Rosa Martínez curates 'En el nom del pare' at Museo Picasso Barcelona
Rosa Martínez has curated the exhibition 'En el nom del pare' at the Museo Picasso in Barcelona, running until September 24, 2019. The show reinterprets Picasso's legacy through contemporary artists, with equal numbers of male and female participants. It challenges patriarchal structures and myths of the individual genius, using themes such as war, peace, prostitution, and the Minotaur. Featured artists include Cristina Lucas, Pilar Albarracín, Daniel García Andújar, Santiago Sierra, Eulalia Valldosera, Elo Vega, Rogelio López Cuenca, Tania Berta Judith, Miquel Barceló, and Aurora Carbonell. Works engage directly with Picasso's donations to Barcelona from 1968, including the Las Meninas series, the portrait of Jacqueline, and the group of chicks. The exhibition aims to provoke critical reflection and emotional response, moving beyond traditional interpretations.
