The Pilar and Joan Miro Foundation was kind enough to fly me (adam) out to Mallorca for installation and the opening of the Metapasiages show, and S. was kind enough to come up from Rome for the duration.
The curator, Pau was really wonderful. He wrote an eloquent and insightful essay for the beautiful show catalog. He also took us around and told us where we could get some great food in Palma (Mallorca's capital) and Barcelona. The Miro museum was really beautiful and the installations went smoothly once I fixed my projector which had been damaged in shipping.
The only down side was out hotel was in tourist central. We got to witness many many drunk english and german folks on holiday.
Also, one day whilst S. and I were napping, a tornado blew across the island. That was pretty crazy. Everything turned that tornado yellow/green and blew horizontally. It broke trees, upended signs and little stands and shut the town down for a day. The Mallorcans said there hadn't been anything like it in 30 years. The result was we couldn't go into town to meet Pau for dinner and had to eat the cruise ship-ish food at the hotel.
Below are images from the museum and from site-seeing around Mallorca.
