Frederic Amat’s Mural de les Olles is a public art installation on the façade of the Mercat de les Flors, in Montjuïc. Made up of around 1,500 ceramic vessels and jugs, it seems to burst from the wall like a vibrant stage set. Measuring 30 metres long and 17 metres high, it transforms the architecture into a wall in motion. Inaugurated in 2001, the work connects with the popular memory of everyday objects and the building’s performing-arts spirit.
This is good to know
The Mercat de les Flors is one of the major epicenters of contemporary dance in Barcelona. Amat’s work extends that performance spirit outward.
