Apartheid. The South African Mirror set out to be a con-ceptual and visual approach to the old and new forms of prejudice and racial discrimination, based on a wide selection of original artworks and documentary material.
The exhibition documented the main stages and characte-ristics of a tragically famous history and scenario which speak not only of the South African experience, but also of its European legacy, of racial ideologies and of the racist clichés and practices fed by Western modernism, and how even today these prejudices constitute a powerful instrument for justifying and maintaining the most arbitrary injustices as well as an important, almost impenetrable barrier for the construction of a cooperative social order, which is egalita-rian and ultimately socially sustainable.
The point of departure for the exhibition was a historical approach to racism, which documented the development of the ideologies and practices that establish different catego-ries, “races” of human beings, in the same period, paradoxi-
cally, in which modern ideas are established with regard to dignity and equal rights for all human beings.
The exhibition then carefully explored the social, political, economic, cultural and territorial system of apartheid in force in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. Apartheid as an extreme and transparent form of deeply-rooted Western racism
In parallel with this historical narrative, the exhibition dis-played a wide selection of art works created in South Africa from the 19th Century to the present, with special emphasis on the period of apartheid.

This exhibition was not conceived as a chronological, narrative description of a historical period but rather a way of understanding a dense, complex process that acted as a bridge between dictatorship and democracy and which affected, and was made by, the people who experienced it. In fact, the exhibition centred on individuals and collectives rather than on the leading actors in the political process, and recounted the changes that occurred at all levels in Spanish society in the 1970s and ‘80s.
The exhibition opened with an introductory space that focused on the internal contradictions of the Francoist regime by reconstructing a secret meeting of the Council of the Movement. It then took the form of eight thematic areas that outlined the evolution of a society that dismantled everything that the Francoist regime had, or so it seemed, left fi rmly in place: Strike, Police Station, Schools, Groups that Lived Together, Psychiatric Hospital, Music Scene, Representations and Questions regarding the Transition.
Related activities: Round table, The Political Transition (January 17); Humour as a Political Weapon (February 6); On Torture (February 19 and 20); installation, Mural by REP (February 3 to 6); and concluding round table Unanswered Questions about the Transition. See page XXX

Las mujeres que no conocemos. A Film in 24 Frames, together with Unas fotos en la ciudad de Sylvia (Photos in the City of Sylvia) and En la ciudad de Sylvia (In the City of Sylvia), are the three parts that make up the latest project by José Luis Guerín. Three different formats around the same discourse, the same theme: the director’s refl ection on the female portrait, fugitive time and cinematographic creation.
In Las mujeres que no conocemos, an installation produced for the Spanish Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennial in 2007, Guerin chose narrative photo-installation as his medium, midway between fi lm and photography. The result was a new step towards the convergence between fi lmmakers and the museum, and explored a trail in which the CCCB is a pioneer: fi lm exposé.

Post-it Cities explored the different overlapping uses of urban territory, focusing on the viewpoints offered by architecture, town planning and the visual arts. The exhibition explored the phenomenon through a wide range of projects based on the idea of “post-it cities”, a type of ephemeral city that infects regular cities through non-codifi ed, temporary, anon-ymous uses that are implicitly critical.
Occasional Urbanities set out to explore the many different existing and possible variations of this phenomenon in order to document it and refl ect on its meaning: an industrial estate that becomes an illegal race circuit at weekends, the use of the building-site city for the adventures of explorer-nerds, variants of the squatter phenomenon, the use of different wastelands for occasional meetings (nomad camp, rave), the conversion of a daytime campus into an area of nocturnal sex trade, etc.
Given the set of parameters it brings into play, this project led us into a series of issues that are particularly relevant to contemporary culture: the need to create “available spaces”, the versatile nature of the idea of recycling, the emergence of new subjectivities, etc.

Ten photographers from the agency Magnum –Abbas, Anto-ine D’Agata, Bruce Gilden, Harry Gruyaert, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Gilles Peress, Mark Power, Alec Soth, Dono-van Wylie and Patrick Zachmann– evoked the infl uence of cinema on their imaginary.. The exhibition invited photo-graphers representing different generations and trends of documentary photography to each produce an original work, showing how the cinema can infi ltrate their way of capturing reality. The resulting pieces, photographs or audiovisual installations, revealed how a fi lmmaker, a fi lm or a single shot have left an imprint on their imaginary and their body of work. Transitions, infi ltrations and superposition between the two worlds.
Film is an inspiration ‘d’après’ (after) the images, as Henri Cartier-Bresson once described it. According to Cartier-Bresson, cinema is always that which follows, the image captured after the event. The moving image in opposition to the still image. Could cinema instead be the image “before”, that is, the image that inspires the photographer in his attempt to capture the real? How do fi lms affect a photographer’s imaginary? What part of dreams, ghosts and obsessions does a photographer project onto the world?
Related activities: Under the Infl uence, a screening and lecture series in which some photographs from Magnum Photos and several presti-gious artists (from Donovan Wylie, Mark Power and Gueor-gui Pinkhassov to Francesc Torres, Ignasi Aballí and Joan Fontcuberta) analysed their work in the light of a particular fi lm that infl uenced them. In addition, the educational works-hop Film, Capture, Show invited children and young people to explore fi lm, photography, and the boundary that joins and separates the two arts.
J. G. BALLARD. AUTOPSY OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM
Dates July 22 – November 2
Venue Sala 2
Curator Jordi Costa
Production CCCB
Truly a visionary writer, J. G. Ballard, who died in the spring of 2009, constructed a body of work marked by recurrent themes and obsessive symbols that goes beyond genre codes in order to decipher the present and propose plausible views of the future.
Ballard’s oeuvre is an open-ended body of work that still has many revelations in store for his readers and the capacity to throw light on the course of our future. An author with an enormous infl uence on later generations of creators in all disciplines, from fantasy cinema to industrial music, Ballard is the author, among many other works, of The Empire of the Sun and Crash, adapted for the cinema by Spielberg and David Cronenberg, respectively.
This exhibition offered an itinerary through Ballard’s creative universe: his times and obsessions, his dissection of the secret keys of the contemporary world, the traces of his own life in his fi ctional body of work, his artistic and literary refe-rents, and his precise, disenchanted intuitions of a future life governed by the concepts of aseptic dystopia and disaster.
Through a very wide range of media —scenographic insta-llations, audiovisual installations, the complete collection of Ballard’s works, works by artists inspired by Ballard and a selection of reference materials— the exhibition was struc-
tured according to the following sections: “What I believe”, From Shanghai to Shepperton, Dream landscapes, Inner space, Disaster area, Technology and pornography, Asepsis and neo-barbarism, Epilogue, Bibliographic area, “Ballar-dian” art.
Related activities: Several activities relating to the writer were organised as part of Kosmopolis: the screening of fi lm adaptations of some of his books and two round tables, Readings of Ballard in the Latin Context and Under the Sign of Ballard, with the parti-cipation of numerous international writers and intellectuals including Jordi Costa, Marcial Souto, Agustín Fernández Mallo, Marta Peirano, Toby Litt, Bruce Sterling, V.Vale and Simon Sellars. A blog was also set up to allow the online community of Ballard fans to write articles on how reading Ballard had infl uenced their life and work, and which inclu-ded a competition of videos made using mobile phones. The responses to the call for entries produced interesting modu-lations of the “Ballardian” sensibility in a variety of styles ranging from miniature parody to psychogeographic derives.

IN THE CHINESE CITYPERSPECTIVES ON THE TRANSMUTATIONS OF AN EMPIRE

For a decade now, China has been immersed in major process of transformation. This can be seen in its cities, which are undergoing an unstoppable process of construction and des-truction that is profoundly transforming them with amazing speed.
This exhibition contextualised these changes in the conti-nuum of the country’s history and culture. Its aim was to present the reality of the city past and present, in four of its aspects: town planning, architecture, landscape and infras-tructure. It also offered an opportunity to compare these realities with those of the Chinese and Western imaginaries, and with news and propaganda or similar mechanisms.
The exhibition was based on the display of archaeologi-cal documents, works of art, models, archive images and contemporary art Chinese characters and the key concepts of Chinese civilisation (garden, writing and culture, man and the earth, water, Feng shui, construction and destruction and family) were the basic elements that offered a dynamic reading of the Chinese territory and everything that affects its current population of more than three hundred million people. The exhibition interwove these concepts into a struc-ture that presented six cities as examples of these urban trans-formations: Suzhou, Xi’an, Chongqing, Canton, Shanghai and Beijing.
In this context, fi lms took on a particular importance. Five Chinese fi lm directors contributed a fi lmmaker’s point of view on the fi ve cities included in the exhibition. Prestigious fi lmmaker Jia Zhangke orchestrated the work of four of his colleagues: Chen Tao, Peng Tao, Li Hong Qi, Han Jie. Jia Zhangke himself, who directed the portrait of the city of Suzhou with the short fi lm Cry me a River, was included in the offi cial, non-competitive selection of the 65th Venice Film Festival.

To coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Ottawa Treaty for the prohibition of antipersonnel mines, Gervasio Sánchez deci-ded to go back and pick up the thread of the stories of the project Mined Lives, which he began in 1995. In this new project, the photographer showed the progress of those affected, and the problems they have encountered in countries like Colum-bia, Cambodia, Iraqi Kurdistan and the places with the most landmines on earth: Bosnia, Mozambique and El Salvador. He also included portraits from countries like Afghanistan, Angola, Nicaragua and Sudan. Some of the subjects of his photographs were children when they were portrayed for the fi rst time, and now they are adults.
The humanitarian impact of landmines is strongest and most devastating than the effects of any other weapon: they don’t just mutilate limbs and lives, they also make it impossible for far-mers to access their lands, women to reach wells, and children to be able to go to school. As a consequence, many lands end up uncultivated, and poor families see their income noticeably decrease.
The presentation of the exhibition and the book that was publis-hed at the same time were part of a tour through the principle cities of Spain and Europe, with the aim of raising the awareness of the public and the media, and also of politicians, of the rava-ges of these deadly weapons.

For the fourth consecutive year, Photographic Social Vision Foundation, in collaboration with the CCCB, presented the exhibition World Press Photo.
The World Press Photo exhibition, a collection of the winning entries in the World Press Photo Competition, is internatio-nally recognised as the world’s major touring showcase of photojournalism.
Each year, an independent, thirteen-member international jury chooses the winning photographs from submissions by pho-tojournalists, agencies, newspapers and photographs around the world. The photos compete in 11 categories: news events, current affairs, people in the news, sports, action photography, sports reportage, contemporary issues, daily life, portraits, nature and art and entertainment.
Each year, the winning photographs are exhibited in 80 cities in 40 countries, on condition that all works have to be shown without censorship of any kind. The fact that thousands of visitors from around the world see this exhibition demonstra-tes photography’s power to overcome linguistic and cultural boundaries.
World Press Photo provides images for the collective memory. Stunning photos that have, on many occasions, changed the course of history and public opinion.

I+C+i (research + development + inno-vation) is a program of talks focussing on the integration of research, deve-lopment and innovation processes in the world of culture. Structured into four main themes (Crisis and Trans-formation of Formats, The Concept of Programming, Diffusion and Commu-nication of Cultural Projects and Inno-vation Dynamics), each session tackles some of the dilemmas that emerge from cultural praxis and the processes of change affecting cultural institutions and the traditional agents of knowledge transmission.
Throughout 2007 and 2008, artists, curators, managers, designers and experts in innovative cultural projects participated in I+C+i. Ekow Eshun, Joan Rieradevall, Antoni Abad, Àlex Rigola, Òscar Dasí, Marc Boada, Òscar Vilaroya Gerfried Stocker, Arantxa Mendiharat, Roberto Gómez de la Iglesia, Santi Eraso,
José Luis de Vicente, Óscar Abril, Pedro Soler, Ian Kirk, Rosa Pera, Joan Roca, Friedrich von Borries, Marleen Stikker and Shaun Chang, among others, presented pioneer natio-nal and international initiatives such as: Ars Electronica, Disonancias, Shrin-king Cities, The Waag Society…
In 2008, I+C+i continued to explore the thematic areas mentioned above, focussing the six sessions on the fundamental questions of the program: What formats are in crisis? How can we improve the way we communicate complex cultural projects? How are new audiences generated? What kinds of programs favour the emergence of a new culture? Is it necessary to create I+D+i departments in cultural institutions?
NOW is a project focussing on the scientifi c, technological, artistic, social and spiritual transformations that are taking place at the start of the 21st Century. NOW has been conceived as a working platform, with a series of objectives in the following thematic areas: Open Science, Cypersphere, Eco Factor, Art Now, Emerging Culture, Psi Particle and New Activism.
The fi rst NOW program in 2008 explored the interrelation between the free software movement and emerging culture; the challenges that humanity is facing in order to meet basic food and water needs and the new forms of activism that have arisen in response to these issues; and, based on one of the great paradoxes of our time, the fact that in a period in which there is major scientifi c progress in the exploration of outer space we have so much light pollution that it is diffi cult to observe the planets and the stars, the program also analysed new developments in cosmological theories that, ultimately,
question the place of human beings in the known universe. The Bank of Common Knowledge was also part of the program once more, as was an interactive installation on the radio spectrum co-produced with the AV Festival, Newcastle.
The second 2008 NOW program focus-sed on exploring the different formats that the NOW platform can adopt as it develops in conceptual and formal terms. British theatre company Stan’s Cafe presented their performative installation Of All the People in All the World..., a visual construction based on statistics relating NOW’s themes. There was also the fi rst MiniFest of NOW Documentaries, a selection of works that dealt with the project’s seven thematic areas, along with spe-cial presentations and debates.

Looking towards new horizons and predicting the future have become one of our day to day passions. Fast Forward is the new regular event that was laun-ched jointly by the CCCB and the Grec Festival in 2008. Its purpose is to explore everything that is gestating in the perfor-ming arts, by unearthing material that is still buried, in progress, in several key creative centres around the planet. This fi rst program put the spotlight on London and the United Kingdom, and introduced audiences to projects such as Alice Bell, by Lone Twin Theatre, Presumption by Third Angel and Test Run by Vincent Dance Theatre, among others.
BCNmp7 has established itself as one of the most innovative events in Barcelona’s music scene. The thematic focus of each session, the fact that it encompasses all contemporary genres, the critical refl ection on changes that are happening now and the originality of the concerts have made it a point of reference for a new audience.
Groups such as Oval, Russian Red, Jarboe, Institut Fatima, 12Twelve, Nittle, Ajo y Mastretta, Jonathan Richman, Kiko Veneno, Muchachito, Bert Janch, Voice of Seven Woods Ceza, Charlie Gillet, Alexander
Hacke, Sebastian Escofet, Nouvelle Vague and Ciudadano, are some of the artists that defi ned previous seasons.
In 2008, BCNmp7 took on new impetus with an intensive program focussing on debating and presenting the infl uence of women in pop music, emerging Euro-pean scenes, the hidden relationships between science and music and groups with their own personal universes. There was also a special section on the “laboratory” that Barcelona’s Raval area is becoming, with a mixing of music of all kinds and from different cultures.

In its fourth edition, the biannual festival Kosmopolis (K08) reinforced its position as a major expanded literature event. It fi lled fi ve days with opportunities to continue to explore new themes, genres and formats that refl ect its innovative spirit through its core sections: spoken word, written word and electronic work.
Kosmopolis 09 focussed on offering a synthesis of the most pressing global problems, and how they are refl ected in the changes affecting literary practice. The 2008 program favoured the kind of activism that uses the weapons offered by culture and the arts.
The commitment of writers to new political, social and envi-ronmental causes provided the structure for the event, which also looked at the mutations that journalism is currently undergoing due to the impact of new media and the potential revolution entailed by the trend towards multimedia conver-gence.
In addition, K08 launched the Kosmopolis Archive, and pre-sented a monographic on the work of J.G. Ballard, a homage to Agustí Bartra, a new Canal Alfa broadcast, an exploration of the links between the tradition of modern poetry and more recent genres like rap, spoken word and sound poetry, and the experimental area Kosmçotica, which looked at the connections between literature and hypermedia.
Participants included: Guillermo Altares, Laurie Anderson, Jon Lee Anderson, Arkadi Bàbtxenco, Russell Banks, Roger Bartra, Edmond Baudoin, Roger Bernat, Robert S. Boynton, Enric Casasses, J. M. Coetzee, Flàvia Com-pany, Robert Coover, Dave Eggers, Gonzalo Escarpa, Eduard Escoffet, Agustín Fernández Mallo, Eloy Fernán-dez-Porta, Bartomeu Ferrando, Ernest Folch, Andrew Franklin, Gao Xingjian, Daniel García Andújar, Dan Gill-mor, John Giorno, Amira Hass, Robyn Hitchcock, Pierre Joris, Elias Khoury, Hari Kunzru, Donna Leon, Toby Litt, Lydia Lunch, Max, Miqui Otero, Perejaume, Francis Pisan, Lou Reed, Jorge Riechmann, David Rieff, Joaquín Rodríguez, Dan Simon, Bruce Sterling, Emir Suljagić, Tzvetan Todorov and Antònia Vicens, among others.

Gandules 08 looked at interculturality, taking as its point of departure a basic principle of cinema: point of view. In the form of fi ction, essay and documentary, the fi lms shown during Gan-dules 08 dealt with two of the big motifs that usually entail ques-tioning the point of view: journeys that lead to another culture and situations in which different cultures share a single place.
The program included fi lms about the supposed exoticism of otherness, tourism, the transformation of cities, small or private spaces that mirror large intercultural movements, moves due to migration, multi-ethnic neighbourhoods, personal encounters, itineraries between South and North, hidden and invisible zones in which there is traffi c of goods and people...
The outdoor cinema program in the summer of 2008 collected stories about the imaginary that exist in fi ction, cinema and myths; about discoveries of the real or about the way in which cultures change when they come into mutual contact.

OVNI – the Observatory Archives pre-sents a critique of contemporary culture and society using a variety of strategies: independent documentary, video art and mass-media archaeology, to name just a few. During the screenings, 20 consul-tation units offered visitors access to the Archive’s entire holdings, over 2000 audiovisual documents .
OVNI 2008 presented screenings of a series of videos that made up an initial refl ection on marginalization and cros-sing over, and different forms of exodus - personal and collective, physical and psychic. It explored different forms of marginalization and exploitation, which are directly below the oppressive pres-sure of power: workers in export facto-

BAFF has kept grown year after year, to the point that it is now one of the most important European festivals in its fi eld, and an essential event on the Spanish festival calendar.
For its tenth year, the festival expan-ded its exhibition spaces and added a new section, BAFF10, which showed the ten essential works shown at the festival since it began. These new sections were joined by the familiar Offi cial Section, AS (Asian Selection), D-Cinema and Anime space. Hong Kong was the guest country at BAFF 2008, in recognition of the special importance of its industry in the con-text of Asian and Chinese fi lm.
The Jury, made up of Keiko Araki, director of the PIA Film Festival (Japan), Tran Anh Hung, fi lm director, Kim Dong-Ho, director of the Pusan
International Film Festival (Korea), and Daniel Pérez, head of fi lm and television channels on Teuve, awarded the Cinematk prize, which offers the winning fi lm a distribution deal for Spain, to Secret Sunshine by Lee Chang-dong (South Korea, 2007) and the Golden Durian to With a Girl of Black Soil by Jeon Soo-il (South Korea, 2007).
The Audience Prize, decided by the votes of viewers, went to Indian fi lm Om Shanit Om by Farah Khan (India, 2007). Finally, the jury made up of Marion Klomfass, director of the Nippon Connection festival in Ger-many, Alejandro G. Clavo, fi lm critic, and Daniel Tubau, writer, awarded the D-Cine prize to Bamboo Shoots by Jian Yi (China, 2007).
In line with its desire to deepen the study and diffusion of urban documentary photography, the Centre de Fotogra-fi a Documental de Barcelona once again organised TRAFIC, a forum and platform that enabled photographers, professionals and groups that work with photography to share material among themselves and with the general public, with the aim of stimulating citizens to refl ect on their surroundings.
TRAFIC 08 included the presence of acclaimed artists Antoine D’Agata, Philip Blenkinsop and Paco Elvira, and the participation of many entities and groups that were in tune with the idea that structured this year’s program: the refl ection on resistance in the context of social issues and problems in our society.
The workshops (with D’Agata, Blen-kinsop and the Platoniq collective), the non-stop projections, the presentations (collectives on-demand, Radio Nikosia, 7.7 magazine, Invisible magazine, 2nd Catalan Photography Conference, forum of photography collectives) the debate Resistance to Forgetting, the exhibition The Gesture of Resisting, and portfolio reviews for photography students made up a program that help to consolidate this regular event that forms part of the CCCB’s autumn focus on photography.

The spotlight on this year’s Flamenco de Ciutat Vella was on fl amenco singing or “cante” and the voice. It was up to Terremoto, el Torta, el Pele and Montse Cortés to prove that singing conceals much of the mystery of fl a-menco. Hiniesta Cortés, La Farruca, Rafaela Carrasco and Carmen Cortés ensured that “baile”, or dance, also got the attention it deserved, rounding off the evenings in the Pati de les Dones.
The CCCB Hall hosted rumba catalana performances by artists like Gertrudis, Papawa, Ai, Ai, Ai and Los Manolos, the music of guitarists Juan Manuel Cañizares, Agustín Carbonell “El Bola” and José Antonio Rodríguez, and the launch of the latest releases by the legendary Guadalquivir and the collective SUK.
2008 brought new additions to the festival, such as the Ciutat Vella Audiovisual Flamenco Festival P’ALUCINE, which was created in order to encourage fl amenco-related audiovisual creation, and collaborations with other groups, entities and venues: Esmuc, Sala Llantiol, Club Hipersons and Carmelitas, among others. This fi rst P’ALUCINE awarded prizes to two of the many works submitted: the prize for best video clip went to Será mejor by Muchachito, Joni Ferzerta, Lagatacristi and Kote Berberecho; while the prize to the best documentary went to Dame veneno by Pedro Barbadillo and Luis Clemente (Spain, 2007).
On the Saturday morning, the children’s show by La Botzina brought fl amenco to an audience of youngsters.

In its fi fteenth year, the Sonar festival continued its commitment to advanced music projects and the most innovative art. More than ever, the 2008 program included a crossover between totally different styles, proving once again that the festival does not rule out any musi-cal project. This inclusiveness, together with a special focus on women artists, were the two main elements underpin-ning Sónar 2008. Camille, Goldfrapp, Leila, Yo Majesty, Madness, Yazoo, Soulwax, Miss Kittin, Jeff Mills and Mike Banks were some of the highlights of a program that included over 140 live shows and DJ sets.
SonarMática, the regular exhibition at the CCCB, focussed on the relationship between fi lm and reality, going back to the origins of the seventh art on one hand, and offering future forecasting exercises on the other. SonarCinema and the record fair rounded off the activities held at the CCCB as part of the Sónar day program.
The installation in the Pati de les Dones, the concerts and the presen-tations that made up Zeppelin 2008 aimed to shed light on the way in which musical and cultural expressions are produced in the process of sha-ping people’s tastes, on the infl uence of advertising in this process, and on public institutions’ actions in favour of cultural industries that have profi t making as their main aim.
These were the lines of research of the artists and groups invited to this
seventh Zeppelin: BMB (Justin Benet), Campo de Interfenecias (Edith Alonso y Antony Maubert), Daniel Charles, Ciutat Sonora (Noel Garcia), Josep Lluís Galiana, Brandon LaBelle (BMB), Carmen Pardo, Peter Szendy, La música que no suena (Franco Fabbri, Jonathan Sterne, Josep Martí, Anahid Kassa-bian, Marta García Quiñones, Ola Stockfelt).

A three-day event focusing on inde-pendent creative projects based on controversial interventions in mediated popular culture that explore potential mutations in global communication dynamics, their audiences and the contemporary technology panorama. The idea is to explore the common ground between mass culture, con-temporary art and the technological revolution that is in process, without heeding the borders between different disciplines and formats. In 2008, The Infl uencers presented examples of short-circuits between music, art and ideology, stories of fi ctitious identi-ties and the spreading of false news, surrealist interventions in technological
and ideological propaganda, myste-rious communication campaigns and other urban recipes. It looked to the disrespectful manipulation of common-place symbols, to excess and political incorrectness, in a search for keys with which to act in the present and imagine the future.
With the participation of: Trevor Paglen, Santiago Cirugeda, mono-chrom, Brody Condon, Alterazioni Video, Laibach, Alan and Jenny Abel

In 2008, the 17th Dance Days, Inter-national Festival of Dance in Urban Landscapes, was held as part of Barcelona’s Summer Festival, the Grec. Over four days, buildings, parks, streets and squares cane alive as dance met audiences in the urban environment.
The festival aims to bring contempo-rary dance in all its formal variety to audiences of all ages and levels, free of charge, in order to explore choreo-graphic work in urban space and to generate debate and refl ection around public space. To this end, some of the performances by Spanish and interna-tional dancers were created specifi cally for each space. In addition, a showcase of short pieces, music, improvisations and screenings was held each evening at the CCCB’s Pati de les Dones.
The 2008 program included the participation of Foofwa d’Imobilité, Jordi Cortés, Rootlessroot Com-pany, Storm, Barcelona Addictos & The Circle of Trust, Salah, Yiphun Chiem, Ertza, Julie Dossavi, Ver-tical Danse Cie. Noemí Lapzeson, Companyia Metros de Ramon Oller, Eddie Ladd, Ariadna Estalella, Pierre-Yves Diacon, Brodas, Sound System Dance Crew, Lakka, Styl’ o Styl and Art.1.

Hipnotik is the Barcelona event dedi-cated entirely to Hip Hop culture, the cultural movement that emerged in New York in the seventies and is now part of global culture, as can be seen by the impressive audience participation in the festival’s fi fth year.
The main concerts included the parti-cipation of Violadores del verso, Tote king, Falsalarma y Shuga y Loren, and there were also the Block Party shows, with performances by Warriors vybz, Chyntia, Beat spoke, DJ Yulian, Aerolineas Subterráneas, My space, El Garou La Meka, Invicible, Dive, Tajo y Chichi, Defi J, Actitud Maria Marta, Cres, Welelo, Feebee, Al Haca, RQM and Debilorhytmicos. The pro-gram of activities was rounded off with
the Battle of the Year Iberica, MC battles and the screening of the fi lm El truco del manco, as well as round tables and lectures.
To coincide with the Hipnotik Encoun-ter, on Saturday September 13, the Anella Cultural organised a live Internet broadcast of the concerts by Falsalarma and Tote King, the fi rst vir-tual MC battle and a multi-point graffi ti that was painted simultaneously at the CCCB and venues in Reus and Lleida.
Once again, the Hipnotik Encounter proved that Hip Hop culture goes far beyond tired old stereotypes.

In its eighth year, the Docúpolis festi-val offered an opportunity to discuss good practice in relation to intercultu-ral dialogue, peaceful co-existence and shared identities Here, documentaries became a basic tool for revealing the diffi culties of intercultural dialogue, and the ideal medium for social and political refl ection and critique.
The festival awarded the Docúpo-lis Prize for the Best Documentary to The Red Race, by Chao Gan, a Chinese documentary that shows the harsh training regime that 6 year old children, future Olympic competitors, go through.
La Reina del condón, by Silvana Ceschi and Reto Stamm (Switzerland), won the award for the Best Debut Film; Death Valley Superstar, by
Michael Yaroshevsky (Canada), won the Best Short Documentary; and the fi lm The Mosquito Problem by Bulga-rian Andrey Paounov won the OFF Docúpolis category.
The Third Eye Prize to the Best Experimental Documentary went to Solo, by Maciej Pisarek (Poland); the Human Rights Prize to Fighting the silence, by Lles and Femke van Velzen (Holland); Fotografi as by Andrés di Tella (Argentina) won the Best Latin American Documentary award. Finally, Mari Carmen España. El fi nal del silencio, by Martin Jonson and Pontus Hjorthén, received the Audience Prize.

L’Alternativa, Festival de Cinema L’Alternativa, the Barcelona Indepen-dent Cinema Festival, is a true feast for lovers of independent cinema. The festival’s guiding principles have always been: to show cinema that does not bow to comfortable, conventional guidelines, cinema that takes risks, cinema from the margins, from the depths, emotional or thoughtful cinema, committed and honest cinema. Cinema with the ability
to propose something new, that stimu-lates and surprises us, that isn’t compla-cent.
Of the 2,200 submissions received, 400 were programmed in the festival’s different sections, 78 of them (from 33 different nationalities) made up the offi cial competition section, which includes features, shorts, documentaries and animation.
Meanwhile, the Parallel Sections showed works by fi lmmakers that are essential for understanding contempo-rary European cinema. (Rocha, Gatlif, Herman Dolz, Veiel and the Taviani brothers)
The award winning fi lms in this fi fteenth l’Alternativa were as follows: Best Feature Film ex aequo for Dah be alaveh Chahar... (10+4), by Mania Akbari (Iran), and Ye Che, by Diao Yi Nan (China).
Best Documentary ex aequo to Proble-mat s komarite i drugi istorii by Andrey Paounov (Bulgaria), and Bar de zi şi alte povestiri, by Corina Radu (Rumania).
Best Short Film ex aequo to Nous, by Olivier Hems (France), and Amatorul, by Marian Crisan (Rumania).
Best Animation Short ex aequo to Orgesticulanismus, by Mathieu Labaye (Belgium), and L’évasión, by Demuynck Arnaud (France/Belgium).
And, to round off the list of award win-ners, the Audience Prize went to Lapsus, by Juan Pablo Zaramella (Argentina); the AVID prize for Best Spanish Film to Decir adiós, by Víctor Iriarte (Spain); and the Telesur prize for Best Documen-tary to La sombra de Don Roberto, by Juan Diego Spoerer and Håkan Engs-tröm (Chile).
Drap Art brings new energy to the arts movements that used objects trouvés as a language of social critique, and the movements that continue to do so. But it also encourages people in general to use the means that normal life and waste materials place within
their reach, in order to develop their potential in a creative and autonomous way, use critical thinking and express themselves, and overcome habits and traditions that are a legacy of the colonial era
Drap-Art 2008 offered spaces for refl ection, meetings between artists groups who use recycling; interven-tions in public space with artists from the creative recycling scene; collective exhibitions with works by around twenty fi ve plastic artists selected through a public call for works; a cross-cultural art and design market; performances; fi lms; participative workshops.
Drap-Art guests included, among others, Santiago Cirugeda, Pilar Cos, Rosa Pera, FICMAC, Shilpa Chavan, Txalambé, Vicenzo Cartonutti “Il Reciclatore”, Karl Baterij, Don Simon y Telefunken, Filomena Mena-cho, Aviv Kruglanski, Jana Álvarez, Shilpa Chavan, Miss Lata, Angel Di Stefano, Pierre Bastien, Pau Riba+De Mortimers, Xapes y Gominoles, Juan Matos Capote and Arquitectes Sense Fronteres.

With a series of new refl ections relating to fashion art, cultural trends and advertising, BAC!08 opened up to artists and theorists who were prepa-red to look for answers, fault lines... or to look for new ways of refl ecting on the importance that fashion and consumer culture in general play in our society. Photographers, designers, plastic artists, video artists, illustrators, musicians... conferences, workshops, fashion parades... focussed on this issue, championing art of the kind that has day-to-day consequences and is usefully integrated into life Success is usually presented to us as the only way to achieve happiness according to rigid, conservative patterns of behaviour: to be the best, whatever it takes. A way
to rebel against this situation is to ask artists to aim their bullets at that wall of intolerance and fantasy, constantly questioning established models. Réveille-toi!

The book fair for boys and girls retur-ned to the city with loads of activities, workshops, storybook characters and hidden surprises in very literary set-tings indeed.
Brave visitors could penetrate into the Space of You Will Go, based on adven-ture books, and then play the Game of You Will Return in the Labyrinth of Perhaps. The Cloud House held the books on the secrets of nature and science, and the Roomofrooms was the sum of the Library of Found Books, the TV3 program Una mà de contes and a really quite peculiar library.
Older children at Book World were able to enjoy a new space exclusively for over-9s, and, once again, the Tower of Sant Jordi invited children to read out loud. Even the youngest children discovered many books in their own Space for the Wordless and in the Courtyard of a Thousand Languages, in which books were read out and listened to in many different languages, as part of a fair that celebrated difference.

CULTURAL ACTIVITIES URBAN ITINERARIES
A program of urban itineraries that are designed to offer a critical view of the new challenges facing the city of Barce-lona today: transformations of the metropolitan environment, social cohesion, cultural leadership, environmental regenera-tion, the quality of public space, communications networks, the high-speed train... These are essential and increasingly important issues, which this series of urban and metropolitan tours aims to highlight.
The itineraries available to school groups and the general public in 2008 were:
Llobregat. Last Chance
This itinerary comprised an analysis of the territory that the Llobregat river passes through. The river forms the southern limit of the city and organises one of the major lines of communication for the entire Metropolitan area.
When it rains in the city...
This itinerary centred on the construction of a net-work of subterranean deposits built to collect runoff water during torrential rainfalls. It took place in the deposit built below the Parc de Joan Miró.
Poblenou@22
In one visit, this itinerary took in spaces and buil-dings related to 19th century forms of life and pro-duction, as well as the fi rst areas to be urbanised and the buildings associated with the “22@” project.
El Quadrat d’Or
This itinerary, which set out from the CCCB, explo-red the economic and social framework that made the Eixample (the city’s 19th century extension) possible - as an extension of the urban fabric but also in terms of the new modernist architecture that emer-ged, and the subsequent restructuring that changed it from a mainly residential area into a commercial and services hub.
The Raval. First Port of Call
In terms of urban planning, the Raval has undergone highly visible changes over the last few years. But has the role that the Raval area plays within the city in general changed to the same extent? This itinerary offered different perspectives, from several viewpo-ints, of a neighbourhood that has been a port of call from the 19th century to the present day.
Views of la Ribera
Views of la Ribera took the form of a historical route that explains the evolution of the city from the 15th century up until the present: from the Barcelona of craftsmen to the industrial city, from the walled city to the new Eixample, from the creation of avenues like Via Laietana to the urban planning changes taking place today.
Besós. A Second Opportunity
This itinerary analyses the territory through which the river Besòs fl ows, and its function as a corridor for all kinds of fl ows (trains, cars, gas, electricity, water...).

AUDIOVISUALS
Regular audiovisual programme dedicated to experimental cinema and the creative documentary. A necessary outlet for cinema at the edge of commercial dictates and with little or no circulation in the usual distribution circuits. Useful ways of seeing for curious spectators interested in more than just fashions and conventional genres. In the age of digital compression, Xcèntric returns to the dark cinemas and original formats for a greater appreciation of the works.
The Xcèntric project goes beyond screenings, since it produces content (programmes, texts) and parallel activities related to the (in)formation (archive, tours, presentations).
Cycles: “Curators” (about preserving and showing cinema), “The Witness” (an imaginary bridge for cinema related around time and the authors), “Breaking the Ice, Russian Cinema ‘De Profundis’” (Russian rarities), “Ephemeral Cinema” (industrial, scientifi c and made-for-exhi-bition fi lms that have outlived their purpose because of their artistic value).
Authors: Sarah Payton, Chris Teerink Lev Kuleshov, Khanzhonkov Studios, Bill Morrison, Jacques Richard, José Val del Omar, Eugeni Bonet, Santiago Álvarez, John Smith, Miranda Pennell, James Benning, José Luis Guerín, David Reznak, Peter Weiss, Claude Faraldo, René Allio, Nicolas Philibert, Patt O’Neill, Gerardo Malla, Carlos Rodríguez Sanz, Manuel Coronado, Brett Ingram, Storm de Hirsch, Jonas Mekas, Serguei Loznitsa, Charles Burnett, Andy Warhol and Peter Whitehead, among others.
Regular programmers: Núria Aidelman, Núria Esquerra, Laida Lertxundi, Gonzalo de Lucas and Antoni Pinent.

AUDIOVISUALS
Independent fi lms—those that aren’t commissioned but arise from the artist’s own inspiration—have a hard time reaching audiences other than through festivals, exhibitions and the odd art gallery. This programming aims to provide the space and time to allow people to discover these independent works. Just as we would hang a painting, we hang a screen and raise it to the status of an original artwork. A month in which to examine audiovisual works by artists who are interested in experimenting and innovating with new formal and thematic languages. This
year’s artists: Emmanuelle Lippé and Bertil Dubach, Oriol Sánchez, Arturo Bastón, Jaime Pitarch, Nicolás Méndez, Virginia Garcia del Pino, Ruben Santiago, Ricardo Coral, Alba Sotorra, Benet Román and Arturo Fuentes

Independent fi lmmaking is increasingly focussed on current issues and responds quickly to important social and human events. Throughout the year, the Off-Programme aims to identify different works produced through fi lmmakers’ solidarity and commitment to social issues. Where possible, the screenings will be accompanied by presentations by the fi lmmakers or other people directly involved in the issue. Following the thread of global tensions and the human factor, this year Passing the Rainbow/Views of Kabul, by Sandra Schäfer and Elfe Branderburger was shown.
Passing the Rainbow deals with methods for subverting the strict gender norms in Afghan society, concerning performance as well as cinematographic production and daily and political life.
A theatre company run by a girl in Kabul, a teacher who is also an actress, a policewoman with a second job as an action fi lm director, an activist from the RAWA organisation who approves of the radical separation of church and state, and Malek, who lives as a boy so she can work: all these women are the protagonists.
Debate with: Sandra Schäfer and Elfe Brandeburger (Berlin) together with the fi lmmaker Diana Saqeb (Kabul) debate the different ways of representing this struggle. Chairing the debate is Mònica Bernabé (Barcelona), a journalist specialised in Afghan affairs and president of the Association for Human Rights in Afghanistan (ASDHA).

By Ferran Vidal Vicens
Organised by CCCB, Associació Audiovisual Debitas, Quepo Foundation and AICEC-ADICAE
Dates December
This documentary looks at four families of differing income levels and origins and explores how being in debt affects their lives. As a counterpoint to these dramatic real-life stories, specialists in different fi elds (an economist, a sociologist, a lawyer, a judge, a psychologist and other experts) analyse the factors that have produced this situation and give their view
of the legal, political and social measures needed to address this serious problem at a time when, according to data confi rmed by the Spanish General Council of the Judiciary, the reposses-sion of homes in 2008 is nearing 100,000 and could double in the course of 2009.
La Fàbrica de Cinema Alternatiu set up this circuit of produc-tion, promotion, distribution, exhibition, festivals, schools, consultation and research about independent fi lm by creating a video library and setting up the Xarxa Barcelona (Barcelona Network). IFN brings together representatives of independent
fi lm companies, collectives and platforms from around the world and responds to the intention to provide a directory of contacts chosen from groups and professionals dedicated to independent cinema.
Platoniq is behind this public server project dedicated to broadcasting audio on the Internet (streaming). In addition to storing the archives from the Open Radio festival that began the project, Open Server offers a platform for support, production and dissemination of independent radio year round. Its main aim is to publicise the right to free culture, a culture that promotes the democratisation of the media and citizen
participation and supports the alternatives to copyright now being developed on the Internet. Free music, net culture and audio activism.

DEBATE AND REFLECTION NEW HUMANISM

Organised by CCCB
With the collaboration of Memorial Democràtic, Púrpura Visual
With the support of El Periódico
The dominance of the ideology of Franco’s regime throughout forty years of dictatorship ended up pervading and conditioning Spain’s cultural life. While the political process of the Transition to democracy endowed the country with democratic mecha-nisms, some social strata still spent many years immersed in the legacy of the regime. The activities related to the homonymous exhibition which opened in late 2007 explored cultural aspects of the Spanish transition to democracy, and brought to light the different rhythms that coexisted between political institutionalisa-tion on one hand, and social change on the other.
January 14: Bucarest, la memoria perdida (Bucharest, Lost Memory)Screening of the documentary by Albert Solé, in which the Rumanian-born fi lmmaker searches for his roots linked to a twofold exile. His father, politician Jordi Solé Tura, ex-minister and one of the seven Fathers of the Spanish Constitution, who was forced to abandon Spain in the sixties because of his anti-Francoist militancy, has embarked on a new, inner exile, but this time with no possible return: memory loss. The fi lmmaker travels from one exile to another in an attempt to recompose his own memory through the memory of his family and the memory of a country.
Participants: Pasqual Maragall, José Montilla, Júlia Otero, Joan Saura and Albert Solé.
January 17: The Political TransitionLeading political fi gures from the Transition spoke about the change of regime and the delicate political and social equili-briums that ensured the peaceful implementation of the 1978 constitutional system, and retrospectively took stock of the legacy of the transition in today’s democracy.
Participants: Santiago Carrillo, Celestino Corbacho, Josep Ramoneda and Miquel Roca.
February 4, 5 and 6: REP MuralTo coincide with the above activity, Argentinean artist REP created a mural in the lobby of the CCCB. The artist saw the action as a dialogue between himself, his work, and the public,
who were free to join him as he created the work. A mural made with the intention of capturing a social transition following years of dictatorship, that aimed to invite the public to continue to think about what it meant and continues to mean.
February 6: Humour as a Political WeaponIn dictatorial regimes, humour usually becomes a medium for dissidence and for injecting oxygen into the democratic aspira-tions of civil society. Humorists Toni Batllori and Forges discussed this idea with the artist REP, using the Spanish and Argentinean cases as a point of departure, and also refl ecting on their own role as critics in periods of democracy.
Participants: Jaume Badia, Toni Batllori, Forges and REP.
February 19 and 20: On TortureTorture was one of the key issues of state violence during Franco’s regime and the transition. Absent from historical research, it has only recently managed to make a place for itself in the interstices of social debate after a diffi cult process of admitting that the practice took place. And the consequences have affected society and the individuals who suffered it, but also public policies of redress and memory. The comparison between the Spanish case and experiences in Chile and Argentina has helped to enrich this debate, which is still in its early stages in spite of the important role that torture played in the contemporary history of our country.
Participants: Pilar Calveiro, Elizabeth Lira, Anna Miñarro, Magda Oranich, Isabel Piper, Manuel Risques and Ricard Vinyes.
February 22: Questions without Answers from the TransitionThe Transition, a time in which anything was possible, which managed to forge multiple cosmovisions of individual and collective experiences, forces us to question the usually simpli-fying stories that are its legacy. The participants of this round table attempt to answer a selection of the questions posed by visitors to the exhibition.
Participants: Jordi Borja, Mercè García Aran, Antoni Marí and Pere Ysàs.
IN TRANSITION DEBATE AND REFLECTION NEW HUMANISM
Dates Mondays from January 21 to March 10
Organised by CCCB and Fundación Collserola
The religious, ideological, family and work mainstays that have traditionally structured human life have become to be questioned in recent decades. These transformations, which were initially presented as an opportunity for individuals to gain more freedom, gave opened up new unknowns and, parado-xically, have generated more uncertain-ties in relation to the future. At the same time, new scientifi c research is starting to question the discourses that took the difference and superiority of human beings in relation to all other living beings for granted. The continuing presence of violence and the constant infringement of human rights encourage a vision of our society that is far from the humanist ideal. At the start of the
21st century we fi nd ourselves, more than ever, with the need to reconsider the characteristics that defi ne us as people.
Through The Human Condition, the CCCB and Fundación Collserola aimed to encourage debate around how individuals can satisfactorily fulfi l their freedom in the contemporary world, following the refl ections that began with the series Passions (2005), Life (2006) and Meaning (2007).
Participants: Judith Butler, Remo Bodei, Terry Eagleton, Ivan Klíma, Jordi Llovet, Chantal Maillard, Michela Marzano and Enrique Vila-Matas.
Round table with some of the contribu-tors to the book Politica y (po)ética de las imágenes de guerra (Paidós, 2007), which discussed representations of war and their role in the confi guration of the historic memory and collective identity of societies. It also analysed the way we see confl icts and violence today, with a particular focus on images of war in art, cinema, the entertainment industry and the media.
Participants: Rafael Argullol, Miquel Berga, Andrés Hispano, Antonio Monegal, Gervasio Sánchez and Francesc Torres.

DEBATE AND REFLECTION NEW HUMANISM
Dates March 6 and 7
Directed by Bashkim Shehu, writer and CCCB consultant on Eastern Europe
Organised by CCCB and Krakow International Institute of Culture
After the dismantling of the Soviet block, communism did not go away. Rather, it took on different appearances and nuances, according to the historic, geographic and political circumstances of the each of the countries that have experienced it.
In the framework of the ongoing collaboration between the CCCB and the Krakow International Institute of Culture, this conference analysed the legacy of communism and its muta-tions all over the world almost twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The debate looked at the weight of communist ideology and practices in the political, social and cultural life of the countries that have experienced it
directly or indirectly, in the past or in the present: the former Soviet block, China, Cuba, and those parts of Western Europe and Latin America that hadn’t lived under Communist regimes, but have been considerably infl uenced by them.
Participants: Harriet Evans, Emilio de Ipola, Iván de la Nuez, Stanislaw Obirek, Manel Ollé, Teodoro Petkoff, Jacek Purchla, Jorge Semprún, Bashkim Shehu and Magdalena Vasaryova.
The confl ict in Darfur has provoked a wide range of interpretations. Is it genocide? Is it ethnic cleansing? Is it simply the fi rst confl ict caused by a scarcity of water provoked by global warming? What possible solutions are there? The aim of this seminar was to bring together a group of highly-qualifi ed people so as to go beyond the headlines and analyse the context and causes of the confl ict and evaluate what can be done to repair the damage.
An activity related to the exhibition Mined Lives. 10 Years, this debate was part of the CCCB’s ongoing interest in understanding the war, which began with the exhibition At War (2004). The
event was also part of Geography of Forgotten Crises, a program that began in 2007 with the debates on Somalia and Chechnya, with the aims of rescuing from oblivion the human dramas that affect thousands of people around the world.
Participants: Munzoul Assal, Jean-Hervé Bradol, Mansour Khalid, Jamal Mahjoub, Mahmoud Mamdani and Rafael Vila Sanjuán.

A lecture by Kwame Anthony Appiah, Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University and author of several books including Cosmopolitan. Ethics in a World of Strangers and The Ethics of Identity. An internationally acclaimed author, Appiah has refl ected on cosmopolitanism as an ideal and an adventure that has to allow us to develop the habit of peaceful coexis-tence in a world full of difference: conversation in its most ancient sense, living together, association.
Tainted by stereotypes, fears and power struggles, the relationship between Iran and the Western world is as complex as it is important, due to its central role in the stability of the region and the geopolitical world order. The coming to power of Ayatollah Jomeini in 1979 was a milestone in the Islamic world, and at the same time it marked the start of a long cooling off period in which the West, particularly Washington, has not been able to treat the Teheran regime as either a rational political actor or as a diabolical tyrant. On the other hand, the new outbreak of poli-tical radicalism in Iran has provoked a reaction that has spread like a shock wave from Lebanon to Afghanistan. Iran has defi ned and mobilised a trans-national Shiite movement, it pesters Israel and supports the radical left in Latin America, while its nuclear pro-
gram, even if it is for peaceful purpo-ses, has become a source of national pride.

Spanish colonialism in Black Africa is one of the least known and most silenced episodes in recent Spanish history. Equatorial Guinea, a former Spanish colony, claimed independence forty years ago, on October 12, 1968. The turbulent years that followed led to the dictatorship of Francisco Macías, followed by the current regime led by his nephew, Teodoro Obiang, the main benefi ciary of the oil industry. While human rights bodies denounce the dictatorship of Obiang, Western democracies turn a blind eye in order to access the country’s immense oil reserves.
With this conference, which included the screening of the Xavier Montmanyà video Memoria negra (“Black Memory”), followed by a debate, the CCCB aimed to contribute to analysing the legacy of Spanish colonialism, following in the line of refl ection opened up by countries like France, Belgium and the United Kingdom in recent years.
Participants: Xavier Montanyà, Gustau Nerín and José Luis Nvumba.
The transformation of mass society and the visibility regime of modern Western society has led to a radical change in the way we currently experience anonymity. In a society dominated by the identifi cation-based logic of control on one hand, and the differentiation-based logic of multicul-turalism on the other, being anonymous no longer just means being a victim of standardisation and the loss of an individual face. In many cases, “Learning anonymity” becomes a path of individual and collective resistance. The recent mass citizen mobilisations prove it: “Stop War”, March 13 and the demonstrations in favour of decent housing, among others, have found
their strength in the anonymity of the organisers. Their success comes from the fact that they have been self-organi-sed by an anonymous “us” that refuses a name or the possibility of being identifi ed on the game board of current politics.
Participants: Marc Augé, Érik Borde-leau, Amador Fernández-Savater, Wenceslao Galán, Marina Garcés, Carles Guerra, Santiago López Petit and Leónidas Martín

For decades, Tibet has been at the centre of a complex national and cultural confl ict with the Chinese government. With its own identity, Tibet is a large region with a low population density, in which Tibetans are already starting to be a minority. Little-known and at the same time politicised, Tibet reveals some of the cracks in China’s immense power, in a highly nuanced confl ict that resonates with many universal dilemmas.
In activity related to the exhibition In the Chinese City. Perspectives on the Transmutations of an Empire, Isabel Hilton, renowned writer and journalist and China expert, offered an analysis of the current situation in Tibet.
The “post-it city” concept was coined by Giovanni La Vara (“Post-it city: the other European Public Spaces”, Mutations, 2001) to designate different temporary uses of public space. To complement the exhibition Post-it City. Occasional Urbanities, which offered a compilation of some of these new temporary uses, a series of meetings were organised to give an insight into some of the projects connected to the exhibitions, in order to contribute to current refl ection on the nature of contemporary public space.
Participants: Pablo Brugnoli, Julian D’Angiliollo, Joseph Grima, Carmella Jacoby Volk, Franco la Cecla, Giovanni La Varra, Daniele Pario Perra, Martí Peran, Stefano Romano and Marina Zuccón.

As part of the series of debates on Near Eastern cities, the CCCB organised a session focussing on Tel Aviv, which, together with La Valleta and Tirana, is one of the few cities founded on the shores of the Mediterranean since the fall of the Roman Empire. Created in 1909 beside the Arabic port of Jaffa, the oldest in the world, the city currently has a population of more than four hundred thousand.
Tel Aviv’s architecture refl ects the different layers of its historical develo-pment: the “oriental” style of the fi rst third of the 20th century, similar to that which can be seen in Cairo, Beirut, Istanbul and Baku was followed, in the thirties, by the construction of up to fi ve thousand Bauhaus buildings, which led it to be dubbed “the white city” More recently, new urban developments linked to business and cutting-edge technology have changed the appea-
rance of its waterfront. Tel Aviv is now the cultural and artistic centre of secular Israel, increasingly heterogeneous due to the large infl ux of immigrants and an intense artistic, literary and musical life that contrasts with the religious con-servatism of neighbouring Jerusalem. Nevertheless, with the ongoing failure to fi nd a stable, fair solution to the confl ict between Palestinians and Israelis, the proximity of Jaffa is a constant reminder of other histories, identities and possible futures for this land.
As part of the debate there were scree-nings of the fi lms Territory I (White Lies) by Marine Hugonnier (2005), Là-bas by Chantal Akerman (2006) and Alila by Amos Gitai (2003).
Participants: Yoram Kaniuk and Sharon Rotbard.
The major urban transformation of Barcelona that came about as a result of the 1992 Olympic Games led the city to be internationally acclaimed as a model of urban and social cohesion. However, the new reality in recent years is shaking up some of the elements of this model. To coincide with the publication of the book La metaciudad: Barcelona. Trans-formación de una metrópolis (“The metacity: Barcelona. Transformation of a Metropolis”) (Anthropos, 2008), the
CCCB organised this debate in order to analyse some of the main spatial, cultural and social challenges facing Barcelona today.

This debate on Lahore marked the launch of the CCCB’s Origins series, which looks at cities that are points of cultural irradiation in the home countries of the migrant groups that have made Barcelona their home. The aim of this debate is to show some of the most prominent urban cultural infl uences in these countries, in order to try and build bridges between the different cities.
Lahore is the cultural capital of Pakistan and, with ten million inhabitants, its second largest in terms of population. With one of the most important architectural heritages on the Indian subcontinent, thanks to the legacy of the Mughal Empire (1526-1857), the city is currently witnessing the emergence of civic and artistic initiatives that seek ways to combine an inescapable modernisation with the conservation of the city’s historic heritage. At the same time, Lahore has to face massive rural immigration that challenges its infrastructures, and a highly unstable political situation that directly affects the day to day life of its inhabitants, and sometimes makes it unviable.
Finally, the historic complexity of the region, with a religious and cultural heterogeneity that led to the detonation of turbulent confl icts throughout the 20th century, was a good excuse to refl ect on how we would like to imagine the possibility of peaceful coexistence in our cities.
As part of the debate, there were screenings of the fi lms The Rock Star and the Mullahs by Ruhi Hamid (United Kingdom, 2003), Basant. La guerra dels estels by Andrés Antebi, José González Morandi, Pablo González and Eva Serrats (Spain, 2007) and In Flesh and Spirit de Maheen Zia (Pakistan, 2006).
Participants: Mohsin Hamid, Jordi Puntí and Rashed Rahman.

The struggle against international terrorism has come to mean that any person who makes use of public space in a Western city is now considered a potential target of the mechanisms of control that strive to protect us. Post 9/11 security cities scrutinise both the architecture and the movements of people in urban settings. How are we to rethink urban space in the light of these practices that we so habitually see as threats to our privacy? What does public space become when the traditio-nal democratic rights of assembly and protest are deemed to be dangerous in certain “security zones”, or when the anonymity of the street is abolished by the proliferation of video monitoring technology? How are citizens and artis-tic and social movements responding? What are the new forms of dissent and transgression in urban public space?
In order to respond to these questions, the CCCB brought together a group of experts to participate in a debate directed by British geographers Stephen Graham and Louise Amoore. This event was part of the CCCB’s permanent con-cern with refl ecting on the intersection between urban space and sovereignty, a process begun with the debates “Urban Traumas” (2004), “Archipelago of Exceptions” (2005) and “Architectures of Fear” (2007).
Participants: Louise Amoore, Judit Carrera, Deborah Cowen, Dana Cuff, Volker Eick, Marina Garcés, Stephen Graham, Alexandra Hall, Andrés Hispano, Ana López Sala, Antonio Monegal, Francesc Muñoz, Deborah Natsios, Marcos Ramírez, Josep Ramo-neda, Iñaki Rivera Beiras, Pere Saborit, Toni Serra, Meghan Trainor and Gijs van Oenen
With a population that accounts for more than one fi fth of humanity and an extension similar to that of Europe, China is presently undergoing profound and accelerated change that affects much more than its urban landscape. The spheres of the economy, politics, society, communication and culture are all immersed in it as well, in one way or another.
An activity related to the exhibition In the Chinese City. Perspectives on the Transmutations of an Empire, this lecture series aimed to approach the complexity of China today, with all its contrasts and paradoxes, from comple-mentary perspectives.

The European Prize for Urban Public Space was organised for the fi fth time. The purpose of this award, created as a result of the exhibition The Reconquest of Europe (1999), is to recog-nise and promote the public nature of urban spaces, as well as their ability to encourage social integration. Taking into account the ambiguities inherent in the notion of public space, this is the only architecture prize of European scope designed to identify and encourage essentially public (open and acces-sible to everybody) urban space. This sets the Prize apart from other initiatives that focus on particular architects or buildings and from landscape architecture awards, instead highlighting the relational, civic value of typically urban space.
At present, the Prize is a joint initiative of the CCCB, The Architecture Foundation (Londres), Architektur Zentrum Wien (Vienna), Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimonine (Paris), the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut (Rotterdam) and the Museum of Finnish Architecture (Helsinki). This institutional base has made it possible to expand the range of infl uence of an initiative that received 174 submissions from 132 European cities in 2008. This makes the Prize is an exceptional barometer of the principal directions of European urban design. All the submissions to the fi ve calls for entries are brought together in the digital archive http://urban.cccb.org, which also includes a selection of the most important lectures on urban themes held at the CCCB.
The Jury for the 5th Prize consisted of Manuel de Solà Morales, president (representing the CCCB); Severi Bloms-tedt, director of the Museum of Finnish Architecture; Ole Bouman, director of the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut; Rowan Moore, director of The Architecture Foundation; Francis Rambert, director of the Cité de l’Architecture of the Patrimoine; and Dietmar Steiner, director of the Architektur Zentrum Wien. The secretary for this last edition was Carles Crosas.
The 2008 First Prize was awarded to the Barking Town Square Project (London). Three Special Mentions were also awarded to the projects Centrum.odorf (Innsbruck), Other People’s Photographs (Folkestone, United Kingdom) and Torre del Homenaje (Huéscar, Granada).
The awards ceremony for the Prize was attended by the president and the secretary of the jury, and the creators of the winning projects. It concluded with the lecture Europe, an Urban Civilisation, by Peter Hall, Emeritus Professor at University College London, and author of the infl uential book Cities in Civilization: Culture, Innovation and Urban Order (1999).

With 12 million inhabitants, the Egyptian capital Cairo the largest city in the Arab world and the largest in any country bordering the Mediterranean. Site of the pharaonic pyramids and of the mosques and citadels of the medieval Islamic world, the opening of the Suez Canal in the mid-nineteenth century transformed it into a cosmopolitan capital with communities from all over the Mediterranean. As Cairo’s greatest modern writer, Naguib Mahfouz, shows in his novels, cultural currents of a regional and national nature have long intersected here with those of universal concern. Since the Egyptian revolution of 1952, however, the city has become the hub of Arab nationalism and the place from where the military rulers who continue to control its destiny exercise their infl uence.
This new debate in the series on Middle Eastern cities examined both the historical and architectural legacy of Cairo’s past, and the changing attitudes of its writers and artists to the city’s place in the modern Egyptian and Arab worlds.

Information and communication technologies are moving forward and transforming the way that culture is produced and spread. Through these projects, the CCCB aims to map a mid- to long-term strategy designed to strengthen the use of the Net as tool for producing and disseminating culture and to support innovation in terms of new formats. In the short term, the CCCB intends to use technological channels to reach remote audiences, in order to extend the reach of its productions beyond the physical space of the CCCB. It is not a project about technology, but a way of exploring new options that can improve the centre’s ability to meet the traditional objectives of cultural centres.

The Anella Cultural (“cultural ring”) project involves developing a network of cultural centres that can intensively use the new possibilities offered by second-generation Internet to stimulate content exchange and co-production of online events and promote research on new ways of using the net for cultural production.
In 2008, the pilot project culminated in the active participation of programmers from all of the centres involved in this initial stage (CCCB, Lleida’s IMAC, Olot’s FES, Granollers Museum and Cal Massó in Reus).
The CCCB participated in the following Anella Cultural activities:
September: Hipnotik Meeting (CCCB-Reus-Lleida)
October: Kosmopolis (CCCB-Olot-Lleida-Reus)
November: REC, Festival de Videoclips (Olot-Reus-Lleida-CCCB)
November: Memorimages Festival (Reus-CCCB)
Meanwhile, beyond the network of cultural centres that make up the Anella, the very nature of the project will offer the CCCB new ways to channel collaborations with national and international institutions, adding a new dimension to the Centre’s already extensive touring program.

Although Prague doesn’t ever expli-citly appear in Kafka’s work, Prague and Kafka are inseparably intertwined. The way in which Kafka sifts his city into his work remains one of the most enigmatic operations in modern literature. In his stories, Kafka pulls off a diffi cult manoeuvre: Prague is transformed into an imaginary topogra-phy that transcends fallacious realism.
This third exhibition in the CCCB’s Cities and their Writers series was presented at the CCCB in 1999, The Jewish Museum of New York from August 2002 to January 2003 and from June 2005 it can be visited as a permanent exhibition in Prague, at the Hergetova Cihelna gallery, which has become the Franz Kafka Museum.
The exhibition maps an itinerary that follows places linked to the Catalan literary exile (1939-1975) through testimonies narrated by the writers themselves, in their literature and their personal experiences and histories. The exhibition allows visitors to relive the experience of exile through the voices and words of its protagonists: how the disappearance of a world leads to cer-tain decisions being made and survival strategies developed, and also to the opening up of new horizons, resulting in a great number of cultural initiatives.
The exhibition has been presented in Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile and Mexico, and has been shown at the Santo Domingo Museum of Modern Art until February 2008.
In 2008 the CCCB set up a more continuous version of the live Internet broadcast (streaming) that began in October 2007 with Naomi Klein’s lecture to launch her latest book, The Shock Doctrine. The Centre plans to stream a large part of its lectures by leading international intellectuals, as well as a selection of the most impor-tant artistic interventions that take place there. The aim is to reach people who are unable to physically visit the CCCB and offer them opportunities to access the content of the activities from
their computers. Once edited the material will be placed online and remain accessible through the CCCB web site, making it the main environ-ment for spreading the Centre’s content.

This exhibition offers a journey through the cinema of ideas - cinema that is not part of the entertainment industry and reveals the medium’s artistic, thought-provoking and documentary potential through its content and the way it is made. The exhibition presents key fi lmmakers and movements in experi-mental and independent cinema, but it’s not conceived as an alternative history in relation to mainstream cinema. The idea is to defi ne cinema based on practices that often contradict clichés, and reveal a world of cinema that can be practiced in ways that are similar to painting, music or essays. A specially adapted version of the exhibition was presented at the Centro Cultural de Bancaja in Valencia from the 13th of December 2007 to the 24th of March 2008.
In Transition isn’t meant to be a chrono-logical, narrative description of a particu-lar period in history. The exhibition offers a possible approach to understanding a dense, complex process that served as the threshold between the dictatorship and democracy, one which affects and grew from the people who lived through it. This process is explained through big sections that evaluate and question the past, in terms of the historical approach and its conclusions and instruments.
After its season at the CCCB and before touring internationally, the exhibition was presented at Cadiz’s Claustro de Exposiciones del Palacio Provincial from March to May 2008 and the Centro Cultural de la Villa in Madrid from October to December 2008.

An exhibition that brings together two key fi lmmakers, Víctor Erice and Abbas Kiarostami, in a dialogue concerning their creative interests: transparency in fi lming, their search for reality and how to capture it, etc. Following its presentation at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (September 2007 to January 2008), the exhibition travelled to Australia where it has been presented at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne from August 21st to November 2nd, 2008.
Fez is a complex, mixed and confl ic-tive city, nothing like the tourist clichés. A city that requires an in-depth approach, because its structure is based on many layers, each succeeding one harder to penetrate.

Cinema Bethinks Art explores the inti-macy of creative processes (fi lmmakers fi lming, painters in their studios) and investigates the questions posed by fi lm in art and art in fi lm.
The program is structured along the following fi ve lines: Film in process; The fi lmmaker’s workshop; About photography; About painting; The artist’s workshop; and Home Movies:
(Self)Portraits of artists; with fi lms by: Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jean Dre-ville, Jean-Luc Godard, Chantal Akerman, Jean-Michel Bouhours, Robert Frank, Anne Marie Miévi-lle, Raymond Depardon, Michael Snow, Francesc Català Roca, Andrés Hispano, François Campaux, Hans Namuth, Pierre Koralnik, André Delvaux, Stan Brakhage, René Magritte, Man Ray, Jean Cocteau, Andy Warhol and Jonas Mekas.
In 2008 Cinema Bethinks Art was presented at the Filmoteque and Centro Párraga in Murcia, Centro Huarte de Arte in Pamplona, La Casa Encendida in Madrid and CGAI in La Coruña.
The CCCB presents the work of a different audiovisual artist each month, in order to allow visitors to see independent or experimental works and come into contact with new formal languages and themes. As a touring project for 2008, the CCCB offered a selection of ten artists who had participated in the 2007 program. They were presented at the Centre Cultural Blanquerna in Madrid.

OPEN CCCB DEBATES BEYOND THE CCCB
OPEN CCCB INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS
Dates September 20 and 21
Venue Centre for Liberal Strategies, Sofi a, Bulgaria
Directed by Ivan Krastev, director of the Centre for Liberal Strategies
Organised by Centre for Liberal Strategies, Open Century Project at the Budapest Central European University and CCCB
This debate, which was held on Sept-ember 20th and 21st at the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofi a (Bulgaria), began by looking at the breakdown of traditional defi nitions of the political left and right as a result of the chan-ges that have taken place over the last twenty years. The traditional right has been overwhelmed by new populisms in both Western Europe and countries that have recently joined the Euro-pean Union, while the traditional left is immersed in a deep-seated identity crisis. The politics of Nicolas Sarkozy in France and the desperate attempts of the Italian and Greek left to reinvent themselves are symptoms of the search
for a “fourth” way in European politics. The discussions centred on an attempt to defi ne the focal points being confi gu-red by the left and right in Europe in the context of the new world order.
Participants: Judit Carrera, Marta Dassu, Ivaylo Ditchev, Federico Fubini, Ernst Hillebrand, Ivan Krastev, Svetoslav Malinov, Arbjan Mazniku, Dennis McShane, Gáspár Miklós Tamás, Jan-Werner Mueller, Soli Ozel, Andrei Plesu, Antoinette Primata-rova, David Rieff, Andrea Romano, Ignacio Sánchez-Cuenca, Sławomir Sierakowski, Alexander Smolar and Marina Valensise.

CCCB ARCHIVEDates January 21 – December 31Directed by CCCB Production CCCB
The CCCB Archive is a thematic multimedia archive that makes all of the material that has been generated by the CCCB throughout its thirteen years of cultural activity available to the public for the fi rst time.
Over the years, the CCCB has accumulated an exceptional collection of material as a result of the exhibitions, fi lm programs, conferences and debates, festivals, and the many kinds of cultural activities that have allowed the centre to refl ect on, and intervene in, key issues in contemporary society and culture. The CCCB Archive is the processed, compiled and digitalised holdings of an institution that does not have its own permanent collection, but has nevertheless generated knowledge, produced and spread new ideas, and contributed to opening up new cultural imaginaries. Four major themes have defi ned the CCCB’s history, and now structure its holdings: (1) the human condition; (2) the world and cosmopoli-tanism; (3) the city and public space; and (4) artistic creation.
As from 2008, the CCCB Archive makes these holdings available through a series of theme-based presentations that deal with each of these major themes, and that will gradually grow to encompass the entire CCCB holdings. Each of these presentations offer visitors all of the material that the CCCB has produced on these major themes. At the same time, the CCCB puts together showcases to display the materials that summarise its contribution in a more meaningful way.
During 2009, two theme-based CCCB Archive showcases were held: Pardoxical Times and World. A Cosmopolitan View.
Paradoxical Times (January 21 – September 14, 2008) is the fi rst CCCB Archive showcase, and presents all the materials that have contributed to the centre’s refl ection on the new and old contradictions of the human condition in a constantly changing world. With this showcase, the CCCB offers visitors over 150 videos from its holdings, which are a record of its refl ections on the social and cultural transformations that defi ne the globalised world.
World. A Cosmopolitan Vision (October 22, 2008 – August 31, 2009) is the second CCCB Archive showcase. It presents all the CCCB holdings material related to cosmopolitanism and the refl ection on cultural plurality in today’s world. This second showcase, which coincided with Kosmopolis’08, also presents the Kosmopolis Archive, which offers the public all the material relating to this International Literature Fest.
World. A Cosmopolitan Vision multiplies the materials that the CCCB makes available to the public
• 50 exhibitions
• 700 lectures and performances
• 250 audiovisual works
• 800 biographies of guest authors
• 260 photographic reports

EUROPEAN ARCHIVE OF URBAN PUBLIC SPACE AND URBAN LIBRARYProduction: CCCB
Sponsored by: COPCISA
With the collaboration of Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine (Paris), The Architecture Foundation (London), Architecturzentrum Wien (Vienna), Nederlands Architectuurinstituut (Rotterdam) and Museum of Finnish Architecture (Helsinki)
http://urban.cccb.org/archivehttp://urban.cccb.org/library
The European Archive of Urban Public Space is a digital archive that brings together the projects submitted to the fi ve editions of the European Prize for Urban Public Space. The archive aims to contribute to making these projects better known as initiatives that seek to give new value to the public nature of urban spaces, and in doing so have fostered greater collective use of these spaces, the activities held in them, and the way citizens identify with them as part of their everyday lives.
The Urban Library brings together the most important texts on urban issues that the CCCB has been accumulating since it was founded. Exhibitions, debates and lectures make up these holdings on contemporary cities that take the form of a virtual library. It places the CCCB’s more theoretical approaches to cities within everyone’s reach. The Library includes texts by Zygmunt Bauman, Jordi Borja, Manuel Castells, Jean-Louis Cohen, André Corboz, Robert Fishman, Jan Gehl, Oriol Nel·lo, Xavier Rubert de Ventós, Saskia Sassen, Michael Sorkin, Eyal Weizman and Sharon Zukin, among others.
XCÈNTRIC ARCHIVEwww.cccb.org/xcentric/homeg.htm
Since its public launch as the epilogue to the exhibition That’s Not Entertainment. Cinema Begets Cinema, the Xcèntric Archive has gradually expanded with the incorporation of new titles, and know holds 700 works. Since 2008, the Archive was available for free, public viewing in an ad hoc space that was accessible during exhibition opening hours.
The archive is conceived to mirror Xcèntric programming. Without intending to create an exhaustive collection of experimental video, it will grow each year in line with the works programmed at Xcèntric, the CCCB’s cinema.
A specifi cally designed interface allows visitors to view fi lms by: Peggy Ahwesh, Martin Arnold, Stan Brakhage, Abigail Child, Stephen Dwoskin, Harun Farocki, Oskar Fischinger, Jean Genet, Jean-Luc Godard, Kurt Kren, Malcom Le Grice, Len Lye, Mara Mattuschka, Jonas Mekas, Norman McLaren, Werner Nekes, David Perlov, Jürgen Reble, Hans Richter, Paul Sharits, Alexander Sokurov, Peter Tscherkassky, José Val del Omar and Johan van der Keuken, among others. Recent additions are the complete works of Norman McLaren, 1970s fi lms by Chantal Akerman and a selection of recent works by John Smith.
