In 2009, Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de
Palma, celebrated its fifth anniversary. The entire team made a
special effort to offer the kind of quality exposition and activi-
ties programmes deserved by this important commemoration
and all those who awaited it. Now, in this report, we recall all
the initiatives that took place in 2009: from the Anselm Kiefer
exhibition, whose opening marked the start of the fifth-anniver-
sary commemoration and drew more than 1700 attendees, to the
renewal of the permanent collection, including performances like
those by Lydia Lunch, Christina Rosenvinge, Eduard Escoffet and
the Au Ments company, without forgetting the great project ac-
complished by the education department with the programme
«Cartografiem-nos» and others for education and social inte-
gration. As I was saying, now is the moment to reflect upon
these efforts and recognize that they were not in vain. As such,
I would like these first lines to be ones of congratulations for
the team at the museum because I sincerely believe that we
achieved the quality that we aspired to. Moreover, I would like
to extend my special thanks to the great support of the general
public who demonstrated their interest in the museum.
At the beginning of 2009, a good portion of the museum’s col-
lection was removed from public exhibition for two purposes.
On one hand, the artistic department (together with the writer
of these words) needed time for a study of the works that
make up the Es Baluard art collection in light of proposed fu-
ture expositions, temporary viewings or selections. Each one
will be different, in order to offer the dynamism and wealth of
analysis that every art collection presents. On the other hand,
starting in January and for the next seven months, the muse-
um housed an exhibition that needed a lot of space: «Anselm
Kiefer. Works from the Grothe Collection». It was the German
artist’s first individual exposition in the Balearic Islands, dis-
playing some works that are considered to be the most rep-
resentative of his career. More than 43.000 people visited the
exposition. At the same time, two other exhibitions opened:
«Power Food», a project by Antoni Miralda and the FoodCultura
Museum Foundation; and «Robert Mapplethorpe», which con-
sisted of portraits, self-portraits, bodies and flowers, with a
selection of the most significant works by the photographer
from the United States.
The three exhibitions, in three separate spaces at the mu-
seum, generated great interest in Es Baluard—an interest that
was reflected on the pages of major national and internation-
al newspapers and journals. In addition, there were ten tem-
porary exhibitions during 2009. In addition to those already
mentioned, we must add (in order) «Under the Snow», pain-
tings by the great Russian artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov; an
homage to the centennial of the birth of the painter Juli Ramis
from Soller, for which an encounter was arranged with those
artists with whom he maintained friendship and other those
who left their mark on his work, through the exposition «Juli
Ramis visits Picasso, Marie Laurencin, Wifredo Lam, Archie
Gittes, Wols, Miró, Nicolas de Staël, Poliakoff, Fautrier, Masson»;
«Joan Cortés. Memory of Water» was the light, white proposal
for the Es Baluard Aljub by the Pollenca artist; this was fol-
lowed by a garden of light, the immense «Garden of Eden#2»,
by the Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos, also housed in the
historical collection.
of programming around «Power Food», for which, in addition
to conferences on nutrition and rondalles, Gaspar Caballero
came from Segovia to teach a course on organic horticulture;
and even the youngest tykes learned to prepare creative reci-
pes with the help of the artist Neus Marroig. Moreover, the
annual «Llunes d’Es Baluard» programme brought together
3.000 people on Fridays in July on the museum’s terrace for
great acts of sound poetry and performances whose common
theme was words.
To finish this undoubtedly limited review of the activities
undertaken this year, I would like to highlight the initiatives
aimed at visitors’ loyalty. With this in mind, we integrated the
special «Tu decideixes» admission rate into «Llunes d’Es Balu-
ard» programme. Set at the end of 2008, the rate allows visi-
tors on Friday to pay what they wish and enjoy Es Baluard for
as little as 0,10 euro. We extended the museum’s hours to stay
open until midnight every Friday in July and August. Like-
wise, in order to promote more sustainable transportation in
the city and support the opening of the city’s new bike lanes,
Es Baluard created bicycle parking in the central patio and
established «Si véns en bici», a new 2 euro admission rate.
Also in 2009, we worked on the design of a new, more inter-
active and innovative website that will be ready in just a few
weeks. Truly, the most important step towards promoting ties
between visitors and others interested in Es Baluard were the
efforts made to create a social network through the use of
platforms like Facebook, Tuenti and Twitter, the success of
which has allowed for notably increased abilities to gather
people together, transmit information and exchange opinions.
I wrote in the 2008 annual review that we at Es Baluard needed
to promote «a new dynamic oriented towards increasing com-
munication with the public so that the museum can be un-
derstood and appreciated as the public institution it is, in
addition to promote an opening up to new horizons beyond
the Balearic Islands through the collaboration with museums
and art centres on the front lines of the international map». I
believe that in this short period of time, to the best of our abil-
ity and fully aware that everything can be improved, in the
year 2009 we have created a social network for Es Baluard,
one that makes possible new participation by the public, new
collectionists, private companies and other institutions will-
ing to collaborate on different projects. I can’t neglect to men-
tion the generous support from Bancaja, Air Europa, Caja del
Mediterráneo (CAM), Obra Social Sa Nostra, Fundació IBIT,
MENU, Secretary of Tourism of City Hall of Palma, Horrach
Moyà Hotels and Poraxa, to whom Es Baluard owes a deep
thanks for their contributions. Likewise, we hold in high es-
teem the involvement of museums and art centres that form
an ever-growing and better-connected network, as well as the
participation of media, newspapers and specialized journals
that have spread the word about the museum’s initiatives.
So then, I would like to thank each and every one of you,
because in 2009—the fifth anniversary of Es Baluard Museu
d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma—we took one more
step, and a very important one, towards the excellence we
strive for and towards the unification of a museum that is
just starting out and that, together, we help to develop and
improve year after year.

Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma
In conjunction with the celebration of Art at Night, the major-
ity of the exposition space at the museum featured the perma-
nent collection by way of «Crossing Landscapes: A Look at the
Es Baluard Collection». The exposition joined together artists
that spanned distant periods, diverse attitudes regarding their
own works, and different observations on individuality and
collectivity; its opening marked the beginning of a collection
of publications that feature works from the Es Baluard col-
lection and highlights (as evidenced in the nature of the se-
ries) the diverse views an art collection offers. The collection
grew substantially in 2009, thanks to the acquisition of 40
works—among them are paintings signed by Amador, Broto,
Carbonero, Mònica Fuster, García Sevilla, Sicilia and Uslé;
sculptures by José Bechara, Daniel Chust Peters, Pep Llambias,
David Nash and Jorge Mayet, an installation by Tim Noble
& Sue Webster and photographs by Rafael Agredano, Helena
Almeida, Per Barclay, Joan Ramon Bonet, Pepe Cañabate, Joan
Fontcuberta, Alberto García-Alix, Pierre Gonnord, Dionisio
González, Alfredo Jaar, Joan Morey and Eulàlia Valldosera.
That said, new acquisitions were not the only source of
new additions to Es Baluard. Collaborations with collection-
ists from or related to the Balearic Islands and the trust they
placed in the museum led to an increase in the temporary
loans from three private collections of such important works
as three paintings and a sculpture by Anselm Kiefer (prop-
erty of the Grothe collection), two paintings by Imi Knoebel,
Jim Bird and Ramon Canet; one each by Luis Gordillo, Gunter
Forg, Helmut Dorner, Ciria, Peter Zimmermann, Rafa Forteza,
Horacio Sapere; a sculpture by Anthony Caro and 29 ink
drawings by Antoni Marí Ribas Portmany. With these words,
I can only extend my deepest thanks for the generous contri-
butions by these collections, the majority of which choose to
remain anonymous.
Before 2009 began, Es Baluard proposed the enhancement
of collaborations with museums and art centres from dif-
ferent cities across the world, not only for the profitability
of its projects but also and mainly as a way to promote the
museum and establish and strengthen its national and in-
ternational ties. Thus, we worked with the MKM museum
in Duisburg and the Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur in Bonn
(Germany) on the organization of the Anselm Kiefer exposition;
we co-produced the Antoni Miralda exposition with Artium in
Vitoria; after its exhibition at Es Baluard, Robert Mapplethorpe’s
work travelled to the TC3 Building in Slovenia and the CAC in
Málaga; Ilya and Emilia Kabakov’s exhibition was made in con-
junction with the CAC in Málaga, the Sara Hildénin Taidemuseo
in Tampere (Finland) and the Museum am Ostwall in Dortmund,
while Joana Vasconcelos’ installation was subsequently shown
(2010) at the Centro Cultural de Belém, Museu Colecção Berardo
in Lisboa. As for educational programming, it is important to
note the collaboration that Es Baluard established within the
Euroregion through Centre d’Art la Panera in Lleida, CDAN in
Huesca and Le CRAC (Sète, France), as well as programmes
oriented towards special education and hospital environ-
ments wherein work was done with people with mental ill-
nesses. These experiences will continue throughout 2010 and
into the future.
The documentation following in this report attests to the
achievement of Es Baluard’s goal to connect expositions with
a majority of the museum’s activities, from educational ac-
tivities to all types of initiatives aimed at diverse audiences.
For this purpose, the Cultural Action department organised
conference series and dialogues with important specialists
on Anselm Kiefer’s work, a Neuer Deutscher Film series, and
dance and theatre performances associated with the German
artist’s painting and philosophy. Also, there was a full range

Art Department
The Art Department’s main goals are to conserve, research and disseminate the permanent collection and develop a temporary exhibition programme that strikes a balance between disseminating the museum’s own collection, promoting Balearic artists by framing them within the international context and introducing the Balearic community to works by great modern and contemporary artists.

«Anselm Kiefer. Works from the Grothe Collection»
With «Anselm Kiefer. Works from the Grothe collection»,
the first individual and retrospective exhibition of the artist
in the Balearic Islands, Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern
i Contemporani de Palma celebrated its fifth anniversary.
The exhibition was co-organized with Bancaja and curated
by Walter Smerling, president of the Stiftung für Kunst und
Kultur in Bonn, and presented carefully selected works
created by the artist between the beginning of the 1980s
and today. They were in immense format and were very
significant works in Anselm Kiefer’s career, as well as being a
worldwide reference point for the investigation and conquest
of new forms of expression for interpreting the world and an
immersion in the sources of knowledge.
«Anselm Kiefer. Works from the Grothe collection» presented
a different view of the work of this German artist, who
was born in 1945 in Donaueschingen and now resides in
France. He is interested in retrieving the historical memory
of his country -the dramas and consequences of the Second
World War-, as well as in Kabbalah, Judeo-Christianity and
mythology, among other subjects that allow him to enter into
their inner world through metaphors, allegories and frequent
literary references to Paul Celan, Ingeborg Bachmann, Goethe,
Heidegger, etc. Kiefer’s works interrogate the observer, they
make one question the past, present and also the future
through the paintings, as the drama, the questions and the
provocation arise from the heart of the painting. In the words
of Walter Smerling, «Kiefer’s work is a continuous challenge
to the senses and the spirit».

«Power Food». Miralda-FoodCulturaMuseum
«Power Food» was the vigorous title of the Project created by
Miralda-FoodCulturaMuseum, which offered a very personal
view of food and nutrition culture. Since years ago the
FoodCultura team led by the artist has worked at developing
this poetic and powerful view of food in a universal
anthropological environment. The exhibition proposed
a network of connections linking food to energy and to
medicine, as well as to rituals, tradition, beliefs and popular
culture. It analyzed the relationships that are established
between this basic need and the control, marketing, and
representations of power. It therefore offered a look at one of
the main driving forces of our culture, our economy, and our
social relations.
The aphrodisiac values associated with armadillo meat have
survived until the present day, now attached to viagra. Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde appeared side by side with witches
and with Popeye’s spinach, which became a legend of child
nutrition thanks to a typographic error on the amount of
iron that it contained. All of these elements are paradigmatic
of many common customs, representations and beliefs in
contemporary culture. They were illustrated with projections,
posters, recipes, and advertising slogans, as well as a range
of containers that formally represent the powers of the
product that they contain: bottles and other recipients that are
anthropomorphic or include religious imagery, phallus shaped
decanters, all representing a direct transformation of food into
concepts within our culture. Lively colours, a popular kitsch
aesthetic, and the deployment of codes of seduction, tie the
object to health or to success in social relationships, while
transported us from fascination, to recognition or surprise.
Powerfood. Lexicom
Authors: D.A.ISBN: 978-84-612-7214-3586 pages28 x 13.5 cm.Languages: Catalan, Spanish, English and German
This is more like a book on food culture than a conventional exhibition catalogue. Compiled by Antoni Miralda, the exhibition’s creator and artist, and FoodCulturaMuseum, the book introduces fifty concepts that spark reflection on the connections between food/culture and energy/power, accompanied by images that are not intended to illustrate the texts, but rather provide a cross-sectional view. The catalogue also includes articles by 46 experts on these issues.

«Studio: Mallorca and the renovation of landscape painting»
In the early twentieth century, Catalonia and the Balearic
Islands prompted the renovation of the landscape genre in
Spain. With the arrival of the new century, Mallorca became
a destination for writers and artists who found a response to
their concerns on the island.
In addition to Belgian William Degouve de Nuncques, Catalan
painters Santiago Rusiñol and Joaquim Mir were the architects
of the introduction of Modernism and Symbolism, currents
that embodied a reaction against academic painting by
using Impressionist and post-Impressionist elements. After
settling in Mallorca, they forged friendships and shared
experiences with island artists such as Antoni Gelabert,
who was infected by their innovative spirit and developed
a personal and synthetist perspective of landscape painting.
Within a few years, the torch was passed to Hermen Anglada-
Camarasa and his disciples - one of whom was the Argentinian
Tito Cittadini - who had all settled on the island, which they
turned into a source of inspiration. In a brief, yet noteworthy
stay, Valencian artist Joaquín Sorolla found peace and quiet in
Mallorca and gave in to the North Coast’s bewitching beauty.
Key painters in the history of Spanish landscape painting were
on display at Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani
de Palma through its Collection, offering a genuine, innovative
look in their day at Mallorcan landscape.

«Robert Mapplethorpe»
Through his photographs, Robert Mapplethorpe managed
to break through sexual, racial, gender and religious
prejudices and become a mythological figure in the
American homosexual revolution of the 1970s and 80s. As
a mainly studio photographer, he was greatly concerned
with aesthetics. He was man whose steadfast objective
was the quest for emanating beauty or that which could be
discovered in animate and inanimate bodies. He controlled
his compositions to the millimetre –the proportions, the
balance, the focus, the black and white, the shade and light,
the body postures, the attitude, the skin textures- everything
that had to be in the photograph and everything that had to
be left out.
A photographer of classical subjects in search of perfection,
a revolutionary in the socio-political context in which he was
destined to live, Mapplethorpe, through the way he looked at and
interpreted the form and, among other aspects, also for making
his body of work into a kind of diary of his own experiences
and demands, is one of the great precursors of the artistic
photography that dominates the contemporary proposal.
To coincide with the twentieth anniversary of Robert
Mapplethorpe’s death in New York on 9 March 1989, Es
Baluard presented for the first time in the Balearic Islands a
wide-ranging retrospective exhibition of photographs created
between 1975 and 1989, with a representation of the main
themes of the artist’s work – self-portraits, male and female
nudes, portraits of famous people (Andy Warhol, Louise
Bourgeois, Patti Smith, Grace Jones, etc.) and photographs of
flowers, statues and sex scenes.

Ilya & Emilia Kabakov. «Under the snow»
Ilya Kabakov, born September 1933, and Emilia Kabakov,
born December 1945, both in Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine), are
two of the most internationally important husband-and-wife
artists to emerge from the former Soviet Union. Ilya Kabakov,
considered the father of Russian conceptual art, trained at the
Surikov Art Academy and worked in Moscow from the 1950s
until the end of the 80s. Emilia has worked since 1975 as an
exhibition organiser and art dealer, and has collaborated with
Ilya since 1989.
Over more than four decades they have created a large body
of paintings, drawings, installations and theoretical texts,
many of which evoke the visual culture of the Soviet Union.
Unlike other underground Russian artists, Ilya Kabakov
joined the Union of Soviet Artists in 1959 and became a full
member in 1965. Despite his position as an «official artist», he
also worked on his own projects, which became increasingly
experimental in the 1960s and conceptual in the 70s. He
became an important figure in the circle of dissident artists.
He lived in Russia until 1987. In 1992 he moved with his wife
Emilia to New York. Today, he lives and works on Long Island.
This exhibition in Es Baluard was the first time work by
the Kabakovs had been shown in the Balearic Islands. It
was made up of large-format paintings and drawings from
the Under the Snow series created between 2004 and 2006.
Although he has mainly focused on installations since the
1990s, Kabakov returned with vigour to painting, which
he had never really left since he began in 1956. And he did
this with works that remind you of the small windows of
landscape that you can see between the clouds when you
are travelling by plane, or those holes in the snow through
which you can see fragments of the earth. Social analysis,
incitement to reflection, Kabakov explains the birth and the
decline of the Soviet Union, while alluding to the «defrosting»
that occurred during the destalinisation or Khrushchev
period, as a mosaic of fragments and memories that bring
together history, landscape painting and abstraction.

«Juli Ramis visits Picasso, Marie Laurencin, Wifredo Lam, Wols, Archie Gittes, Joan Miró, André Masson, Nicolas de Staël, Poliakoff, Fautrier»
On the centenary of the birth of Juli Ramis (Sóller 1909 –
Palma 1990), Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani
de Palma payed homage to this artist who manifested a
constant desire to investigate languages and search for the
perspectives of modernity itself. «Juli Ramis visits Picasso,
Marie Laurencin, Wifredo Lam, Wols, Archie Gittes, Joan
Miró, André Masson, Nicolas de Staël, Poliakoff, Fautrier»
was an exhibition that aimed to reveal the restlessness that
motivated the painter from Sóller, the restlessness that led
him to leave his island, to look far and high, the restlessness
that brought him into contact with the members of the avant-
garde movement and to study them in depth in order to forge
his own language.
The objective of the exhibition, which was organised by Marta
Sierra, was to contextualise the figure of Ramis by visiting the
work of the ten mentioned artists, with whom he had a truly
enriching personal relationship, above all from the artistic
point of view, as, in one way or another, they left a more or
less profound mark on his work or they opened the doors
to other relationships, to the knowledge of other languages,
or to other paths to follow. «Juli Ramis visits Picasso, Marie
Laurencin, Wifredo Lam, Wols, Archie Gittes, Joan Miró,
André Masson, Nicolas de Staël, Poliakoff, Fautrier» aimed
to be a reunion that allowed us, with the passing of time and
through this expositive reading, to analyse the importance
of Juli Ramis’ work in a context of a very distant modernity,
although one that was advanced for the time and the society
of the island on which he was born.

Joan Cortés. «Memory of Water»
Of the sculptors working in the Balearic Islands, Joan Cortés
(born in Pollença, Mallorca in 1964) is possibly the best
known and also has one of the most distinctive sculptural
languages. He returned to the historical origins of the Aljub
with «Memory of Water», a sculpture-installation specially
created for this space in the Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern
i Contemporani de Palma. It prompted a dialogue between
the antiquity of the ancient reservoir and a work of art that
transpired absolute contemporaneity.
«Memory of Water», the material, the colour, the form and the
composition contributed to the description of the sculpture
that Joan Cortés was working on for the past decades: the
delicateness that was manifested not only in the treatment of
the pieces that make up the work, but also in the way some
of the forms had of embracing the others to create new forms
and made us feel the combined vibration; the fragility, as a
characteristic, not so much physical, but of feelings; it gave a
very particular feeling of accumulation, an accumulation that
had nothing to do with Barroquism, but rather with maximum
purification, the minimum amount of gestures, the essential
elements. It is the diversity that repetition can offer when the
artist has a command over the codes of composition, and
the lightness of that which appears to be weightless, of that
which offers the sensation of separating itself from the earth
and rising, as the things of the soul or the things that emerge
from the soul rise, and going directly to it.
Joan Cortés not abandoned any of the connotations of his
sculpture. The white of practically all his works was also the
source of light in «Memory of Water»; a white landscape that,
given the succession of straight and curved plains of great
gentleness and great sensuality, created effects of light and
shade that naturally contributed to a final modelling of the
forms. It was the artist’s own poetry, a white poetry, subtle
and captivating, that, from its diaphanous spirit, proffered a
feeling of wellbeing, interior peace and a silence that never
disturbed.

«Crossed Landscapes. Looks at the Es Baluard Collection»
«Crossed Landscapes» marked the start of «Looks at the Es
Baluard Collection», a series of reviews, tours or observations
from various perspectives of the collection of works in Es
Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma’s
care. However, this show had a precedent between September
2008 and January 2009, the «80s and drifting» that signalled
back then the museum’s desire to offer partial studies of its
permanent collection in the form of temporary exhibitions,
views from experts on the museum’s own staff and external
experts who gave and will give in the future all its visitors
the chance to get to know the wealth and the capacity for
multiple readings that the collection of a museum such as
this encompasses.
With the breadth offered by the concept of landscape
painting, understood as a space of observation from different
perspectives, «Crossed Landscapes. Looks at the Es Baluard
Collection» set aside linear knowledge and abstained from all
chronology to present a new view of Es Baluard’s permanent
collection, a selection of which was divided into three areas
that highlighted the coexistence and dialogue between artistic
stances that at first were or might seem divergent. Comparisons
between languages, styles and artists or between the past
and present intersected at «Modernism and Postmodernism»,
«Poetics and Construction» and «The Individual and
Collectivity», three areas of crisscrossing lines, yet also full of
points of convergence or meeting points at junctures.
The exhibition, which occupied a large part of the ground
and first floors, encompassed some 65 works by 40 artists,
most of which belonged to Es Baluard’s own collection, in
addition to works on temporary loan to the Museum from
institutions, companies and private collectors. Many of the
works in «Crossed Landscapes» had never been on display at
Es Baluard before, either because they were among the works
acquired by the Museum during the last months of 2008
and in 2009 or because they were new loans from private
collections.
Divided into three different areas, «Crossed Landscapes.
Looks at the Es Baluard Collection» included works by Marina
Abramovic, Helena Almeida, Anglada Camarasa, Miquel
Barceló, Per Barclay, Boltanski, Joan Ramon Bonet, Broto,
Campano, Ramon Canet, Pepe Cañabate, Maria Carbonero,
Anthony Caro, Toni Catany, Ñaco Fabré, Alberto García-Alix,
Antoni Gelabert, Luis Gordillo, Rebecca Horn, Alfredo Jaar,
Pierre Gonnord, Kiefer, Imi Knoebel, Jason Martin, Joaquim
Mir, Joan Morey, Santiago Rusiñol, Sicilia, Sorolla and Uslé,
among others.
Furthermore, «Crossed Landscapes» brought with it the
launch of a series of publications called «Looks at the Es
Baluard Collection», which bears witness to the multiple and
diverse perspectives from which the works in the Es Baluard
collection can be viewed.

«Garden of Eden #2». Joana Vasconcelos
The installation «Garden of Eden #2», specially created for Es
Baluard’s Aljub by Joana Vasconcelos (b. Paris, 1971), presented
itself as the «negative» of the classical idea of a garden. The
obvious artificiality of the flowers, their powerful luminous
attraction on being shown in dark interior spaces and the
need for a supply of electricity, transported the spectator to an
illusory sensation highlighted by the movement and the noise
of the motors. It was a complete paradox that, on the other
hand, achieved the same level of seduction as a sun-soaked
natural garden at its maximum splendour.
Joana Vasconcelos, conscious of the fact that a garden is a
human construction, a manipulation of nature for a dream or
for individual or collective enjoyment, built this garden with
considerable irony. In a continuous transfer, the artist, who
was born in Paris but is to all intents and purposes Portuguese,
time after time appropriates common objects to turn them
into something extraordinary, she appropriates things that
live in everyday life to lead them to a magic world capable of
generating illusions and creating dreams, and she appropriates
that which is markedly banal to bestow it with a transcendence
in the field of conceptual as well as objectual artistic expression.
For the first time in the Balearic Islands, Joana Vasconcelos,
one of the most solid young artists with considerable strength
and recognition on the international stage, created a work
specifically for a historical setting. However, «Garden of Eden #2» transcended its installation in Es Baluard’s Aljub, as it was
part of a large-scale project in the career of this Portuguese
artist. It was the second work in a series that began in 2007
in the New Art Gallery Walsall (United Kingdom) and which,
after being exhibited in Palma, become part of a major
retrospective exhibition that the Belém Cultural Centre in
Lisbon dedicate to the work of Joana Vasconcelos.

Joana Vasconcelos, a Portuguese artist with a long-standing career, created a work specifically for The Aljub in Es Baluard: «Garden of Eden #2», a vast, colourful, light-filled garden that breaks with any idea of a natural garden. The catalogue contains essays by Jorge Lima Barreto and Cristina Ros, in addition to images from the installation taken by Agustin Torres.

«Família! El dissabte va d’art» From 11.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. on Saturday mornings, we offer
family workshops in which children and parents engage in
creative work together. The activity is divided into two parts:
the first for observation and the second a hands-on part in
the workshop.
We continue to run our workshops for children 6 to 12 years
old and encouraged by last season’s success, we are once
again scheduling workshops for the family’s youngest mem-
bers: children 3 to 5 years old. Children must be accompanied
by an adult in all our workshops.

Ingredients and mixing procedures are the foundations for
creating a good recipe. Using Antoni Miralda’s «Power Food»
exhibition as a springboard, this workshop proposed a tour of
a range of different foods, as well as the rituals and relation-
ships that come with it: cooking, eating, abundance, scarcity
and health. The recipes and preparations were the starting
point for creative reflection on the contemporary food and
eating culture.

Project: Txell Cisa
Since time immemorial, humans have used architecture to de-
fine the physical limits of materials and the vastness of space.
To protect themselves from pirates, the citizens of Palma
erected a sturdy wall during the Renaissance that can still be
seen, touched and felt surrounding the museum today. This
workshop’s objective was to inform participants about the
wall and its function through a number of different activities
and the construction a 5 m2 replica of this ancient structure.

Project: Carles Gispert
After five years of offering the «Família, el dissabte va d’art!»
programme for families with children 6 to 12 years old, we
were aware that many of these children had grown and need-
ed another kind of offer from the museum. These first work-
shops for young people were planned with this intention and
these children in mind.
Artist Carles Gispert proposed taking risks with contemporary
art. The participants used the electronic devices on hand (MP3
player, video camera or mobile phone, camera, video camera,
etc.) to join Gispert and enter the world of contemporary art
through discussion and criticism, but especially through cre-
ative experimentation, enjoyment and a fun-filled spirit.
The workshop’s objectives were:
- To make use of consumption technologies in an aware and
critical manner.
- To work on observation, the critical eye, details, everyday
things, the poetry of simple things.
- To show work methods for finding stories or narratives.
14 participants (the workshop’s total capacity)
Young people workshop, «N-REGISTRA»
Es Baluard’s school programme aims to use contemporary art (the
museum collection and temporary exhibitions) to engage students
in appealing, participative and critical work and help them reflect
on the world around us. Students’ and teachers’ voices are always
heard and heeded as vehicles of content; the work is based on
visual culture and content from the arts education area and com-
mitted to interdisciplinarity and cross-sectional content.
The museum, its collection and temporary exhibitions are the
springboard for the work; a specific programme is designed
and offered for each exhibition. The offer is wide-ranging,
adapted to each level or cycle and framed within the cor-
responding curriculum in each particular case. Our work is
committed to inclusion and integration; thus, we place a spe-
cial emphasis on designing programmes in which students
with special educational needs can participate.
These activities are part of the Palma Municipal Council’s
«Palma, ciutat educativa» programme and are free of charge.
Our offer distinguishes between guided tours of the museum
and studio workshop tours.

«Guaita! Hi ha un museu dins les murades»A tour conceived and designed for pre-school children 3 to 5
years old.
We approach contemporary art, the museum space and its
surroundings through the senses and the body while working
on shapes, colours and materials.
The tour was redesigned to work on the different exhibitions
held during the year: «Animar.te, 20 years of computer ani-
mation at the UIB», «Anselm Kiefer. Works from the Grothe
Collection», «Power Food» and «Crossed Landscapes».
2,070 students
«Es Baluard, un gran racó de ciutat»This tour is for students in primary school, compulsory sec-
ondary school, the baccalaureate programme, vocational
training or adult education, among others.
It is a general tour that provides an introduction to the mu-
seum, its surroundings, the collection and the different tem-
porary exhibitions held throughout the year and includes con-
tent, activities and materials tailored to each level.
4,371 students
Guided tours The purpose of these tours is to forge initial links with the mu-
seum and contemporary art on the basis of the collection and
temporary exhibitions. Different tours with a variety of activi-
ties tailored to visiting students’ levels or cycles are offered.
Tour. «Power Food»
«Es Baluard, un gran racó de ciutat»«Guaita! Hi ha un museu dins les murades»
These tours have a different dynamic than guided tours. There
is one part for observation and reflection in front of works in
the museum galleries and another part for hands-on plastic
work in the studio workshops during which the students work
on and reinforce the concepts introduced during the tour.
The springboard for these visits is a central point of interest
that may be either an aspect of the museum’s permanent
collection or a temporary exhibition, depending on the mu-
seum’s programme.
This type of tour is intended to go beyond the museum di-
mension and involves on-going work with schools before and
after the tour, which requires collaboration among participat-
ing teachers and the museum’s Education Department.
Primary school workshop tour «Diverteix-te amb l’art» Es Baluard arranges different kinds of workshops for each ex-
hibition, given the large differences between primary school
cycles: there is one workshop for the first and second cycles of
primary education and another for the third cycle.
1,301 students
The different workshop tours for primary school offered in
2009 were:
THE STOP MOTION TECHNIQUE WORKSHOPIn January, all the primary school cycles were offered a techni-
cal workshop on stop motion led by the professionals from the
LADAT-UIB, which was based on the «Animar.te, 20 years of
computer animation at the UIB». Students learned how to make
a brief animated work using this technique during the workshop.
THE «KIEFER» WORKSHOPThe children based the workshop on a selection of works
from the temporary exhibition entitled «Anselm Kiefer. Works
from the Grothe Collection», while studying the topic of indi-
vidual and collective memory. The visit began with a studio
workshop activity which was carried out using the children’s
own objects in the museum, which later helped them deci-
pher Kiefer’s works.
THE «POWER FOOD» WORKSHOPUsing objects and images from the exhibition, the children
reflected on the customs and rituals of eating at home, how
they eat, why, with whom, how visual culture shows food
and the importance it has in the international arena.
The children were engaged in working on themselves, their bod-
ies, experiences and expertise throughout the entire workshop.
The activities varied according to cycle, so while the first and
second cycle created a recipe for a magic potion and brewed
it after visiting the exhibition, the third cycle divided in two
groups, the first of which worked on imagery and popular
mythology and the second of which worked on the everyday
world on the basis of news in the media.
THE «CROSSED LANDSCAPES» WORKSHOP The starting point of this activity was the museum terraces
and the «Crossed Landscapes» exhibition. From the vantage
point of the children’s everyday world, we reflected on what
they understood as landscape, which landscapes they are fa-
miliar with, which they would like to visit, where they would
like to live and how they can intervene or improve the land-
scape closest to them.
The workshop’s objective was to work on landscape in a
broad sense, not only as a pictorial genre, but also as the en-
vironment around us, something that is somehow a part of us
and defines and shapes us. The activities differed according to
the participating primary school cycle.

The secondary school «Opina, no et tallis!» workshop tourbased on hands-on activities in the museum galleries and the
context of visual culture, this workshop helps teenagers learn
how to interpret, respect and evaluate both the museum as
well as contemporary art and the world that surrounds them
in a critical spirit.
This was a two-part activity involving a tour and a practical
workshop.
During January, the workshops were based on the «Animar.te,
20 years of computer animation at the UIB» exhibition and
led by professionals from the LADAT-UIB. Secondary school
students learnt how to make a brief animated work using the
stop camera technique. Later work was based on the «Power
Food» exhibition in which students toured the exhibition and
then used the concepts to design a new exhibition tour or a
visual or verbal intervention in the galleries. Work during the
first quarter of 2009-10 revolved around «The Individual and
Collectivity» gallery of the «Crossed Landscapes » exhibition.

«Cartografiem-nos» is a long-term, interdisciplinary, cross-section-
al project for third-cycle primary school students that reflects on
the territory using tools provided by contemporary art practices.
This project aims to develop a critical view of the natural
or urban environment by working on the neighbourhood in
which schools are located without overlooking the people
who live there. Landscape is approached in a broad sense, not
only as a pictorial genre, but also as the environment around
us that is somehow a part of us. We need to investigate neigh-
bourhoods by emphasising change and difference: the oldest
residents and newcomers as well, the past, the present and
the future.
This research is embodied in a work executed in a fully
contemporary language, a map that reflects on a neighbour-
hood’s other realities, the one children view as important, the
things that have changed, the things they wish to denounce.
In short, the children, their educators and those who believe
in this new cartography are the protagonists. Together an
exhibition is created in the museum that displays the works
by the participating school after first being exhibited in the
neighbourhood where the school is located.
A total of approximately 55 4th-and 5th-grade primary students
from the Lycée Français de Palma took part in the project
in 2008-2009.

«Cartografiem-nos». Exhibition at Es Baluard Project structurePrevious work in school
The children engaged in research on their environment and
conducted interviews with people close to them who had
long been familiar with the neighbourhood - grandparents,
older teachers, shopkeepers – as well as with newcomers and
new neighbours, etc.. In addition, they took photographs and
made drawings of what was significant to them about their
surroundings and compiled objects that established emotion-
al bonds between them and their neighbourhood.
Tour of Es Baluard
Using the museum’s terraces as a starting point, participants
took advantage of Es Baluard de Sant Pere’s own history to re-
flect on the concept of landscape, the subjectivity of the gaze,
the changes the landscape has undergone and the stakehold-
ers in these transformations.
In the museum galleries, the participants worked on landscape
as a cultural fact, its importance, how it changes and how these
changes affect us. These reflections were documented by art-
works on the territory created by contemporary artists.
Hands-on work in the museum’s studio workshop space
In the museum’s workshops, the work was based on reflec-
tions stimulated by the galleries, examples of contemporary
artists and especially documentation on the neighbourhood
and work done previously at school that the students brought
with them. An outline of the project is created at this point
that will be executed in school at a later date.
Creating the project in the classroom
The final project is executed at school with the support and
follow-up of the museum’s team of educators and the involve-
ment of the schoolteachers. However, the project does not end
until the work is exhibited in a space in the neighbourhood.
Exhibiting the work in the neighbourhood and at Es Baluard
Exhibiting is indispensable in achieving the project’s objec-
tives and bringing it to a close. The finished work returns to
the neighbourhood; friends and neighbours see the finished
results based on their contributions, the children infuse their
work with meaning, and lastly, Es Baluard hosts an exhibition
in which the pieces are treated with the same sensitivity as
that afforded to works of art and the entire process and docu-
mentation generated are also on display.
The result of the entire work accomplished jointly by the mu-
seum’s team of educators and the Lycée Français de Palma
was displayed in an exhibition first held at the Casal del Barri
del Terreno (June 5-12, 2009) and later at Es Baluard (June,
23-28 2009). The students entitled the exhibition «Onerret. A
different look at the el Terreno neighborhood».

Meetings for teachersWe are in contact and arrange meetings with teachers from all the groups who tour
the museum during the school year.
In these meetings, teachers are given the classroom material they need to prepare
museum tours, while they engage in an exchange of views with the museum’s
team of educators, which helps make tours successful experiences and achieve the
established objectives.
Agreement with the University of the Balearic Is-landsOn May 26, 2009, a collaboration agreement was signed between Fundació Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma and the University of the Balearic Islands.
The collaboration was established between the museum’s Cultural Dissemination
Department and the Faculty of Education’s Research Group on Diversity and Inclu-
sion in Schools (GREID) in order to initiate joint work to make tours and workshops
accessible to any visiting students with a disability or mental disorder.
Support by “SA NOSTRA”On August 20, 2009 a collaboration agreement was signed with Obra Social “SA NOSTRA” for its Foundation to work with Es Baluard by supporting all its education programme activities from the 2009-2010 academic year onward.
2009 Educational Activities FairAfter the agreement was signed and as a first collaborative act, Es Baluard con-
tributed to the Educational Activities Fair organised by Obra Social “SA NOSTRA”
on September 4, 5 and 6, 2009 with a workshop entitled «Fes una mirada a la
col·lecció d’Es Baluard».

«Exchange network among special education program-mes sponsored by contemporary art centres in the Pyre-nees-Mediterranean Euroregion»
This project, which was launched in 2008 and developed in
2009, is being promoted by Centre d’Art la Panera in Lleida
in order to establish an exchange network among the edu-
cation departments of four museums belonging to the Pyr-
enees-Mediterranean Euroregion programme: la Panera in
Lleida, the Centre for Art and Nature (CDAN) of Huesca, Centre
Regional d’Art Contemporain Languedoc-Roussillon in Sète
(France) and Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani
de Palma. The topic of study was special education, specifi-
cally groups with intellectual disabilities and serious mental
disorders, and the aim was to improve the quality of attention
to these groups by the education departments of participating
institutions.
In order to train educators from the schools taking part in the
project to care for these groups, courses were organised at
each of the centres involved. In November 2008, courses were
held at la Panera and the CDAN.
The training course at Es Baluard took place on February 11, 12 and 13, 2009. The workshops combined meetings with differ-
ent groups of special education professionals and school tours.
Participants toured the following schools: Gaspar Hauser, the
Balearic Association of Parents of Autistic Children, AMADIP,
ESMENT and Gesma (Palma Psychiatric Hospital).
In addition to the tours, the following colloquies were held:
- «Autism spectrum disorder: knowing, understanding and par-
ticipating through art». Members of the Gaspar Hauser school.
- The Gira-sol Mallorcan Mental Health Association.
- «Accessible museums for all». Joan Jordi Muntaner, professor
in the UIB’s Department of Didactics and School Organisation
and lead researcher of the UIB’s Research Group on Diversity
and Inclusion in Schools (GREID).
A number of professionals in the special education field gath-
ered for a round table discussion during a workshop to ex-
change views, establish schools’ operational structures and
discuss different issues as the springboard for their joint work.
The training course at Le CRAC (Centre Regional d’Art Con-
temporain Languedoc-Roussillon) took place on March 2, 3 and 4, 2009.
The results of this research study conducted jointly by the
four art centres were made public during a lecture at the Sec-ond Contemporary Art and Special Education Seminar organised by the Centre d’Art la Panera in Lleida on June 12 and 13, 2009 to which experts in the field of contemporary
culture currently working in special education were invited.
«Contemporary art and hospitals»Encouraged by the success of the first Euroregion project, the
team of educators from Centre d’Art la Panera in Lleida, CDAN
in Huesca and Es Baluard continue to work on the network.
In October, we started a new project called «Contemporary
Art and Hospitals» in order to bring together contemporary
works of art and art centres into the world of hospitals.
The first of two training courses was held in Aix-en-Provence
from November 29 to December 1, 2009 as an introduction to
the French «Culture in hospitals» model and the 3BisF Association
experience. The second training course took place on December 14 and 15, 2009 at Centre d’Art la Panera in Lleida and was
attended by numerous professionals in the fields of contemporary
art and health care who are working along these lines.
At the same time, the art centres set in motion the nego-
tiations needed to hold the workshops with the respective
health institutions.
Two workshops were organised at Es Baluard:
- With «Lluerna», the Mid-Term Care Unit (UME) at Gesma
(Psychiatric Hospital of Palma) under artist Isabel Castro Jung.
- With Son Dureta University Hospital’s Semicritical Paediatric
Unit in Palma under Virgínia Vallés, Bachelor of Fine Arts and
art education teacher. This workshop was supported by the
Faculty of Education’s Technological and Educational Inclu-
sion within the Hospital Setting Research and Intervention
Programme (IneDITHOS) at the UIB.

viewed from a contemporary perspective.
Speakers
Col·lectiu Sinapsis: Lídia Dalmau and Cristian Añó
Es Baluard’s Education Team
Objectives
• To provide tools related to concepts and procedures for approaching contempo-
rary art work in educational settings.
• To help identify the pedagogical potential of certain artistic practices and their
application in the classroom.
• To provide the basic knowledge needed to establish a field of critical reflection on
contemporary art and visual culture.
Contents
Focal point 1: A contemporary approach to contemporary artChanges in art practices during the past 40 years were addressed on the basis of
a look at the evolution of specific concepts that included the idea of genius and
ranged from working in the studio to public art, from artwork as an object of value
to copyleft, from the fine arts to multidisciplinarity and from the object to the idea,
etc.. Art projects by different creators were presented to illustrate these concepts.
Focal point 2: An approach to projects that links contemporary art practices, pedagogy and educational settingsThis focal point shed light on practices based on diverse concepts and strategies that
address the relationships between art praxis, pedagogical objectives and education-
al environments. Members of the museum’s Cultural Disseminations Department
explained the «Cartografiem-nos» project it develops for island schools.
Focal point 3: A practical application. Classroom interventionsBased on the workshop attendees’ real classroom situations, this focal point at-
tempted to construct intervention proposals based on the course’s theoretical and
practical contributions.
Methodology A combination of theoretical and practical content.
Proposing spaces of active participation to help groups of students develop a
classroom intervention proposal within the framework of the course.
25 teachers participated in the course, which could not cover all the demand for it;
the course had a waiting list.

«Kiefer in context» In connection with the «Anselm Kiefer. Works of Grothe Collection» exhibition,
workshops were organised around the figure of this artist, his times and what he
meant within the context of Spanish art. The workshops’ objective was to expound
on the artistic and cultural times in which Kiefer’s work was created, thus contex-
tualising it, and critically analyse the influence he had on the Spanish art world.

Photography workshop featuring Bruce GildenJune 15 to 18, 2009
Bruce Gilden (Brooklyn, New York, 1946), prestigious member of Magnum Photos
in New York, offered a course for professional photographers as part of the Photo
Palma celebration. Over the course of the four-day workshop, Gilden helped each
participant find his or her own style of taking photographs, highlighting each indi-
vidual’s personal nature and guiding them through their pictures to make decisions

Dialogical practices IIICurators and pedagogies: hybridations and collabora-tions in the museumJuly 2, 3 and 4, 2009
Seminar-workshop coordinated by Javier Rodrigo and Aida
Sánchez de Serdio
In recent years, the practice and theory of art curating has
been undergoing a slow, yet profound transformation that is
calling into question traditional models based on historiog-
raphy and on aesthetic criteria. Without underestimating the
pertinence of these disciplines, the need for other, hybrid ap-
proaches that thoroughly transform ways of interacting with
art in museums is highlighted.
Instead of conveying traditional connotations, pedagogy is
beginning to acquire a creative and critical value within the
production of artistic discourse. Not only are cultural institu-
tions changing their relationships with the public and society
in general, but contemporary artistic practices are also pos-
ing challenges that make the active participation of all stake-
holders involved in their interpretation indispensible; new
curatorial practices view pedagogy as an integral part of the
exhibition project. Furthermore, museums no longer exist in
isolation, but rather are networking with other institutions
and organisations that can enrich the possibilities of produc-
ing meaning in art through collaboration. Finally, the public is
opening itself up to new experiences that allow it to establish
alternative ways of relating to museums all throughout their
lives.
Therefore, this third edition of «Dialogical Practices» proposed
to bring together a number of different local and international
experts in order to share a debate with seminar participants.
This debate examined the possibilities and challenges being
posed by this intersection of curating and pedagogy on the
basis of both theoretical reflection and debate over examples,
as well as the development of practical workshops.
The third edition of «Dialogical Practices» aimed to reflect the
spirit of the first and second editions by working on theory
and practice at the same time, without separating or dichot-
omising the two fields of action, but rather by focusing on
their intersections. To achieve this, the proposed model com-
bined conference presentations and discussions on the proj-
ects with the speakers, as well as an experimental pedagogy
and curating lab in which a project was developed with the
support of the course tutors.

ArtFutura October 29 to December 11, 2009
For the first time, Es Baluard participated in the ArtFutura audiovisual competition,
which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 2009. Alongside La Casa Encendida
in Madrid, La Laboral in Gijon and Arts Santa Mònica in Barcelona and others, Es
Baluard was one of 14 art centres simultaneously hosting the show.
Since 1990, ArtFutura has been showcasing the most relevant ideas and projects
that have emerged in the international worlds of new media, interactive design,
videogames and digital animation.
The ArtFutura festival was held at Es Baluard thanks to the collaboration with Obra
Social “SA NOSTRA”, which had hosted the art competition until 2008.

Marketing and Communication DepartmentThe Marketing Department is responsible for obtaining funds for strengthening and vitalising the museum and its programmes. It is also responsible for defining Es Baluard’s corporate identity and ensuring a suitable use of the brand in terms of the museum’s promotion, particularly as part of the range of cultural and leisure events available to the business sector and in relation to the permanent collection, temporary exhibitions and cultural dissemination activities.
The Communication Department is responsible for preparing information about the museum and the internal and exter-nal dissemination of the different activities held there. For this purpose, the Communications Department maintains in-direct information distribution channels, those aimed at the media, as well as those aimed directly at the public, such as the museum’s own website and our presence on the social networking sites. Es Baluard’s audiovisual archive and the maintenance of the newspaper and periodical library and the photograph and video libraries are also part of the de-partment’s functions.

MarketingIn 2009, the Marketing Department worked to promote the museum and integrate
it into the Balearic Islands’ cultural and leisure offering, particularly in terms of
the business sector and citizens. The following actions were organised to this end:
informative direct marketing and online marketing campaigns, separate advertis-
ing campaigns for each exhibition, workshops, conferences and other museum ac-
tivities (with a separate media plan: newspaper ads, opis circuits, etc.), brochures,
invitations, posters, banners, leaflets and the mass distribution of pamphlets and
other types of material; attention to visitors, spaces on hire for private events, trade
agreements signed and memberships in corporate loyalty programmes; inclusion
in professional excursion programmes in the tourism sector (hotels, travel agencies
specialising in meetings tourism and tour operators); research on sponsorships and
patronage and improving the «Amics d’Es Baluard» programme.
This objective was materialised through the following actions:
-Sales Strategy
-Visitors Service
-«Amics d’Es Baluard»
-Advertising and marketing campaigns that control the corporate identity in
informative direct marketing campaigns and online marketing campaigns
-Sponsorship programme
Sales strategy
Two sub-products are worked on in depth: ticket sales and spaces for hire:
Ticket sales
- Annual negotiation of collaborations with travel agencies, such as TUI (creating
customised tours) Iberoservice, Travelplan, Come2mallorca.com, and Hotelbeds
Mundosenior.
- Agreements with corporate clubs, such as the FNAC, ACOVIS (Via Sindicat Mer-
chants Association), Aliança (the insurance company) or consortia, such as the Balearic
Youth Institute (Carnet Jove Card) and the creation of a special rate for cardholders.
- Agreements with hotel associations and companies that led to the creation of dis-
count cards («Advantage Special Card») customised for each hotel and aimed at the
end client, which include museum tours in weekend city break packages.
- In July, the museum launched a new tour modality called «Si véns en bici», which of-
fers the chance to purchase a €2 admission ticket to the museum any day of the year.
Spaces for hire
- Agreements with catering forms, events planners and travel agencies.
- Acquisition of direct customers (companies) as consultants, official professional
associations, cultural associations, etc.. Implementation of a loyalty policy with
corporate discounts for repeat direct customers with the possibility of becoming
sponsors or patrons.
- Photography and audiovisual shoots (producers such as Robbie Bellapart, Amaz-
ing Spaces, The Production Factory, etc.).
- Agreements with associations, NGOs and institutions to organise special events
with social and media impacts that promote the museum’s image and commit-
ments (FEAPS, Fundación Vicente Ferrer, IB3 Televisió, IBATUR, etc.).
- Member of IMTUR’s Meetings and Incentives Consortium (since 2006) and provi-
sion of promotional material at trade fairs (International Cultural Tourism Fair of
Málaga).

Visitors service
2009 saw the continuation of the programme of visitors booths at the reception
desk and other points in the museum for attending to visitors.
Advertising and marketing campaigns
In collaboration with the museum’s direction, the Marketing Department controls
the proper application of the museum’s corporate identity when promoting it within
the cultural and leisure offer. Furthermore, the museum’s public goals are analysed
in relation to the different co-existing subproducts - permanent collection, tempo-
rary exhibitions, cultural dissemination activities, private tours and spaces for hire
- to decide the best way for goals to be achieved and the marketing and advertising
measures needed to achieve them, which are carried out in different formats:
- Informative direct marketing, online marketing and advertising campaigns:
The Department prepares specific graphic material (invitations, e-mail invitations,
leaflets, banners and posters) for each temporary exhibition ¬-8 of which were
held in 2009 - and for workshops, conferences and other museum activities and
products, such as «Llunes d’Es Baluard», Art Night and International Museum Day
(brochures, e-leaflets and programme hand-outs).
Advertising campaigns for each temporary exhibition, open houses, «Llunes d’Es
Baluard» and Nit de l’Art in local newspapers and magazines and the specialised
national press.
Marketing and public relations campaign: in 2009, the museum created a profile
on the most popular social networks, including Facebook (with over two thousand
friends), Tuenti and Twitter, and launched regular online promotions.
Since its official launch in October 2008, the «Tu decideixes» events on Fridays have
attracted over 70% more visitors than the other days of the week.
«Amics d’Es Baluard»
Launched in 2004, work continues on consolidating this loyalty programme, which
gives members preferential treatment in the museum and maintains an active direct
online communication campaign.
Programme sponsorship and patronage
Since its inauguration, Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma
has had a sponsorship programme for companies and organisations that wish to
link their images to the world of culture and art, in addition to reaffirming their
commitments to a society in which culture is one of the main bastions. Companies
and organisations that are part of the Es Baluard sponsorship programme are linked
for a certain time to the museum, in addition to receiving preferential treatment and
socio-cultural and honorific privileges according to category. The following compa-
nies collaborated with the museum in 2009:

CommunicationThe Communication Department’s objective is to disseminate information on the
Museum. To this end, it divides its action lines into:
- Media coverage of the museum and raising its profile
- Newspaper and media archives and documentation work
- Reinforcement and expansion of virtual communication tools
- Coverage of the museum’s own events
Media coverage of the museum and raising its profile
The basic focus of the Communication Department is to keep
the media and general public informed about the museum’s
new offerings. In this sense, the Department maintains direct
relations with local, national and international journalists to
ensure the widest dissemination of the museum’s activities
and publication of the most news articles. One ongoing task
is updating and expanding the database on media of interest.
Other tasks are drafting communiqués, developing exhibition
press kits, taking photographs and videos that document the
museum’s activities, organising and convening press confer-
ences, managing recordings and interviews for the media,
corresponding with journalists and providing them with
documentary material and sending bulk e-mails with infor-
mation on the museum’s activities. The Department’s direct
relationship with communication professionals also includes
attending them on the Internet, by telephone and/or person-
ally during tours of the museum and providing them with
support material so that information can be written up.
Newspaper and media archives and documentation work
The Department compiles information to document the muse-
um’s public profile in the media and makes efforts to expand
and maintain the newspaper and media archives. Some of
the most important work involves compiling daily clippings,
rigorously reviewing the daily press and maintaining subse-
quent files that allow news of interest on exhibitions and oth-
er museum activities to be consulted. In addition, the Com-
munication Department was in charge of creating a video to
commemorate Es Baluard’s 5th anniversary, which assembles
and retells the most important moments and activities during
these first five years of its history. The Department was also
commissioned to create videos on the «Garden of Eden #2»
installation for the audio-visual media and direct dissemina-
tion through Es Baluard’s various communication channels
on the Internet.
Reinforcement and expansion of virtual communication tools
The Communication Department is in charge of maintaining
the website content up-to-date with the latest news on the mu-
seum and its activities. Furthermore, the Department oversees
the promotion of the museum website through the print media,
since it is an immediate and vital portal to the museum. Dur-
ing 2009, Es Baluard’s Communication Department worked on
the design and content of the new website to make it ready
for posting in 2010. Given that Es Baluard’s new virtual com-
munication must comply with the characteristics of a Web 2.0,
It should not be limited to reporting on the museum’s activities
through the Internet, but should in turn, seek feedback from
users in order to understand their views on the activities tak-
ing place. This has been achieved by establishing a structure
that seeks a high profile in social networks such as Facebook,
Tuenti, Youtube, Twitter and Flickr. These new communication
channels are effective thanks to both their immediacy and in-
teractivity, as well as to their stimulation of the public’s loyalty
and their perception of the museum as a modern institution.
Coverage of the museum’s own events
The Communication Department is responsible for covering
events organised by the museum in connection to exhibitions
as well as related activities coordinated by the Education and
Cultural Action Departments. In this area, the Communication
Department files photographs and high definition audio and
video files of museum events and makes them readily avail-
able to television and radio stations primarily in the Balearic
Islands in addition to media on the Spanish mainland.

Annual report 2.009
Note 1. Activity of the entityThe Foundation for Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma was
created as a non-profit cultural foundation in accordance with Law of Foundations 50/02
of the 26th of December and the Decree 45/1998 on the creation and regulation of the
exclusive register of foundations of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands,
of the 14th of April, and the organisation of the execution of the Protectorate, of the 30th of

exhibit and promote the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Palma, and the works
of art from the Serra Collection, the set of artwork given by other founders and those that
are acquired or by any agreement possessed by the Foundation. This care is to be exten-
ded to new acquisitions that may be made at any time. Indeed, the foundational objective
includes the acquisition and possession of any order of assets.
In order to develop the foundational objective properly, the Foundation conducts the follo-
wing activities, among others:
a) The organisation of art work exhibitions and the production of special exposi-
tions that complement the collection, the set and the other works of art that the
Foundation might possess.

Note 4. Rules for registry and valuationThe principal rules of valuation used by the Entity in the elaboration of the annual
financial statements for the year 2009, according to those established by the Gene-
ral Accounting Plan, are the following:
1) Immobilitzat intangible:The assets items contained herein are non-monetary assets that cannot be physically
touched but that have a measureable economic value. They are initially recognized
for their acquisition power. Eventual acquisitions without consideration become assets
for their taxable value or sale value. Asset assignment operations, whether lifetime or
temporary, are appraised at their measured taxable or sale value, according to the rules
established by the Estate Duty and Stamp Tax and Death Duty. They are later appraised
at a lower price according to the accumulated depreciation, calculated as a function of
their lifetime use and the eventual losses for write-down.
The grounds entitled «Baluard of Sant Pere» have been appraised according to the cri-
teria applied by the City Hall of Palma. As for the museum building, ceded to the Foun-
dation in 2004 by the Consortium Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palma,
has been registered for the value of its construction at 16.9 million euros.
The intangible fixed assets with indefinite lifetime value do not depreciate.
The annual amount for depreciation is calculated with a lineal model representing es-
timated useful life of the different depreciable assets from the beginning of its activity,
which is as follows:
Elements included as assignment items depreciate during the assignment period; howe-
ver, if this period is greater than the useful life of the material elements, the estimated
useful material life will be used.
135 Economic memory 2009 | Administration Department - Economical information | 2009 annual financial report statement
estimated useful life (yrs)Assignments 99
Industrial and intellectual property 5
Information technology applications 3
2) Assets integral to Historical WealthGiven that the social mission of the Foundation is inextricably linked to the muse-
um of the same name, it has been deemed appropriate to use this item to reflect
investments in the works that are property of the Foundation. Therefore, all infor-
mation in the presentation of accounting status that makes reference to Historical
Wealth Assets should be understood as Museum Works.
The appraisal criteria are the same as for material fixed assets. Given that these as-
sets are not depreciable, depreciation amounts are not applied. Neither have write-
down losses been applied.
3)Tangible fixed assets:The different items that are tangible fixed assets are accounted for based on the price
of their acquisition, construction, refurbishment or improvement. Acquisitions without
consideration are appraised at their taxable value or sale value.
The annual depreciation amount is calculated, for depreciable elements, with a lineal
model representing estimated useful life of the different assets, which begins at the mo-
ment the assets begins to function and the beginning of its activity, which is as follows:
estimated useful life (yrs)Constructions 33
Other facilities and installations 10
Furnishings 10
Information processing equipment 5
Other material assets 10
4) Real estate investments.No real estate investments.
136 Economic memory 2009 | Administration Department - Economical information | 2009 annual financial report statement
5) BarterNo barter.
6) Financial assets and liabilities:The financial instruments registered by the Entity at year-end closing always corres-
pond to items valued at the depreciated cost.
Financial assets.Financial assets are reflected in the current balance upon their acquisition and initial
registration at reasonable cost, which generally includes costs of operation. Financial
assets held by the Entity are classified as:
- Loans and accounts receivable: These correspond to credits (commercial or non-
commercial) originated by the Entity in exchange for the management of assets or
services, the payments for which are set at a fixed or fixable price and are not ne-
gotiated in an open market. Subsequently they are appraised at their depreciated
cost recognizing in the results sheet the accumulated interested according to the
effective interest rate. Credits transacted in foreign currency are converted to Euros
at the closing exchange rate. The losses accrued through write-down are figured in
regards to the risk presented by the possibility of insolvency.
- Collateral down: Collateral offered for operational leases and service provision.
The difference between their reasonable cost and the disbursement amount is
considered to be payment ahead of time for the lease or service.
- Investments in the assets of the group, multi-group and associate companies: The-
se investments are initially valued at cost, which is equivalent to the reasona-
ble cost of the consideration performed plus the directly attributable transaction
costs. Subsequently, they are valued for their cost minus the amount accumulated
by the valuation corrected for write-down.
- Financial assets available for sale: These values represent debt and other compani-
es’ asset instruments. They are initially valued at their reasonable cost, including
an amount equivalent to the value of preferential subscriptions or similar consi-
derations that may be acquired. Later, they are valued at their reasonable vale
without deducting transaction costs incurred through sale. Any changes produced
in the reasonable cost are registered directly in the net assets until the financial
assets causes a drop in the balance or incurs a write-down, in which case the
amount will figure in the profit and loss report.
Write-down correction values.Upon objective evidence at year-end close that an investment’s book value can no
longer be recovered, any necessary value corrections are made accordingly.
The corrective amount is the difference in the financial asset’s book value and the
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is understood to be the greater of the
reasonable cost minus the sale costs and the current value of the future cash flow
derived from the investment.
Write-down correction values and, if follows, their reversion values, are registered
accordingly as an expense or as earnings in the profit and loss account. The rever-
sion is limited to the financial asset’s book value.
137 Economic memory 2009 | Administration Department - Economical information | 2009 annual financial report statement
Specifically, at year-end close, objective evidence that the value of a credit (or a
group of credits with similar risk factors that can be valued collectively) has been
written-down as the result of one of more events that occurred after its initial as-
sumption and that have caused a reduction or a delay in the estimated cash flows
to be received in the future and could be the source of insolvency on the part of the
debtor will be duly noted.
The write-down loss will be the difference between the book value and real value
of the future cash flows estimated to be received, subtracted from the rate of liqui-
dity calculated upon its initial assumption.
Financial liabilities. Classified as:
- Debt and accounts payable: Charges (commercial or non-commercial) accrued by the
Entity in exchange for the direct acquisition of assets or services, the payments for
which are set at a fixed or fixable price and are not negotiated in an open market.
Subsequently they are appraised at their depreciated cost recognizing in the results
sheet the accumulated interested according to the effective interest rate.
- Credits transacted in foreign currency are converted to Euros at the closing exchange rate.
- Commercial charges do not generate interest explicitly and are registered as nominal.
- Collateral collected: Collateral for operational leases and service provision. The diffe-
rence between their reasoned value and the disbursement amount is considered to
be payment ahead of time for the lease or service.
Criteria used in the release of financial assets and liabilities.The Entity applies the principles outlined in the General Accounting Plan to release
financial assets and liabilities.
A financial asset is released when, due to an operation’s economic circumstances,
there is a significant transfer or risks and benefits to owning the assets. In the cases in
which an asset is released, the difference between the net consideration received from
the costs attributable to the transaction and the measurable value of the asset will be
recorded in the profit and loss account.
Financial liabilities are released when the conditions that have created the liability
expire.
7) Credits not derived from activities:No credits not derived from activities.
8) Stock:Stock is valued at price of acquisition or cost of production. Corrective valuations have
not been made.
138 Economic memory 2009 | Administration Department - Economical information | 2009 annual financial report statement
9) Transactions in foreign currency:Tangible and intangible fixed assets. The conversion to Euros is made by applying the
exchange rate valid for the day the asset is incorporated to the price paid for its acquisition.
The conversion to Euros for the payment of debt accrued in foreign currency is made
by applying the exchange rate valid for the day the operation is effected, generating a
positive or negative change in the figure which is calculated accordingly as revenue or
expenses. As of 31 December there is no debt in foreign currency.
10) Profit tax:No deferred-tax assets or liabilities due to the special fiscal regulations for non-
profit entities.
11) Revenue and expenses:The criteria for recording revenue and expenses follow the valuation rules establis-
hed within the conceptual framework of the General Accounting Plan approved by
Royal Decree 1515/2007.
12) Provisions and contingencies:No provisions and contingencies.
13) subsidies, donations and bequeathals:Assets received though subsidies, donations and bequeathals are appraised for their
taxable value or sale value, with the market value as the limit, as long as they are
considered non-reintegrable. If there are assignments for use, in addition to the valu-
es mentioned, the corrections established by the fiscal regulation (ITPIAJD/ISID) are
applied. They are accounted for as «Net assets» and are recorded as results as per the
depreciation of the asset received or the asset financed by the subsidies, donations
or bequeathals.
If an assignment is made for a concrete purpose, it is imputed as results as per the
purpose named, and in case there is no assignment made for a concrete purpose, it is
recorded as revenues for the period in which it is made.

Note 19. Guidelines for the presentation of budget liquidationThe rules established in the Annex II of Royal Decree 776/1998, of the 30th of April,
regarding budgetary information, and by which the rules of adaptation of the Gene-
ral Accounting Plan for non-profit entities as well as the budgetary information rules
for these entities are approved, have been duly applied.
As per article 9 of the Foundation Statutes, the budgetary model was generated in
accordance with the differentiation of ordinary revenue and expenses and other
revenue and expenses linked specifically to programs included in the Action Plan.
This model allows for direct control of the museum’s ordinary and general expen-
ses (which include the permanent collection), that are not imputable in any specific
action plan, as well as those expenses that are created by programmed activities
that are considered necessary to the best use of resources.

146 Economic memory 2009 | Administration Department - Economical information | 2009 annual financial report statement
The budgeted revenue and expenses are imputed for each program in accordance
with a direct assessment of each accountable aspect.
Note 20. Information on budget liquidation
Parameters for compliance with the Action Plan: The Foundation for Es Baluard
Museum d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma, counted 325,239 visitors over the
course of the year 2009.
In conjunction with the conservation and display of the collection, in 2009, 40
works of art were acquired. There was one loan from the collection, a piece by
Joaquim Mir lent to Barcelona Caixa Forum and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao.
There were 8 temporary expositions during 2009.
The web page was visited 130,576 times.
In 2009, 8 museum publications were edited.
Approximately 11,972 people participated in the cultural and education activities
that took place.
The following comments are generated from the chart representing the liquidation
of the 2009 Yearly Budget:
The difference in functional operating expenses was only -0,78%, whereas revenue
from operating functions was 5,38% greater than expected.
The difference in revenue and expenses for funds operations are the product of a
reclassification of the current epigraphs, a reduction in treasury due to a decrease
in creditors, and an increase in debtors.
