Jordi Güell, or the magnetic attraction of the abstract, arrives at the Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel
July 18, 2008
If what is habitual becomes custom, the resulting surprise can be exciting. The inimitable Jordi Güell presents, from 15 July to 15 September, an exhibition in which the language of the abstract magnetizes through its power; through the passion it exudes. This is a proposition which can be viewed during this period at the Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel in Barcelona.
Time does not stand still in Marc Goodwin’s photography
July 15, 2008
Marc Goodwin’s images do not take possession of time, but neither do his photographs enslave themselves to a sole instant. TIME, the latest display of pictures by this London artist closes the trilogy of “Urban Landscapes”, housed by the Eurostars Angli 4*, which began in March. From 9 July to 31 August, photography fans who are also fascinated by urban landscapes will have the opportunity of submerging themselves in Goodwin’s particular notion of time.
Raghu Rai photos
February 14, 2008
Budding photographers take note: brilliant Indian photojournalist Raghu Rai, born in Jhang (now Pakistan) in 1942, has his work up at a free exhibition in Casa Asia: distinct passages of India that are as resonant as they are colourful and quirky. A man sleeps peacefully in Old Delhi as the world races past him. A sacred cow wanders nonchalantly through the rot and rubble of a shantytown. A group of brightly clothed mourners huddle on the steps in Harishchandra Ghat as pedestrians busy by… look and learn.
Open 10am-2pm; 5-8pm Tue-Sat
Until April 27

Zarabanda
February 14, 2008
A rambling shack of a bar, with a low-fi vibe, friendly service and healthy-sized salads seasoned with honey and sprinkled with walnuts; crepes stuffed with vegetables, pesto and goat cheese, or mushrooms and Spanish ham, (plus a dozen other tasty options), an extensive choice of drinkies at the bar and a bill that comes to 15 euros max. Zarabanda is the reliable weekday option for those who just want to hang out somewhere comfy and let hunger dawn (or dusk) on them.
Open 7.30pm-midnight daily
