This exhibition by Manuel Antonio Domínguez, titled 'La relación estable' (The Stable Relationship), analyzes collective understandings and the construction of male roles. The artist uses imagery to question preconceived notions of masculinity and femininity, revealing unexpected facets of these roles.
The exhibition 'La relación estable' by Manuel Antonio Domínguez (born 1976) is the XIII edition of the 'Conexiones' program, a collaboration between Museo ABC and Fundación Banco Santander that supports contemporary art creation. Domínguez's work focuses on the 'gender discourse,' critically examining how collective understanding, construction, and valuation of men's roles are perceived. The title, 'La relación estable,' alludes to the preconceived ideas we hold about things, which the exhibition aims to destabilize. The artist questions whether men are what they appear to be and if their actions align with these appearances. Through his art, Domínguez reveals unexpected facets of stereotyped masculinity and femininity. For this project, Domínguez selected a pair of Rococo-style busts from the Manufactura de Alcora (circa 1750) from the Fundación Banco Santander's collection, ironically referencing his past pseudonym 'El Hombre Sin Cabeza' (The Headless Man). He also chose two covers from the 'Blanco y Negro' magazine from the 1930s, created by Hipólito Hidalgo de Caviedes and Abelardo Parrilla Candela, featuring men and women as absolute protagonists. This selection forms the basis for his exploration of gender representation and perception.
