2026 Espai 13 exhibition series, curated by Alejandro Alonso Díaz.
The Espai 13 at the Fundació Joan Miró is an exhibition programme of emerging artistic and curatorial practices set up to meet Joan Miró's wish to create a space where new generations could present their work. Since its launch in 1978 in the foundation's Espai 10, over 45 years ago, our programme of emerging art has built up an extensive background in promoting local, national and international talent. Over the years, Espai 13 has become an important turning point in the artistic and professional careers of many of its participants, for whom it has represented a major advance in terms of their professionalisation and recognition within the art world.
As an observatory and barometer of the changes in emerging art, each year Espai 13 entrusts a curator with developing a programme of solo exhibitions based on a theme related to contemporary artistic practice. These exhibitions emanate from original, newly produced projects designed specifically for the season and the space. In 2026, the independent curator Alejandro Alonso Díaz will take over from Carolina Jiménez. Following a year of exhibitions stemming from considerations on the relationship between artists and their surroundings, as well as ideas of place and context, this year's programme will be framed by Barcelona's status as the European Capital of Architecture. The exhibitions will focus on current debates around the notion of space, through artistic practices that consider how such discipline is determined by the energy flows that cut across social spaces, infrastructures, and the programmatic functioning of institutions

Turn it all turns is an educational project and series of four exhibitions that focuses on a range of processes and protocols that enable us to understand, relate to and experiment with our immediate surroundings. By playing with languages and meanings, the series aims to throw up critical insights that make us question the codes that shape our perception.
The artists featured in this series question and push at the boundaries between disciplines in order to reflect on the dynamics of power that affect knowledge. Thus, art is presented as a powerful monster capable of pointing to the weak points in these boundaries: a monster who tells the truth or, at the very least, who points to the person telling it.
The exhibition program The Possibility of an Island explores some of the symbolic and socio-cultural meanings that islands - those paradigmatic spaces in our collective imagination - have had over the course of time, with the aim of raising questions and reflections about these meanings that may be pertinent to our contemporary context.
