Field of Images
Paolo Gasparini. Field of images presents a complete overview of the long career of this italian-venezuelan photographer (1934). A passionate testimony of social and cultural tensions and changes in Latin America over the last six decades. Along with the extensive anthology of his photographs, the exhibition also offers a careful selection of his photobooks, a means of expression to which Gasparini has always attached special relevance.

Pérez Siquier
Carlos Pérez Siquier (Almería, 1930-2021) was a leading figure in the forging of photographic modernism and the overall professionalisation of photography in Spain. He enjoyed a prominent place on the Spanish scene, firstly for his Neo-realist work and later on as a pioneer of color photography. Pérez Siquier acted from a peripheral position on the sidelines in both of these disciplines, with a unique perspective fully mindful of his own authorship despite having started out with an intuitive understanding of photography that had more to do with that of a passerby than of a portraitist.

Bleda y Rosa
The artistic career of María Bleda and José María Rosa can be seen as one of the most notable within contemporary Spanish photography. Over the course of three decades they have engaged in a unique, authorial practice centring on a consideration of the connections between image, place and memory. The exhibition Bleda y Rosa now being shown at the KBr Fundación MAPFRE in Barcelona is the most extensive retrospective organised to date.

Resonances
Fundación MAPFRE Collections
Resonancias-Colección Fundación MAPFRE [Resonances-Fundación MAPFRE Collection] is articulated as a sort of experimental manifesto. Its objective is to select a series of photographs from Fundación MAPFRE’s collection—which is particularly rich in classic North American authors—and seek out their reverberation in contemporary photographic practices. Thus, the project is not limited to choosing a number of works under certain curatorial criteria, but instead entails pedagogically speculating on the transition from photography to post-photography.
