Today is finally raining in the Rambla! So will take the chance to visit and exhibition in the CCCB where the famous Magnum agency photographer, Martin Parr, on tourist pictures and kitschabilia.
The typical image of tourists wearing sandals and socks, beaches full of
sunbathers and countless attempts to take a photo of run-of-the-mill
monuments simulating extreme emptiness are just some of the references
you will run across every summer and which Parr has now turned into art.
Close to 300 pictures, 150 postcards and 500 banal objects purchased on
trips but also true hidden gems of art make up an exhibition which, for
all the kitsch forms, essentially questions our contemporary zeal for
purchasing and appropriating.
Don't miss it! It's in Montalegre street, number 5, just a few minutes from the Rambla.
