VERÓNICA RIEDEL'S LAST WEEK AT LA NEOMUDÉJAR
The CAV La Neomudéjar Museum is in its final days of exhibiting Ecos del Vacío (Echoes of the Void), a project developed by Guatemalan filmmaker and artist Verónica Riedel during her artistic residency at Kárstica Espacio de Creación, in the town of Cañada del Hoyo, Cuenca.
This multimedia work invites us to reflect on socio-political and economic issues, immigration, and memory. Connected to the setting of the residency, it also explores its environmental impact and focuses on themes of abandonment and pollution, which echo her usual body of work.
In addition to the canvases displayed in the dedicated space, a video featuring a visual poem is presented. The environment is shaped by organic sounds, combined with spoken words, and enhanced by local materials such as wicker, leaves, and limestone, forming a complete installation. Through this, the aim is to reclaim ancestral traditions as key elements for achieving sustainability.
Echoes of the Void. Verónica Riedel will be on view until April 6 at the Museo CAV La Neomudéjar, Antonio Nebrija, s/n, Madrid (Spain).

The Albarrán Bourdais gallery, at its Madrid venue, is hosting the exhibition En movimiento, by Julio Le Parc (Mendoza, Argentina, 1928). With a celebratory tone, as this is the first solo exhibition dedicated to the Argentine artist in Spain in 30 years, the show explores a fundamental part of the work of this master of kinetic and op-art and does so with a selection of several pieces that illustrate key periods. Without being a retrospective, there is something of that essence in the way the tour is presented, which proposes, through connected groups, an analysis of the connection between the past and the present.

Sueños guardados en granos de maíz brings us to a specific moment of materialization, but it expands toward all the vertices with which the artist works, delving above all into the importance of ancestry, identity, and the spirituality that is related to space.
