Permanent collection: urban art in 7 rooms
BAS’s permanent display is its permanent collection. The route is divided into 7 themed rooms, like chapters of a single story, each with its own idea and artists. It is designed to create an experience that is both sensory and reflective, in dialogue with the visitor.
The 7 rooms explore irony and critique, perception and graphic language, the dialogue between tradition and the contemporary, symbolic imaginaries, matter and territory, creative play, and life and its traces.

Irony, critique and subversion

002
Perception, rhythm and graphic language
With Mina Hamada, Kenor and Felipe Pantone
Paintings that explore colour, geometry and rhythm as structures of perception and as tools for visual storytelling, creating dynamic compositions linked to abstraction, design and contemporary visual culture.
003
Dialogues between tradition and the contemporary
With Juanjo Surace and PichiAvo
Works that revive references from art history, myth or classical iconography to reinterpret them from a contemporary perspective.
004
Symbolic and metaphorical imaginaries
With Seth, Ledania, Charles Leval and Dran
Images that create symbols, metaphors and open narratives to build poetic worlds that stimulate the imagination and invite the viewer’s free interpretation.
005
Matter, memory and territory
With Vhils, Mike Swaney, Bordalo II and Sixe Paredes
Works that use materials, experimental processes and reused elements to reflect on time, territory and the memory held in matter.
006
Play as a creative drive
With Mike Swaney, OsGêmeos, Kamil Escruela, Javier Mariscal, Nami and Olaolu Slawn
Artistic practice is shaped by the impulse of play as a creative engine, unfolding scenes, words, icons and characters inspired by everyday life and urban and popular culture.
007
Life, trace and impact
With Rubén Martín, Sebas Velasco, Fátima de Juan and Bezt Etam
Representations that explore life, identity and memory through human traces and the influences of the social, urban and relational environment, whether explicit or suggested.
