Autorías silenciadas por la historia: Patentes y marcas alemanas alumbran la coautoría de Lilly Reich en la arquitectura de la Exposición Internacional de Barcelona 1929

Es una imagen inédita del Pabellón Mies van der Rohe en Barcelona. Hasta el pasado 6 de marzo el Pabellón nunca antes había estado abierto en esa dirección. En ese mismo espacio, donde ahora se ve la extensa vitrina horizontal, habitualmente hay una doble pantalla vertical de vidrio esmerilado, un lucernario. Esta transformación inédita del espacio forma parte de la intervención artística Re-enactment: la obra de Lilly Reich ocupa el Pabellón de Barcelona, resultado de la investigación llevada a cabo por Laura Martínez de Guereñu con la primera “Beca Lilly Reich para la igualdad en arquitectura”. La exposición, en la que ha colaborado la Oficina Española de Patentes y Marcas (OEPM) con dibujos y expedientes de casi una veintena de patentes y marcas de productos industriales alemanes, quedó suspendida el pasado 13 de marzo de 2020 en respuesta a las medidas adoptadas por la Covid-19. El próximo 6 de junio abrirá sus puertas de nuevo y podrá visitarse hasta el 15 de julio.
