Exhibition of Javier Viver: Museum of Passions. From February 5 to May 4, 2020.

 

Javier Viver exhibits Museum of Passions at the Lázaro Galdiano and the Chapel of the Architects
The artist Javier Viver creates a Museum of Passions, in two spaces in Madrid, in the Lazaro Galdiano Museum and in the Chapel of the Architects, of the Royal Congregation of Architects in the Church of San Sebastian.

The former Ballroom of the Parque Florido Palace, now the Lázaro Galdiano Museum, will host the monumental work The Woman of Lot, the centerpiece of the exhibition, a 6-meter-high stone salt sculpture inspired by the nostalgic look at the past whose consequence is death.

The Architects' Chapel, designed by Ventura Rodríguez, will feature the installation A beating heart, created specifically for that space, with photographic prints up to 9 meters high taken from his books Révélations -based on the iconography of the Parisian psychiatric hospital of La Salpêtrière-, and Aurelia Immortal, the jellyfish capable of being reborn after her own death.

The exhibition, which will feature interventions in almost all the halls of the Museo Lázaro Galdiano, will open on February 5 and can be visited from February 6 to May 4 at the Museum. The opening at the Architects' Chapel will take place on February 13 and will remain open to the public until May 4.
