EXHIBITIONS
Until Wednesday, 30th September at the Escaldes-Engordany Art Centre. (Limited places). Art on vinyl. An Exhibition of artistic album covers from the Chambao Collection. Art and music are two disciplines that have always had a close relationship, whether mutually inspired or as a collaboration in the form of album covers, concert posters or video clips. This relationship is seen in the exhibition Art on vinyl with more than 300 covers signed by such prominent artists as Picasso, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Basquiat and Andy Warhol, as well as a section dedicated to the music of the playful and cultural movement of the Madrilenian Movida. Disc covers are the cover letter, the wrapper that includes basic vinyl information. There are different artistic trends, but they often have bold designs, a lot of creativity and disinhibition. They are currently the subject of a collection, fetish pieces that evoke the greats of music such as David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Pet Shop Boys and The Beatles. Art on vinyl, a journey through the popular culture of the twentieth century: eclectic and nostalgic. Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday from 9.30h – 13.30h and 15h – 19h.
Until Saturday, 31st October. (From the National Archive of Andorra.) Records from the collection of the historic, Radio Andorra.
