Description: "HiperCatalunya seeks to posit an advanced survey of today's territory, in order to import tomorrow's potentials: to interrogate the territory in order to bring out its capacities and latencies. Beyond the traditional mechanisms of territorial analysis, this collective action seeks to recognize and express a multidisciplinary approach to our surroundings, promoting interpretations open to a possible interaction between the existing and the imaginable, in keeping with an innovative dimension of contemporary culture capable of engendering new spaces for new lifestyles, but also new logics and new aesthetics for new scenarios of progress. HiperCatalunya thus seeks to reflect and to stimulate reflection on the authentic territorial dimension of Catalonia by formulating, through theoretical and practical approaches, four main areas of analysis, reflection and venturing, understood as operative frameworks but also as strategic layers of action, aimed at anticipating and visualizing possible key questions for a future development of the territory"--v.1, back cover.
Notes: Exhibition presented in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona from 18 July to 26 October 2003.
