The IAACC Pablo Serrano Voices Contemporary Aragonese Art with the Exhibition «Intervals: Plural Dialogues»

The Aragonese Institute of Art and Contemporary Culture (IAACC) Pablo Serrano inaugurates the exhibition Intervals. Dialogues in Plural, a show that will be open to the public until June 1, 2025, featuring the work of thirteen artists linked to Aragon, both emerging and established. The proposal is based on a significant reason: the prominent participation of these creators in national contemporary art fairs held in Madrid, including ARCO, Art Madrid, Urvanity, Hybrid, and JustMad, where they received excellent reception from both critics and the public.

The initiative, driven by the Government of Aragon, aims to recognize, project, and strengthen the presence of contemporary Aragonese art in the most prestigious professional and exhibition circuits. In the words of the General Director of Culture of the Government of Aragon, Pedro Olloqui, this exhibition not only reflects the quality of the artistic proposals in the community, but also “highlights the cultural structure behind them,” referring to gallery owners, curators, and other agents that make their development possible.

The thirteen selected artists —Jorge Fuembuena, Alejandro Monge, Rómulo Royo, Jonathan Hammer, Fernando Martín Godoy, José Moñú, Eduardo Lozano, Ira Torres, Alba Lorente, Dafne Artigot, Cayo, Índigo Planets, and Sergio Frutos— have been active participants in the Madrid circuit, and their works presented in Zaragoza articulate as both a continuity and evolution of those experiences. The concept of “interval,” as explained by the exhibition curators, Myriam Monterde and Ana Revilla, refers to an open space between these events and the current exhibition: an active pause for analysis and dialogue. The exhibition, they note, “is a meeting point between generations, styles, and trajectories,” a space where plurality is synonymous with creative richness.

The exhibition pathway offers visitors a diverse set of languages, techniques, and discourses. There are painting proposals, installations, photography, and digital art. The curatorial discourse does not impose a linear narrative or closed theme, but rather allows the works to converse with each other from their particularities, reflecting the vitality and complexity of contemporary art made in Aragon.

In addition to the exhibition, the institutional support from the Government of Aragon has materialized in other actions accompanying the Aragonese presence at the Madrid fairs, such as the organization of round tables and professional meetings. These activities have facilitated exchange among artists, curators, collectors, and cultural managers, generating networks that strengthen the projection of Aragonese talent in both national and international markets.

In this context, Intervals. Dialogues in Plural is presented as much more than an exhibition: it is an affirmation of identity and belonging, a showcase of what Aragon is producing today, and an invitation to look towards the future of art from an open, committed, and diverse perspective. The IAACC Pablo Serrano, with this proposal, reinforces its role as a reference space for contemporary creation in Aragon and as an active platform for visibility for its artists.
