The show offered visitors a historical perspective of Fundación Botín‘s collection in the field of the visual arts. It included works by contemporary artists who conducted the Villa Iris Visual Arts Workshops in Santander and by key artists who have been awarded the Visual Arts Scholarship since it was first established in 1993.
It was an exploration on the array of new narratives and contemporary approaches, with works that invite reflection on a complex world marked by mutation, instability, social conflict, political tension and environmental danger, as well as by an unceasing haste that has led to a fragmented perception of reality where the real and the imaginary come increasingly closer together. Art and exhibition spaces are some of the fewer and fewer shelters for the observation and contemplation which critical thinking and understanding are based on.
Bunga presented Intento de conservación (2014), an installation that poses questions on the museum as a space for contemplation and its ways of exhibiting.
