EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Awards

As part of the major exhibition 'Què és això?' at the Palau Victòria Eugènia in Barcelona, two LINA fellows present artistic installations exploring displacement, memory, perception, and the ways we inhabit space — on view until 05.07.2026.

"Waiting" by Mark Kantalinsky-Vasilyev and Clàudia Jansana-Rodon reflects on migration, resilience, and collective responsibility, inviting visitors to experience waiting as a shared human condition — one felt most acutely by those forced to flee their homeland. Presented by CAMARAC. Mark is a Ukrainian refugee, architect, and art activist; Clàudia, a filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist.

"Barcelona Pavilion Through Visitors' Eyes" by ToC Creative Hub — Marianna Atshemyan, Sona Hovhannisyan, and Sophie Musoyan — explores how the pavilion is perceived, inhabited, and interpreted by its visitors. Marianna is an art manager, Sona a curator and art critic, and Sophie an artist and printmaker, all from Armenia.

Al mig, delimitat per una lleugera cortina groga, s'hi desplega l'espai central dedicat a les obres més recents que s'incorporen a l'arxiu: els 40 projectes seleccionats pel jurat dels EUmies Awards 2026 (EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Awards).
