As suggested by the expressive gestures of Mun\u0303oz\u2019s three characters, the show has the assertiveness of dialogue, but also that of contrast and intrigue, and is driven by the search for revelatory meaning. The interaction between the works follows a specific pattern, established on the one hand by the continuous quiet of the Minimalist aesthetic, and on the other by the threefold relationship between architecture, sculpture and the human figure.<\/p>\n<p>In this exhibition, the formalist interpretation of the geometry of Minimalist art is dispelled by the strength of the experiences, symbolisms and fictions of the works. Form is of course important, but the artists represented here draw on it to support personal poetics and references to the reality of our world. Moreover, the plays on contrast and the affinity between the various artistic proposals displayed in the show trigger multiple readings that, in turn, are able to generate other different readings.<\/p>\n<h3>The Artists<\/h3>\n<p>Fernanda Fragateiro,\u00a0Donald Judd,\u00a0Agnes Martin,\u00a0Juan Mu\u00f1oz,\u00a0Joan Hern\u00e1ndez Pijuan,\u00a0Doris Salcedo,\u00a0Juli\u00e3o Sarmento,\u00a0Thomas Sch\u00fctte,\u00a0Richard Serra,\u00a0Jana Sterbak,\u00a0Antoni T\u00e0pies,\u00a0Ignacio Uriarte,\u00a0Rachel Whiteread.<\/p>\n<h3>The \u201dla Caixa\u201d Contemporary Art Collection<\/h3>\n<p>Besides providing a significant range of readings of the art produced during the last forty years, today the \u201cla Caixa\u201d Contemporary Art Collection promotes new dialogues and stories intended to extend the meaning and current relevance of the works.
