Until May 11, 2025 the visitors can enjoy two excellent temporary exhibitions of greats artists: 1924. OTHER SURREALISMS On 15 October 1924, André Breton published the ‘First Manifesto of Surrealism’. One hundred years later, 1924. Other Surrealisms 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 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.
