In addition to Sónar by Day's new location at Feria Montjuďc and its habitual Sónar by Night venue at Fira Gran Via, Sónar also counts on two other important settings for its 20th Anniversary: the Catalonia National Art Museum and CosmoCaixa.
For the first time Sónar collaborates with the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (Catalonia National Art Museum), located just 5-minutes walking distance from the headquarters of Sónar by Day. It will house the huge digital sculpture Matter by British artist Quayola, a textural reinterpretation of Rodin's "The Thinker", which will be installed in the Museum's Oval Room.
The installation will be available for viewing on four festival days: Thursday 13th (18.00 to 22.00), Friday 14th (10.00 to 22.00), Saturday 15th (10.00 to 22.00) and Sunday June 16th (10.00 to 15.00). Free admission.
Meanwhile, regular festival collaborator CosmoCaixa will host Labyrinthitis by Danish artist Jakob Kirkegaard; a sound piece based on the music emitted by the human body, which will be installed at the museum's central staircase.
The installation will be available for viewing on three festival days: Thursday 13th,Friday 14th, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th June (see schedule here). Free admission.
Both activities are part of the Sónar+D program.
