Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary
A massive anthology of texts, visual material, and research on TBA21's commissions and the foundation's vast collection of over 700 artworks. "What survives after the artwork?" asks curator and researcher Natasha Ginwala in one of the essays in Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary: The Commissions Book, a new and comprehensive publication by the art foundation Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21), founded by Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza in Vienna, Austria, in 2002. "The artwork is not just the thing in itself, but also the metaphysical infrastructure and unfinished relationships that produce it," Ginwala writes. In that sense, this anthology of texts, visual material, and research on T...

Tidalectics
Essays, research, and art projects that formulate a Tidalectic worldview, addressing our most threatened ecosystem: the oceans. The oceans cover two-thirds of the planet, shaping human history and culture, home to countless species. Yet we, as mostly land-dwelling humans, often fail to grasp the importance of these vast bodies of water. Climate change destabilizes notions of land-based embeddedness, collapses tropes of time and space, and turns our future more oceanic. Tidalectics imagines an oceanic worldview, with essays, research, and artists' projects that present a different way of engaging with our hydrosphere. Unbound by land-based modes of thinking and living, the essays and research...
Olafur Eliasson
Green Light is a project initiated by artist Olafur eliasson in collaboration with Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, vienna. Conceived as a field of production and mutual learning, Green Light works with refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and nGOs to fabricate an unlimited edition of fully functional lamps, which are geometric, stackable modules made from recyclable materials that are fitted with a welcoming green light. Providing fundraising and education opportunities, Green Light workshops first took place in vienna in 2016, and have since been hosted at the Moody Center for the Arts (Houston) and the 57th venice Biennale. The publication seeks to question and reflect on the project through testimonies, stories, and memories by the participants and founders as well as reflect on the relationship between culture and migration today. With more than twenty contributors including Atif Akin, Anas Aljajeh, Tarek Atoui, Tawab Baran, Ian Cion, Angela Dimitrakaki, and Olafur Green Light participants, among others.

Pop Art Myths
The Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza is presenting Pop Art Myths, the first exhibition on this subject in Madrid since Pop Art at the Museo Reina Sofía in 1992. More than twenty years later, the exhibition’s curator Paloma Alarcó, Head of Modern Painting at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, will offer a reassessment of this artistic trend from a 21st century viewpoint. Featuring more than 100 works ranging from pioneering British Pop Art to the classic American version and its expansion into Europe, the exhibition aims to trace the shared sources of international Pop Art and to undertake a revision of the myths that have traditionally defined the movement. It will reveal how the legendary images cre...
