On view in the museum lobby, The Pudic Relation Between Machine and Plant, 2016, a piece by the New York based Portuguese artist Pedro Neves Marques (Lisbon, 1984), consists of a video made with the King’s College Centre for Robotics Research in which a sensitive plant, a Mimosa Pudica, reacts in contact with a robotic arm, closing every time the cyborg limb touches it.
Little animals, ash trays showcases a number of works that came from this facsimile alongside other prior works which are key to Rometti Costales’ artistic worldview. The project imagines a material and unpredictable choreography that allows materials, gestures, space or time to give shape to the unknown.
Little Animals, Ash Trays reúne una serie de piezas que son esenciales en el imaginario de los artistas, cuya práctica se caracteriza en lo formal en el empleo de técnicas como el collage, el ready-made – objeto encontrado-, y en lo discursivo se adentra en la ficción, en la antropología crítica y las antologías no occidentales.
The work of Jochen Lempert (Germany, 1958) engages with photography from the optic of research and visuality, very often with the intention of questioning the criteria behind a search for the truth and the models that shape the world.
Archivo F.X by the artist Pedro G. Romero (Huelva, 1964) is a collection of documentation “in construction”, comprising more than one thousand images and files that are, on one hand, an archive of images of anticlerical political iconoclasm in Spain and also, on the other, and cast under the same light, a mirror held up to the radical projects of the modern vanguard from Malevich to Rothko, from Dada to the Situationists.
Julia Spínola (Madrid, 1979) develops her practice across the fields of sculpture and drawing. In her works, the continuous references to text and to performance give rise to systems of correspondences that operate as approximations to a single theme based on the relations set in place between figures, objects and movements.

Elements of Vogue. A case study of radical performance is the first exhibition that reviews the history of Afro-American performance in Spain and the first internationally on the history of voguing. The exhibition takes voguing, a popular Afro-Latin and queer dance, as a case study to understand the emergence of the pose as a form of resistance and its ability to articulate new social formations.
La exposición antológica de Itziar Okariz, una de las artistas con mayor reconocimiento y que más ha contribuido al desarrollo de la performance en el contexto español, es una de las muestras más exhaustiva hasta la fecha realizadas a la artista, tras décadas afincada en Nueva York.
