In 2014, the exhibition "Matyrium Sanctae Eulaliae" (Martyrdom of Saint Eulalia) was presented at the MEAM, where a group of Spanish and Italian artists reinterpreted the iconography of the patron saint of Barcelona. Among them were Luca Freschi and Jorge Egea, who, after 20 years of artistic friendship and 10 years after that exhibition, come together again at the MEAM, this time with a dialogue between works from their extensive careers.
The exhibition is curated by Cristina Rodríguez-Samaniego, from the Department of Art History at UB, who has also been a regular collaborator with the MEAM in exhibitions such as "a century of Catalan sculpture" or "a bit of sculpture, please."
The MEAM offers a broader overview of these works in dialogue, while at the same time, a new proposal on the iconography of Santa Eulalia has been moved to the Diocesan Museum, in an exhibition that opened just yesterday. Thus, creating a parallelism between both institutions.
