Through a wide selection of artists and works from the MUSAC Collection, this exhibition seeks to explore the connections and relationships that contemporary art establishes when the vocabulary it employs in its creation reveals a process of creativity. It does so through two distinct groups: on the one hand, a selection of pieces whose formal austerity and economy of means contrast with their poetic reflectiveness; and on the other, several works in which the close relationship between subject matter and artistic language captivates the viewer’s attention. 

As part of the exhibition, four artists whose works are not part of the MUSAC Collection—two of whom are from the Castille and León region—have been invited to take part in the project. This invitation will take shape through activities and exhibited works, presented throughout the duration of the exhibition.
