Postcapital

For someone who was “born” in terms of cultural awareness long after The Wall fell (I still remember when the pop music magazine I used to read would distribute a “free piece of the wall” with an “authenticity certificate” among its readers), the feeling of visiting Postcapital exhibition, a physical and virtual project hosted by Palau de la Virreina (Barcelona, Spain) between April 12th and September 25th, is that of a Natural History Museum.
The postcapital concept has been developed by essayist and curator Iván de la Nuez to talk about the ensemble of phenomena regarding life after Communism and the decay of leftist ideologies that gave way to the omnipresence of Capitalism and its subsequent ravages.
