Nothing, Like Something, Happens Anywhere: MUSAC Collection
March 29, 2025February 8, 2026
Through a selection of 35 artists and 40 works from the MUSAC Collection, this exhibition curated by Mariano Mayer seeks to explore the connections and relationships that contemporary art establishes when the vocabulary it employs in its creation reveals a process of creativity.
It does so through two distinct groups: on the one hand, a selection of pieces whose formal austerity and economy of means contrast with their poetic reflectiveness; and on the other, several works in which the close relationship between subject matter and artistic language captivates the viewers attention. Artistic action resonates in the verse by Philip Larkin that inspired the exhibitions title: Nothing, like something, happens anywhere.
Studio DRIFT
June 14October 19 2025
Studio DRIFT, founded by Dutch artists Lonneke Gordijn (1980) and Ralph Nauta (1978) in 2007, is known for its installations, kinetic sculptures and performances that explore the sensitive relationship between nature, technology and mankind. For MUSAC, DRIFT presents two of their most well known kinetic sculptures: Meadow and Amplitude.
Meadow is an upside-down landscape that is a kinetic sculpture consisting of mechanical flowers that open and close in a poetic choreography. The installation suggests the impermanence of the ever-changing seasons and the sensational character of natural growth processes. Amplitude is a moving installation that re-connects the audience with nature by getting them on the same frequency.
Secundino Hernández: Total Season
June 14October 19 2025
Estación total (Total Season) offers a journey through the monumental works created by painter Secundino Hernández (Madrid, Spain, 1975) over the past decade. Taking inspiration from Juan Ramón Jiménezs poem La estación total (The Total Season), the exhibition, curated by MUSAC Director Álvaro Rodríguez Fominaya, features a range of works that reflect diverse approaches to the pictorial phenomenon, from the artists subtractions with a mechanical process to his stitchings.
Hernández delves into the historical roots of abstraction, with a process akin to that of an archaeologistbringing underlying layers to the surface through physical methods and cutting into the canvases that form the base of his works.
Luis Moro: El bramido de la tierra
June 14October 19 2025
El bramido de la tierra (The Roar of the Earth) is a solo show by visual artist Luis Moro (Segovia, Spain, 1969), conceived for MUSAC and curated by Fernando Castro Flórez. The exhibition presents large-format paintings alongside drawings and process-based materials. If in some of his actions Luis Moro has literally sent out an S.O.S. message, he now unveils an extraordinary fauna that calls for a less aggressive attitude towards the world we share. What must be saved is the soul of the world, that creature which Moro links to the anima.
Yoko Ono: Insound and Instructure
November 8 2025May 17 2026
The 2025 program will be completed starting on November 8 with Insound and Instructure, the most extensive exhibition of Yoko Onos (Tokyo, 1933) work in Spain in a decade. This exhibition celebrates one of the pioneering figures of conceptual art and performance, who was associated with the Fluxus movement during the 1950s and 1960s.
Works such as Doors and Parts of a Lighthouse will be central elements in a project curated by Jon Hendricks and Álvaro Rodríguez Fominaya, bringing together seven decades of Onos production.
