1. The collection of the Kunstmuseum
Those who are in Madrid already know that they have a cultural agenda more than interesting this year, starting with the big muses like the Reina SofÃa Museum that wants to bring us the collection of the Basel Art Museum, the Swiss city best known for its love of art with its international fair Art Basel and its many interesting cultural centers that for their love of chocolate. The exhibition is curated by Bernhard Mendes Bürgi, Nina Zimmer and the museum director Manuel Borja-Villel who have selected almost a hundred works by the great masters of the XX-XXI century. With the title The Collection of the Kunstmuseum, Reina SofÃa offers us, from March 18 to September 14, a great review of the history of art of the last century.
2. Edvard Munch
Great names appear on the agenda of the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum for this year, such as the Belgian Paul Devaux or Zurbarán and the Spanish Golden Age. But we highlight the Edvard Munch exhibition from October 6 to January 17, which will be the first major retrospective devoted to this great 20th century Norwegian artist, in collaboration with the Munch Museet in Oslo. Exhibition that will help us to better understand the protagonists of his paintings, sad and traumatized, which are so disturbing to us.
3. ARCO
The third event is still in Madrid and we must not forget our most important international contemporary art fair, where the most important galleries meet from February 25 to March 1. This year ARCO Madrid becomes a bridge between Latin American and European art.
4. Bruce Nauman
In Valencia if you look through the IVAM you will see a great renovation with its new director José Miguel GarcÃa Cortés. You will feel how you are trying to recover the relevance and cultural interest that you have always had. All this is achieved thanks to the shouts of resignation, transparency and auditing by the Valencian cultural sector. This year there are great names in the Valencian Institute of Modern Art programming such as Josep Renau and Martha Rosler, Antoni Muntadas, Gillian Wearing but we highlight the exposition case study, body, space and time in Bruce Nauman from February 23 to June. In this interesting exhibition we will see how the 60s and 70s became the years of the use of the body as a vehicle of expression, the body became a space of transformation to which the American Nauman came to reflect on the relationship of the body with its context .
5. Niki de Saint Phalle
On the other hand, going north, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao from February 27 to June 11, 2015 offers us a great date with one of the most detached artists of twentieth century feminist art, Niki de Saint Phalle. We can see the Nanas, giant dolls, with which Niki surprised all the spectators, being able to enter them through her vagina. It is a great occasion to learn more about the feminist art that marked an era.
