MACBA

May 21st, on a sunny day in Barcelona, I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA). I am normally not a big fan of this type of art, but it was really interesting to discover something new.

On the second floor there was a whole section about Latvia and the development of art after the dismantlement of the USSR. Very interesting to see that simple pleasure like singing or meeting at a cinema are something amazing for them.

The glass structure above is one of the pieces that was exposed this day. The big one is made of vases stuck to each other, and the smaller ones at the back are made of glasses. Interesting how it catches the light...



My favorite item this day was designed by Diether Roth, a German who used to live in Switzerland in Basel. He called it the sea of chocolate ! If you have a close look at it, you can see that there are hundreds of chocolate, from Lindt, behind the glass. Really an original idea...
