Legacies and Creation: "Contemporary Art. Visual Artists"

September 27, 2024. The Alicantino Institute of Culture Juan Gil-Albert will celebrate on September 27 at the MACA, the second panel within the Legacies and Creation conference, under the title "Contemporary Art. Visual Artists". The precariousness and lack of resources of artists, especially older ones, and the safeguarding of their legacies is the main topic on this occasion. We will try to understand this problem firsthand through the contributions of artist, museum and gallery, and to learn about possible solutions given the widespread abandonment at the state level.

The panel will be composed of Eva Lootz, a visual artist who recently donated part of her work to the National Museum Reina Sofía Art Center; José de la Mano is a gallery owner who has been working for some years with the estates of national and international artists; and Raquel Gómez del Val, who is responsible for the Department of Artwork Registration at the National Reina Sofía Art Center Museum. They are exceptional guests who, through their testimonies, will give us the opportunity to learn about examples that will serve as reference and will surely be inspiring.
