The task of the present publication is to show how the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) has sought to initiate new narratives and histories of art through a wide selection of acquisitions during 2002-07 of the MACBA Collection. The book includes essays by Manuel J. Borja-Villel, Kaira M. Cabanas and Jorge Ribalta.

The French artist Gil J Wolman (1929-1995) was a pioneer in researching the intersection and alteration of visual and textual languages. This show, the first monographic exhibition of Wolman's work ever held in Spain, consists of about 250 works and documents, from L'Anticoncept (1951) to Voir de memoire (1995). It includes the artist's most important and fertile pieces, some of them never before exhibited. In coedition with Serralves Foundation
