ARCHIPELAGOS OF SEQUINS

Over time, this celebration of difference and celebration of minority voices has gradually permeated the collections.

BY HAND 1979–1980. SUSANA SOLANO
The sculptor Susana Solano held her first solo exhibition at the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona from 2–20 April 1980. Given the title Escultures i dibuixos (Sculptures and Drawings), the exhibition occupied the space reserved for younger artists, which today would be classed as an artist-run space, with a faster turnover than the more leisurely intervals typical of an institutional framework.

ESTHER GATÓN. EMIL LIME
Emil Lime is an exhibition by Esther Gatón curated by Cory John Scozzari.
