Curatorial context

The exhibition 'AGUA. Memoria líquida' (WATER. Liquid Memory) draws attention to the critical importance of water, a universal right and a fundamental element for life, communities, and ecosystems. The exhibition posits that while the physical cycle of water on Earth is closed, its distribution and circulation are increasingly modified, leading to social and territorial conflicts. With a growing global population and escalating industrial and leisure demands, the pressure on this vital resource intensifies. Through an aesthetic lens, the exhibition offers an emotional journey, showcasing over 100 works from the ABC Collection. These artworks present lyrical, realistic, humorous, and evocative images of water in its myriad forms – from storms and seascapes to everyday scenes like a glass of fresh water or a washbasin. By drawing inspiration from water's constant presence in art, literature, and music, the exhibition aims to underscore that despite its seeming abundance, water is a precious resource that requires careful stewardship and sustainable management for future generations.

Admission and ticket notes

The admission price for the exhibition is €1. Visitors should note that the daily opening hours are Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 2 PM, and these hours are subject to availability due to event organization.
