The exhibition was one of the events celebrating the 100th anniversary of Federico García Lorca's birth. Joan Brossa (Barcelona, 1919-1998) was a great admirer of the poet, and incorporated Lorca''s surrealism in his own work. The exhibition displayed a selection of visual poems, object -poems, sculptures, publications and other material pertaining to the Catalan artist. Brossa's visual poetry explores word games, calligraphy on paper, the disparity between word and image, and the multiplicity of connections that they evoke. On the other hand, his object-poems work by the alignment of two banal, everyday objects put out of context, isolated and "presented" on a wooden frame or in a display case. The result is that they work, as Duchamp's ready-mades, symbolically subverting the established order of the objects and challenging the viewer's intelligence, while provoking an intense poetic emotion that comes from its wonderful, strict simplicity. Coinciding with the exhibition, the Residencia de Estudiantes acquired his Diana, a work made between 1996 and 1998.
