lurdes R. Basolí and Jordi Pagès. The one, a...
TRÀNSIT BOREAL, homage to Alfons Borrell and Josep Mª Mestres Quadreny

from 8 to 26 April 2021

From Tinta Invisible with Manuel Guerrero we want to invite you to the tribute exhibition to Alfons Borrell and Josep Mª Mestres Quadreny and remember two great artists through the editions that we do together.
In the tribute there will be interventions of friends from the world of culture. It will take place on two dates: the 8th at 6 pm and the 14th also at 6 pm. Seating is limited and by appointment only.

TRÀNSIT BOREAL
Josep Maria Mestres Quadreny, Alfons Borrell
2012

The project takes its title from one of Josep Maria Mestres Quadreny's electroacoustic pieces, Tráfico boreal.
The title evokes Brossa's posthumous poem "Sumari Astral".
Mestres Quadreny uses a computer program for automatic sound generation. The traffic of the spectators through the space and the cadence of their movements transform the sound field with the opening or closing of the sound...
PERSONAL STORIES

February 26 to March 30, 2021

Tinta Invisible presents the collective exhibition that gathers a selection of artist books made by students of Formative Cycles and Degree of the Massana School of Barcelona during the course 2019-2020.

"The notion of public space as a physical concretion in which the illusion of citizenship is dramatized, would function as a mechanism through which the dominant class manages not to make the contradictions that sustain it appear as evident, while also obtaining the approval of the dominated class by using an instrument - the political system - capable of convincing the dominated of its neutrality."
Manuel Delgado (2014). El espacio público como ideología. Catarata Ed.

How to give the form of an artist's book to a thought, an object or an experience associated with the critical notion of public space?

LA MENTIDA de Mercis Rossetti

from March 5 to April 10, 2020

The option of escape must always be considered. When that inevitable moment arrives when nothing compensates and the drama is so present that it is tiring, one must seriously consider the option of running away and relocating to the other side of the world. Abandoning one's homeland -and with it, all unresolved problems- is as unworthy a decision as any other.
Far from home we will build a new life with rotting foundations and silk curtains. We will let all the uncomfortable things we left behind feed on the milk of our indifference and we will project a luminous future gestated from guilt.
One day, we will adopt La Mentida, a little white-skinned girl who will take us by the hand when we leave the orphanage and will never let go. Every time we go to a bar, we will sit her on one of the bar stools, all alone, and we will watch her from afar. When we go to...
