Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani de Palma welcomes 2025 with an impressive selection of exhibitions that stand out for their diversity, innovation, and conceptual depth. From international artists to local talents, Es Baluard offers a journey through proposals that redefine the boundaries of contemporary art. Here are the most noteworthy exhibitions:
Eugenio Dittborn. Airmail Paintings
Dates: January 30 – June 15, 2025
Location: Space B
The work of Eugenio Dittborn, a pioneer of Latin American conceptual art, arrives at Es Baluard in his first solo exhibition in Spain. His “Airmail Paintings” combine letters and painting in a hybrid that challenges the boundaries of traditional easel painting. These works travel the globe via airmail, carrying stories of resistance and cultural connection, born during Chile’s military dictatorship. A reflection on the politics of travel and folds as an artistic strategy.
José Fiol. The Green Fog
Dates: January 30 – May 4, 2025
Location: Space D
Mallorcan artist José Fiol explores the intersection of sports, cinema, and history in his new project, “The Green Fog”. Inspired by the 1975 Wimbledon final and the experimental film of the same name, Fiol uses the cut-up technique to create unique narratives. This approach transforms the familiar into something strange, generating new connections and visual perspectives.
Nachleben. Painting as Conceptual Art
Dates: January 30 – July 6, 2025
Location: Space A
“Nachleben” celebrates painting as the ultimate form of conceptual art. This exhibition poses fundamental questions about the boundaries of painting and its ability to adapt to cultural and social changes. From abstraction to contemporary art, Nachleben demonstrates how painting remains a dynamic, multifaceted medium full of possibilities.
Jessica Stockholder. Cardinal Points
Dates: January 30 – August 24, 2025
Location: Space C
Jessica Stockholder, one of the most influential figures in expanded painting, presents “Cardinal Points”, where the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and architecture blur. Her work invites viewers to interact with the space, integrating everyday materials and using color as a dematerializing element. An immersive experience that redefines the perception of art.
