exhibition · 2026-03-20

An exhibition titled 'Pliegue y proceso' featuring the work of Spanish artist Esther Ferrer is currently on view at the Museo Casa de la Moneda in Madrid. Curated by Beatriz Martínez Hijazo, the show runs from December 16, 2025, to April 12, 2026. Ferrer, a pioneer of performance art in Spain and a 2024 recipient of the Tomás Francisco Prieto award, presents a non-chronological survey of her multidisciplinary practice, which includes performance, installation, photography, and conceptual works. The exhibition highlights her use of time, repetition, and mathematical systems like prime numbers, as seen in series such as 'Poema de los números primos' and the installation 'Pi'. Ferrer was a member of the ZAJ group, alongside Walter Marchetti, Ramón Barce, and Juan Hidalgo, and her work is influenced by John Cage and Fluxus. The show also addresses feminist themes in her practice.
