On the occasion of Espriu Year — 2013 sees the commemoration of hundred years since the author’s birth — the CCCB is presenting this exhibition in coproduction with the Government of Catalonia.
The exhibition will be presented the world of Espriu and his historical and cultural environment.
The script allude three facets of Espriu’s personality, strategically arranged in a chronological and thematic way. First of all, the most private aspects. Next, the more social aspects. Finally, the more contemporary and current aspects of the world of Espriu. In such a way that the exhibition proposes a progressive opening from the personal world towards the collective world.
Within the second section on the more social aspect of the author (committed poet), the exhibition will approach Espriu’s relationship with the Catalans as a people, with special emphasis on the evolution of his view, on the stances he took in the face of the ups and downs of history and his ethical legacy to collectivity.
The starting point must be to ask: what does Espriu offer for readers of today? Based on this initial question, different aspects of his biography will be developed, along with his literary world, his career as a writer and the public repercussions of his work. The arrival point has to give a response to this initial question and underline the current relevance of Espriu, in the triple perspective proposed by the exhibition: the mythical and symbolic world, social transcendence, and untameable criticism.
