Experience the To Open Eyes Modern and Contemporary Art Exhibition at Centre Pompidou Málaga

This exhibition explores how artists transform our perception of art, society, and the world by encouraging viewers to look beyond conventional boundaries. Through a non-chronological structure of thematic sections, it highlights the diversity of the Centre Pompidou’s collections, bridging 20th and 21st-century art with contemporary creative challenges.

To Open Eyes is a free-flowing journey that offers a panoramic view of the major movements and ruptures that have shaped the art history of the 20th and 21st centuries. The exhibition is structured not chronologically, but through visual, formal, and thematic rhymes, revealing affinities between works across a wide variety of media, periods, and creative contexts. It draws from the rich and diverse collections of the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris to examine how artists invite us to shift our perspective and transform our relationship with the world. The exhibition is organized into several key thematic sections, including 'Icons/Signs,' which explores minimal and conceptual art; 'Bodies/Colors,' which focuses on the human body and ecofeminist considerations; and 'Gestures/Traces,' which highlights the role of performance art. Further sections such as 'Spiritualities/Syncretisms,' 'Fictions/Projections,' and 'Spaces/Revelations' delve into the hybridization of tradition and modernity, utopian visions of the future, and the relationship between the viewer and the gallery space. By bringing together works that reflect on history, spirituality, and the environment, the exhibition acts as a comprehensive lens through which to view contemporary challenges and historical legacies.

Visitors can access the exhibition by purchasing general admission tickets to the museum. Further information regarding booking and tickets is available through the official Centre Pompidou Málaga website and at the museum entrance.
