Casa Batlló_Exhibition Beyond the Façade by United Visual Artists
United Visual Artists have created the first exhibition in the new contemporary space of Casa Batlló. The work of UVA, a multidisciplinary London-based studio founded by Matt Clark in 2003, encompasses moving images, audiovisual environments, installations, printed works, and kinetic sculptures.
The exhibition “OBRA OBERTA, dedicated to the work of architect Josep Lluís Mateo, opens at the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya. Curated by María Figueras and Cristina Marcos, the show invites us to rethink the architectural act as a practice in constant transition, where the physical and the conceptual intertwine through processes, representations, and contexts.

The screening will take place on November 6, 2025, at Cinemas Girona in Barcelona, as part of the Barcelona International Architecture Film Festival (BARQ). The film follows the individuals and communities whose lives are intertwined with trees, finding hope in the traditions of harmonious forest management and the regenerative power of nature.

For one weekend only, the most important architecture festival in the Barcelona metropolitan area once again opens doors that are usually closed, and more importantly, opens conversations about how we inhabit, perceive and transform the spaces around us.
