Events on September 15, 2018

SPX (Small Press Expo) 2018, the premier event for indie comics, cartooning and graphic novels, presents Spanish graphic novelist Emma Ríos.

The Spanish theater company Nao D’amores presents “Penal de Ocaña,” a play revealing the journal of a philosophy student in Madrid in 1936.

Directed by Maria Litvan with Laia Cabrera and Ignacio García-Bustelo, “Prologue” is a mixed-media performance created as a composition of moments, snapshots into the life and thought of French philosopher and activist Simone Weil.

On view for the first time since its acquisition by the museum in 2017, a rare complete set of the lithographic prints offers a contrasting complement to “Dalí: Poetics of the Small, 1929–1936.”

Nearly two dozen Surrealist masterpieces comprise the first focused exploration of the small-scale paintings by Salvador Dalí.

The exhibition presents the large-scale projections of video artist Sánchez at her first solo show with The Cluster Gallery.

Continuing with his challenge to the nature and current state of artistic disciplines, in “Now, Soon, Then, Tomorrow,” Guillermo Mora playfully presents an inventive, almost surreal, conception of contemporary painting in four site-specific installations.

A selected group Spanish artists participate in an exhibition that explores the different takes on climate change through thought-provoking and poetic interpretations.

“Correspondence” features a new series of weaving-objects through which artist Ana Esteve Llorens explores the relation between abstraction, memory and the process of making.

The public sculpture entitled “Link” will be installed on Flatiron Plaza North as part of the exhibition “Jorge Palacios at The Noguchi Museum.”

Major works from the “Caprichos” by Francisco de Goya, a series of etchings showing powerful social commentary, are included in the NGA exhibition.

“Heavy Metal,” the fifth installment in NMWA’s Women to Watch exhibition series, showcases contemporary artists working in metal, and includes works by Spanish sculptor Blanca Muñoz.

The Meadows Museum presents a focused summer exhibition pairing its recent acquisition “Beach at Portici” (1874), by Mariano Fortuny y Marsal, with a loan from the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, “Idle Hours” (1894), by William Merritt Chase.

This exhibition features more than 40 masterpieces of Spanish painting drawn from major collections in Madrid, including the Prado, San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts Museum, and the Reina Sofia, complemented by a select group of works from American museums.

“A Transparent Leaf instead of The Mouth” is the first institutional solo exhibition of work by Spanish artist Daniel Steegmann Mangrané in the United States.

“Designing America” presents the decisive contribution of Spain to the construction and planning of the territory, the landscape and the U.S. cities, from the first settlements until today.
