Elena Asins Retrospective at Kutxa Fundazioa Explores Computational Art Pioneer's Legacy

Kutxa Fundazioa presents 'Estructura, espacio, tiempo,' a comprehensive exhibition examining the work of Spanish artist Elena Asins from February 27 to May 24, 2026. Curated by Juan Pablo Huercanos in collaboration with Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the show features over 100 projects spanning drawings, paintings, sculptures, books, audiovisual pieces, and installations. Asins, born in Madrid in 1940 and who died in Azpirotz in 2015, pioneered computer-based creation by integrating calculation theory and algorithms into her practice. Her artistic journey, documented from 1968 through early 21st-century works, merges 20th-century constructivist traditions with 1960s computing and information theory, intersecting Op Art and minimalism. The exhibition highlights her role as a foundational figure in computational art and modern geometric abstraction. Kutxa Fundazioa aims to increase visibility for artists connected to the Basque context and offer fresh perspectives on established careers through this retrospective at its Kubo venue in Donostia/San Sebastián.
