Overview

• The exhibition opened July 3 as the second phase of IVAM’s Colección project under director Blanca de la Torre and curators Sonia Martínez and Carles Àngel Saurí.
• Fifty works by 23 artists spanning over a century are juxtaposed to reveal hidden echoes and vulnerabilities in Valencia’s urban and cultural landscape.
• Three anchor sculptures—from Bruce Nauman, Juan Muñoz and Richard Serra—organize the show’s three interconnected galleries and frame relational narratives.
• Recent IVAM acquisitions like Álex Reynolds’s video and Ángeles Marco’s photographs stand alongside loans from Ibon Aranberri, Mari Reme Silvestre and Guillermo Ros to broaden the museum’s dialogue.
• Following Escena I: Hacer paisaje in 2024, this chapter leads into Kara Walker’s September exhibitions Burning Village and Habitar las Sombras underlining a curatorial transition.
