As part of the HAY Festival Segovia 2018, the film Mies on Scene (2018), directed by Pep Martín and Xavi Campreció, will be screened in Segovia, Spain, this Saturday, September 22. And ArchDaily en Español is giving away tickets!

Mies on Scene explores the history of a building that changed the course of architecture in Europe and across the globe. It tells the story of the Barcelona Pavilion, the masterpiece through which Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich staged their revolutionary ideas in 1929. Its construction and subsequent reconstruction immerse us in a reflection on the perception of art, space, and the concept of a masterpiece.

In the same vein as artists of the post-painterly generation (Robert Ryman, Agnes Martin, Brice Marden)—despite the generational gap—the painter tends to view painting as an object rather than an illusion, pursuing a purist reduction that was also the goal of the aforementioned artists as they stripped their canvas experiments down to the essentials.
