“En el aire conmovido...” exhibition

Conceived by the philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman, this exhibition is far more than a tour of works of art: it is a journey to the heart of emotions, to that invisible space —between the work and the person looking at it— where something mysterious, vibrant, almost magical happens. Something Federico García Lorca called duende.

About this event

Conceived by the philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman, this exhibition is far more than a tour of works of art: it is a journey to the heart of emotions, to that invisible space —between the work and the person looking at it— where something mysterious, vibrant, almost magical happens. Something Federico García Lorca called duende.

Inspired by a line from his Romancero gitano, En el aire conmovido… brings together more than three hundred works by essential artists —Goya, Dalí, Miró, Picasso, Giacometti, Lorca, Rodin, Pasolini, among others— to explore an essential question: how do images move us? What happens to us when a face, a gesture, a word or an object touches us beyond reason?

The exhibition passes through the wonder of children, the wounds of history, the trembling of the body and voice, the suspended time of poetry and art. It is a game of free associations, a map of emotions that cross and spread.

But it is also an invitation to pause amid the visual noise that surrounds us. To look in another way. To let ourselves be moved. Because in that “stirred air” that Lorca sensed, what makes art unique happens: we do not only see it… we feel it.
