Inaugural conference of the exhibition "Mutant Skin"
Inaugural conference of the exhibition "MUTANT SKIN" by the artist Jordi Nin.
MUTANT SKIN is a photographic work of archaeology of the present that seeks the migratory spaces of the city where people leave their messages. They are ephemeral spaces, which are not regulated, and where everyone feels the right to express themselves freely.
Practically all of the photographic work is made with a medium-format film camera, a Hasselblad manufactured in Sweden in 1969. None of the images are photomontages or have been manipulated.
The work MUTANT SKIN was carried out in the cities of Barcelona and Berlin between 2018 and 2023, mainly in the oldest districts of the city where the streets are of human dimensions and are enriched by the mix of people from all over the world.
Jordi Nin is a multidisciplinary artist in audiovisual, cinematographic and photographic creations and one of the pioneers in carrying out urban interventions through lighting and large-format architectural projections on emblematic buildings.
The exhibition can be seen from April 16 to May 22, in the exhibition hall.

Conference | Necropolis Rehabilitation
The Necropolis of Tarraco, one of the best-known and best-preserved late Roman cemeteries of the Roman Empire, is immersed in an ambitious comprehensive rehabilitation project.
Under the direction of the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona (MNAT), the team of Tarragona architects Urbana Strata (composed of Pau Jansà, Genís Boix, Amàlia Jansà, Andreu Pont, Manuel Prieto and Eduard Polo) have opted for the reintroduction of the site into the urban fabric. A project that also aims to transform the surroundings of the Necropolis, as well as promote the history of Tarraco and a new centrality in Tarragona.
In this conference, we will learn about the details of the rehabilitation and how it will affect the accesses and surroundings of the site, its gardens, the museum building and also part of the Tabacalera estate.
Speakers:
-Mònica Borrell, director of MNAT
-Amàlia Jansà, representative of Urbana Strata

Conference | 'Cities Connection Project · Architectures in transition' | Maira arquitectes + Ballast architectes
As part of the 'Cities Connection Project · Architectures in transition' programme, we have the opportunity to listen to a conference by the architects of Maira arquitectes and Ballast architectes.
At Maira arquitectes, they propose work based on respect and knowledge of the framework-context in which they intervene, in the inclusion of the look of the gender perspective in the profession and in the proposals being at the same time sensitive in the search for regenerative solutions for the environment.
The Ballast architectes studio is a place of work and creation where everyone comes to contribute their experience, their feelings and their thoughts. Their different origins give them a plurality of experiences in construction methods (wood, metal, concrete, etc.) and serious knowledge in the restructuring of existing buildings, particularly in the context of heritage.
The Cities Connection Project · Architectures in transition' program includes an exhibition that can be seen from February 20 to April 11, in the COAC Tarragona exhibition hall, and three conferences:
20/02 · 7:30 p.m | h3o architects + Thomas Weckerle
13/03 · 7:30 p.m | Maira arquitectes + Ballast architectes
10/04 · 7:30 p.m | NUA arquitectures + HAZ arquitectura

Conference | 'Cities Connection Project · Architectures in transition' | h3o architects + Thomas Weckerle
As part of the 'Cities Connection Project · Architectures in transition' programme, we have the opportunity to listen to a conference by the architects of h3o architects and Thomas Weckerle.
At h3o they seek to create spaces that transcend the ordinary, fostering meaningful connections between people, contexts and nature. At the intersection of fantasy and theory, his projects weave new spatial and social possibilities that respond to the contemporary challenges of architecture.
Bruck + Weckerle Architekten's approach, which is both urbanistic and programmatic, aims to use the functional potential of a building task on a specific site and develop building volumes from it. The formal reduction and the examination of typologies and materials are an expression of his architecture.
