1924. Other Surrealisms
Recoletos Exhibition Hall (Madrid)
On 15 October 1924, André Breton published the ‘First Manifesto of Surrealism’. One hundred years later, Other Surrealisms. 1924 analyzes the reception and influence in Spain of that text and the Surrealist movement as a whole. The exhibition highlights that, despite its peripheral location in relation to the centres of the European artistic avant-garde, Spain not only contributed to the movement with some of its most representative figures (Dalí, Buñuel, Domínguez…), but also with many important yet lesser-known artists. The exhibition also addresses how Surrealism was reinterpreted in various Latin American countries, as well as the contribution of women to the movement.

Sakiko Nomura. Tender is the night
Recoletos Exhibition Hall (Madrid)
Best known for her photographs of male nudes, which have represented a defiant break with some of the taboos and traditional stereotypes of Japanese culture, Sakiko Nomura (1967) is one of the most outstanding photographers of her generation. In this, her first major retrospective, the nudes, in which the erotic tension is wrapped in an atmosphere of tenderness and a certain mystery, coexist alongside various other images (animals, natural landscapes, empty streets and roads, forests, plants and flowers, fireworks…) to ultimately form a series of interrupted narratives that evoke cinematic fictions.

José Guerrero. On landscape
KBr Photography Center, Fundación MAPFRE (Barcelona)
The work of José Guerrero (Granada, 1979) unfolds as a continuous exercise in reflecting on the representation and perception of landscape and architecture through photographic imagery. His images, organised in series on places rich in iconographic and historical significance (La Mancha, Carrara, Sierra Nevada, the Thames…), transform the landscape into a living, dynamic entity, upon which the viewer’s cultural background and the photographer’s meaningful use of light, colour and atmosphere ultimately construct a poetic reading -laden with meanings and connotations- of the space.
This exhibition spans over 20 years of his career to date.

Bravo. Felipe Romero Beltrán
KBr Photography Center, Fundación MAPFRE (Barcelona)
Bravo, by the Colombian Felipe Romero (1992), is the winning project of the second edition of the KBr Photo Award, launched by Fundación MAPFRE in 2021. Like many of his other works, Bravo offers a reflection on a scenario of tension and conflict: a stretch of the Rio Grande (known as the Río Bravo in Mexico) that forms part of the more than one thousand kilometres of border between Mexico and the United States that coincide with its course. Through images of people, landscapes, and architecture, Bravo constructs a visual essay, sober and poetic, centred around the idea of waiting and border identity.
