David Goldblatt
No Ulterior Motive
Recoletos Exhibition Hall (Madrid)
The renowned South African photographer David Goldblatt (Randfontein, Union of South Africa, British Empire 1930-Johannesburg, 2018, South Africa) dedicated his life to documenting his country and its people. His photography focused on capturing issues related to South African society and politics, subjects that are essential today for a visual understanding of one of history’s most painful processes: apartheid.
David Goldblatt: No Ulterior Motive, organised in collaboration with the Art Institute of Chicago and the Yale University Art Gallery, is the first exhibition to delve into the connections and dialogues Goldblatt established with other photographers from different geographical and generational backgrounds who, like him, focused on representing the social and environmental changes taking place in their respective countries. Moreover, this ambitious project abounds in rare, old or unpublished material, and is exceptional in that it presents some series in their entirety. For all these reasons, the exhibition is intended as a fitting tribute to David Goldblatt, as well as the beginning of a new chapter in the study of his work.

Consuelo Kanaga
Catch the Spirit
Recoletos Exhibition Hall (Madrid)
Over six decades, American photographer Consuelo Kanaga (Astoria, Oregon, 1894-Yorktown Heights, New York, 1978) captured the social conflicts of her time, from urban poverty to the struggle for workers’ rights, the terror of racial segregation and social inequality. Passionate about social justice, she was one of the few women to become a professional photojournalist, as well as to maintain a close relationship with avant-garde circles in both San Francisco and New York. She mastered various genres such as still life but became especially known for her emotive and introspective social portraits of African Americans.
This exhibition, organised by the Brooklyn Museum in collaboration with Fundación MAPFRE and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, aims to raise awareness of her work, as well as to give the artist her rightful place in the history of photography, which paved the way for many other, especially women photographers, who came after her.
