The Gaudí-Miró-Gomis: Deconstructed brings together works by Antoni Gaudí, Joan Miró, and Joaquim Gomis at Casa Batlló in Barcelona as part of the Gaudí Year 2026 program. Curated by Joana Seguro and Ester Ramos, the exhibition examines the creative connections between the architect, artist, and photographer through sculpture, archival photography, and immersive installations. Original works include Miró's The Warrior (1970) bronze sculpture and engravings from his Gaudí Series (1979), presented alongside Gomis's photographic documentation of Gaudí's architecture. The exhibition remains on view through January 2027.
The presentation incorporates a localized soundscape created from field recordings captured across Catalonia to reinforce the relationship between the artworks and their regional context. Creative studio Tomorrow Bureau contributes newly commissioned digital installations using a methodology described as digital archaeology, combining archival material with contemporary visualization techniques to reveal new interpretations of the three figures' shared themes of nature, materiality, experimentation, and spirituality.
