A challenging exhibition of modern art in a mostly modern building near the old town barrio. Free entry.
Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Alicante (MACA)的点评
点评:MACA is mainly housed in an ugly modernist building in Calle de la Villavieja, beside the hotel Milagrossa, more or less opposite the much more visually attractive medieval basilica of Santa Maria. Its architecture beats MACA hands down, no contest.
I saw an exhibition by a reputed Spanish artist - I can't recall her name. It was challenging and (like many other modern artworks) puzzling - perhaps even baffling. It wasn’t particularly memorable or beautiful but it was striking. Some images were definitely provocative; others were simply difficult to make any real sense of. I guess the artist would possibly not mind. You can post sticky notes in response to questions - but all the questions and most of the answers were in Spanish; and my Spanish is muy limited! The exhibition is free - a good point.
The modern part of the gallery is ugly and brutalist outside, but inside is a light and pleasing space. I didn't have time to see the Picassos or Dalis.
翻译:MACA 主要位于 Villavieja 街一栋丑陋的现代主义建筑内,毗邻 Milagrossa 酒店,与更具视觉吸引力的中世纪圣玛利亚大教堂大致对面。它的建筑风格毫无疑问胜过 MACA。
我看过一位著名西班牙艺术家的展览——我不记得她的名字了。这很有挑战性,而且(像许多其他现代艺术作品一样)令人费解——甚至可能令人困惑。它不是特别令人难忘或美丽,但它引人注目。有些图像确实很有挑衅性;其他图像则很难真正理解。我想艺术家可能不会介意。您可以贴便签来回答问题——但所有问题和大多数答案都是西班牙语;而我的西班牙语水平很有限!展览是免费的——这是个好主意。
画廊的现代部分外观丑陋而野蛮,但内部是一个明亮而令人愉悦的空间。我没有时间去看毕加索或达利的作品。
