TO OPEN EYES. Artist's Perspectives
Centre Pompidou Málaga

"Art tells us that we must 'learn to see and feel life'," declared Josef Albers, a German-born artist and teacher living in the United States in 1940. For him, art is inseparable from life, encouraging us to "open our eyes." This principle applies both to his educational philosophy and his artistic dimension.

This exhibition examines how artists invite us to shift our gaze and thus transform our relationship with art, society, and the world. The exhibition, neither chronological nor narrative, is structured around visual, formal, or thematic rhymes. It reveals affinities between works from a wide variety of mediums, periods, and creative contexts, reflecting the richness and diversity of the collections of the National Museum of Modern Art (Paris).

"To Open Eyes" is a free journey that offers an open and non-exhaustive overview of the major movements and breakthroughs that have marked the history of art in the 20th and 21st centuries, leading up to recent creations that reflect some of the contemporary challenges. The works offer reflections on our relationship with history and spirituality, the role of the body in art and society, and how utopias shape our imaginations.
