Palma’s libraries come alive with contemporary art in Biblioteques en flames, a new project from CAC Palma Arts Visuals. Four artists – Stefano Calligaro, Bartomeu Sastre, Anna Dot and Enric Farrés Duran – present site-specific installations exploring books, text and reading, transforming each library into a space of discovery.
More than just exhibitions, Biblioteques en flames reclaims the role of libraries as cultural and social hubs at the heart of community life.
Artists & Interventions
- Joan Alcover: Stefano Calligaro large-format Poetricks (new poetic texts in Catalan/Spanish/English) + publications.
Bartomeu Sastre – small-format photographic/mixed-media works and a new, site-specific intervention among the reading areas. - Ramon Llull: Enric Farrés Duran – a new library-specific intervention developed after two research residencies (May & Sept).
- Es Molinar: Anna Dot – a kinetic, ceiling-hung sculpture exploring asemic writing inspired by sunlight and reading, with subtle textual insertions on the shelves.
