Exhibitions

  • Spiders from Mars

    By on

    Apocryphally, in 1968, David Bowie conceived of Ziggy Stardust, his androgynous alien alter ego, after attending a screening of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. In Kubrick’s film, science-fiction is an existential meditation on the limits of reason and experience, a journey to the outermost reaches of the universe in which we find ourselves confronted with the alien irrationality of our own orienting contradictions.  Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust gives these existential conflicts a throbbing pulse, marrying the cosmic ruminations in Kubrick’s film to the subversive power and alien strangeness of adolescent sexuality in Rock and Roll: as an uncanny figure of the future, an avatar of what’s to come.

  • Depth of FIeld: Laida Lertxundi

    By on

    Although only timidly exhibited in Spanish circuits, Laida Lertxundi (1981, Bilbao), has forged an important international career. Her works, which she records on 16-millimetre films, combine conceptual rigour with sensory pleasure to suggest seductive and self-reflective explorations of the environments in which she works. With this exhibition, the programme begins its support of the production of her work, thanks to which Lertxundi has created the work Day Time which will be projected for the first time during her exhibition in Matadero.

  • Pat O'Neill: Three Answers

    By on

    A pioneer of experimental cinema, the Los Angeles artist Pat O’Neill developed innovative techniques for radically altering imagery in the predigital era.

In recent years, O’Neill has reworked several of his early films into multiple projections.
