ART MEETS APOLO unites clubbing and art in different spaces of the venue
"[EXISTS IN NON-ENGLISH]" DE SEJAL PAREKH
The British-Indian artist based in Barcelona, Sejal Parekh, presents “[EXISTS IN NON-ENGLISH],” a video installation located between La (2) and La (3), which reflects on how language shapes our identities.
The work focuses on everyday actions or life stages—closing a door, brushing one’s teeth, sneezing, overthinking, folding clothes, or dying—things we do without using English, conceived as the dominant language. It also draws on the aesthetic of illuminated signs from grocery stores or 24-hour supermarkets, many of them run by migrant communities.
“CANIQUES” DE ANNA CARRERAS
Creative coder and visual artist Anna Carreras presents “Caniques”: a pattern generated through code as if it were pixels, and physically represented by 10,000 colored marbles.
This generative artwork, displayed on a panel located in the corridor connecting the Hall with La (2) and La (3), reflects on the complexity of small gestures and the unpredictable nature that produces unique patterns.
"AUTOPARK" DE MARTIN VATALITI
The installation AUTOPARK, by Martín Vitaliti, transforms La [3] into a temporal fissure where past and present overlap. Through a collection of original postcards intervened with lights and reflections from present-day Apolo, the piece activates a latent memory—that of an amusement park inaugurated in 1935. The images open up like windows where both eras coexist in a ghostly way, rewriting history in real time.
The work establishes a constant dialogue between archive and experience, between what once was and what still resonates. Contemporary flashes break into the old scenes as a living layer, generating a tension between document and imagination. Each composition becomes a suspended moment—an echo that invites us to look at the space with different eyes and to perceive the invisible traces that still inhabit it.

"MIRRORSTROKE" BY ALICIA GIMENO
The work is activated by the movement of the audience: a choreography of reflections that constantly transforms, deconstructing and reconfiguring the space with every gaze.
MIRRORSTROKE turns the line into an experience, unfolding a moving landscape that invites viewers to inhabit the space through a new perception.
"PULSE OF APOLO" DE OSCAR ZABALA
The piece, created in real time through generative processes, captures the pulse that animates the club: a vital current expressed through liquid light in motion. Each moment is unique, an unrepeatable vibration that invites the audience to immerse themselves in the atmosphere and tune into the invisible energy flowing through the body and the space.
The work is part of the ongoing CODEX series, in which Zabala explores the ability of generative images to materialize emotional states and sensory architectures.
"APOLO" DE ARYZ
Large-scale painter Octavi Arrizabalaga, known as Aryz, presents the god Apollo as a mural painted directly on the main façade of Apolo. It is a contemporary reinterpretation of the Greek god, a symbol of the arts, music, and creativity—values closely linked to Paral·lel Avenue and the venue itself.
Aryz portrays Apollo with a defiant and self-assured stance, a way of emphasizing and reclaiming the importance of culture in the city of Barcelona. The figure of Apollo is conceived through the fragmentation of the body, anatomy, and the representation of movement, in continuity with the artist’s work developed in recent years.
