UNTIL SUNDAY 19/3
THE SHIP. University, 2
Valencia 1972 is the exhibition of a book that talks about a city. Starting from the influential The city of Valencia in which Manuel Sanchis Guarner proudly captured the spirit of Valencia of the time, and borrowing the expression "monster city" used by the architect Salvador Pascual Gimeno in reference to what was becoming the head and house in the 1972, The new sample of the ship tells us how our city has changed from the Romans to the 1930. The year of publication of the book, 1972, It is key in the exhibition approach because then the city was facing three junctions that would mark its drift: the construction of a motorway on the old cache of the Turia, the urbanization of the salt and the destruction of the historic center. Projects that managed to stop thanks to citizen movements like the one who claims today, Armes an everything, Do not extend the port of Valencia. The exhibition puts us in context with projections on what the Valencia of the seventy was like, with posters and works of art of the time (of the chronic team, It's here, Alfaro…) and with quotes from Max Aub on how changed found the city when returning from exile. You will discover in a very visual way how the urban layout of Valencia has mutated with the construction of complexes such as the Palau de la Música or the Polytechnic University, and the magnificent buildings that have been demolished over the years (The Dominican Convent, The Slavic Theater…) In this magnificent exhibition in which there is money (very) invested.
