Felanitx celebrates art: the \"Nitx de l'Art\" brings together over 200 artists<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A night of art alone is not enough in Felanitx - which is why the municipality celebrates from August 23 to 25<\/strong> a new edition of their popular \"Nitx de l'Art\"<\/strong>. This weekend, the city will be transformed into a center of contemporary art, where over 200 artists<\/strong> on 62 exhibition venues<\/strong> present their works. One of the main protagonists this year is the renowned Korean artist Do-ho Suh<\/strong>whose impressive installation \"Gate small\" in the Church of the Convent de Sant Agust\u00ed<\/strong> can be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparations for the Nitx de l'Art and the Felanitx Town Hall are in full swing, and through the Casa de Cultura, Connecta Cultura (Tina Codina) has been entrusted with a project in which the people of Felanitx can actively participate in this event in which art takes center stage...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do-ho Suh: A dialog between past and present<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The installation \"Gate small\" by Do-ho Suh, which can be seen in the church of the Convent de Sant Agust\u00ed, is a floating Korean portal that stands in sharp contrast to the baroque architecture of the church. It is the first time that this historic building has had a contemporary work of art<\/strong> is housed. Suh's work reflects the themes Nostalgia, loneliness and a lack of belonging<\/strong>that many people who have had to leave their homeland feel. The Curator of the exhibition, Sebasti\u00e0 Mascar\u00f3<\/strong>describes the installation as a \"modular emotional architecture\" that makes it possible to take memories with you as if it were a transportable house. This installation can be Sunday from 7 to 11 pm<\/strong> can be visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interactive art and \"do it yourself\" projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Suh's installation, there are numerous other art projects to discover in Felanitx. In the Miquel Barcel\u00f3 Room of the Casa de Cultura<\/strong> huge trowels and spatulas greet visitors. These tools are part of the project \"DIY (Do it yourself)\"<\/strong> of the artist Marcos Vidal<\/strong>which deals with the transformation of the Mallorcan Pla (interior of the island) as a result of urbanization. Vidal, winner of the art prize of the last \"Nitx de l'Art\", shows a total of 14 works<\/strong> in this exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another highlight is the interactive art project \"M\u00e9s enll\u00e0 dels l\u00edmits\"<\/strong>. Visitors can explore the streets of Felanitx by QR code<\/strong> immerse yourself in a story full of local secrets. This experience was created under the direction of the artist Albert Iglesias<\/strong> in cooperation with Tina Codina<\/strong> and suggests to visitors that there may be more than just art in Felanitx - possibly even aliens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A varied supporting program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \"Nitx de l'Art\" not only offers visual art, but also a varied supporting program. At various locations in Felanitx there are Live music<\/strong>one Workshop for families<\/strong> in the M8 Taller serig\u00e0fic<\/strong> from 20.30 to 22.30<\/strong> and other activities. The official start<\/strong> of the art night is on Friday at 9.30 p.m.<\/strong>immediately after the award ceremony for this year's art prize. The exhibitions are open on Saturday from 7 to 10 p.m.<\/strong> and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/strong> and 7 to 10 p.m.<\/strong> open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echo of the art night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who can't get enough, many of the exhibitions are still open for a while after the \"Nitx de l'Art\". We particularly recommend the show \"Mareas vivas\"<\/strong> from Yolanda Costa<\/strong> in the Fundaci\u00f3n Barcel\u00f3<\/strong>which is additionally supported by the August 29 - 31<\/strong> each from 8 to 10 p.m.<\/strong> is open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
