Two new exhibitions: Maruja Mallo and Juan Uslé, and an interview with Luis López Carrasco on La Favorita

 

December 2025

 

 

Exhibition   Maruja Mallo Mask and Compass   Until 16 mar 2026   Maruja Mallo (Ana María Gómez González, Viveiro, 1902 - Madrid, 1995) was one of the great Spanish artists of the 20th-century and a leading figure among the 'Generation of 27'. She was a visionary artist who managed to reflect the concerns of her time while also anticipating many of our current preoccupations. Mallo's personal and heterogeneous artistic production blurs the boundaries between the popular and the avant-garde, between aesthetics and politics.

 

 

Exhibition   Juan Uslé That Ship on the Mountain   Until 28 Apr 2026   That Ship on the Mountain is a major retrospective exhibition celebrating the more than forty-year career of Juan Uslé (Santander, 1954), one of Spain's most internationally renowned artists. This show comes twenty years after Open Rooms, Uslé's first solo exhibition at the Museo Reina Sofía.

 

 

Video   La Favorita Luis López Carrasco on Neighbourhood Youth, by Video-Nou/Servei de Vídeo Comunitari   This interview sees film-maker and writer Luis López Carrasco (Murcia, 1981) discuss the documentary film Los jóvenes de barrio (Neighbourhood Youth, 1982), by the Video-Nou/Servei de Vídeo Comunitari collective (Barcelona, 1977–1983).  This interview is part of La Favorita, a project which invites public figures to choose their favourite work from the Museo Reina Sofía Collections and share their personal history around it.
