Exhibitions

Fifteen years after the exhibition El Pintor, the MACS’s presents the unclassifiable work of Angel Vergara in the wider context of a exhibition of his paintings. Beginning with his ‘tableaux’, produced by a group of partially-sighted children during workshops devised by the artist, the show traces the evolution of his artistic practice from his first ‘painted films’ produced in Super 8 in the 1980s, to his video devices that recorded his painting in progress, along with a more classical gallery of large canvases. 

To mark its 20th anniversary, the MACS has invited its honorary director, Laurent Busine, to devise an exhibition in line with his humanist conception of the museum, which envisages the singularity of each individual’s perspective and creates a dialogue between works of art, curiosities and everyday images. Celebrating the encounter between the public’s curiosity and the inventiveness of artists, Les Fabriques du cœur et leur usage bears witness to the changing, colourful complexity of the world that we inhabit for a time.
