This exhibition surveys the projects and ideas that underpinned the body of work by Muntadas (Barcelona, 1942) for more than 40 years. At the crossroads between video, photography, text and installation, Muntadas inquired into the nature of art institutions and their ecosystem of production-reception, the changing relations between public and private, and the power of the flow of information against the contemporary landscape of the mass media.

Having studied primary structures at the Computing Centre in Madrid, Soledad Sevilla (1944) creates installations that transform geometry into a subtle reflection on experience, matter, colour and light, intersecting sensitive and specific elements in her sculptures. Written on the celestial bodies, her largest work to date, is a site-specific piece that reproduces the vault of the Palace itself, recreating the image of the night sky.

The exhibition Locus Solus. Impressions de Raymond Roussel is dedicated to the body of work by the French novelist and poet and its influence on modern and contemporary art. Roussel (1877-1933) was the author of a literary opus made up of rich worlds, filled with spectacle, masks and phantasmagoria and built around the mechanisms and double entendres found in language. In its consideration of Roussel, Locus Solus is also taking a furtive glance at the history of 20th century art.

Ironic and imaginative, the body of work by René Daniëls (Eindhoven, 1950) provides another frame of reference for thinking about painting, beyond the post-minimalist and neo-expressionist allusions of the 1980s. René Daniëls’ space is a point of slippage between language and image, occupied by the ambiguities between representation and reality inherited from René Magritte and Marcel Broodthaers. As the artist himself wrote, his painting attempts to occupy the no man’s land between literature, visual art and life.

Often associated with the Italian Arte Povera movement, Alighiero Boetti (1940-1994) goes beyond the concepts of transformation and process that underpinned this art movement. His work involves the idea of radical change, accepting the dualism present in the artist’s subjectivity (with the intentional duplication of his name), and trying to renounce traditional hierarchies. This oeuvre, which is now being examined in depth, subjects the world to examination and brings together sensory and conceptual approaches.
