Curatorial context

The exhibition 'SANDRA FURMAN, PRORROGADA HASTA EL 28 DE MAYO' delves into the profound connection between nature and everyday objects, as interpreted through the artistic lens of Sandra Furman. Furman's creations challenge perceptions by manipulating dimensions and generating fictional or dreamlike scenarios, particularly in relation to her chosen medium of glass. The exhibition text draws inspiration from Donna Haraway's concept of 'embodied, partial, and responsible vision,' encouraging a re-evaluation of how we perceive and interpret the world. The artist's work focuses on roots as a primary, foundational element, linking them to various materialities and strengthening the concept of an anchorage. She examines how nature invades ordinary items, moving beyond romantic contemplation to understand it as a point of origin. Furman rescues common elements, seeking their cause and transforming them into miniatures within generated universes. These 'micro-stories' and mini-installations invite visitors to connect with their own roots and the significance of the seemingly trivial, highlighting the sensitivity of genuine expression and the organic in opposition to the rigidity of glass.

Admission and ticket notes

The exhibition has been extended until May 28th. For ticketing and admission details, please refer to the official museum website.
