The exhibition revisits the Fundación Colección ABC's commitment to contemporary drawing, featuring a visual reportage on the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean.
The Fundación Colección ABC revives its contemporary drawing projects with 'SARA QUINTERO. EN LOS MÁRGENES'. Sara Quintero (Madrid, 1971) utilizes imagery, techniques, and styles associated with past art movements to address pressing political and social issues of today, imbuing her work with profound critical content. Her pieces are simultaneously beautiful and disquieting, demanding an ethical and positional response from the viewer rather than mere aesthetic appreciation or cultural recognition of her artistic citations. Quintero's drawing process involves deconstructing and digitally mixing images from art history before intervening by hand on paper to complete the work. For this exhibition, she has created a visual reportage on the migrant tragedy occurring on Mediterranean shores, fusing documentary aspects and journalistic language with the epic and idealized vision of death and shipwreck from tradition. She presents raw information and data through myth, legend, or epic narratives, prompting reflection on our collective ability to confront seemingly inevitable destinies and the ambiguous nature of graphic records in constructing historical narratives. The exhibition also draws from the Colección ABC's archives, incorporating modernist decorative friezes, Civil War posters, and old sketches and war maps.
Admission to the exhibition is free. Group visits are free and require prior contact and assignment of a day and time by the Museo ABC. Specific guided tours may require advance booking.
