María Xosé Fernández Iglesias Presents 'VE Y VE' Exhibition at Sala de Arte El Brocense

The Sala de Arte El Brocense in Cáceres is hosting 'VE Y VE,' a solo exhibition by artist María Xosé Fernández Iglesias from March 26 to May 2, 2026. The show explores themes of perception, viewpoint, and reality construction through a two-part installation. The ground floor features colorful, sensory works created specifically for this presentation, described as a 'solar floor' with playful elements. The upper level displays monochromatic pieces from previous series including 'Vanitas,' 'Vórtice,' and 'Norte,' emphasizing analytical and critical dimensions. Fernández Iglesias employs altered books and encyclopedias as primary materials, manipulating paper through cutting, layering, and perforation to challenge established knowledge systems. Born in 1961, the artist has maintained an active contemporary art practice since the 1980s, working across installation, sculpture, drawing, and spatial intervention. Her career includes solo exhibitions at institutions like Museo Liste in Vigo, Cidade da Cultura in Santiago de Compostela, and Pazo Torrado in Cambados, along with numerous group shows nationally and internationally. Recent recognitions include the Cultiva Cultura Prize from Pontevedra's provincial government and an acquisition award from the Isaac Díaz Pardo Competition in A Coruña. The exhibition title plays with Spanish homophones suggesting both 'see' and 'go,' encouraging viewers to reflect on how observation occurs and from what perspective. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 21:00 at Calle San Antón 17 in Cáceres, with free admission.
