On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso and as part of the activities programmed for this commemoration, the first of the interventions designed by Rogelio López Cuenca - National Prize for Plastic Arts 2022 - for this museum is inaugurated at the Museo Nacional Centro de Investigación de Altamira. The installation is part of an exhibition project that is being developed in different museums belonging to the network of State Museums belonging to the Ministry of Culture and Sport.
The installation that opens at the Museo Nacional Centro de Investigación de Altamira includes various pieces that allude to both the mythology of the Minotaur and the tradition of bullfighting, both intimately intertwined in the popular imagination around the figure of Picasso as a demiurgic hero and his national identity, an altar that he shares with the image of the Great Bison, the museum's quintessential image.
In addition, the project is completed with PI©A$$o™, a publication in the form of a newspaper which will be available free of charge to visitors to the various project venues, and which brings together a selection of articles by leading researchers and scholars both on Picasso's work and on the diversity of ways in which the phenomenon of his contradictory fame unfolds and is consumed in contemporary society.
