Publications
A wide-ranging and comprehensive editorial program produced by the Museum on modern and contemporary art.
Un modo de hacer generativo / A Generative Way
Esta publicación bilingüe se edita con motivo de la exposición retrospectiva Marisa González. Un modo de hacer generativo, que se celebra en el Museo Reina Sofía y en Azkuna Zentroa – Alhóndiga Bilbao.
El catálogo ofrece un repaso por la trayectoria de esta figura pionera en la experimentación con dispositivos tecnológicos de reproducción de imágenes en España. Los ensayos, escritos por Violeta Janeiro Alfageme, comisaria de la exposición, Julia Ramírez-Blanco, Rocío de la Villa, Claudia Giannetti y Miguel Álvarez-Fernández, abordan desde sus experimentaciones tempranas en el marco del programa Generative Systems [Sistemas Generativos] del Art Institute of Chicago, dirigido por la que sería su mentora, Sonia Sheridan, hasta sus trabajos vinculados a dispositivos como el fax o el sistema informático Lumena, así como su trabajo fotográfico más reciente que documenta, entre otras cuestiones, las heridas ecológicas y la memoria industrial del país o los efectos sociales del neoliberalismo global.

The editorial work of the Museo
Since its inception, the Museo Reina Sofía has developed an in-house editorial programme to enrich and expand its cultural activities. Therefore, a series of publications reflects the cornerstones of common work and research among its different departments and external agents, contributing to reflections and collective debates from the ecosystem of modern and contemporary art.
These publications, encompassing temporary exhibition catalogues, monographs, catalogues raisonnés, essay books, facsimiles, artists’ books, educational publications, guides to the Collection and serial publications, shape a broad and comprehensive catalogue which is available on the Museo Reina Sofía website, providing users with certain free access materials.
The Museo will send out fortnightly bulletins with its programme of activities, forthcoming openings and latest editorial, video and RRS Radio productions.
