Economies of the Residual. A Theory of Landscape as a Fold
In the latest in the website's 'Itineraries' section, Víctor del Río takes a selection of works from the Banco de España Collection to explore the way the concept of landscape has been redefined in the poetics of contemporary art.

‘Allegories of What is to Come’ shows how the ambitious architectural and ornamental design of the 1930s extension played a key role in the institution's transition to modern times. It also looks at the contradictions and tensions of a turbulent era which promoted the ideal of harmony whilst accepting the reality of social inequality and conflict.
