Programa Art i Context (2021-2023)

From October 2021 to June 2023 our first edition of Art i Context included more than 25 proposals in the form of workshops, conferences, performances, mediations or collaborations in different spaces, inside and outside the museum and online, creating connections between different layers in Valencia and its context. In [DOSMILVINT-I-U] [DOSMILVINT-I-TRES] = 1 encuentro ([TWENTY-TWENTY] [TWENTY-TWENTY-THREE] = 1 encounter), we present work by artists during the course of the programme.

The members of the first edition of Art i Context were Diego Navarro and Darío Alva, Claudia Dyboski, Marina González Guerreiro, Álvaro Porras and M Reme Silvestre. Their practices can be seen as a reaction to the instability of the current moment and to the abstraction of contemporary reality. They use digital tools, construct escapist, speculative narratives, revalue manual work and make critical revisions of historical processes. The exhibition is a continuation of the ideas underpinning the programme, which is seen as a generational encounter and a space for interchanging influences and references outside the museum space.

This exhibition is one of many in our opening up of our programme, which is an open, non-conclusive process in which the momentum of works’s gestation can be seen as an element that generates meaning.
