After lunch at home, I made my way over to the Circulo de Bellas Artes, (metro Sevilla), where we enjoyed the exhibit Sueños de un grifo: Diseño con alma de agua. Dreams of a Faucet (수도꼭지의 꿈) is an exhibit designed to show us the importance of water in our lives, through the exploration of how normal, everyday objects brings us together with water. It was amazing! As the faucet is the most common object that brings us together with water, we were told it would be the one to present every part of the exhibit to us.There were multiple stands of digital screens w/ a faucet at the head of each one, mimicking a sink. The screens would tell us "open me," and when we turned the knob of the faucet, a light would shine on the object of interest, and give us a little introduction to it.
Ink Calendar: This calendar is made of a special absorbant material placed above paper. I assume it absorbs at the right pace in order to match the actual passage of time.
W+W: This is a sink and toilet placed together. The water that is collected from the sink goes down to form the water that wells in the toilet, so that when we flush, we don't waste more water.
Afterwards, we went up so Abby could become a VIP member of the Circulo de Bellas Artes (CBA), and as we were coming down the stairs, we stumbled upon a modern art exhibit in the Sala de Picasso (Picasso room). Abby and I stood by "Máquinas y maquinaciones" (Machines and machinations) for a while, reading all the ideas that the artist, Ana García-Pineda, had come up with. I'd highly recommend her work in book form as a gift! Example: Machine for making all bad news come in an unknown language.
Afterwards: A quick stop at home and then off to tapas and a board-game cafe!
