This exhibition offers a multifaceted, open-to-interpretation narrative that reviews the key factors that motivated the founding of the Center for Contemporary Art Studies (CEAC). The exhibition will explore the circumstances and people who drove modernism in Catalonia, emphasizing the figure of Joan Prats, who was instrumental in the creation of the Fundació Joan Miró-CEAC. It will also reflect on the impact of the Civil War and Franco's regime, and the desire to recover the ideals of the modern movement of the 1920s and 1930s.

In *The Third Turning Point*, the artist uses the format of a road movie to document the current state of a nomadic settlement built by Bouffier in the Algerian Sahara Desert in 1979. This settlement was commissioned by then-President Hooari Boumediene. The building represents Bouffier's utopian period, when his studio (RBTA) brought together architects, poets, painters, and others. This complex, originally planned to be built to modern standards, was ultimately unfinished, revealing the tension between the dreams of that time and the realities of modern colonial heritage.

The artist José Luis Rey Vila (born in Cádiz in 1900, died in Paris in 1983), using the pen name Sim, left behind one of the most vivid testimonies to the Spanish Civil War, particularly the Battle of Barcelona. As part of a series of exhibitions and projects commemorating the war, the National Museum recently acquired and will exhibit nearly one hundred paintings created by the artist during the Civil War. These works are of exceptional quality and highly expressive, some depicting the brutality and cruelty of war, vividly portraying its horrific aspects.

L'Antitêteis an anthology of poems by Tristan Tzara written between 1916 and 1932. The earliest poems coincide with the founding of the Dadaist movement by the poet, while the later ones were written as an active member of Surrealism. The work was first published in 1933 and reissued in three volumes as a bibliophile's edition in 1949 by Bordas éditeur in Paris. Max Ernst illustrated the first volume,Monsieur Aa l'Antiphilosophe, Yves Tanguy the second,Minuits pour géants, and Joan Miró the third,Le Désespéranto.

The first performance ofUbu Roi, by Alfred Jarry, in 1898, was a scandal. It dealt with an exaggerated and cruelly comic character that would later become a myth: “King of Poland, that is to say, from nowhere”, an “henorme” tyrant with greed, an infamous glutton and his “merdra”, which lets out all 6 letters from the first line. Thanks to this character, Jarry became famous at a very young age and even became a kind of celebrity. He adopted, in the most unforeseen circumstances, the role of Ubu with his accent, his extravagances, his manners, etc.
