The exhibition starts with an interrogation mark sculpted in steel, which goes straight to the heart of his work: sculpture as a questioning tool. Internationally known for his public installations, his work is present in different American, European, and Asian cities. For the first time in the history of the MACBA, an exhibition stretches outdoors to the interior courtyard, where two groups of sculptures have been installed: <i>The Heart of Trees <\/i>(2007) and <i>The Heart of Rivers<\/i> (2016). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As a counterpoint to the MACBA exhibition, the Museo National Centro de Arte Reina Sof\u00eda in Madrid is occupying the Cristal Palace with a group of three monumental steel mesh sculptures that create faces suspended in space. A beautiful play on transparencies takes place with the sites\u2019s architecture, entirely made of glass and steel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Next destination for Jaume Plensa\u2019s work: Moscow Museum of Modern Art (from June 11th to September 22nd, 2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/302235712?app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Jaume Plensa.
