This catalog is published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Aurèlia Muñoz. Beings,' a joint project by the Museo Reina Sofía and the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA). It is dedicated to Aurèlia Muñoz (Barcelona, 1926-2011), a pivotal figure in contemporary textile art. Curated by EINA's cultural research and programming platform, the exhibition spans five decades of the artist's career, taking 'beings' as a key concept in her practice. The publication delves into the exhibition's content, featuring an essay by Manuel Cirauqui on weaving as a generative principle and form of knowledge, an analysis by Rosa Lleó of drawing as a space for the creation of 'beings' and their transition between two- and three-dimensionality, and Sílvia Ventosa Muñoz's examination of Muñoz's material and technical evolution. Additional contributions from ethnographer Ana María Ramo Affonso and media theorist Melody Jue expand the perspective on Muñoz's unique work. The catalog also includes a selection of artworks, archival material, previously unpublished documentation, a chronology, and a bibliography.
