Exhibition summary

This exhibition by artist Miren Doiz explores themes of environmental impact, social critique, and the transformation of discarded materials into art. Drawing on her residency at BilbaoArte, the work challenges traditional boundaries of painting by shifting toward sculpture and spatial installation.

Curatorial context

Some Possibilities (Using Rubbish and Simulation) gathers works created by Miren Doiz during her 2024–2025 residency at BilbaoArte. The exhibition investigates the intersection of personal experience and global issues, focusing on themes of social precarity, housing speculation, and the political dimensions of waste generation. By repurposing items salvaged from the street, Doiz creates a dialogue about the environmental cost of consumption and the status of the artist in today's society. The artist’s practice represents a departure from traditional two-dimensional painting toward an expanded, spatial approach that invites viewers to inhabit the work. By stripping down and simplifying the forms of discarded materials, Doiz evokes a process of recycling that emphasizes a critical stance on production and destruction. Her work acts as a form of social and political commentary, using objects as evidence of the challenges inherent in the modern landscape while subverting established artistic conventions.

Admission and ticket notes

Admission to the exhibition is free. Guided tours, performance events, and a book presentation are scheduled throughout the exhibition period, all also offering free admission.
