As usual, every year the Museu d’Art Contemporani d’Eivissa presents its MACE FOCUS project. On this occasion we show to the public several sets of works with their different narratives, trying to find dialogues that facilitate their proximity and understanding.

The works of art that have recently entered in the museum, the product of acquisitions, deposits and donations, come together with a double purpose: on the one hand to implement the museum's collections coherently and on the other hand to open ourselves to new lines of exploration by rereading the collections with renewed perspectives.

Our time, often complex and convulsive, envelops us in a turmoil that prevents us from seeing calmly, reasoning with serenity and feeling with recognition and awareness.

However, the artists' works are made for us, so that we can enjoy their presence, be disturbed or not by their proposals, feel their heartbeat; what they evoke in themselves and through their expressive languages, respond to their stimuli, grow intellectually and creatively with their meanings or expand our sensitive and mental horizons.

The exhibition shows works by: Gisela Broner (Sao Paulo, 1912 - Eivissa, 2005). From the deposit made by AMICS MACE, which contains works by Elmyr de Hory (Budapest, Hungary, 1906 - Eivissa, 1976), Rubén Núñez (Valencia, Venezuela, 1930 - 2012) and Victor Vasarely (Pécs, Hungary, 1906 - Paris, France,1997). Isabel Echarri (Vera de Bidasoa, 1929 - Formentera, 2022), Barry Flanagan (Prestatyn, Wales, 1941 - Santa Eulària des Riu, 2009), Marcel Floris (Hyères, France, 1914 - Santa Eulària des Riu, 2002), Susy Gómez (Pollensa, 1964), Antoni Marí Ribas “Portmany” (Eivissa, 1906 - 1974), Adrián Martínez (Eivissa, 1984), Katja Meirowsky (Straussdorf / Spremberg, Germany, 1920 - Potsdam, 2012), Stella Rahola Matutes (Barcelona, 1980), Bertil Sjöberg (Malmö, Sweden, 1914 - 1999), Edith Sommer (Schwäbisch Gmünd, Switzerland, 1935 - Eivissa, 2020) and Heinz Trökes (Duisburg, Germany, 1913 - Berlin, 1997).

The subtitle of the exhibition: MAGATZEM VISITABLE refers to the installation, which will show some packaging, with the didactic intention of showing how the works travel or are stored when they are not on display in front of our eyes. The poetics contained in these wooden boxes can make up a great flow of added meanings.
