Chema AlvargonzAlez made a site specific installation built on the ramp leading to the Santa Mónica building. This artwork was dominated by the word “TRANSFORMACIÓ” back-lit with red neon lights and several yellow neon lights scattered throughout the ramp. By using the word “Transformació” (transformation in Catalan), the artist was referring to the changes that this specific quarter of the city was undergoing; from an abandoned convent in front of the red light district to a cosmopolitan area leading to the sea and dominated by a contemporary art centre.
