During the decade of the seventies of the 20th century, the plastic arts were the protagonists of numerous contributions of artistic currents through their actions and works.
Artists from the Balearic Islands participated in struggles for the protection of the territory and protest actions in various areas of official culture, using the languages ??of the avant-garde: performances, happenings, poetic actions, experimental poetry, manifestos, publications, theater, music or Mail Art had a prominent role during the Transition.
The artists Pep Canyelles, Jaume Pinya and Horacio Sapere recovered the documentation that they kept in the drawers and corners of their workshops, from a documentary corpus that shows ten years of work and relationships and that is now deposited in Es Baluard Museu.
The Risc i Ruptura 1973-1983 archive contains more than a thousand documents from 196 authors from various countries. It is the so-called artist archive, in which we discover the relationships of local artists, their union with collectives and artists from all over the world through Mail Art and experimental poetry.
