Contemporary Art and Photography Exhibition by Mona Kuhn at MUCAC La Coracha

This exhibition is the first monographic show in a Spanish museum dedicated to the work of acclaimed American photographer Mona Kuhn. It brings together approximately 45 images captured between 2004 and 2018, exploring the human body as a site of intimacy and vulnerability through light, transparency, and soft focus.

Mona Kuhn. And your nude will be a great poem presents a carefully curated selection of approximately 45 photographs that trace the evolution of Kuhn’s visual language. By moving beyond traditional portraiture, the exhibition highlights the artist's use of light, blurred focus, and transparency as poetic tools to investigate themes of memory, perception, and the human condition. The works are drawn from various series created between 2004 and 2018, offering an immersive look at how the artist frames the human form in dialogue with natural and architectural environments. Kuhn is widely recognized for her ability to create atmospheres of profound relaxation and trust, often collaborating with non-professional models—friends and acquaintances—to capture the body with sensitivity. Influenced by figurative painters like Lucian Freud and Georgia O’Keeffe, her work seeks to reconcile the vulnerability of the nude with the beauty of the surrounding landscape. This monographic presentation, curated by Salvador Nadales, offers visitors a rare opportunity to engage with the artist's persistent exploration of intimacy and the poetic resonance found in the human figure.

Admission to MUCAC La Coracha is free. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 20:00.
