Finissage: Aníbal Catalán. Babel

EIKON and wildpalms invite for the finissage of Babel: tomorrow was another day, which Aníbal Catalán drew for EIKON Schaufenster. The installation suggests a cynic comment on the modernist concept. Trained as an architect and visual artist, Catalán revisited through his body of work the failures, utopias and heterotopias of modernism. The title refers to Babel, built while being destroyed. It embodies the promise of a “tomorrow” that never will come.
