BARCELONA
Even if you can’t tell
your Monet from your
Manet, chances are you’ll
recognise Barcelona’s
iconic La Sagrada
Familia. Designed by
architect Antoni Gaudí,
it is just one of his
contributions to the world
of art and architecture.
Print artist Joan Miró
was inspired by the
structural hallmarks of
Gaudí’s style and this
exhibition celebrates the
two creatives, along with
photographer Joaquim
Gomis, a friend of Miró
whose work also drew
inspiration from Gaudí.
From 8th June until 6th
October; fmirobcn.orgBAUHAUS
WEEK, BERLIN
Boasting alumni such
as acclaimed 1930s
textile artist Anni Albers
(whose show recently
graced the Tate Modern),
Germany’s Bauhaus was
no ordinary school. So
much so, in fact, that
its buildings can be
found on the UNESCO
World Heritage List.
Marking 100 years
since the globally
influential institution
opened in Weimar
in 1919, Berlin will
come alive this summer
with a week-long
programme of events,
from film screenings to
live exhibitions in shop
windows. Don’t miss it.
From 31st August
until 8th September;

REMBRANDT,
RIJKSMUSEUM,
AMSTERDAM
‘Life etches itself on to our
faces as we grow older,
showing our violence,
excesses or kindnesses,’
said 17th-century artist
Rembrandt van Rijn.
This summer, in honour
of his life, Amsterdam’s
largest museum invited
artists of all ages and
abilities to submit to its
grand exhibition inspired
by Rembrandt. The
event echoes the artist’s
flair across hundreds of
original works, including
sculpture, photographs,
large-scale installations
and paintings.
From 15th July until
15th September;
rijksmuseum.nlBIENNALE ARTE
2019, VENICE
This year’s theme
is May You Live In
Interesting Times, a title
that, according to the
organisation’s president,
Paolo Baratta, could
be a curse. So it’s no
wonder the exhibition
is creating a buzz. The
display, as always,
consists of a series
of pavilions, each
occupied by a single
country. Highlights
include Iceland’s
cave of multicoloured
threads and Ghana’s
portraits by Felicia
Abban, the country’s
first female professional
photographer. Warning:
you’ll leave in awe,
but with more questions
than answers.
On now until
24th November;
