THE PAINTING SECTION FROM DAVIS MUSEUM The Davis Lisboa Mini-Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona Davis Lisboa, "Galerie légitime 10", 2018, oil on canvas, 15,74 x 11,81 x 1,57 in (40 x 30 x 3,5 cm) What/who inspired the work? I was inspired by a Robert Filliou's artwork titled "Galerie légitime" (Legitimate gallery), 1968, his own itinerant gallery, a hat full of small "mummified" objects that gave free rein to the intuitive invention of the public, in the manner of the ready-made, a example of these testimonies of nomadism and the public is invited to build their own paper hat. What do you hope its viewers will feel/think? I hope that viewers understand that there is a narrative within the history of art that deals with the artists who created their own museums. This narrative is constructed through Marcel Duchamp (Boîte-en-valise, 1936-1941), Robert Filliou (La galerie légitime, 1962-1963) and Marcel Broodthaers (Musée d'Art Moderne, Département des Aigles, 1968-1972) . Following this narrative, I decided to create the Davis Museum, The Davis Lisboa Mini-Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona (2009-ongoing), which is, simultaneously, a readymade sculpture, a non-profit collective art project, and at the same time, a cultural entity recognized by the Generalitat de Catalunya (an Autonomous Community in Spain). Created symbolically in an electoral ballot box and disseminated mainly through Facebook, the Davis Museum is also the smallest contemporary art museum in the world. Why did you choose the medium, the frame format and color? I chose oil on canvas because I am interested in painting not only because of its versatility as a medium but also because of its rich historical repository of images and ideas. Only the best materials have been used: linen fabrics, Blockx painting medium and Old Holland oil paintings. As the Davis Museum is a cube, I chose the frame of the paintings to be square. I spent a lot of time using the blue color. I can be back to black and white. “The Paintings Section” is the only section of the Davis Museum where works of art are on sale.
