"Quantum" is an international project that has its origins in Collide International, the most important Arts at CERN program that is carried out in collaboration with FACT Liverpool. In the last three years a group of artists were invited to reside in the CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research, located in Geneva) to develop their artistic practice. The objective was to establish a dialogue with engineers and particle physicists. "Quantum" brings together the ten works produced thanks to this exchange (artistic itinerary), and presents nine windows that introduce the work of research in the laboratory (scientific itinerary), developed from the theories of quantum mechanics.
The day of Sant Jordi in Catalonia is the day when the streets are filled with stalls of roses and books. It is tradition that men give women a rose and that women give a book to men. And the April 23rd is also the International Day of the Book, so to the custom of giving a rose was added the habit of giving a book (1930). Interestingly, that the day, April 23rd, is not a holiday but it seems so, because the streets of Barcelona are full of people. A day to wander around in Barcelona, a day for men to become symbolically knights and women princesses, and a day to promote the selling of books and, hopefully also the reading.
