Highlights of the Moco Museum Barcelona
While temporary exhibits frequently change, the museum's permanent collection remains a significant draw for visitors. The Moco Museum is divided into several sections that highlight its permanent collection.
1. Guillermo Lorca - Esplendor de la Noche
The first European solo show, Esplendor de la Noche exhibits the artworks of Guillermo Lorca, a contemporary Chilean artist whose world consists of big yellow-eyed cats, angelic girls, and other strange and unknown creatures. Lorca uses a blend of magic and realism to create large-scale oil paintings depicting dreamy and surreal sequences and storylines. Creating a balance of power and competition between nature and humankind, the exhibition comprises elements like beauty, luxury, horror, and paranoia – all of which make up this dark world of Lorca.
2. Moco Masters Barcelona
Moco Masters celebrates the legends as well as the rising stars of modern and contemporary art, who have contributed significantly to art, culture, and the world. The works of artists like Warhol, Basquiat, Banksy, and Kusama among others have found their way into the homes of people and inspired them to question and hope for a better future. The exhibition also displays the works of the next generation of artists who have the courage to challenge the norm, self-reflect, and ask questions.
3. KAWS Barcelona
Brian Donnelly, aka KAWS, has several beautiful artworks on display at this exhibition including ‘Man’s Best Friend Sofa’, ‘Final Days’, and ‘Passing Through Black’, to name a few. One of the most incredible and remarkable contemporary artists, KAWS’ works – graphics, sculptures, vibrant paintings, collectible artworks, and more – are a blend of elements ranging from pop culture and letters to nostalgic illustration. A lot of his works are inspired by cartoon characters like Smurfs, Spongebob, Snoopy, and The Simpsons, among others. In fact, the nickname KAWS is also based on the visual interaction between letters.
4. Banksy Barcelona
One of the most influential artists and a living example of the belief that art can change the world, Banksy was known for his incredible street art. He used dark humor and satire to address topics like anti-war, socio-political issues, and environmental issues. His art appealed to the collective consciousness of the people bringing them closer to art. The exhibition features a diverse and iconic collection of Banksy’s original works including ‘Laugh Now’, ‘Girl With Balloon’, ‘Flower Thrower’, ‘Crude Oil’ series, and more.
5. Digital Immersive Art
Technology has opened a whole new world for artists. This new art medium creates a multi-sensory atmosphere to enhance your experience of visiting the museum. The aim of digital immersive art is to engage the audience. Through this exhibition, teamLab, Les Fantomes, and Studio Irma wish to explore the possibilities of digital art and encourage a new form of communication to further enrich your museum experience.
6. The New Future Barcelona
The New Future is Europe’s first exhibition dedicated to the non-funginal tokens (NFT) phenomenon. Rare and unique, NFTs are crypto assets that keep track of the ownership of digital goods or art. It has changed the way we purchase and sell since there is, now, no limit on the goods that can be created and sold as an NFT. The exhibition comprises a collection of NFTs by the most innovative across the globe who seek to represent digital art that cannot be forged.
