The museum presents an exhibition on the importance that art had in the work of one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, Marcel Proust (Auteuil, 1871 - Paris, 1922), recognized in both literature and philosophy and art theory. The aesthetic ideas that Proust develops in his work, the artistic, monumental and landscape environments that surrounded him and that he recreates in his books, as well as the contemporary artists or the past that served as a stimulus are some of the aspects that articulate the tour of the exhibition. The aim is to highlight this link and the interrelation between art and its figure, its life and its work. To understand Proust it is important to know the Paris in which he lived, that is, the cosmopolitan and rich capital of the Third Republic, his great transformation after the urban reforms of Baron Hausmann, with the appearance of electricity, cars, shows, restaurants and cafes. Proust was fascinated not only by the arts, but of that modernity so booming in the late 19th century. The image of the modern that the Impressionist painters created through their representation of the streets and other environments of Paris is at the basis of the propolitan aesthetic: all this would mark his biography and also his writings.

The museum presents a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Ayako Rokkaku (Tokyo, 1982) that traces her artistic evolution through thirty early and recent works, including paintings, sculptures and installations. The exhibition, part of the programme of shows devoted to the Blanca and Borja Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, reveals a universe in constant transformation, where past and present intermingle, and where paradise is not a destination, but a fleeting sensation, just beyond reach yet always within feeling.

A Life in a Few Lines marks the first major European retrospective of the Lebanese-born artist Huguette Caland (Beirut, 1931–2019), whose life and work spanned decades, continents and media, challenging the aesthetic and social conventions of her time. Featuring approximately 300 drawings, paintings, sculptures and work in other media, as well as documentary ephemera, the exhibition weaves a new narrative around Caland’s practice, questioning perceptions of her cosmopolitan rootlessness to show an artist deeply connected to community, communication and the idea of home. It also reveals her defiance of social and sexual norms in work that explores notions of gender, the body, belonging, love, aging and personhood, all of which is set against the broader geopolitical currents of a decolonising and neoliberalising world.

Hello Everyone is a large-scale installation that brings together works by Léa Estrucci (Barcelona, ​​1981) from 2011 to the present day. These works incorporate formal variations, constituting a fragmented and echoing archive that includes sculptures, sounds, moving images, graphic works and visual scores. Overall, it can be seen as both a retrospective and a navigable warehouse.

The exhibition “Reencountering Néstor” seeks to retrospectively reinterpret the image of Néstor Martín-Fernández de la Torre (Las Palmas, 1887-1938), an artist from the Canary Islands with a wide range of interests. From paintings and murals to theatre sets and costumes by such notable figures as Manuel de Falla and Antonia Mercé y Luque, La Argentina, the exhibition features more than 100 works that are relatively unknown outside the island.

This anthological exhibition on Marisa González (Bilbao, 1943) surveys the artist’s career after she was awarded the Velázquez Prize in 2023. A series of works from the 1970s, made in the Department of Generative Systems from the School of the Art Institute de Chicago, foretells of the artist’s early and sustained interest in communication and image reproduction technology, a concern what would situate González at the forefront of such experimentation in Spain. Some years later, she would in fact participate in Procesos (Processes), a 1986 exhibition that opened the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and explored the intersections between culture and new technology. Moreover, the subject matter explored in some of her earlier works (images related to violence against women, revisions of maternity, etc.) have granted the artist a position in recent research on feminist genealogies in Spanish art.

Terrafilia, a term that combines Terra (Earth) with filia (love and friendship), expresses a deep connection of affection, care and responsibility to the Earth and its countless inhabitants. Loving the Earth involves engaging with animals, plants, geological formations and supernatural creatures, as well as rethinking the place of humanity within the complex and tangled network of life. Faced with the growing pressures of global warming, loss of biodiversity and growing inequalities, this exhibition uses art to imagine and orient visitors towards transformative ways of being-in-the-world, mobilizing affinity between species, new types of collectivities and planetary care. Organized in collaboration with TBA21-Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Terrafilia brings together about a hundred works covering five centuries of the Thyssen-Bornemisza, Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza and Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, including artists such as Joachim Patinir, Wassily Kandisnky, Natalia Goncharova, Dineo Seshee Bopape, Ins Zenha, Ayrson Heraclito and Hervé Yamguen. These works present an evocative spectrum of artistic and intellectual explorations, revealing the depth and scope of stories beyond the human and imaginary multi-species. Resisting the entrenched dualism of modern cosmology, based on the separation between the social and the natural, the exhibition invites visitors, through the lens of artists from various generations and traditions, to meet the world as a multiverse: a world of many worlds. Terrafilia also marks a decisive shift away from anthropocentric and western-centric perspectives, embracing an emerging planetary policy. In doing so, it aligns with recent philosophical, anthropological, ethical and legal twists that advocate the recognition of non-human life and biological and geological entities as participants of a planetary multitude. Structured into seven interconnected scenarios, the exhibition addresses topics such as cosmograms, animated worlds, the art of dreams, objectivity, relations with the earth, mythical times and ocean cosmogonies. These thematic currents guide visitors through different ways of relating to the Earth - through myth, science, dreams, stories, spirituality and ecology, while critically questioning the stories of colonial expansion, resource extraction and ecological violence that have shaped the current planetary crisis.

The Palacio de Cristal has traditionally been a space where artists are commissioned to work on a new piece conceived specifically for its unique architecture. Although the restoration and repair work currently being carried out on its structure means visitors cannot access its interior, the programme held within to support the public display of current art continues all the same. In fact, it is the radical imagination of artists that will enable the Museo Reina Sofía to continue to endow this emblematic space with cultural content. The first such artist to take part in this series is Miguel Ángel Tornero (Baeza, 1978), who contributes with a work devised for the canvases which will cover the building during its first year of restoration work.

The work of Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa (Guatemala City, Guatemala, 1978) fuses sculptural installation, video and performance to open a reflection on his own biography and on his country’s turbulent history, marked by different forms of violence and armed conflict. Ramírez-Figueroa’s practice draws from Latin American political activism and experimental theatre, calling into question established and entrenched narratives which have emerged on specific episodes in the recent past. Through the physicality of bodies and staged environments that envisage fantasy and reality, the artist revisits his own traumas and those of a country shaped by colonial extractivism, civil war and the social imbalance of the Indigenous population.

The museum is presenting a selection of around fifty collages by the film director and screenwriter Isabel Coixet (born 1960). Curated by Estrella de Diego, the exhibition is part of the PhotoEspaña 2025 programme. Isabel Coixet has been working for years on collages made from paper and photographs that are reminiscent of the preparatory shots employed by some Hollywood directors, who left nothing to chance. There is a continuity between what Coixet demands from the viewer in her films and the narrative place in which her collages locate visitors to the exhibition. These are works that connect with the great avant-garde tradition of this art form - from Hanna Höch to Kurt Schwitters - and also associate Coixet with a certain precariousness, with a way of working with little which she also pursues in her films.

Terraphilia —a term combining Terra (Earth) with philia (love and friendship)— expresses a deep-rooted connection of affect, care, and responsibility toward the Earth and its multitudes of inhabitants. To love the Earth is to pledge allegiance to animals, plants, geological formations, and supernatural creatures, as well as to rethink humanity’s place within the complex, interwoven web of life. In the face of the mounting pressures of planetary heating, biodiversity loss, and increasing inequalities, the exhibition turns to art to envision and orient us toward transformative ways of being in the world, mobilizing interspecies kinship, new kinds of collectivities, and planetary care.

Every year, Madrid hosts a military parade to mark Spain's National Day, a day that honors the expansion of Spanish culture and language beyond the European continent. The Armed Forces, Civil Guard, National Police, and maritime rescue services take part in the parade, along with displays of ground vehicles and aircraft. The event kicks off with the arrival of the King and Queen, who reviews the troops and greets members of the government. Other highlights of the parade include a paratrooper descending with a giant Spanish flag, the Spanish Legion marching with their pet goats, a solemn flag-raising ceremony to honor those who have died in service to their country, and a flypast by the Spanish Air Force.

Andy Warhol's fascination with Jackson Pollock is well known; his obsession with having one of his works in his extensive art collection, as well as the relationship between his famous car crash series and the notorious accident that ended Pollock's life one night in August 1956. The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza is organising an exhibition which brings together the work of these two key names of 20th century art, shown alongside that of other artists who were reconsidering issues relating to the new spatial strategies at this same time. These are two extraordinarily complex figures, seemingly very different but in fact united, like an entire generation of artists, by their interest in change, spatial issues and a fascination with large formats. The present opportunity to see the works in the galleries of the exhibition reveals that Jackson Pollock was not always an “abstract master”, nor was Warhol an artist solely occupied with dispassionate depictions of banal themes from popular culture. While maintaining figuration, in their own way both proposed revisiting the concept of space and its use as a place of concealment; both overturned the notion of the background and the figure, and both focused on an artistic project involving pictorial strategies which served them as camouflage. This exhibition project, which can be seen as autobiographical to some extent, focuses on two artists who worked on repetition, seriality and the move towards abstraction as a means to finding a place in the world in which they lived.

The Thyssen Bornemisza National Museum presents a selection of fifty masterpieces by Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee that belonged to the German dealer and collector Heinz Berggruen and are now part of the Berggruen Museum in Berlin. Heinz Berggruen (Berlin, 1914 - Paris, 2007) opened in 1950 a legendary art gallery in Paris, specializing in modern art, which for three decades had a prestigious clientele, including his friend Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza. From 1980, Berggruen devoted himself exclusively to expanding his select personal collection of 20th-century works and managed to assemble an extraordinary set that would be acquired by the German government in 2000. When the Museum Berggruen was created in the Charlottenburg neighborhood, as part of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the collector saw fulfilled his aspiration not only to preserve most of his works together for posterity, but also to be able to share his collection with the general public. In a way, this is a case similar to the one starring in Madrid by Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza a decade earlier. On the occasion of the renovation of its building, the Berggruen Museum has been organizing since 2022 a series of international exhibitions in Asia, Japan and China, and more recently in Europe, to show different proposals from the highlights of its collection. In the case of the presentation at the Thyssen Museum, the exhibition discourse proposes a constructive visual and intellectual dialogue between Heinz Berggruen's two favorite artists: Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee.
