Tuan Andrew Nguyen and Henri Matisse: Joan Miró Foundation's 2024 program
Joan Miró Collection returns in March after Miró-Picasso exhibition concludes
The Joan Miró Foundation unveiled its 2024 exhibition and activities program on Thursday, including the return of the Joan Miró Collection from March.
The works on display from the permanent collection will highlight various aspects of Miró's creative process, such as land, poetry, materials or signs, when the current joint Miró-Picasso exhibition concludes.
Two temporary exhibtions also stand out: Tuan Andrew Nguyen's first solo exhibition in Spain, and 'MiróMatisse: beyond the images', organized jointly with the Musée Matisse in Nice, France.
From December 21, 2023, until March 19, 2024, visitors can also see '12 wooden panels and 52 miscellaneous pieces,' an exhibition of sketches and documents from Miró's archive, made with support from the Vila Casas Foundation.
Sculptures from bombs
In spring, the foundation hosts the first individual exhibition in Spain by the Vietnamese-American artist, Tuan Andrew Nguyen (born Saigon, 1976), winner of the eighth edition of the Joan Miró Prize.
The exhibition will include video installations and a selection of his sculptures made from bombs and artillery shells used during the Vietnam War.
Curated by Martina Millà, it will be run from May 10 to September 24, 2024.
Miró and Matisse
In the autumn, after first being displayed at the Musée Matisse in Nice, the foundation will welcome the exhibition 'MiróMatisse: Beyond images,' curated by Rémi Labrusse.
The exhibition will question stereotypes and highlight similarities and connections between Miró and Henri Matisse, despite differences in era and artistic styles.
It can be seen from October 24, 2024 to February 9, 2025.
Emerging artists
The foundation will continue to support emerging artists.
From February, Espai 13 – which celebrates its forty-fifth anniversary this year – will present the new series 'We will accompany you when it gets dark,' curated by Irina Mutt and featuring works from Alba Mayol, Inari Sandell, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley and Helena Vinent.
