$Contour Series | EUROPALIA ESPA\u00d1A: Iv\u00e1n Zulueta, Through the Looking-Glass$

As part of EUROPALIA ESPAÑA, 'Iván Zulueta, Through the Looking-Glass' celebrates the multifaceted oeuvre of Iván Zulueta, one of Spain's most visionary and influential artists. It also features works by Marta Azparren, Esperanza Collado, Julio Linares and Beatriz Lobo.
This exhibition marks the first major solo presentation of Zulueta's work outside of Spain, offering a unique opportunity for international audiences to engage with his groundbreaking artistic contributions. It features a thoughtful dialogue with the work of four contemporary Spanish artists: their artistic interventions for the exhibition deeply resonate with Zulueta’s practice.
Best known for his 1979 cult film 'Arrebato', Iván Zulueta (1943–2009) was far more than a filmmaker. His work spanned a diverse array of media, including graphic design, experimental films, photography, television and painting. Rooted in the countercultural movements of the 1960s-1970s, his art merges avant-garde aesthetics with personal obsessions, establishing him as one of the most innovative figures in 20th-century Spanish art.
'Iván Zulueta, Through the Looking-Glass' offers a rare opportunity to engage with the work of a true iconoclast, while situating it within a broader cultural context that bridges generations, disciplines, and artistic practices.
