CONTOUR

SERIES

Contour Series is a series of visual and audiovisual exhibitions and projects by arts centre nona. Our new exhibition – EUROPALIA ESPAÑA: Iván Zulueta, Through the Looking-Glass. – celebrates the multifaceted oeuvre of Iván Zulueta, one of Spain's most visionary and influential artists.  This exhibition marks the first major solo presentation of Zulueta's work outside of Spain, offering a unique opportunity for international audiences to engage with his groundbreaking artistic contributions. It also features a thoughtful dialogue with the work of four contemporary Spanish artists, Marta Azparren, Esperanza Collado, Julio Linares and Beatriz Lobo. Their artistic interventions for the exhibition deeply resonate with Zulueta’s practice, themes or aesthetics.

Whether you are a long-time admirer of his work or discovering him for the first time, Iván Zulueta, Through the Looking-Glass offers a rare opportunity to engage with the work of a true iconoclast, while situating it within a broader cultural context that bridges generations, disciplines, and artistic practices.

Opening: Friday 10.10.2025, 18:00-21:00
The exhibition runs from October 11, 2025 until January 4, 2026.
