BOOKS
There is a common thread running through all
the phrases posted over the years on the notice
board of the Publications Department: they all
have to do with the best ideas being the simple
ones, with the time needed to do a good job, with
enthusiasm and humour because, at the Museu
dArt Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), we
think that producing a book is much more than
just publishing a series of texts and images
to document the Museums activity.
Hay algo en comn en todas las frases que hemos

ido reuniendo a lo largo del tiempo en el tabln
de anuncios del departamento de Publicaciones:
hablan de la simplicidad de las mejores ideas, del
tiempo necesario para realizar un buen trabajo,
del entusiasmo y del humor; y es que desde el
Museu dArt Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA)
pensamos que hacer un libro es mucho ms
que publicar una serie de textos e imgenes que
acompaen la actividad del museo.
