Press Release

This exhibition brings together modern and contemporary artists who find their inspiration in the archaic, the cosmic and the mythological as possible scenarios for imagining the future. In contrast to science fiction and technology, in these works the signs that foreshadow the fate of history are the telluric, the material, the ancient and the spiritual. The future is proposed, therefore, as a temporality based on archetypes and universal meanings that are cyclical in art.

Olga de Amaral, Frederic Amat, Kenneth Armitage, Herbert Bayer, Martha Boto, Álvar Carrillo Gil, Eduardo Chillida, Alexandre Estrela, Luis Feito, Mathias Goeritz, Adolph Gottlieb, Juan Guzmán, Barbara Hepworth, Lothar Kestenbaum, Roberto Matta, Joan Miró, Joan Mitchell, Henry Moore, Zoran-Anton Music, Louise Nevelson, Isamu Noguchi, Hiroshi Okada, Gabriel Orozco, Damián Ortega, Irma Palacios, Wolfgang Paalen, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Gio Pomodoro, María Assumpció Raventós, Mark Rothko, Wojciech Sadley, Susana Sierra, Melanie Smith, Pierre Soulages, Fernando de Szyszlo, Kiyoshi Takahashi, Antoni Tàpies, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Mark Tobey.
