Antonis Donef
Every Time
Aug 21, 2024 – Sep 21, 2024
Antonis Donef’s interest in exploring the boundaries of knowledge, but also of theories on learning, is mirrored also in the new series of wall works: intricate multilayered collages comprised by cut-outs from vintage maps which the artist is collecting during his travels in Greece and abroad. The time-consuming and at the same time organic process of cutting each map into numerous strips and pasting them onto canvas by creating overlapping layers that form geometric patterns, captures the artist’s objective to recompose knowledge.

Born to love, forced to fight
August 07, 2024 – September 07, 2024
Despite the fictitious character of the theatrical stagings painted by Melen, and notwithstanding his dreamlike winks, “Born to love, forced to fight”, his first solo exhibition, has an autobiographical component. Based on the artist’s experience, this pictorial exercise in self-fiction portrays everyday life in the city (Lima, Buenos Aires, Latin America), proposing a reflection that aspires to have a generational scope.

"Pinacoteca Migrante" at the Spanish Pavilion in the 60th Venice Biennale
April 20 – November 24, 2024
The artist Sandra Gamarra will occupy the Spanish Pavilion with her project “Pinacoteca Migrante / Migrant Art Gallery”. As the first migrant chosen to represent Spain, Gamarra sees the museum as a narrator of great stories, which utilizes representation methods understood as “universal”.
Accompanied by the curator Agustín Pérez Rubio, the artist will transform the Spanish Pavilion into a historic gallery of Western art where the notion of “migration”, in its many facets, will be the protagonist. The Western concept of the art gallery, which was exported to the former colonies, is inverted, exposing a series of historically silenced narratives. Thus, “Migrant Art Gallery” responds to accessibility, diversity and sustainability within an institutional framework and inserts contemporary contexts in relation to racism, migration or extractivism. The protagonists are the migrants, both human and not.
