Where are some cool art galleries in Barcelona?

I'm looking for modern, mostly local, "edgy" (not tourist) art in Barcelona. Know of any specific places or areas?

A gallery street is Consell de Cents. I suggest you also look up the participating galleries at ARCO. They're usually pretty good and "cutting edge".

Visit some of Gaudi's buildings. They (and much of their contents) are true works of art.

I was pretty impressed with the Dali museum when I visited. It's not huge, but it's a really good collection. I would also second visiting Gaudi's buildings. We went to La Sagrida Familia and Parc Guell, both of which were amazing.
