Entre la lletra i la imatge

Within the framework of the Official Master's Degree in Analysis and Management of the Artistic Heritage of the UAB, students and experts of the art world have conceived and prepared an exhibit entitled Entre la lletra i la imatge, un itinerari pel fons hemerogràfic MARCA (Between the text and the image, an itinerary through the MARCA journal archives). An approach to the relationship between the main elements of the page, the word and the image, form and content. An evolution represented through Catalan magazines of art and culture. A sample to reflect upon the change of direction towards a world which is more and more visual, where the updating of contents and the acceleration of time lead us towards a language of images. 
 
The exhibit also works as a vindication and it is also giving value to this mass objects that were an important innovating space and experimentation for artists, illustrators, poets and printers. A massive medium of communication in which illustration has gone from being an accessory to become an element of creativity. A journey through which visitors will see episodes such as the loneliness of words, the accessory image, words turned into images or the all powerful image narrating by itself.
 
The archives of the Marca magazine is a treasure kept by the Communication Library and General Newspaper Archives of the UAB. A collection of art and culture magazines from the end of the 19th century and the Civil War which the university obtained for its collection in 1971. This collection, with more than 130 publications, is named Marca because it was gathered by the bookseller Joan Marca i Marca. An important document base, very useful for researchers, digitalised by the UAB and the Library of Catalonia.
