Toledo City Hall and ACCIONA Living & Culture launched the exhibition titled “Fragmented Gazes. Spanish 21^st-century artists”, on display at the San Marcos Cultural Center.

This exhibition shows for the first time some of the most relevant works of the HEF Collection, considered one of the most comprehensive collections of Spanish contemporary art.

Some of the most relevant works on display are Tableux Flotant (1985) by Miquel Barceló, Gentlemen’s Neurosis (2007) by Luis Gordillo, Tres personajes. Asunto de celos (1980) by Chema Cobo and Cannula (2015) by Daniel Canogar.

The exhibition also brings together other pictorial and sculptural works by outstanding artists such as Juan Genovés, famous for his figurative paintings; Secundino Hernández, one of the most international artists of his generation; Jaume Plensa, a multifaceted plastic artist; Manolo Valdés, recognized for work that includes paintings, sculptures and engravings; and Isabel Muñoz, a world-renowned photographer.

In total, the exhibition will display 60 works, each of which becomes a link in a creative chain, where past and present converge, revealing a continuous exchange of ideas, techniques and visions that enrich the contemporary art scene.

We have been in charge of curating, designing and producing the exhibition, seeking to make the exhibition space count, so that it structures the visit and prepares the visitor’s gaze. The arrangement of the works in this space is based on the order in which they were added to the collection, with a visual and compositional interplay between the works when observed together.

Diana Jusdado, architect, museographer and head of design at ACCIONA Living & Culture, explains that “the aim of the exhibition is not to draw a chronological timeline, but to form connections between generations of artists, exploring the influences, techniques and visions that enhance the current art scene.”

The exhibition, like all ACCIONA Living & Culture shows, is carbon neutral and accessible for people with disabilities.
