Martin John Callanan has a solo exhibition across six spaces at Casal Solleric, the city of Palma's contemporary art gallery and archive, including two new works.

Ten years in the making, and shown here for the first time, Grounds, an archive of thousands of photographs of the ground in locations important to society. A set of 200 are displayed across three slide projectors.

Wars During My Life Time, a new work for this exhibition, a newspaper listing - in Catalan - all wars fought during my lifetime.

I Wanted to See All of the News From Today, amasses from across the internet, the front pages of over 960 newspapers from around the world and displays these images within the space of a single scrolling projected display.

Text Trends, an animation which takes the content generated by search queries and reduces this process to its essential elements: search terms vs. frequency searched for over time, presented in the form of a line graph.
