TESOROS, RAREZAS Y CURIOSIDADES

The exhibition “Tesoros, rarezas y curiosidades” (Treasures, Rarities and Curiosities) is conceived as a collection, a work in progress. When we talk to collectors about their collections, whatever their field, they always indicate that the greatest satisfaction, apart from the pure contemplation, is the teaching, the knowledge acquired in the process of collecting. The objects become “family”, with all that this implies: enjoyment, care… Over time, the elements become closer to each other, composing an intimate landscape. This landscape –built, according to our tastes or concerns, as a private island– makes us, at the same time, wiser, more sensitive to life.

This is a project open on many fronts, a project that invites anyone who dares to enter the exhibition to appreciate it without prejudice. Varied and eclectic, it aims to stir consciences and break down taboos. And –why not?– to encourage people to start collecting.

Throughout time, artists have felt compelled to bear witness to the qualities and characteristics of our ever-changing world. As a reflection of this long shared history, the exhibition brings together works by very different artists such as Graciela Iturbide, Imi Knoebel, Eugenio Ampudia, Lugán, Fernando Lorite, Equipo 57, Luis Gordillo, José Manuel Capuletti…

United by a common intention to investigate, observe and bear witness to the complex world in which we live, each of the works on display reflects a part of the environment that surrounds us, provoking in the viewer a kind of journey in search of their own inner landscape.
