Joan Miró's lithographs arrive at the FLEM in Magaluf

PalmIn addition to Helen Fielding, Pedro Mairal and Antonia VicensAmong many others, one of the protagonists of the new edition of FLEM, which will take place from October 2 to 5 in Magaluf, will be the painter Joan Miró. The arrival of ten lithographs from a series of twenty, linked to the poetry collection Wonders with acrostic variations in Miró's garden, by Rafael Alberti, in one of the rooms of the INNSiDE Calviá Beach hotel is the result of a collaboration agreement between the festival, organized by the Rata Corner bookstore and INNSiDE by Melià, and the Miró Mallorca Foundation, which was presented this Wednesday morning.

Fifty years after the publication of the collection of poems that Alberti dedicated to the painter, published by the Polígrafa label in 1975, ten of the twenty lithographs that Miró painted inspired by the verses that the Andalusian writer had dedicated to him with the poetry that the painter cultivated while based in Mallorca will be exhibited within the framework of FLEM. In addition to the exhibition Alberti, Miró - Poet, painter, which will be part of the Secret Rooms programme of the festival, the agreement between FLEM and the Miró Mallorca Foundation will mean that Joan Miró will also be present at another of the events promoted by the organisers of FLEM: the Live for the Arts sessions, an artistic and cultural event that will take place in New York on 23 October.

In any case, this exhibition fits within the storyline that stars The magic spark, the exhibition that can be seen at the Miró Mallorca Foundation since the end of July as part of Paysage Miró, an exhibition project about the artist spread across four venues in Ciutat. In the case of The magic spark, the exhibition aims to document not only everything that served as the starting point for Miró's work, but also the constellation of artists who inspired him, including writers such as Rafael Alberti.

In addition to Joan Miró's lithographs, the FLEM's Secret Rooms will be filled with the work of other artists such as Albert Pinya, Ana Jarén, and Patricia Bolaños.
