Canódromo Meridiana: ¿Centro de arte?

El País y la Vanguardia publican que finalmente la sede para el futuro centro de arte de Barcelona será el canódromo de la Meridiana. Y que el proyecto lo asumen el Ayuntamiento y la Generalitat. La rehabilitación no será barata, pero ahí están los fondos enviados por Zapatero para Cataluña. Ahora falta saber cómo se escogerá la dirección, aunque en ocasiones anteriores han insistido que será mediante concurso público. E, importante, falta saber si ese concurso se convocará antes de iniciar las obras de rehabilitación o una vez ya esté todo decidido. Aquí hemos insistido en que el modelo que se siguió en Girona fue ejemplar.

PD: vista la decisión nuestra encuesta de opinión sobre cual era el lugar más indicado para situar el centro de arte de Barcelona deja de tener sentido. Así que la cerramos. Aunque no haya sido una encuesta representativa recordamos que el espacio ganador ha sido el Palau Macaya

A*DESK is a critical platform focused on publishing, training, experimentation, communication and dissemination in relation to contemporary culture and art, which is defined by transversality. The starting point is contemporary art, because that is where we come from and this awareness allows us to go much further, to incorporate other disciplines and forms of thought in order debate issues that are relevant and urgent for understanding our present.
