Statute of Autonomy
The Minister of the Presidency, Public Function and Equality, Mercedes Garrido, inaugurated this Tuesday the exhibition “Art for the Statute”, organised on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Statute of Autonomy. The Archive of the Kingdom of Mallorca is hosting the exhibition from today until 23 April, which features the works of 59 artists (2 from Formentera, 10 from Menorca, 16 from Eivissa and 31 from Mallorca).
Councillor Garrido claimed that “the viewpoint of these 59 artists through their works allows us to rediscover the Estatut, which at first glance may seem unattractive and uninspiring; and here we see that this is not the case and that behind each article there can be a whole world of imagination and creation”.
The text of the Statute has been the source of inspiration for the artistic creation of these creators, who have developed their creative process based on one of the 139 articles of the Statute. Most of the works are in A3 format, although the exhibition also includes sculptures. This exhibition, curated by Toni Torres, which can be visited on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am to 7.30 pm, and on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 am to 2.30 pm, is organised by the Directorate General for Institutional Relations and Local Cooperation, which is responsible for coordinating and promoting the events to commemorate the anniversary of the Statute.
The opening ceremony was also attended by the President of the Parliament, Vicenç Thomàs; the Minister of European Funds, University and Culture, Miquel Company, and the Director General of Institutional Relations and Local Cooperation, Francesc Miralles.
The exhibition is also conceived as an exercise in reflection for the visitor, as a paper copy of the Statute is provided at the entrance so that each work can be related to the exact content of the statutory text.
