This exhibition that presents works exclusively from the Wigam Collection is centered on two main visions of the world. In one space, the focus lies on the experience of the world through the body; while in the other, the world is, first and foremost, observed and lived through the social interdependencies. Needless to say, this distinction signals only the primary point of attention since one cannot think about the body without its social habitus and, conversely, the social order is personal and physical. Art is a place where values can and should be negotiated without being afraid to confront the public with difficult topics. These two visions, reflected in outstanding works made by some of the most interesting artists of our time, seem to be of great relevance at this moment.
