The exhibition Art beyond the Palace towards Cervantes: one exhibition, two places aims to showcase and celebrate the richness and diversity of Spanish art, particularly the works of Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró.
Seeing the works of Dalí and Miró in a ‘joint’ exhibition offers the opportunity to appreciate the points of intersection, but also the particularities of two different visions of surrealism. Dalí, with a provocative imagination, and Miró, exploring a different perspective of the subconscious.
From La Vida es Sueño to La Melodía Ácida, the aim is to promote an enriching dialogue between art and the public, in an itinerant proposal that will take place between a palace – the Palacio dos Condes de Redondo, headquarters of UAL – and, across the street (from Santa Marta) – the Instituto Cervantes.
This exhibition will enrich the understanding of the Spanish surrealist movement and contribute to the enrichment of the school community, which will be in contact with the work of these two artists.
In partnership with the Ibero-American University Foundation (FUNIBER), it is proposed to exhibit a set of prints from May to July 2025 that form part of FUNIBER’s Cultural Work, contributing to the mission of spreading culture in different parts of the world.
This initiative will also strengthen the cultural and academic links between the participating institutions, specifically between UAL and the Instituto Cervantes, which have been cooperation partners since 2019, and with FUNIBER, with which CEU (UAL’s founding organisation) signed a collaboration agreement more recently, opening up a space for planning future exhibitions.
