Compositions
Curated by Juan Canela, Compositions will gather five site-specific interventions by artists represented by the participating galleries in public places of Barcelona, complementing the general exhibitions programme beyond the white cube. Compositions puts the spotlight on discovering or revisiting public spaces of Barcelona through the conjunction of contemporary artistic language, architecture and urbanism.

In collaboration with Casa Vicens, BGW presents Scales, a selection of pieces by six artists represented by some of the participating galleries: the artworks by Jean Denant, Marria Pratts, Francesco Arena, Jordi Mitjà, Vanesa Muñoz and Marc Larré will dialogue with different chambers of Gaudi’s house from October 10 to November 10.
ARCO GalleryWalk
As in previous editions, BGW benefits from the collaboration of Fundación ARCO in order to offer free guided tours to the participating galleries and venues. The aim is to support the approach between audience and artists and establish a relationship with the galleries involved in the event.
