PARADA is a project of Irma Arribas, Queralt Guinart, Octavi Rofes and Pau Villalonga, within the exhibition Translocations: Observatory of Projects, which can be visited between July 15th and September 13th, 2015 at Arts Santa Mònica, Rambla 7, Barcelona.
The tradition of selling alive animals in La Rambla , the various attempts to integrate the regulatory institutional ideals of a modern – cosmopolitan city and eventually the replacing with other devices geared to tourism and commercial identity , clearly demonstrates the field of conflicting forces that strains public space. PARADA situates the strata , fractures and accumulations of the different time lapses, without possibility of consensus, that emerge from within La Rambla.
