The Murcia Regional Library (BRMU) hosts this Friday, March 18, the second session of the cycle ‘Cinemarq2: the architecture of evil’, a cycle focused on architecture, comics, cinema and fashion, analyzing these areas in relation to the supervillains of cinema and comics. The cycle is co-organized by the architect Helia de San Nicolás and the BRMU.

One of the most terrifying cases that are remembered about architecture designed to exercise evil. Next, Sara Rubayo, art historian and social networker, will analyze the art that appears associated with supervillains in comics and movies. Rubayo will raise questions such as what art hangs in the villains’ mansions?; Are the superheroes more of impressionism and the villains of contemporary art?
