Rocío Santa Cruz curates the exhibition Salto de página. El libro de artista en el siglo XXI. Colección de Arte Banco Sabadell, in which she proposes a journey through the Banco Sabadell Art Collection, an outstanding collection of books by national and international artists, as well as works of contemporary art, which has given rise to one of the few private collections of artists’ books in Spain. The proposed route through this collection is divided into five different areas: historical background, artist’s books, object books, photobooks and self-publishing.

Works by Mar Arza, Blanca Casas Brullet and Toni Amengual can be enjoyed at the Museo de la Universidad de Alicante (MUA) until 30 April 2023.

Last days to enjoy Montserrat Soto‘s exhibition entitled Fin de Tramo. In it, Juana de Aizpuru gallery exhibits artworks in which Soto works on territory from political spheres, in relation to limits. Using digital collages as a starting point, the artist conceives installations as a way of denouncing the systems of power that marginalise specific sectors of society.

Until 08.04.2023

Marina Núñez is showing her work Inmersión in the group exhibition ‘El meu cos coneix cants inaudits, la carn diu ver, soc carn espaiosa que canta‘, curated by Ingrid Guardiola and Marta Segarra. Using the body as a pretext, the exhibition at the Bólit Centre d’Art de Girona is conceived as a collective investigation into identity and gender as questions of abnormality. With Inmersión (2019), Marina Núñez creates a mysterious space in which the bodies placed in it end up being absorbed by the surrounding matter.

On the occasion of the exhibition Weeping women are angry la Vanguardia has published the following review:

ORLAN – Weeping women are angry

In order to remember the figure of the artist Ouka Leele, the Madrid City Council has placed a commemorative plaque in the place where the artist lived and worked. From RocioSantaCruz we want to share this recognition to an artist whose own imaginary and individual symbolic world marked the evolution of contemporary art in a city like Madrid.

Colita shows the exhibition “Colita Flamenco. El viaje sin fin” at the Centro Cultural Casa Surga (Utrera). It is an exhibition that shows Colita’s journey through flamenco tablaos, as well as dozens of portraits and snapshots of the most important figures of this cultural phenomenon such as Antonio Gades, La Chunga, Paco de Lucía, Pepe Mairena, José Menese, Lola Flores, Juan Talega, La Piriñaca, Enrique Morente, Mayte Martín and Miguel Poveda.
In the same way, the exhibition celebrates the donation of 7 copies from 1969 to the town of Utrera, in which pictures the sisters Fernanda and Bernarda were portrayed for the book “Luces y sombras del flamenco” (1975).

Andrés Galeano exhibits in Corrents d’Imatges, an exhibition that brings together five artists from Quebec and Catalonia who undertook a digital photographic correspondence in 2020, when creation was done in confinement. The processes set in motion from the space of digital conversation and concretized in residencies in Quebec and Granollers during 2022 are witnesses of a process of exploration of the power of images to build stories and transform them, to create spheres of intimacy or even to become spiritual icons. This exhibition is the culmination of a collaboration between Roca Umbert and VU Photo, with the support of the Institut Ramon Llul, the Ministère des Relations Internationales et de la Francophonie du Québec and the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec.

From March 25 to June 25, 2023.

Two busts of a woman and a man are made up of fragments of their own faces, like archaeological remains, multiple and fragmented, of their history. A history that comes to an end when the sculptures crumble, soft and inconsistent, around roses or penetrated by lilies. If in the baroque vanitas the flowers represented a pleasant but ephemeral existence, here they remain, the fleetingness is only human. Marina Núñez presents the two single-channel videos Vanitas (1), Vanitas (2), 2019, in the exhibition CRYPTO ART: A NEW POSSIBILITY EXHIBITION at the Dynamicart Museum.
