Exhibition programme 2022

IVAM’s programme for 2022 includes a series of exhibitions, activities and public programmes that recover the movement of history, operate from feminisms, offer new approaches to the popular, and study contexts, both close at hand and far removed, that affect us in equal manner.

IVAM will take a new look at the historic avant-gardes with exhibitions dedicated to Josef and Anni Albers, or a new rereading of the museum’s holdings of Julio González. Likewise, the postwar era in Spain and Europe as a whole will be analysed from the optic of the IVAM collection, through the exhibition Art in a Wasteland (1939-1959), and also through the new concepts broached in the fifties and sixties by artists like Asger Jorn or the members of the ZERO group. Similarly, we will also be surveying the work of the Spanish artist Jordi Teixidor.

Contemporary art will be addressed from various angles, thanks to pioneering artists like Anna Boghiguian, a key figure for a rethinking of recent history; Carmen Calvo, the winner of the Julio González Prize 2022; Teresa Lanceta, who uses fabric as her working material; or Zanele Muholi, a photographer and activist for the rights of the LGTBIQ community. And also to young artists with rigorous practices, like Mar Arza or Ana Penyas, who, together with Alba Herrero, are undertaking social and graphic research into domestic labour. Finally, the exhibition Ruta gráfica explores the recent past and phenomena like the so-called ruta del bakalao, Valencia’s 80s-early 90s rave scene, reminding us of the designs that defined the image of a whole era.
