Cuitat De La Gent
Craigie Horsfield
Catalogue of the homonymous exhibition, that includes seventy-six photographs by Craigie Horsfield. Horsfield belongs to a generation of artists who, in the 1980s, promoted the ‘new photographic objectivity’ and the idea of photographs as tableaux. His series The City of the People was produced in post-Olympic Barcelona during the 1990s. Curated by Manuel J. Borja-Villel and Jean-François Chevrier for an impressive exhibition at the Fundació Antoni Tàpies, it featured a series of around fifty portraits of people from the city. Some of these portraits are now part of the MACBA Collection.
For Horsfield, the Barcelona series marked a new way of working articulated around projects of social collaboration. To select his subjects, Horsfield worked with a team of anthropologists, economists and architects who contributed their vision of the diverse social groups in the city.
