“L’escala de l’enteniment. Ramon Llull, 1316-2016” (The Stairway of Understanding. Ramon Llull, 1316-2016), is an outcome of the intersection between art, philosophy and mathematics. The painter and sculptor Alfonzo Alzamora (Barcelona, 1951), producer of an output of minimalistic poesy, translates into visual language Llull’s symbols of the stairway of understanding and the tree of science in a work that is based on an aesthetic study of iconography and an investigation into the grammar of volume, equilibrium and symmetry. The project, co-curated by, Glòria Bosch, director of art at the Fundació Vila Casas; Amador Vega, chair of Aesthetics and Theory of Art at Universidad Pompeu Fabra and expert on Ramon Llull; and Pelegrí Viader, mathematician and lecturer at Universidad Pompeu Fabra, got underway on 3 March with the siting of a sculpture at the Ciutadella campus of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
