La transición estética. España, 1960-2020

An exhibition at the Fundación Juan March that surveys Spanish art of the last six decades through painting, sculpture, drawing, installation and audiovisual media, taking its title, La transición estética, as its thread.

La transición estética. España, 1960-2020 brings together works of painting, sculpture, drawing, installation and audiovisual media that trace the evolution of Spanish creativity over six decades. The approach brings ruptures, continuities and formal experiments into play, and does not follow a strictly chronological order.

The route also pauses to reflect on the exhibition itself: what role the museum plays in showing works, and how the act of exhibiting has changed over time. Each room poses questions about the aesthetic tensions that have shaped artistic production in Spain since the 1960s.

The Fundación Juan March, a Madrid space dedicated to exhibitions and cultural activities, hosts the project. It is a visit designed for anyone interested in contemporary art who wants to see how artists have responded to the social, political and cultural changes of this period, building their own languages out of specific contexts.
