A light installation by Basurama that transforms the fa\u00e7ade of the \u00c8gora Municipal Sports Centre into a living symbol of health, movement, and community in the Tur\u00f3 de la Peira neighborhood.<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n

The artist: Basurama Collective<\/span><\/h3>\n

Basurama is an artistic and research collective founded in 2001, based in Madrid, dedicated to creation, cultural production, and critical analysis of production processes, waste generation, and the creative, social, and environmental possibilities they open.<\/span>
\n<\/span> Their work sits at the intersection of art, architecture, and urbanism, with a clear focus on public-space intervention. Through installations, actions, and collaborative projects, Basurama reuses discarded materials to activate new readings on consumption, sustainability, and the relationship between community and city, transforming waste into cultural and symbolic devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

The artwork: “Cor”<\/span><\/h3>\n

Location: Carrer de Sant Iscle, 50, \u00c8gora Municipal Sports Centre \u2013 Tur\u00f3 de la Peira, Nou Barris, Barcelona<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The installation Cor is an exterior light intervention located on the fa\u00e7ade of the \u00c8gora Municipal Sports Centre, a facility closely linked to health, physical activity, and community life in the neighborhood. The work visualizes values such as movement, wellbeing, and community, integrating with the sustainable architecture of the building and the natural surroundings of the park.<\/span>
\n<\/span> The installation is constructed using repurposed hazard warning triangles, objects rendered obsolete by new road safety regulations. In Catalonia, this means millions of triangles are no longer in use. Made from various materials and difficult to recycle, many of these objects end up in landfills or abandoned.<\/span> Basurama recovers around 250 triangles and re-signifies them, transforming a symbol associated with private vehicles, fossil fuel consumption, and climate change into an installation that speaks of life, energy, and circulation. Thanks to the reflective properties of the triangles, the work creates a luminous system that evokes a circulatory network, with a large central heart that “beats” each night when lit for several hours, projecting light onto the building’s green fa\u00e7ade.<\/span> Just as heartbeats give life to the body, neighborhood relationships give life to the community. In this way, Cor transforms a massive waste into a visual symbol of community health, diverse uses, and shared vitality, reinforcing the idea of the sports facility as a living organism within the urban fabric of Nou Barris.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gmaps link=”#E-8_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” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]\n

NOU Sentit Urb\u00e0: urban art in the Nou Barris distric<\/a><\/h3>\n

This intervention is part of the 18 artistic actions of the NOU Sentit Urb\u00e0<\/a> project, promoted by <\/span>Barcelona City Council<\/span><\/a> and produced by <\/span>Rebobinart<\/span><\/a>, with the collaboration of the<\/span> Nou Barris District <\/span><\/a>and local neighborhood communities.<\/span>
\n<\/span>The project recovers collective memories and local identities through murals, installations, and participatory processes, addressing themes such as older age, sustainability, migration, neighborhood women, vernacular architecture, or sport as a force for cohesion. Each intervention adds a piece to <\/span>Nou Barris<\/span><\/a>‘ shared story, reinforcing the value of memory and the role of urban art as a tool for social transformation.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\t
