If an art exhibition seeks to communicate emotions and ideas of a cultural nature, it must always do so in recognition of the geographical context from which it is projected.

Transubstanciation
This exhibition addresses the theme of the Baroque as a philosophy and as a way of understanding the world, as well as the concept of "substance" and "transubstantiation" that articulates the entire exhibition.

David Hammons, Untitled (B-ball Drawing), 2004
Hammons creates a composition incorporating the choreography of basketball into his artistic process. Through abstraction, he offers us a work that strains the regimes of visibility, making it difficult to recognize the visible and to understand the intelligible.

Douglas Gordon, INSTRUCTION (NUMBER 7), 1994
Gordon takes up key points from his research and elaborates a proposal open to numerous reading keys, subtly intertwining form and content through verbal language, thus promoting a folding in of themes such as fluidity of perception and meaning.
View of the exposicion - Sustancia – SUSTANCIAS (2022-02-22) by Carol Bove, Hayv Kahraman, Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, and Engel LeonardoCollegium
The Caprices series and the selection of contemporary artists highlight, from a critical dimension, our human condition. And they approach, from a complex and destabilizing dimension, the knowledge of our world and our elusive spirit.
The perspective of the Baroque as an integrating philosophy is still somehow alive in the expressions of contemporary art and culture. The historical tension between the sacred and the secular is present in these works and in this place.
