Together with these exhibitions MUSAC presents H Box, a nomad screening space under Benjamin Weill’s art direction and supported by Hermès, which will display eight new video creations by international young artists. The space Laboratorio 987 will host until March the photographic exhibition Benicàssim. The Festival; and in the Showcase Project a new exhibition, The Published Image, will focus on four leading publishing houses’ work in the field

Exhibition title: …visibleinvisible

Curator: Octavio Zaya

Cerith Wyn Evans is an essential point of reference in London’s art-scene and his sophisticated work has inspired many artists emerging in the latest generation. His work has been unequivocally conceived and shaped by its critical and historical relation to the possibilities and vicissitudes of film and writing. Its unfamiliar relations between space, light, language and objects, as well as the alluring and blurring nature among them, have been taken from those disciplines. …visibleinvisible, his first solo show in Spain, opens at MUSAC on January 26th.
