Through it, Grenadine draws an exhibition tour that explores women’s figures in art history, in the imagery, but also in the sacred story from their biography and personal experience, with a local perspective that seeks Breaking the patriarchal silence that has relegated them to the background.

Both disrupted the background and the figure, and focused on a project that, on their pictorial strategies, served as camouflage. From the Pinacoteca they have defined it as to some extent “autobiographical” for two authors who worked on repetition, seriality and abstractization as a way to find a place in the world that they had to live.

Trend towards contemporary art
Guillermo Solana, director of the center, explained that, for several decades, there is a trend of museums towards contemporary art, citing as examples the Louvre and the Metropolitan of New York. “Contemporary artists are the best mediators between modern and ancient art. Those who can best communicate the art of the past, the ones that best understand it, ”he described. For the person responsible, his pieces are fundamental to show the general public that contemporary art “is not coconut.”
“For much of people, it has become something fearsome, dark, hermetic. Our effort is to show the general audience that contemporary art is much more plural and varied than it is usually imagined. Many works will interest those who come to look for the usual teachers, ”he has shared. In Thyssen’s commitment, he will continue to be closer to younger visitors, so that they do not find “a distant institution.”
It will also be on the radar to work around colonial memory, as they did last year with the exhibition that took the same name, and that explained how the collective imaginary to which the history of art has contributed determines our present. The director Guillermo Solana has advanced that a project on animalisms has pending, in which he will explore the role of animals within the collection.
