Exhibitions<\/h2>\n

Edward Weston<\/h3>\n

This extensive anthology traverses all stages of his photographic production, from his initial interest in pictorialism to his establishment as a central figure in affirming the poetic and speculative value of straight photography.<\/p>\n

Joan Andreu Puig Farran<\/h3>\n

This exhibition recovers his work from a period of intense social and political upheaval, featuring numerous original vintage prints from the La Vanguardia archive. These are complemented by exhibition prints made from glass plates preserved by his heirs and a selection of the newspapers in which his images were published.<\/p>\n

KBr today<\/h2>\n

At KBr things happen<\/strong>. Here we are developing a permanent educational program, focused more on training future generations in the understanding of the language of photography and its artistic dimension than on explaining a specific exhibition. We share knowledge about photography through meetings and conferences.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

All our activities aim to contribute to the dynamism and projection of Barcelona through an area – artistic photography – closely associated with the cultural excellence of contemporary Catalonia.<\/p>\n
