The 8 Most Creative Instagrams of Bernardi Roig’s Sculptures

Posted on December 12, 2014 by Experiment Station

We love how creative Instagrammers have been getting when snapping photos of Bernardi Roig’s sculptures inside and outside of the museum. Here are some of our favorites.

Postcard from Mallorca: Inside the Home and Studio of Bernardi Roig

Greetings from Binissalem, Mallorca!

A few weeks ago, I visited Bernardi Roig’s studio (a former wine cellar) and home, both from the 16th century. This was in preparation for his elaborate Intersections project scheduled for the fall of 2014, when we’ll have his works dispersed throughout the Phillips and outside the building. I took some photos of the artist in his studio and of his beautiful home for your viewing pleasure and to give you a sneak peek as to what you can expect from his 2014 exhibition. The artist promised to send homemade wine form Mallorca for his opening, so watch for the event in November 2014!

Saludos and hasta pronto!

The Phillips Inspires Me To…

During my recent vacation, I visited the The Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona. As I walked out into the courtyard I saw this:

Visitors shared how the Palau inspired them using colored post-it notes provided by the concert hall! I loved how a colorful display emerged from the public’s feedback!

And, of course, it got me wondering, what would the public say if the Phillips did a similar activity? What does the Phillips inspire you to do?
