10 Gallery Exhibitions To See In Barcelona This Winter

The Catalan capital is home to a thriving art scene, both contemporary and classic, which can be enjoyed and admired in its many galleries and museums. From some of the most famous names in the world of art to emerging artists waiting for their first big break, there’s something for everyone in Barcelona. Read on to find out which are the most unmissable gallery exhibitions taking place in the city this winter.

El Conejo at Miscelanea

This multidisciplinary art space opened its doors in the heart of Barcelona’s vibrant El Raval neighbourhood back in 2004 and has rapidly emerged as one of the city’s most dynamic art spaces. In addition to its exhibitions, it organises music nights, workshops and festivals open to the public throughout the year. This winter, it is welcoming back artist Daniel José Cabrera Castro aka “El Dibujo”, or “The drawing”, with an exhibition entitled El Conejo – a tribute to the eponymous characters the artist perceives as being hyper-sensitive to their environments at times of emotional fragility.

Soft Power at the ADN Gallery

The ADN Gallery focuses on lesser-known artists, most of which are based in Barcelona, and it is a great place for those looking to search out a diamond in the rough. This winter, the gallery is showcasing work by Virginie Barré and Bruno Peinado in an exhibition entitled Soft Power, referring to the politics of implication in the facts and experiences that happen in daily life.

This winter, it is presenting the latest solo exhibition by artist Alicia Framis as part of the artist’s ongoing “Forbidden Rooms” project. Here, she presents a space filled with books which have been censored or caused their authors to be persecuted in some way, inviting us to reflect on the power of both the books and the censorship.
