Ismael Smith i el Fons d’Armari
 
The project consists in a series of interventions at the National Museum revolving around the figure of Ismael Smith, a late-modern artist who was arrested and imprisoned after a series of scandals sparked by his nudist and sexual proclivities. The project analyses the conditions that determined Smith’s “closeting” in both bohemian circles and Modernista-Noucentista academe, which later endures in the discourse of the museum itself until its protest in the new presentation of modern art.
