French Version

This film presents Tadashi Kawamata‘s installation “Xiringuito” at the Can Xalant creative center in Mataró, Spain, in 2006. During a workshop with the artist, around twenty students from art and architecture schools in Barcelona spontaneously built a wood and metal structure in the middle of the art center’s courtyard after extensive exchanges of ideas and projects. Many participants shared their thoughts on this collective work and this new place for meeting and socializing.
