Villa Manin is opening its doors to Joan Mirò, the undisputed icon of Surrealism. A «must see» exhibit dedicated to the final phase of the great Spanish painter’s artistic output has just inaugurated. The curators of the hosting museum located in Italy’s Friuli region have offered three halls to Mirò and requested original music written by Teho Teardo, the most respected and widely recognized composer in Italy today. The musician moved in to Mirò’s studio in Palma, Majorca for a few days and had free access to the tools and objects that once belonged to the painter. This gave him the opportunity to further advance along his path of musical research and experimentation, inspired by the works he was surrounded by. The result is evocative and exciting. See the video filmed during the recording sessions in Majorca.
