With the beginning of the global pandemic, Covid-19, we quickly realized the importance of the clubs and the dance floors. Thinking and conceiving the club as a social site, as a meeting place, as a territory of experimentation, and as a laboratory of the emerging. Clubs are an important part of the cultural characteristics of each city.

CLUBS, Art at the dance floor is an expanded three-day lasting exhibition spread around nine nightclubs in Barcelona that feature the dance floors as temporary hosts of contemporary artworks and artistic installations, with the aim of offering a different proposal for the dance halls. The project generates new synergies between the clubs and the artists, galleries, museums, public and private foundations, and other institutions.

This project was born from the desire to offer a response to the nostalgia of stepping on a dance floor again after months of confinement and has also become a claim to use these spaces as places of encounter, escape, and experimentation with culture. It is a proposal that allows the public to have a different experience in spaces that are normally reserved for nightlife, thus expanding the cultural offer of the city of Barcelona on the international art scene.
