This first graphic intervention by Maria Medem opens a space for reflection on illustration at the CA2M Museum.

This exhibition—the first monograph dedicated to Dorothy Iannone at a Spanish institution, curated by Tania Pardo—takes its title from the spirit of perseverance and continuity with which the artist approached life and art, and also from her passionate and generous approach to creation. The expression “over and over again” embodies Iannone’s lifelong conception of her work as the draft of a total work. The exhibition itinerary is organised around six thematic sections that invite viewers to explore her creative universe.
Ester Partegàs’s exhibition, conceived jointly for the Museo CA2M of the Autonomous Community of Madrid and Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani in Palma de Mallorca, represents a broad survey of her work over the last three decades.
