ART MEETS APOLO unites clubbing and art in different spaces of the venue
ART MEETS APOLO, a multidisciplinary exhibition project that addresses the relationship between club culture and art through the eyes of different artists from the city.
The art gallery and the club have always existed in constant opposition: while the former is associated with observation and stillness, the other tends to relate to agitation and chaos. However, both are platforms for the personal expression of both the author and the receiver, creating emotionally intense and immersive experiences.
The point of intersection between clubbing and the art world, so intimately linked, is precisely what has pushed the venue to create a project that helps to strengthen ties and experience these realities as a whole.
The proposal has been conceived and coordinated together with the LAB36 gallery and Galeria Senda, bringing together two worlds and their respective artists, audiences, ways of working, knowledge and experiences with a clear and common benefit: local culture.
“DREAM TEAM” BY ANDREI WARREN
Andrei Warren premieres the work “Dream Team” on the stairs that connect La (2) and Sala Apolo. A 3D creation digitized by the creative studio Misato Studio where the striking details and the playful and funny expression of the characters stand out to explore the feelings that are often evoked during social gatherings and evening meetings.
“GRID.IO” BY LANDSCAPES
Halfway between choreography and ephemeral architecture, GRID.IO lands in the passageway between La [5] and La [2] as a new kinetic light installation by Landscapes, a leading digital arts agency that creates, curates, and produces audiovisual and immersive projects.

“CANIQUES” DE ANNA CARRERAS
La programadora creativa y artista visual, Anna Carreras, crea “Caniques”: un patrón hecho a partir de codificación como si se tratara de píxeles y representado físicament en 10.000 canicas de colores.
La obra de arte generativo, que se encuentra en un panel situado en el pasillo que conecta el Hall con La (2) y La (3), reflexiona sobre la complejidad de los pequeños gestos y la naturaleza imprevisible que genera patrones únicos.
“GRID.IO” DE LANDSCAPES
A medio camino entre la coreografía y la arquitectura efímera, GRID.IO aterriza en el espacio de paso entre La [5] y La [2] como una nueva instalación lumínica cinética creada por Landscapes, agencia líder en artes digitales que crea, comisaría y produce proyectos audiovisuales e inmersivos.
“PRISM” DE LANDSCAPES
La instalación PRISM, de Landscapes, convierte La [3] en un espacio vivo y cambiante. La obra dialoga con el entorno y su vitalidad: las plantas suspendidas, las sombras que se transforman y la luz que respira con el paso del día y la noche.
"[EXISTS IN NON-ENGLISH]" DE SEJAL PAREKH
La artista británico-hindú afincada en Barcelona, Sejal Parekh, presenta la obra “[EXISTS IN NON-ENGLISH]", una instalación videográfica ubicada entre La (2) y La (3), que reflexiona sobre como el lenguaje configura nuestras identidades.
Una obra centrada en acciones cuotidianas o estadios vitales – cerrar una puerta, lavarse los dientes, estornudar, sobrepensar, doblar la ropa o morir – que hacemos sin utilizar el inglés, concebida como la lengua dominante. Además, utiliza la estética de los paneles luminosos de tiendas de alimentación o supermercados 24h, muchos de ellos regentados por personas migrantes.
