Note to the 2nd edition

On the 25th of july ten years have passed since the opening ceremony of the mythic Olympic Games held in Barcelona in 1992. Apart from the
obvious relevance for the sports, this date represents a change in Barcelona’s cotidianity. Big economic inversions in infraestructural and urbanistical fields enerated the reconstruction of big areas in the city, as the Olympic Village and Vall Hebrón, the frontside recovery with the new Olympic Port, beaches, hotels... but one of the most ambicious project was the incorporation of a great number of public sculptures, the majority of wellknown artists from around the world, in differnet points of the city.
Ten years after this event, that put Barcelona on the world map, we propose a commemorative event:The Sculptoric Olympiade. Beginning on the 25th of july and for five days on, we will do five different routes in different parts of the city connecting the olympic sculptures in public spaces. The five circuits represent the five olympic rings, and each part of the city corresponds to a continent. The programme of this event will be published before, in order for the participants to choose the days, routes and disciplines to which they wish to assist. There will be no previous qualification. The event is open to anyone who’s interested in.
