<\/p>\nOn the 19th of September, La Llotja de Palma will host the exhibition \u2018Mirall\u2019 by the renowned Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, an event eagerly awaited by art lovers in the Balearic Islands. The exhibition, organised by the Govern with the collaboration of the Ajuntament de Palma and the Stiftung f\u00fcr Kunst und Kultur e.V., will be open to the public until 15th February 2025.<\/p>\n
The exhibition \u2018Mirall\u2019 invites visitors to reflect on the dualities that define our existence: body and soul, matter and spirit, light and darkness, past and future. At the centre of the exhibition, two monumental stainless steel sculptures, \u2018Invisible Laura\u2019 and \u2018Invisible Rui Rui\u2019, stand 7 metres high. These works, placed facing each other but with their backs to each other, invite the viewer to explore the multiple layers of meaning in their apparent confrontation and isolation.<\/p>\n
Jaume Plensa, known for his iconic sculptures in public spaces around the world, surprises again with a work that combines monumentality with introspection. His focus on duality recalls the mythological figure of Janus, the Roman god of doors and beginnings, with his two faces looking into the past and the future. In the exhibition \u2018Mirall\u2019, Plensa plays with the idea of reflection not only as a physical phenomenon, but as a metaphor for human interconnectedness, where our lives and emotions are reflected in others.<\/p>\n

The choice of La Llotja de Palma as the setting for this exhibition is no coincidence. This building, a jewel of Mallorcan civil Gothic architecture, has witnessed the commercial and social history of the island since its construction in the 15th century. Today, it has established itself as a benchmark space for contemporary art in Mallorca, hosting exhibitions by leading international artists such as Pedro Cabrita and Julian Opie in recent months.<\/p>\n
Jaume Plensa (Barcelona, 1955) is one of the most prominent figures in Spanish contemporary art, with a career spanning more than four decades. His work has been exhibited in prestigious institutions in Europe, the United States and Asia, and he is particularly known for his interventions in public spaces, such as the iconic \u2018Crown Fountain\u2019 in Chicago’s Millennium Park.<\/p>\n
Throughout his career, Plensa has received numerous awards and distinctions, including the French Medal of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres and the Vel\u00e1zquez Prize for the Arts. His artistic approach focuses on the exploration of universal themes such as identity, memory and the human condition, using a variety of materials and scales ranging from the intimate to the monumental.<\/p>\n
Jaume Plensa’s \u2018Mirall\u2019 exhibition at La Llotja de Palma promises to be a highlight on Mallorca’s cultural calendar, offering visitors a unique opportunity to experience the reflective and aesthetic power of one of the great figures of contemporary art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
