La Fabra Barcelona unveils 2026-2027 season with five solo shows

La Fabra – Centre d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona has announced its second season under director Claudia Elies, consolidating a model that blends local production, international research, mediation, and public programs. The season features five solo exhibitions by LUCE (Valencia, 1989), Nora Aurrekoetxea (Bilbao, 1989), Randa Maroufi (Casablanca, 1987), Jorge Satorre (Mexico City, 1979), and Claudia Pagès Rabal (Barcelona, 1990). The program opens in September with LUCE's installation 'De cua d'ull' as part of the 'Interludi #2' series, coinciding with Barcelona Gallery Weekend. In October, Aurrekoetxea presents sculptures and installations exploring architecture and bodily experience, while Maroufi's first solo exhibition in Spain examines how bodies are shaped by administrative, economic, and political systems through photography, installation, and film. This continues the Mediterranean reflection begun with Chiara Cartuccia's curated show. In spring, Pagès Rabal shows works including 'Paper Tears', her installation representing Catalonia at the Venice Biennale. From February to May, Satorre develops a drawing-based installation investigating links between craftsmanship, material history, and colonial processes. The public program includes initiatives like Practicum, Interludi, Entranyes, and Desbordaments, with collaborations from Eva Fàbregas, Pol Guasch, Sonia Fernández Pan, Brigitte Vasallo, and partnerships with hospitals, libraries, schools, and neighborhood groups.
