"It gives us great pleasure to see students and people from the tourism team because it will be a unique intervention that will happen," said Mier. 

With a racquet and tennis balls dipped in paint of various colors, Jordi Mollá reinterpreted the work "One" by painter Jackson Pollock. The Spanish artist threw the balls on the print and then invited the audience to participate as well. People started throwing balls and splashing paint on the press and guests.

Martínez Alcazar thanked Mollá for donating the work, which will remain in the new Administrative City.

"It's a hooligan gesture. It's a way of de-virtualizing art, and having fun playing tennis and hitting the ball," Mollá said of the significance of his intervention.
