This exhibition presents a reimagining of Picasso's monumental icon by the Malaga-born artist Julio Anaya Cabanding. Created from 18 assembled pieces of repurposed cardboard, the work serves as a dialogue between the artist and his hometown's most famous painter.
In this exhibition, Julio Anaya Cabanding continues his tradition of engaging with art history by creating a tribute to Pablo Picasso. Originally produced in 2023 for an exhibition in Tokyo, this version of Guernica highlights the artist's unique approach to visual culture, where he treats art historical masterpieces and popular imagery with equal weight, challenging traditional hierarchies in the museum space. The installation is constructed from 18 recovered cardboard panels, a medium that underscores the artist’s interest in ephemeral and discarded materials. This materiality echoes the historical dialogue between high art and the 'found object,' while physically manifesting the image into a tactile object. By bringing this piece to Malaga, the artist deepens his connection to his roots, exploring the emotional and historical cartography that links him to the legacy of Picasso.
The exhibition is hosted at the Coleccion del Museo Ruso Malaga. Please check the museum's official website for visitor admission details and opening hours before planning your visit.
