Unicaja Foundation and the Picasso Museum Málaga renew their alliance to promote exhibitions and research around the artist's work

The Unicaja Foundation has renewed its alliance with the Picasso Museum Málaga to support its exhibition activities and research around the artist's work. ... Both institutions will collaborate in organizing the exhibition 'Picasso Memory and Desire,' as well as in the educational work of the museum's Study and Research Center.

The new agreement was signed by the president of the Unicaja Foundation, José M. Domínguez, and the president of the executive board and second vice president of the Board of Trustees of the Picasso Museum Málaga, Bernard Ruiz-Picasso. Also present at the signing were the director of Division of Activities, Communication, and Image of the Unicaja Foundation, Cristina Rico, and the director of the Picasso Museum Málaga, Miguel López-Remiro.

The agreement will enable the inauguration of the exhibition 'Picasso Memory and Desire' this fall at the museum, which explores the relationship between images and the shifts of the modern subject through the work of Picasso and his contemporaries. The exhibition will be open from November 13 and will feature key figures of 20th-century art such as Giorgio de Chirico, Fernand Léger, Jean Cocteau, Man Ray, and René Magritte.

The agreement also includes the sponsorship of the Study and Research Center of the Picasso Museum Málaga. With this support, high-impact academic activities will be promoted, as well as curatorial and conservation research lines, seminars, and cross-sectional actions with other areas of the museum. One of the immediate activities of the center is the organization of the international seminar 'Surrealism and its Double,' which will gather in October specialists in key aspects of the contemporary reinterpretation of the surrealist movement.

The Unicaja Foundation and the Picasso Museum Málaga thus continue a long-standing partnership that dates back to the opening of the art gallery in 2003. Since then, the Foundation has sponsored exhibitions such as 'The South of Picasso. Andalusian References', 'Calder-Picasso', 'María Blanchard. Painter Despite Cubism', 'Picasso Sculptor. Matter and Body' and 'Reflections. Picasso/Koons, and events like the 'IV International Congress Picasso and History'.
