An exhibition space run by the Generalitat (Catalan Regional Government), it's attractively located in a recently restored 17th-century convent. Although it lacks the prestige of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) (Museum of Contemporary Art), there's always someting interesting to see, be it a group or an individual artist on show. The gallery organizes seasons focusing on the work of contemporary Catalan painters like Jordi Mercadé and Joan Pere Viladecans, for example. The Alexandre Cirici Pellicer Research Centre that's dedicated to the study of Catalan art is here as well.

An intellectual, filmmaker, musician and painter all rolled into one describes David Shrigley. Most of his works are deeply wrought with Euphemisms and attempt to portray the harsh realities of life, as they are, without any pretensions. The exhibition at Centre d'Art Santa Mònica is another masterpiece by the artist to bring to the forefront the bleak reality of human existence. The charm of his paintings are that they are untouched by technological gizmos and the various mediums he uses to get his point through from animations, sculptures, photographs, books and also t-shirts.
