In 2009, Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de

Palma, celebrated its fifth anniversary. The entire team made a

special effort to offer the kind of quality exposition and activi-

ties programmes deserved by this important commemoration

and all those who awaited it. Now, in this report, we recall all

the initiatives that took place in 2009: from the Anselm Kiefer

exhibition, whose opening marked the start of the fifth-anniver-

sary commemoration and drew more than 1700 attendees, to the

renewal of the permanent collection, including performances like

those by Lydia Lunch, Christina Rosenvinge, Eduard Escoffet and

the Au Ments company, without forgetting the great project ac-

complished by the education department with the programme

«Cartografiem-nos» and others for education and social inte-

gration. As I was saying, now is the moment to reflect upon

these efforts and recognize that they were not in vain. As such,

I would like these first lines to be ones of congratulations for

the team at the museum because I sincerely believe that we

achieved the quality that we aspired to. Moreover, I would like

to extend my special thanks to the great support of the general

public who demonstrated their interest in the museum.

At the beginning of 2009, a good portion of the museum’s col-

lection was removed from public exhibition for two purposes.

On one hand, the artistic department (together with the writer

of these words) needed time for a study of the works that

make up the Es Baluard art collection in light of proposed fu-

ture expositions, temporary viewings or selections. Each one

will be different, in order to offer the dynamism and wealth of

analysis that every art collection presents. On the other hand,

starting in January and for the next seven months, the muse-

um housed an exhibition that needed a lot of space: «Anselm

Kiefer. Works from the Grothe Collection». It was the German

artist’s first individual exposition in the Balearic Islands, dis-

playing some works that are considered to be the most rep-

resentative of his career. More than 43.000 people visited the

exposition. At the same time, two other exhibitions opened:

«Power Food», a project by Antoni Miralda and the FoodCultura

Museum Foundation; and «Robert Mapplethorpe», which con-

sisted of portraits, self-portraits, bodies and flowers, with a

selection of the most significant works by the photographer

from the United States.

The three exhibitions, in three separate spaces at the mu-

seum, generated great interest in Es Baluard—an interest that

was reflected on the pages of major national and internation-

al newspapers and journals. In addition, there were ten tem-

porary exhibitions during 2009. In addition to those already

mentioned, we must add (in order) «Under the Snow», pain-

tings by the great Russian artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov; an

homage to the centennial of the birth of the painter Juli Ramis

from Soller, for which an encounter was arranged with those

artists with whom he maintained friendship and other those

who left their mark on his work, through the exposition «Juli

Ramis visits Picasso, Marie Laurencin, Wifredo Lam, Archie

Gittes, Wols, Miró, Nicolas de Staël, Poliakoff, Fautrier, Masson»;

«Joan Cortés. Memory of Water» was the light, white proposal

for the Es Baluard Aljub by the Pollenca artist; this was fol-

lowed by a garden of light, the immense «Garden of Eden#2»,

by the Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos, also housed in the

historical collection.

of programming around «Power Food», for which, in addition

to conferences on nutrition and rondalles, Gaspar Caballero

came from Segovia to teach a course on organic horticulture;

and even the youngest tykes learned to prepare creative reci-

pes with the help of the artist Neus Marroig. Moreover, the

annual «Llunes d’Es Baluard» programme brought together

3.000 people on Fridays in July on the museum’s terrace for

great acts of sound poetry and performances whose common

theme was words.

To finish this undoubtedly limited review of the activities

undertaken this year, I would like to highlight the initiatives

aimed at visitors’ loyalty. With this in mind, we integrated the

special «Tu decideixes» admission rate into «Llunes d’Es Balu-

ard» programme. Set at the end of 2008, the rate allows visi-

tors on Friday to pay what they wish and enjoy Es Baluard for

as little as 0,10 euro. We extended the museum’s hours to stay

open until midnight every Friday in July and August. Like-

wise, in order to promote more sustainable transportation in

the city and support the opening of the city’s new bike lanes,

Es Baluard created bicycle parking in the central patio and

established «Si véns en bici», a new 2 euro admission rate.

Also in 2009, we worked on the design of a new, more inter-

active and innovative website that will be ready in just a few

weeks. Truly, the most important step towards promoting ties

between visitors and others interested in Es Baluard were the

efforts made to create a social network through the use of

platforms like Facebook, Tuenti and Twitter, the success of

which has allowed for notably increased abilities to gather

people together, transmit information and exchange opinions.

I wrote in the 2008 annual review that we at Es Baluard needed

to promote «a new dynamic oriented towards increasing com-

munication with the public so that the museum can be un-

derstood and appreciated as the public institution it is, in

addition to promote an opening up to new horizons beyond

the Balearic Islands through the collaboration with museums

and art centres on the front lines of the international map». I

believe that in this short period of time, to the best of our abil-

ity and fully aware that everything can be improved, in the

year 2009 we have created a social network for Es Baluard,

one that makes possible new participation by the public, new

collectionists, private companies and other institutions will-

ing to collaborate on different projects. I can’t neglect to men-

tion the generous support from Bancaja, Air Europa, Caja del

Mediterráneo (CAM), Obra Social Sa Nostra, Fundació IBIT,

MENU, Secretary of Tourism of City Hall of Palma, Horrach

Moyà Hotels and Poraxa, to whom Es Baluard owes a deep

thanks for their contributions. Likewise, we hold in high es-

teem the involvement of museums and art centres that form

an ever-growing and better-connected network, as well as the

participation of media, newspapers and specialized journals

that have spread the word about the museum’s initiatives.

So then, I would like to thank each and every one of you,

because in 2009—the fifth anniversary of Es Baluard Museu

d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma—we took one more

step, and a very important one, towards the excellence we

strive for and towards the unification of a museum that is

just starting out and that, together, we help to develop and

improve year after year.

Cristina Ros SalvàDirector


In conjunction with the celebration of Art at Night, the major-

ity of the exposition space at the museum featured the perma-

nent collection by way of «Crossing Landscapes: A Look at the

Es Baluard Collection». The exposition joined together artists

that spanned distant periods, diverse attitudes regarding their

own works, and different observations on individuality and

collectivity; its opening marked the beginning of a collection

of publications that feature works from the Es Baluard col-

lection and highlights (as evidenced in the nature of the se-

ries) the diverse views an art collection offers. The collection

grew substantially in 2009, thanks to the acquisition of 40

works—among them are paintings signed by Amador, Broto,

Carbonero, Mònica Fuster, García Sevilla, Sicilia and Uslé;

sculptures by José Bechara, Daniel Chust Peters, Pep Llambias,

David Nash and Jorge Mayet, an installation by Tim Noble

& Sue Webster and photographs by Rafael Agredano, Helena

Almeida, Per Barclay, Joan Ramon Bonet, Pepe Cañabate, Joan

Fontcuberta, Alberto García-Alix, Pierre Gonnord, Dionisio

González, Alfredo Jaar, Joan Morey and Eulàlia Valldosera.

That said, new acquisitions were not the only source of

new additions to Es Baluard. Collaborations with collection-

ists from or related to the Balearic Islands and the trust they

placed in the museum led to an increase in the temporary

loans from three private collections of such important works

as three paintings and a sculpture by Anselm Kiefer (prop-

erty of the Grothe collection), two paintings by Imi Knoebel,

Jim Bird and Ramon Canet; one each by Luis Gordillo, Gunter

Forg, Helmut Dorner, Ciria, Peter Zimmermann, Rafa Forteza,

Horacio Sapere; a sculpture by Anthony Caro and 29 ink

drawings by Antoni Marí Ribas Portmany. With these words,

I can only extend my deepest thanks for the generous contri-

butions by these collections, the majority of which choose to

remain anonymous.

Before 2009 began, Es Baluard proposed the enhancement

of collaborations with museums and art centres from dif-

ferent cities across the world, not only for the profitability

of its projects but also and mainly as a way to promote the

museum and establish and strengthen its national and in-

ternational ties. Thus, we worked with the MKM museum

in Duisburg and the Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur in Bonn

(Germany) on the organization of the Anselm Kiefer exposition;

we co-produced the Antoni Miralda exposition with Artium in

Vitoria; after its exhibition at Es Baluard, Robert Mapplethorpe’s

work travelled to the TC3 Building in Slovenia and the CAC in

Málaga; Ilya and Emilia Kabakov’s exhibition was made in con-

junction with the CAC in Málaga, the Sara Hildénin Taidemuseo

in Tampere (Finland) and the Museum am Ostwall in Dortmund,

while Joana Vasconcelos’ installation was subsequently shown

(2010) at the Centro Cultural de Belém, Museu Colecção Berardo

in Lisboa. As for educational programming, it is important to

note the collaboration that Es Baluard established within the

Euroregion through Centre d’Art la Panera in Lleida, CDAN in

Huesca and Le CRAC (Sète, France), as well as programmes

oriented towards special education and hospital environ-

ments wherein work was done with people with mental ill-

nesses. These experiences will continue throughout 2010 and

into the future.

The documentation following in this report attests to the

achievement of Es Baluard’s goal to connect expositions with

a majority of the museum’s activities, from educational ac-

tivities to all types of initiatives aimed at diverse audiences.

For this purpose, the Cultural Action department organised

conference series and dialogues with important specialists

on Anselm Kiefer’s work, a Neuer Deutscher Film series, and

dance and theatre performances associated with the German

artist’s painting and philosophy. Also, there was a full range

Art Department

The Art Department’s main goals are to conserve, research and disseminate the permanent collection and develop a temporary exhibition programme that strikes a balance between disseminating the museum’s own collection, promoting Balearic artists by framing them within the international context and introducing the Balearic community to works by great modern and contemporary artists.

«Anselm Kiefer. Works from the Grothe Collection»

With «Anselm Kiefer. Works from the Grothe collection»,

the first individual and retrospective exhibition of the artist

in the Balearic Islands, Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern

i Contemporani de Palma celebrated its fifth anniversary.

The exhibition was co-organized with Bancaja and curated

by Walter Smerling, president of the Stiftung für Kunst und

Kultur in Bonn, and presented carefully selected works

created by the artist between the beginning of the 1980s

and today. They were in immense format and were very

significant works in Anselm Kiefer’s career, as well as being a

worldwide reference point for the investigation and conquest

of new forms of expression for interpreting the world and an

immersion in the sources of knowledge.

«Anselm Kiefer. Works from the Grothe collection» presented

a different view of the work of this German artist, who

was born in 1945 in Donaueschingen and now resides in

France. He is interested in retrieving the historical memory

of his country -the dramas and consequences of the Second

World War-, as well as in Kabbalah, Judeo-Christianity and

mythology, among other subjects that allow him to enter into

their inner world through metaphors, allegories and frequent

literary references to Paul Celan, Ingeborg Bachmann, Goethe,

Heidegger, etc. Kiefer’s works interrogate the observer, they

make one question the past, present and also the future

through the paintings, as the drama, the questions and the

provocation arise from the heart of the painting. In the words

of Walter Smerling, «Kiefer’s work is a continuous challenge

to the senses and the spirit».

«Power Food». Miralda-FoodCulturaMuseum

«Power Food» was the vigorous title of the Project created by

Miralda-FoodCulturaMuseum, which offered a very personal

view of food and nutrition culture. Since years ago the

FoodCultura team led by the artist has worked at developing

this poetic and powerful view of food in a universal

anthropological environment. The exhibition proposed

a network of connections linking food to energy and to

medicine, as well as to rituals, tradition, beliefs and popular

culture. It analyzed the relationships that are established

between this basic need and the control, marketing, and

representations of power. It therefore offered a look at one of

the main driving forces of our culture, our economy, and our

social relations.

The aphrodisiac values associated with armadillo meat have

survived until the present day, now attached to viagra. Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde appeared side by side with witches

and with Popeye’s spinach, which became a legend of child

nutrition thanks to a typographic error on the amount of

iron that it contained. All of these elements are paradigmatic

of many common customs, representations and beliefs in

contemporary culture. They were illustrated with projections,

posters, recipes, and advertising slogans, as well as a range

of containers that formally represent the powers of the

product that they contain: bottles and other recipients that are

anthropomorphic or include religious imagery, phallus shaped

decanters, all representing a direct transformation of food into

concepts within our culture. Lively colours, a popular kitsch

aesthetic, and the deployment of codes of seduction, tie the

object to health or to success in social relationships, while

transported us from fascination, to recognition or surprise.

Powerfood. Lexicom

Authors: D.A.ISBN: 978-84-612-7214-3586 pages28 x 13.5 cm.Languages: Catalan, Spanish, English and German

This is more like a book on food culture than a conventional exhibition catalogue. Compiled by Antoni Miralda, the exhibition’s creator and artist, and FoodCulturaMuseum, the book introduces fifty concepts that spark reflection on the connections between food/culture and energy/power, accompanied by images that are not intended to illustrate the texts, but rather provide a cross-sectional view. The catalogue also includes articles by 46 experts on these issues.

«Studio: Mallorca and the renovation of landscape painting»

In the early twentieth century, Catalonia and the Balearic

Islands prompted the renovation of the landscape genre in

Spain. With the arrival of the new century, Mallorca became

a destination for writers and artists who found a response to

their concerns on the island.

In addition to Belgian William Degouve de Nuncques, Catalan

painters Santiago Rusiñol and Joaquim Mir were the architects

of the introduction of Modernism and Symbolism, currents

that embodied a reaction against academic painting by

using Impressionist and post-Impressionist elements. After

settling in Mallorca, they forged friendships and shared

experiences with island artists such as Antoni Gelabert,

who was infected by their innovative spirit and developed

a personal and synthetist perspective of landscape painting.

Within a few years, the torch was passed to Hermen Anglada-

Camarasa and his disciples - one of whom was the Argentinian

Tito Cittadini - who had all settled on the island, which they

turned into a source of inspiration. In a brief, yet noteworthy

stay, Valencian artist Joaquín Sorolla found peace and quiet in

Mallorca and gave in to the North Coast’s bewitching beauty.

Key painters in the history of Spanish landscape painting were

on display at Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani

de Palma through its Collection, offering a genuine, innovative

look in their day at Mallorcan landscape.

«Robert Mapplethorpe»

Through his photographs, Robert Mapplethorpe managed

to break through sexual, racial, gender and religious

prejudices and become a mythological figure in the

American homosexual revolution of the 1970s and 80s. As

a mainly studio photographer, he was greatly concerned

with aesthetics. He was man whose steadfast objective

was the quest for emanating beauty or that which could be

discovered in animate and inanimate bodies. He controlled

his compositions to the millimetre –the proportions, the

balance, the focus, the black and white, the shade and light,

the body postures, the attitude, the skin textures- everything

that had to be in the photograph and everything that had to

be left out.

A photographer of classical subjects in search of perfection,

a revolutionary in the socio-political context in which he was

destined to live, Mapplethorpe, through the way he looked at and

interpreted the form and, among other aspects, also for making

his body of work into a kind of diary of his own experiences

and demands, is one of the great precursors of the artistic

photography that dominates the contemporary proposal.

To coincide with the twentieth anniversary of Robert

Mapplethorpe’s death in New York on 9 March 1989, Es

Baluard presented for the first time in the Balearic Islands a

wide-ranging retrospective exhibition of photographs created

between 1975 and 1989, with a representation of the main

themes of the artist’s work – self-portraits, male and female

nudes, portraits of famous people (Andy Warhol, Louise

Bourgeois, Patti Smith, Grace Jones, etc.) and photographs of

flowers, statues and sex scenes.

Ilya & Emilia Kabakov. «Under the snow»

Ilya Kabakov, born September 1933, and Emilia Kabakov,

born December 1945, both in Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine), are

two of the most internationally important husband-and-wife

artists to emerge from the former Soviet Union. Ilya Kabakov,

considered the father of Russian conceptual art, trained at the

Surikov Art Academy and worked in Moscow from the 1950s

until the end of the 80s. Emilia has worked since 1975 as an

exhibition organiser and art dealer, and has collaborated with

Ilya since 1989.

Over more than four decades they have created a large body

of paintings, drawings, installations and theoretical texts,

many of which evoke the visual culture of the Soviet Union.

Unlike other underground Russian artists, Ilya Kabakov

joined the Union of Soviet Artists in 1959 and became a full

member in 1965. Despite his position as an «official artist», he

also worked on his own projects, which became increasingly

experimental in the 1960s and conceptual in the 70s. He

became an important figure in the circle of dissident artists.

He lived in Russia until 1987. In 1992 he moved with his wife

Emilia to New York. Today, he lives and works on Long Island.

This exhibition in Es Baluard was the first time work by

the Kabakovs had been shown in the Balearic Islands. It

was made up of large-format paintings and drawings from

the Under the Snow series created between 2004 and 2006.

Although he has mainly focused on installations since the

1990s, Kabakov returned with vigour to painting, which

he had never really left since he began in 1956. And he did

this with works that remind you of the small windows of

landscape that you can see between the clouds when you

are travelling by plane, or those holes in the snow through

which you can see fragments of the earth. Social analysis,

incitement to reflection, Kabakov explains the birth and the

decline of the Soviet Union, while alluding to the «defrosting»

that occurred during the destalinisation or Khrushchev

period, as a mosaic of fragments and memories that bring

together history, landscape painting and abstraction.

The catalogue from the first exhibition in the Balearic Islands of works by artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, considered the most outstanding examples of Russian Conceptualism. Focussing on the recent series Under the snow, this catalogue contains colour reproductions of the works on display, along with critical essays by experts.

«Juli Ramis visits Picasso, Marie Laurencin, Wifredo Lam, Wols, Archie Gittes, Joan Miró, André Masson, Nicolas de Staël, Poliakoff, Fautrier»

On the centenary of the birth of Juli Ramis (Sóller 1909 –

Palma 1990), Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani

de Palma payed homage to this artist who manifested a

constant desire to investigate languages and search for the

perspectives of modernity itself. «Juli Ramis visits Picasso,

Marie Laurencin, Wifredo Lam, Wols, Archie Gittes, Joan

Miró, André Masson, Nicolas de Staël, Poliakoff, Fautrier»

was an exhibition that aimed to reveal the restlessness that

motivated the painter from Sóller, the restlessness that led

him to leave his island, to look far and high, the restlessness

that brought him into contact with the members of the avant-

garde movement and to study them in depth in order to forge

his own language.

The objective of the exhibition, which was organised by Marta

Sierra, was to contextualise the figure of Ramis by visiting the

work of the ten mentioned artists, with whom he had a truly

enriching personal relationship, above all from the artistic

point of view, as, in one way or another, they left a more or

less profound mark on his work or they opened the doors

to other relationships, to the knowledge of other languages,

or to other paths to follow. «Juli Ramis visits Picasso, Marie

Laurencin, Wifredo Lam, Wols, Archie Gittes, Joan Miró,

André Masson, Nicolas de Staël, Poliakoff, Fautrier» aimed

to be a reunion that allowed us, with the passing of time and

through this expositive reading, to analyse the importance

of Juli Ramis’ work in a context of a very distant modernity,

although one that was advanced for the time and the society

of the island on which he was born.

The catalogue of the exhibition on Mallorcan artist Juli Ramis, organised for the centenary of his birth, contextualises his artistic evolution in parallel to his life story and the relationships he shared with artists such as Picasso, Wifredo Lam and Marie Laurencin, among others.

Joan Cortés. «Memory of Water»

Of the sculptors working in the Balearic Islands, Joan Cortés

(born in Pollença, Mallorca in 1964) is possibly the best

known and also has one of the most distinctive sculptural

languages. He returned to the historical origins of the Aljub

with «Memory of Water», a sculpture-installation specially

created for this space in the Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern

i Contemporani de Palma. It prompted a dialogue between

the antiquity of the ancient reservoir and a work of art that

transpired absolute contemporaneity.

«Memory of Water», the material, the colour, the form and the

composition contributed to the description of the sculpture

that Joan Cortés was working on for the past decades: the

delicateness that was manifested not only in the treatment of

the pieces that make up the work, but also in the way some

of the forms had of embracing the others to create new forms

and made us feel the combined vibration; the fragility, as a

characteristic, not so much physical, but of feelings; it gave a

very particular feeling of accumulation, an accumulation that

had nothing to do with Barroquism, but rather with maximum

purification, the minimum amount of gestures, the essential

elements. It is the diversity that repetition can offer when the

artist has a command over the codes of composition, and

the lightness of that which appears to be weightless, of that

which offers the sensation of separating itself from the earth

and rising, as the things of the soul or the things that emerge

from the soul rise, and going directly to it.

Joan Cortés not abandoned any of the connotations of his

sculpture. The white of practically all his works was also the

source of light in «Memory of Water»; a white landscape that,

given the succession of straight and curved plains of great

gentleness and great sensuality, created effects of light and

shade that naturally contributed to a final modelling of the

forms. It was the artist’s own poetry, a white poetry, subtle

and captivating, that, from its diaphanous spirit, proffered a

feeling of wellbeing, interior peace and a silence that never

disturbed.

«Crossed Landscapes. Looks at the Es Baluard Collection»

«Crossed Landscapes» marked the start of «Looks at the Es

Baluard Collection», a series of reviews, tours or observations

from various perspectives of the collection of works in Es

Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma’s

care. However, this show had a precedent between September

2008 and January 2009, the «80s and drifting» that signalled

back then the museum’s desire to offer partial studies of its

permanent collection in the form of temporary exhibitions,

views from experts on the museum’s own staff and external

experts who gave and will give in the future all its visitors

the chance to get to know the wealth and the capacity for

multiple readings that the collection of a museum such as

this encompasses.

With the breadth offered by the concept of landscape

painting, understood as a space of observation from different

perspectives, «Crossed Landscapes. Looks at the Es Baluard

Collection» set aside linear knowledge and abstained from all

chronology to present a new view of Es Baluard’s permanent

collection, a selection of which was divided into three areas

that highlighted the coexistence and dialogue between artistic

stances that at first were or might seem divergent. Comparisons

between languages, styles and artists or between the past

and present intersected at «Modernism and Postmodernism»,

«Poetics and Construction» and «The Individual and

Collectivity», three areas of crisscrossing lines, yet also full of

points of convergence or meeting points at junctures.

The exhibition, which occupied a large part of the ground

and first floors, encompassed some 65 works by 40 artists,

most of which belonged to Es Baluard’s own collection, in

addition to works on temporary loan to the Museum from

institutions, companies and private collectors. Many of the

works in «Crossed Landscapes» had never been on display at

Es Baluard before, either because they were among the works

acquired by the Museum during the last months of 2008

and in 2009 or because they were new loans from private

collections.

Divided into three different areas, «Crossed Landscapes.

Looks at the Es Baluard Collection» included works by Marina

Abramovic, Helena Almeida, Anglada Camarasa, Miquel

Barceló, Per Barclay, Boltanski, Joan Ramon Bonet, Broto,

Campano, Ramon Canet, Pepe Cañabate, Maria Carbonero,

Anthony Caro, Toni Catany, Ñaco Fabré, Alberto García-Alix,

Antoni Gelabert, Luis Gordillo, Rebecca Horn, Alfredo Jaar,

Pierre Gonnord, Kiefer, Imi Knoebel, Jason Martin, Joaquim

Mir, Joan Morey, Santiago Rusiñol, Sicilia, Sorolla and Uslé,

among others.

Furthermore, «Crossed Landscapes» brought with it the

launch of a series of publications called «Looks at the Es

Baluard Collection», which bears witness to the multiple and

diverse perspectives from which the works in the Es Baluard

collection can be viewed.

«Garden of Eden #2». Joana Vasconcelos

The installation «Garden of Eden #2», specially created for Es

Baluard’s Aljub by Joana Vasconcelos (b. Paris, 1971), presented

itself as the «negative» of the classical idea of a garden. The

obvious artificiality of the flowers, their powerful luminous

attraction on being shown in dark interior spaces and the

need for a supply of electricity, transported the spectator to an

illusory sensation highlighted by the movement and the noise

of the motors. It was a complete paradox that, on the other

hand, achieved the same level of seduction as a sun-soaked

natural garden at its maximum splendour.

Joana Vasconcelos, conscious of the fact that a garden is a

human construction, a manipulation of nature for a dream or

for individual or collective enjoyment, built this garden with

considerable irony. In a continuous transfer, the artist, who

was born in Paris but is to all intents and purposes Portuguese,

time after time appropriates common objects to turn them

into something extraordinary, she appropriates things that

live in everyday life to lead them to a magic world capable of

generating illusions and creating dreams, and she appropriates

that which is markedly banal to bestow it with a transcendence

in the field of conceptual as well as objectual artistic expression.

For the first time in the Balearic Islands, Joana Vasconcelos,

one of the most solid young artists with considerable strength

and recognition on the international stage, created a work

specifically for a historical setting. However, «Garden of Eden #2» transcended its installation in Es Baluard’s Aljub, as it was

part of a large-scale project in the career of this Portuguese

artist. It was the second work in a series that began in 2007

in the New Art Gallery Walsall (United Kingdom) and which,

after being exhibited in Palma, become part of a major

retrospective exhibition that the Belém Cultural Centre in

Lisbon dedicate to the work of Joana Vasconcelos.

Authors: Aina Calvo Sastre, Jorge Lima Barreto and Cristina Ros SalvàISBN: 978-84-936697-6-868 pages25 x 20 cmLanguages: Catalan, Spanish, English and German

Joana Vasconcelos, a Portuguese artist with a long-standing career, created a work specifically for The Aljub in Es Baluard: «Garden of Eden #2», a vast, colourful, light-filled garden that breaks with any idea of a natural garden. The catalogue contains essays by Jorge Lima Barreto and Cristina Ros, in addition to images from the installation taken by Agustin Torres.

Cultural Diffusion Department

The Cultural Diffusion Department aims to bring the museum and contemporary creation closer to different audiences and make it a space for contemporary art and culture where the wide variety of proposals generated in our community can find a home. We wish to open up the museum to society and make it a place for enjoyment and reflection. Our work is based on two different strands: the education programme and cultural activities for all kinds of publics.

«Família! El dissabte va d’art» From 11.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. on Saturday mornings, we offer

family workshops in which children and parents engage in

creative work together. The activity is divided into two parts:

the first for observation and the second a hands-on part in

the workshop.

We continue to run our workshops for children 6 to 12 years

old and encouraged by last season’s success, we are once

again scheduling workshops for the family’s youngest mem-

bers: children 3 to 5 years old. Children must be accompanied

by an adult in all our workshops.

Ingredients and mixing procedures are the foundations for

creating a good recipe. Using Antoni Miralda’s «Power Food»

exhibition as a springboard, this workshop proposed a tour of

a range of different foods, as well as the rituals and relation-

ships that come with it: cooking, eating, abundance, scarcity

and health. The recipes and preparations were the starting

point for creative reflection on the contemporary food and

eating culture.

Project: Txell Cisa

Since time immemorial, humans have used architecture to de-

fine the physical limits of materials and the vastness of space.

To protect themselves from pirates, the citizens of Palma

erected a sturdy wall during the Renaissance that can still be

seen, touched and felt surrounding the museum today. This

workshop’s objective was to inform participants about the

wall and its function through a number of different activities

and the construction a 5 m2 replica of this ancient structure.

Project: Carles Gispert

After five years of offering the «Família, el dissabte va d’art!»

programme for families with children 6 to 12 years old, we

were aware that many of these children had grown and need-

ed another kind of offer from the museum. These first work-

shops for young people were planned with this intention and

these children in mind.

Artist Carles Gispert proposed taking risks with contemporary

art. The participants used the electronic devices on hand (MP3

player, video camera or mobile phone, camera, video camera,

etc.) to join Gispert and enter the world of contemporary art

through discussion and criticism, but especially through cre-

ative experimentation, enjoyment and a fun-filled spirit.

The workshop’s objectives were:

- To make use of consumption technologies in an aware and

critical manner.

- To work on observation, the critical eye, details, everyday

things, the poetry of simple things.

- To show work methods for finding stories or narratives.

14 participants (the workshop’s total capacity)

Young people workshop, «N-REGISTRA»

Es Baluard’s school programme aims to use contemporary art (the

museum collection and temporary exhibitions) to engage students

in appealing, participative and critical work and help them reflect

on the world around us. Students’ and teachers’ voices are always

heard and heeded as vehicles of content; the work is based on

visual culture and content from the arts education area and com-

mitted to interdisciplinarity and cross-sectional content.

The museum, its collection and temporary exhibitions are the

springboard for the work; a specific programme is designed

and offered for each exhibition. The offer is wide-ranging,

adapted to each level or cycle and framed within the cor-

responding curriculum in each particular case. Our work is

committed to inclusion and integration; thus, we place a spe-

cial emphasis on designing programmes in which students

with special educational needs can participate.

These activities are part of the Palma Municipal Council’s

«Palma, ciutat educativa» programme and are free of charge.

Our offer distinguishes between guided tours of the museum

and studio workshop tours.

«Guaita! Hi ha un museu dins les murades»A tour conceived and designed for pre-school children 3 to 5

years old.

We approach contemporary art, the museum space and its

surroundings through the senses and the body while working

on shapes, colours and materials.

The tour was redesigned to work on the different exhibitions

held during the year: «Animar.te, 20 years of computer ani-

mation at the UIB», «Anselm Kiefer. Works from the Grothe

Collection», «Power Food» and «Crossed Landscapes».

2,070 students

«Es Baluard, un gran racó de ciutat»This tour is for students in primary school, compulsory sec-

ondary school, the baccalaureate programme, vocational

training or adult education, among others.

It is a general tour that provides an introduction to the mu-

seum, its surroundings, the collection and the different tem-

porary exhibitions held throughout the year and includes con-

tent, activities and materials tailored to each level.

4,371 students

Guided tours The purpose of these tours is to forge initial links with the mu-

seum and contemporary art on the basis of the collection and

temporary exhibitions. Different tours with a variety of activi-

ties tailored to visiting students’ levels or cycles are offered.

Tour. «Power Food»

«Es Baluard, un gran racó de ciutat»«Guaita! Hi ha un museu dins les murades»

These tours have a different dynamic than guided tours. There

is one part for observation and reflection in front of works in

the museum galleries and another part for hands-on plastic

work in the studio workshops during which the students work

on and reinforce the concepts introduced during the tour.

The springboard for these visits is a central point of interest

that may be either an aspect of the museum’s permanent

collection or a temporary exhibition, depending on the mu-

seum’s programme.

This type of tour is intended to go beyond the museum di-

mension and involves on-going work with schools before and

after the tour, which requires collaboration among participat-

ing teachers and the museum’s Education Department.

Primary school workshop tour «Diverteix-te amb l’art» Es Baluard arranges different kinds of workshops for each ex-

hibition, given the large differences between primary school

cycles: there is one workshop for the first and second cycles of

primary education and another for the third cycle.

1,301 students

The different workshop tours for primary school offered in

2009 were:

THE STOP MOTION TECHNIQUE WORKSHOPIn January, all the primary school cycles were offered a techni-

cal workshop on stop motion led by the professionals from the

LADAT-UIB, which was based on the «Animar.te, 20 years of

computer animation at the UIB». Students learned how to make

a brief animated work using this technique during the workshop.

THE «KIEFER» WORKSHOPThe children based the workshop on a selection of works

from the temporary exhibition entitled «Anselm Kiefer. Works

from the Grothe Collection», while studying the topic of indi-

vidual and collective memory. The visit began with a studio

workshop activity which was carried out using the children’s

own objects in the museum, which later helped them deci-

pher Kiefer’s works.

THE «POWER FOOD» WORKSHOPUsing objects and images from the exhibition, the children

reflected on the customs and rituals of eating at home, how

they eat, why, with whom, how visual culture shows food

and the importance it has in the international arena.

The children were engaged in working on themselves, their bod-

ies, experiences and expertise throughout the entire workshop.

The activities varied according to cycle, so while the first and

second cycle created a recipe for a magic potion and brewed

it after visiting the exhibition, the third cycle divided in two

groups, the first of which worked on imagery and popular

mythology and the second of which worked on the everyday

world on the basis of news in the media.

THE «CROSSED LANDSCAPES» WORKSHOP The starting point of this activity was the museum terraces

and the «Crossed Landscapes» exhibition. From the vantage

point of the children’s everyday world, we reflected on what

they understood as landscape, which landscapes they are fa-

miliar with, which they would like to visit, where they would

like to live and how they can intervene or improve the land-

scape closest to them.

The workshop’s objective was to work on landscape in a

broad sense, not only as a pictorial genre, but also as the en-

vironment around us, something that is somehow a part of us

and defines and shapes us. The activities differed according to

the participating primary school cycle.

Workshop tours


The secondary school «Opina, no et tallis!» workshop tourbased on hands-on activities in the museum galleries and the

context of visual culture, this workshop helps teenagers learn

how to interpret, respect and evaluate both the museum as

well as contemporary art and the world that surrounds them

in a critical spirit.

This was a two-part activity involving a tour and a practical

workshop.

During January, the workshops were based on the «Animar.te,

20 years of computer animation at the UIB» exhibition and

led by professionals from the LADAT-UIB. Secondary school

students learnt how to make a brief animated work using the

stop camera technique. Later work was based on the «Power

Food» exhibition in which students toured the exhibition and

then used the concepts to design a new exhibition tour or a

visual or verbal intervention in the galleries. Work during the

first quarter of 2009-10 revolved around «The Individual and

Collectivity» gallery of the «Crossed Landscapes » exhibition.

«Cartografiem-nos» is a long-term, interdisciplinary, cross-section-

al project for third-cycle primary school students that reflects on

the territory using tools provided by contemporary art practices.

This project aims to develop a critical view of the natural

or urban environment by working on the neighbourhood in

which schools are located without overlooking the people

who live there. Landscape is approached in a broad sense, not

only as a pictorial genre, but also as the environment around

us that is somehow a part of us. We need to investigate neigh-

bourhoods by emphasising change and difference: the oldest

residents and newcomers as well, the past, the present and

the future.

This research is embodied in a work executed in a fully

contemporary language, a map that reflects on a neighbour-

hood’s other realities, the one children view as important, the

things that have changed, the things they wish to denounce.

In short, the children, their educators and those who believe

in this new cartography are the protagonists. Together an

exhibition is created in the museum that displays the works

by the participating school after first being exhibited in the

neighbourhood where the school is located.

A total of approximately 55 4th-and 5th-grade primary students

from the Lycée Français de Palma took part in the project

in 2008-2009.


«Cartografiem-nos». Exhibition at Es Baluard Project structurePrevious work in school

The children engaged in research on their environment and

conducted interviews with people close to them who had

long been familiar with the neighbourhood - grandparents,

older teachers, shopkeepers – as well as with newcomers and

new neighbours, etc.. In addition, they took photographs and

made drawings of what was significant to them about their

surroundings and compiled objects that established emotion-

al bonds between them and their neighbourhood.

Tour of Es Baluard

Using the museum’s terraces as a starting point, participants

took advantage of Es Baluard de Sant Pere’s own history to re-

flect on the concept of landscape, the subjectivity of the gaze,

the changes the landscape has undergone and the stakehold-

ers in these transformations.

In the museum galleries, the participants worked on landscape

as a cultural fact, its importance, how it changes and how these

changes affect us. These reflections were documented by art-

works on the territory created by contemporary artists.

Hands-on work in the museum’s studio workshop space

In the museum’s workshops, the work was based on reflec-

tions stimulated by the galleries, examples of contemporary

artists and especially documentation on the neighbourhood

and work done previously at school that the students brought

with them. An outline of the project is created at this point

that will be executed in school at a later date.

Creating the project in the classroom

The final project is executed at school with the support and

follow-up of the museum’s team of educators and the involve-

ment of the schoolteachers. However, the project does not end

until the work is exhibited in a space in the neighbourhood.

Exhibiting the work in the neighbourhood and at Es Baluard

Exhibiting is indispensable in achieving the project’s objec-

tives and bringing it to a close. The finished work returns to

the neighbourhood; friends and neighbours see the finished

results based on their contributions, the children infuse their

work with meaning, and lastly, Es Baluard hosts an exhibition

in which the pieces are treated with the same sensitivity as

that afforded to works of art and the entire process and docu-

mentation generated are also on display.

The result of the entire work accomplished jointly by the mu-

seum’s team of educators and the Lycée Français de Palma

was displayed in an exhibition first held at the Casal del Barri

del Terreno (June 5-12, 2009) and later at Es Baluard (June,

23-28 2009). The students entitled the exhibition «Onerret. A

different look at the el Terreno neighborhood».

Meetings for teachersWe are in contact and arrange meetings with teachers from all the groups who tour

the museum during the school year.

In these meetings, teachers are given the classroom material they need to prepare

museum tours, while they engage in an exchange of views with the museum’s

team of educators, which helps make tours successful experiences and achieve the

established objectives.

Agreement with the University of the Balearic Is-landsOn May 26, 2009, a collaboration agreement was signed between Fundació Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma and the University of the Balearic Islands.

The collaboration was established between the museum’s Cultural Dissemination

Department and the Faculty of Education’s Research Group on Diversity and Inclu-

sion in Schools (GREID) in order to initiate joint work to make tours and workshops

accessible to any visiting students with a disability or mental disorder.

Support by “SA NOSTRA”On August 20, 2009 a collaboration agreement was signed with Obra Social “SA NOSTRA” for its Foundation to work with Es Baluard by supporting all its education programme activities from the 2009-2010 academic year onward.

2009 Educational Activities FairAfter the agreement was signed and as a first collaborative act, Es Baluard con-

tributed to the Educational Activities Fair organised by Obra Social “SA NOSTRA”

on September 4, 5 and 6, 2009 with a workshop entitled «Fes una mirada a la

col·lecció d’Es Baluard».

«Exchange network among special education program-mes sponsored by contemporary art centres in the Pyre-nees-Mediterranean Euroregion»

This project, which was launched in 2008 and developed in

2009, is being promoted by Centre d’Art la Panera in Lleida

in order to establish an exchange network among the edu-

cation departments of four museums belonging to the Pyr-

enees-Mediterranean Euroregion programme: la Panera in

Lleida, the Centre for Art and Nature (CDAN) of Huesca, Centre

Regional d’Art Contemporain Languedoc-Roussillon in Sète

(France) and Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani

de Palma. The topic of study was special education, specifi-

cally groups with intellectual disabilities and serious mental

disorders, and the aim was to improve the quality of attention

to these groups by the education departments of participating

institutions.

In order to train educators from the schools taking part in the

project to care for these groups, courses were organised at

each of the centres involved. In November 2008, courses were

held at la Panera and the CDAN.

The training course at Es Baluard took place on February 11, 12 and 13, 2009. The workshops combined meetings with differ-

ent groups of special education professionals and school tours.

Participants toured the following schools: Gaspar Hauser, the

Balearic Association of Parents of Autistic Children, AMADIP,

ESMENT and Gesma (Palma Psychiatric Hospital).

In addition to the tours, the following colloquies were held:

- «Autism spectrum disorder: knowing, understanding and par-

ticipating through art». Members of the Gaspar Hauser school.

- The Gira-sol Mallorcan Mental Health Association.

- «Accessible museums for all». Joan Jordi Muntaner, professor

in the UIB’s Department of Didactics and School Organisation

and lead researcher of the UIB’s Research Group on Diversity

and Inclusion in Schools (GREID).

A number of professionals in the special education field gath-

ered for a round table discussion during a workshop to ex-

change views, establish schools’ operational structures and

discuss different issues as the springboard for their joint work.

The training course at Le CRAC (Centre Regional d’Art Con-

temporain Languedoc-Roussillon) took place on March 2, 3 and 4, 2009.

The results of this research study conducted jointly by the

four art centres were made public during a lecture at the Sec-ond Contemporary Art and Special Education Seminar organised by the Centre d’Art la Panera in Lleida on June 12 and 13, 2009 to which experts in the field of contemporary

culture currently working in special education were invited.

«Contemporary art and hospitals»Encouraged by the success of the first Euroregion project, the

team of educators from Centre d’Art la Panera in Lleida, CDAN

in Huesca and Es Baluard continue to work on the network.

In October, we started a new project called «Contemporary

Art and Hospitals» in order to bring together contemporary

works of art and art centres into the world of hospitals.

The first of two training courses was held in Aix-en-Provence

from November 29 to December 1, 2009 as an introduction to

the French «Culture in hospitals» model and the 3BisF Association

experience. The second training course took place on December 14 and 15, 2009 at Centre d’Art la Panera in Lleida and was

attended by numerous professionals in the fields of contemporary

art and health care who are working along these lines.

At the same time, the art centres set in motion the nego-

tiations needed to hold the workshops with the respective

health institutions.

Two workshops were organised at Es Baluard:

- With «Lluerna», the Mid-Term Care Unit (UME) at Gesma

(Psychiatric Hospital of Palma) under artist Isabel Castro Jung.

- With Son Dureta University Hospital’s Semicritical Paediatric

Unit in Palma under Virgínia Vallés, Bachelor of Fine Arts and

art education teacher. This workshop was supported by the

Faculty of Education’s Technological and Educational Inclu-

sion within the Hospital Setting Research and Intervention

Programme (IneDITHOS) at the UIB.

Speakers

Col·lectiu Sinapsis: Lídia Dalmau and Cristian Añó

Es Baluard’s Education Team

Objectives

• To provide tools related to concepts and procedures for approaching contempo-

rary art work in educational settings.

• To help identify the pedagogical potential of certain artistic practices and their

application in the classroom.

• To provide the basic knowledge needed to establish a field of critical reflection on

contemporary art and visual culture.

Contents

Focal point 1: A contemporary approach to contemporary artChanges in art practices during the past 40 years were addressed on the basis of

a look at the evolution of specific concepts that included the idea of genius and

ranged from working in the studio to public art, from artwork as an object of value

to copyleft, from the fine arts to multidisciplinarity and from the object to the idea,

etc.. Art projects by different creators were presented to illustrate these concepts.

Focal point 2: An approach to projects that links contemporary art practices, pedagogy and educational settingsThis focal point shed light on practices based on diverse concepts and strategies that

address the relationships between art praxis, pedagogical objectives and education-

al environments. Members of the museum’s Cultural Disseminations Department

explained the «Cartografiem-nos» project it develops for island schools.

Focal point 3: A practical application. Classroom interventionsBased on the workshop attendees’ real classroom situations, this focal point at-

tempted to construct intervention proposals based on the course’s theoretical and

practical contributions.

Methodology A combination of theoretical and practical content.

Proposing spaces of active participation to help groups of students develop a

classroom intervention proposal within the framework of the course.

25 teachers participated in the course, which could not cover all the demand for it;

the course had a waiting list.

«Kiefer in context» In connection with the «Anselm Kiefer. Works of Grothe Collection» exhibition,

workshops were organised around the figure of this artist, his times and what he

meant within the context of Spanish art. The workshops’ objective was to expound

on the artistic and cultural times in which Kiefer’s work was created, thus contex-

tualising it, and critically analyse the influence he had on the Spanish art world.

Photography workshop featuring Bruce GildenJune 15 to 18, 2009

Bruce Gilden (Brooklyn, New York, 1946), prestigious member of Magnum Photos

in New York, offered a course for professional photographers as part of the Photo

vidual’s personal nature and guiding them through their pictures to make decisions

during the editing process.

Dialogical practices IIICurators and pedagogies: hybridations and collabora-tions in the museumJuly 2, 3 and 4, 2009

Seminar-workshop coordinated by Javier Rodrigo and Aida

Sánchez de Serdio

In recent years, the practice and theory of art curating has

been undergoing a slow, yet profound transformation that is

calling into question traditional models based on historiog-

raphy and on aesthetic criteria. Without underestimating the

pertinence of these disciplines, the need for other, hybrid ap-

proaches that thoroughly transform ways of interacting with

art in museums is highlighted.

Instead of conveying traditional connotations, pedagogy is

beginning to acquire a creative and critical value within the

production of artistic discourse. Not only are cultural institu-

tions changing their relationships with the public and society

in general, but contemporary artistic practices are also pos-

ing challenges that make the active participation of all stake-

holders involved in their interpretation indispensible; new

curatorial practices view pedagogy as an integral part of the

exhibition project. Furthermore, museums no longer exist in

isolation, but rather are networking with other institutions

and organisations that can enrich the possibilities of produc-

ing meaning in art through collaboration. Finally, the public is

opening itself up to new experiences that allow it to establish

alternative ways of relating to museums all throughout their

lives.

Therefore, this third edition of «Dialogical Practices» proposed

to bring together a number of different local and international

experts in order to share a debate with seminar participants.

This debate examined the possibilities and challenges being

posed by this intersection of curating and pedagogy on the

basis of both theoretical reflection and debate over examples,

as well as the development of practical workshops.

The third edition of «Dialogical Practices» aimed to reflect the

spirit of the first and second editions by working on theory

and practice at the same time, without separating or dichot-

omising the two fields of action, but rather by focusing on

their intersections. To achieve this, the proposed model com-

bined conference presentations and discussions on the proj-

ects with the speakers, as well as an experimental pedagogy

and curating lab in which a project was developed with the

support of the course tutors.

Marketing and Communication DepartmentThe Marketing Department is responsible for obtaining funds for strengthening and vitalising the museum and its programmes. It is also responsible for defining Es Baluard’s corporate identity and ensuring a suitable use of the brand in terms of the museum’s promotion, particularly as part of the range of cultural and leisure events available to the business sector and in relation to the permanent collection, temporary exhibitions and cultural dissemination activities.

The Communication Department is responsible for preparing information about the museum and the internal and exter-nal dissemination of the different activities held there. For this purpose, the Communications Department maintains in-direct information distribution channels, those aimed at the media, as well as those aimed directly at the public, such as the museum’s own website and our presence on the social networking sites. Es Baluard’s audiovisual archive and the maintenance of the newspaper and periodical library and the photograph and video libraries are also part of the de-partment’s functions.

104 Annual Report 2009 | Marketing and Communication Department 105 Annual Report 2009 | Marketing and Communication Department

MarketingIn 2009, the Marketing Department worked to promote the museum and integrate

it into the Balearic Islands’ cultural and leisure offering, particularly in terms of

the business sector and citizens. The following actions were organised to this end:

informative direct marketing and online marketing campaigns, separate advertis-

ing campaigns for each exhibition, workshops, conferences and other museum ac-

tivities (with a separate media plan: newspaper ads, opis circuits, etc.), brochures,

invitations, posters, banners, leaflets and the mass distribution of pamphlets and

other types of material; attention to visitors, spaces on hire for private events, trade

agreements signed and memberships in corporate loyalty programmes; inclusion

in professional excursion programmes in the tourism sector (hotels, travel agencies

specialising in meetings tourism and tour operators); research on sponsorships and

patronage and improving the «Amics d’Es Baluard» programme.

This objective was materialised through the following actions:

-Sales Strategy

-Visitors Service

-«Amics d’Es Baluard»

-Advertising and marketing campaigns that control the corporate identity in

informative direct marketing campaigns and online marketing campaigns

-Sponsorship programme

Sales strategy

Two sub-products are worked on in depth: ticket sales and spaces for hire:

Ticket sales

- Annual negotiation of collaborations with travel agencies, such as TUI (creating

customised tours) Iberoservice, Travelplan, Come2mallorca.com, and Hotelbeds

Mundosenior.

- Agreements with corporate clubs, such as the FNAC, ACOVIS (Via Sindicat Mer-

chants Association), Aliança (the insurance company) or consortia, such as the Balearic

Youth Institute (Carnet Jove Card) and the creation of a special rate for cardholders.

- Agreements with hotel associations and companies that led to the creation of dis-

count cards («Advantage Special Card») customised for each hotel and aimed at the

end client, which include museum tours in weekend city break packages.

- In July, the museum launched a new tour modality called «Si véns en bici», which of-

fers the chance to purchase a €2 admission ticket to the museum any day of the year.

Spaces for hire

- Agreements with catering forms, events planners and travel agencies.

- Acquisition of direct customers (companies) as consultants, official professional

associations, cultural associations, etc.. Implementation of a loyalty policy with

corporate discounts for repeat direct customers with the possibility of becoming

sponsors or patrons.

- Photography and audiovisual shoots (producers such as Robbie Bellapart, Amaz-

ing Spaces, The Production Factory, etc.).

- Agreements with associations, NGOs and institutions to organise special events

with social and media impacts that promote the museum’s image and commit-

ments (FEAPS, Fundación Vicente Ferrer, IB3 Televisió, IBATUR, etc.).

- Member of IMTUR’s Meetings and Incentives Consortium (since 2006) and provi-

sion of promotional material at trade fairs (International Cultural Tourism Fair of

Málaga).

Amics d’Es Baluard


Visitors service

2009 saw the continuation of the programme of visitors booths at the reception

desk and other points in the museum for attending to visitors.

Advertising and marketing campaigns

In collaboration with the museum’s direction, the Marketing Department controls

the proper application of the museum’s corporate identity when promoting it within

the cultural and leisure offer. Furthermore, the museum’s public goals are analysed

in relation to the different co-existing subproducts - permanent collection, tempo-

rary exhibitions, cultural dissemination activities, private tours and spaces for hire

- to decide the best way for goals to be achieved and the marketing and advertising

measures needed to achieve them, which are carried out in different formats:

- Informative direct marketing, online marketing and advertising campaigns:

The Department prepares specific graphic material (invitations, e-mail invitations,

leaflets, banners and posters) for each temporary exhibition ¬-8 of which were

held in 2009 - and for workshops, conferences and other museum activities and

products, such as «Llunes d’Es Baluard», Art Night and International Museum Day

(brochures, e-leaflets and programme hand-outs).

Advertising campaigns for each temporary exhibition, open houses, «Llunes d’Es

Baluard» and Nit de l’Art in local newspapers and magazines and the specialised

national press.

Marketing and public relations campaign: in 2009, the museum created a profile

on the most popular social networks, including Facebook (with over two thousand

friends), Tuenti and Twitter, and launched regular online promotions.

Since its official launch in October 2008, the «Tu decideixes» events on Fridays have

attracted over 70% more visitors than the other days of the week.

«Amics d’Es Baluard»

Launched in 2004, work continues on consolidating this loyalty programme, which

gives members preferential treatment in the museum and maintains an active direct

online communication campaign.

Programme sponsorship and patronage

Since its inauguration, Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma

has had a sponsorship programme for companies and organisations that wish to

link their images to the world of culture and art, in addition to reaffirming their

commitments to a society in which culture is one of the main bastions. Companies

and organisations that are part of the Es Baluard sponsorship programme are linked

for a certain time to the museum, in addition to receiving preferential treatment and

socio-cultural and honorific privileges according to category. The following compa-

111 Annual Report 2009 | Marketing and Communication Department110 Annual Report 2009 | Marketing and Communication Department

CommunicationThe Communication Department’s objective is to disseminate information on the

Museum. To this end, it divides its action lines into:

- Media coverage of the museum and raising its profile

- Newspaper and media archives and documentation work

- Reinforcement and expansion of virtual communication tools

- Coverage of the museum’s own events

Media coverage of the museum and raising its profile

The basic focus of the Communication Department is to keep

the media and general public informed about the museum’s

new offerings. In this sense, the Department maintains direct

relations with local, national and international journalists to

ensure the widest dissemination of the museum’s activities

and publication of the most news articles. One ongoing task

is updating and expanding the database on media of interest.

Other tasks are drafting communiqués, developing exhibition

press kits, taking photographs and videos that document the

museum’s activities, organising and convening press confer-

ences, managing recordings and interviews for the media,

corresponding with journalists and providing them with

documentary material and sending bulk e-mails with infor-

mation on the museum’s activities. The Department’s direct

relationship with communication professionals also includes

attending them on the Internet, by telephone and/or person-

ally during tours of the museum and providing them with

support material so that information can be written up.

Newspaper and media archives and documentation work

The Department compiles information to document the muse-

um’s public profile in the media and makes efforts to expand

and maintain the newspaper and media archives. Some of

the most important work involves compiling daily clippings,

rigorously reviewing the daily press and maintaining subse-

quent files that allow news of interest on exhibitions and oth-

er museum activities to be consulted. In addition, the Com-

munication Department was in charge of creating a video to

commemorate Es Baluard’s 5th anniversary, which assembles

and retells the most important moments and activities during

these first five years of its history. The Department was also

commissioned to create videos on the «Garden of Eden #2»

installation for the audio-visual media and direct dissemina-

tion through Es Baluard’s various communication channels

on the Internet.

Reinforcement and expansion of virtual communication tools

The Communication Department is in charge of maintaining

the website content up-to-date with the latest news on the mu-

seum and its activities. Furthermore, the Department oversees

the promotion of the museum website through the print media,

since it is an immediate and vital portal to the museum. Dur-

ing 2009, Es Baluard’s Communication Department worked on

the design and content of the new website to make it ready

for posting in 2010. Given that Es Baluard’s new virtual com-

munication must comply with the characteristics of a Web 2.0,

It should not be limited to reporting on the museum’s activities

through the Internet, but should in turn, seek feedback from

users in order to understand their views on the activities tak-

ing place. This has been achieved by establishing a structure

that seeks a high profile in social networks such as Facebook,

Tuenti, Youtube, Twitter and Flickr. These new communication

channels are effective thanks to both their immediacy and in-

teractivity, as well as to their stimulation of the public’s loyalty

and their perception of the museum as a modern institution.

Coverage of the museum’s own events

The Communication Department is responsible for covering

events organised by the museum in connection to exhibitions

as well as related activities coordinated by the Education and

Cultural Action Departments. In this area, the Communication

Department files photographs and high definition audio and

video files of museum events and makes them readily avail-

able to television and radio stations primarily in the Balearic

Islands in addition to media on the Spanish mainland.

of the 26th of December and the Decree 45/1998 on the creation and regulation of the

exclusive register of foundations of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands,

of the 14th of April, and the organisation of the execution of the Protectorate, of the 30th of

July of 2003, with authority to operate for an indefinite period of time.

The museum is housed in the Bastion of Sant Pere in the city of Palma and its functional

territory extends to include all the Balearic Islands.

According to the regulatory Statutes, the Foundation’s objective is to sustain, conserve,

exhibit and promote the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Palma, and the works

of art from the Serra Collection, the set of artwork given by other founders and those that

are acquired or by any agreement possessed by the Foundation. This care is to be exten-

ded to new acquisitions that may be made at any time. Indeed, the foundational objective

includes the acquisition and possession of any order of assets.

In order to develop the foundational objective properly, the Foundation conducts the follo-

wing activities, among others:

a) The organisation of art work exhibitions and the production of special exposi-

tions that complement the collection, the set and the other works of art that the

Foundation might possess.

b) All activities necessary or favourable to the sustainment, conservation, exhibition and

public promotion of the museum and works of art in general.

c) The realisation of educational activities and cultural demonstrations, conferences, publi-

cations, and complementary activities or others similar to those mentioned.

d) The direct or contracted management of rooms, shop, library, restaurant, café and all

other spaces pertaining to the museum.

The beneficiary of the activities mentioned is anyone who enjoys them.

Note 4. Rules for registry and valuationThe principal rules of valuation used by the Entity in the elaboration of the annual

financial statements for the year 2009, according to those established by the Gene-

ral Accounting Plan, are the following:

1) Immobilitzat intangible:The assets items contained herein are non-monetary assets that cannot be physically

touched but that have a measureable economic value. They are initially recognized

for their acquisition power. Eventual acquisitions without consideration become assets

for their taxable value or sale value. Asset assignment operations, whether lifetime or

temporary, are appraised at their measured taxable or sale value, according to the rules

established by the Estate Duty and Stamp Tax and Death Duty. They are later appraised

at a lower price according to the accumulated depreciation, calculated as a function of

their lifetime use and the eventual losses for write-down.

The grounds entitled «Baluard of Sant Pere» have been appraised according to the cri-

teria applied by the City Hall of Palma. As for the museum building, ceded to the Foun-

dation in 2004 by the Consortium Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palma,

has been registered for the value of its construction at 16.9 million euros.

The intangible fixed assets with indefinite lifetime value do not depreciate.

The annual amount for depreciation is calculated with a lineal model representing es-

timated useful life of the different depreciable assets from the beginning of its activity,

which is as follows:

Elements included as assignment items depreciate during the assignment period; howe-

ver, if this period is greater than the useful life of the material elements, the estimated

useful material life will be used.


estimated useful life (yrs)Assignments 99

Industrial and intellectual property 5

Information technology applications 3

2) Assets integral to Historical WealthGiven that the social mission of the Foundation is inextricably linked to the muse-

um of the same name, it has been deemed appropriate to use this item to reflect

investments in the works that are property of the Foundation. Therefore, all infor-

mation in the presentation of accounting status that makes reference to Historical

Wealth Assets should be understood as Museum Works.

The appraisal criteria are the same as for material fixed assets. Given that these as-

sets are not depreciable, depreciation amounts are not applied. Neither have write-

down losses been applied.

3)Tangible fixed assets:The different items that are tangible fixed assets are accounted for based on the price

of their acquisition, construction, refurbishment or improvement. Acquisitions without

consideration are appraised at their taxable value or sale value.

The annual depreciation amount is calculated, for depreciable elements, with a lineal

model representing estimated useful life of the different assets, which begins at the mo-

ment the assets begins to function and the beginning of its activity, which is as follows:

estimated useful life (yrs)Constructions 33

Other facilities and installations 10

Furnishings 10

Information processing equipment 5

Other material assets 10

4) Real estate investments.No real estate investments.


5) BarterNo barter.

6) Financial assets and liabilities:The financial instruments registered by the Entity at year-end closing always corres-

pond to items valued at the depreciated cost.

Financial assets.Financial assets are reflected in the current balance upon their acquisition and initial

registration at reasonable cost, which generally includes costs of operation. Financial

assets held by the Entity are classified as:

- Loans and accounts receivable: These correspond to credits (commercial or non-

commercial) originated by the Entity in exchange for the management of assets or

services, the payments for which are set at a fixed or fixable price and are not ne-

gotiated in an open market. Subsequently they are appraised at their depreciated

cost recognizing in the results sheet the accumulated interested according to the

effective interest rate. Credits transacted in foreign currency are converted to Euros

at the closing exchange rate. The losses accrued through write-down are figured in

regards to the risk presented by the possibility of insolvency.

- Collateral down: Collateral offered for operational leases and service provision.

The difference between their reasonable cost and the disbursement amount is

considered to be payment ahead of time for the lease or service.

- Investments in the assets of the group, multi-group and associate companies: The-

se investments are initially valued at cost, which is equivalent to the reasona-

ble cost of the consideration performed plus the directly attributable transaction

costs. Subsequently, they are valued for their cost minus the amount accumulated

by the valuation corrected for write-down.

- Financial assets available for sale: These values represent debt and other compani-

es’ asset instruments. They are initially valued at their reasonable cost, including

an amount equivalent to the value of preferential subscriptions or similar consi-

derations that may be acquired. Later, they are valued at their reasonable vale

without deducting transaction costs incurred through sale. Any changes produced

in the reasonable cost are registered directly in the net assets until the financial

assets causes a drop in the balance or incurs a write-down, in which case the

amount will figure in the profit and loss report.

Write-down correction values.Upon objective evidence at year-end close that an investment’s book value can no

longer be recovered, any necessary value corrections are made accordingly.

The corrective amount is the difference in the financial asset’s book value and the

recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is understood to be the greater of the

reasonable cost minus the sale costs and the current value of the future cash flow

derived from the investment.

Write-down correction values and, if follows, their reversion values, are registered

accordingly as an expense or as earnings in the profit and loss account. The rever-

sion is limited to the financial asset’s book value.


Specifically, at year-end close, objective evidence that the value of a credit (or a

group of credits with similar risk factors that can be valued collectively) has been

written-down as the result of one of more events that occurred after its initial as-

sumption and that have caused a reduction or a delay in the estimated cash flows

to be received in the future and could be the source of insolvency on the part of the

debtor will be duly noted.

The write-down loss will be the difference between the book value and real value

of the future cash flows estimated to be received, subtracted from the rate of liqui-

dity calculated upon its initial assumption.

Financial liabilities. Classified as:

- Debt and accounts payable: Charges (commercial or non-commercial) accrued by the

Entity in exchange for the direct acquisition of assets or services, the payments for

which are set at a fixed or fixable price and are not negotiated in an open market.

Subsequently they are appraised at their depreciated cost recognizing in the results

sheet the accumulated interested according to the effective interest rate.

- Credits transacted in foreign currency are converted to Euros at the closing exchange rate.

- Commercial charges do not generate interest explicitly and are registered as nominal.

- Collateral collected: Collateral for operational leases and service provision. The diffe-

rence between their reasoned value and the disbursement amount is considered to

be payment ahead of time for the lease or service.

Criteria used in the release of financial assets and liabilities.The Entity applies the principles outlined in the General Accounting Plan to release

financial assets and liabilities.

A financial asset is released when, due to an operation’s economic circumstances,

there is a significant transfer or risks and benefits to owning the assets. In the cases in

which an asset is released, the difference between the net consideration received from

the costs attributable to the transaction and the measurable value of the asset will be

recorded in the profit and loss account.

Financial liabilities are released when the conditions that have created the liability

expire.

7) Credits not derived from activities:No credits not derived from activities.

8) Stock:Stock is valued at price of acquisition or cost of production. Corrective valuations have

not been made.


9) Transactions in foreign currency:Tangible and intangible fixed assets. The conversion to Euros is made by applying the

exchange rate valid for the day the asset is incorporated to the price paid for its acquisition.

The conversion to Euros for the payment of debt accrued in foreign currency is made

by applying the exchange rate valid for the day the operation is effected, generating a

positive or negative change in the figure which is calculated accordingly as revenue or

expenses. As of 31 December there is no debt in foreign currency.

10) Profit tax:No deferred-tax assets or liabilities due to the special fiscal regulations for non-

profit entities.

11) Revenue and expenses:The criteria for recording revenue and expenses follow the valuation rules establis-

hed within the conceptual framework of the General Accounting Plan approved by

Royal Decree 1515/2007.

12) Provisions and contingencies:No provisions and contingencies.

13) subsidies, donations and bequeathals:Assets received though subsidies, donations and bequeathals are appraised for their

taxable value or sale value, with the market value as the limit, as long as they are

considered non-reintegrable. If there are assignments for use, in addition to the valu-

es mentioned, the corrections established by the fiscal regulation (ITPIAJD/ISID) are

applied. They are accounted for as «Net assets» and are recorded as results as per the

depreciation of the asset received or the asset financed by the subsidies, donations

or bequeathals.

If an assignment is made for a concrete purpose, it is imputed as results as per the

purpose named, and in case there is no assignment made for a concrete purpose, it is

recorded as revenues for the period in which it is made.

ral Accounting Plan for non-profit entities as well as the budgetary information rules

for these entities are approved, have been duly applied.

As per article 9 of the Foundation Statutes, the budgetary model was generated in

accordance with the differentiation of ordinary revenue and expenses and other

revenue and expenses linked specifically to programs included in the Action Plan.

This model allows for direct control of the museum’s ordinary and general expen-

ses (which include the permanent collection), that are not imputable in any specific

action plan, as well as those expenses that are created by programmed activities

that are considered necessary to the best use of resources.

144 Economic memory 2009 | Administration Department - Economical information | 2009 annual financial report statement 145 Economic memory 2009 | Administration Department - Economical information | 2009 annual financial report statement


The budgeted revenue and expenses are imputed for each program in accordance

with a direct assessment of each accountable aspect.

Note 20. Information on budget liquidation

Parameters for compliance with the Action Plan: The Foundation for Es Baluard

Museum d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma, counted 325,239 visitors over the

course of the year 2009.

In conjunction with the conservation and display of the collection, in 2009, 40

works of art were acquired. There was one loan from the collection, a piece by

Joaquim Mir lent to Barcelona Caixa Forum and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao.

There were 8 temporary expositions during 2009.

The web page was visited 130,576 times.

In 2009, 8 museum publications were edited.

Approximately 11,972 people participated in the cultural and education activities

that took place.

The following comments are generated from the chart representing the liquidation

of the 2009 Yearly Budget:

The difference in functional operating expenses was only -0,78%, whereas revenue

from operating functions was 5,38% greater than expected.

The difference in revenue and expenses for funds operations are the product of a

reclassification of the current epigraphs, a reduction in treasury due to a decrease

in creditors, and an increase in debtors.
