The Mariscal exhibition at La Pedrera is, quite simply, brilliant. From the past 29th of September until the 30th of January, this quirky show structured in 6 different parts covers the artist’s early sketches, letters and typographies, graphic art, textiles, furniture and other paraphernalia, visual poems, film and a final installation surprise. This is a complete experience of Mariscal’s work.

What to do This Weekend – 29th to 31st
This weekend seems to be all about music and movies, so there’s lots of options for the next few days.
Papel Pintat
In a world ever more fast paced and frenetic, it was nice to slow down for awhile and enjoy the opening of a small but very inspiring exhibition. Taking into consideration that people move countries and houses more often than in past decades, decorative elements for homes have become less of a priority. In the special case of wallpaper, it has been restaurants, shops, hotels and offices that have really taken to the idea of using this decorative element. This new show puts the spotlight firmly on the new types of wallpapers that have appeared in recent years and demonstrates the radical changes that this interior design item has undergone since it’s first appearances.
Mariscal Sketches Party
I was invited to the launch party of Mariscal’s new book Sketches this past Friday at Palo Alto. A new tome filled with the artist’s drawings over the years. I find his work a bit irritating, but I do believe he has played a very important part in Spanish design and illustration history. Part rebel, part provocative, Mariscal narrates stories through his drawings. Stories that we can all relate to, everyday situations, ingenuity with a naughty twist. He was the person charged with creating the 92′ Barcelona Olympic mascot, Cobi.
