Igshaan Adams: Levantando el polvo at Guggenheim Bilbao

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is hosting a solo exhibition titled 'Levantando el polvo. El archivo del cuerpo' (Raising the Dust. The Archive of the Body) by South African artist Igshaan Adams, which will be on display until November 1, 2026. This immersive exhibition reimagines the galleries through a fusion of painting, weaving, sculpture, and installation, utilizing materials such as ropes, threads, beads, fabric, wood, and metal. It delves into themes surrounding bodies, memories, and everyday journeys, drawing from Adams's cultural background and personal experiences. The show includes monotypes created during 2024 performances in Athens featuring South African and Greek dancers, leading to the creation of monumental tapestries. Curated by the Guggenheim Bilbao, it encourages visitors to appreciate the intricate details of contemporary art's evolving narrative.
