Welcome to Madrid

The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum presents this small format solo exhibition by the artist from Valencia, Ana Esteve Reig (Agres, 1986), within the Kora exhibition series with a gender perspective. The exhibition can be seen from 30 January until 23 April in the exhibition hall on the 1st Floor and in Rooms 19, 20 and 21, in dialogue with other works from the Permanent Collection.

In this exhibition, curated by Semíramis González, the artist, Ana Esteve Reig, addresses issues such as identity and its construction, the importance of images in that process, and the elements that culturally configure people to make them the way they are, in a series of audiovisual pieces.

The stages are possible places, neither entirely real nor invented, and anything might happen in them.  Music, internet, social media, human relationships and what generates them are some of the themes analysed in the different projects presented, in which the characters move freely between different identities, aesthetics and realities in an ongoing process of construction.
