 MUSAC, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León (León, Spain)
presents a new exhibition season on June 25th. *P.I.G.S.* is the first solo
exhibition of French artist collective Claire Fontaine in Spain, the opening
instalment in the new *Sala 1* project, a space set aside for the
presentation of site-specific projects made by artists with well established
trajectories but who have not yet garnered much visibility in Spain. The
group show *The Cry* examines through the works of 17 international artists
the meaning of the scream as a primeval gesture from a plethora of contexts
and perspectives. MUSAC's halls 4, 5 & 6 will host *I WAS A MALE YVONNE DE
CARLO*. Critical art can be sophisticated, even entertaining, a specific
project for MUSAC curated by Dora García and Marie de Brugerolle. The show
explores the use of the profound mechanisms of comedy as tools for
unmasking, analysis and critique of the ideological, social, economic,
cultural and political systems by a series of artists from the national and
international scope. *Ideas K* is a survey exhibition of Spanish artist
Fernando Sinaga curated by Gloria Moure, underpinning Sinaga's work
throughout much of his creative trajectory, from 1984 to date. The
independent project space Laboratorio 987 opens a specific project by Uqbar
(Irene Kopelman & Mariana Castillo Deball), the third show of the
*Amikejo*yearly exhibition series, curated by Latitudes (Max Andrews &
Mariana Cánepa
Luna). Last but not least, MUSAC's Showcase Project shall be dedicated to
Hungarian architect and theoretician Yona Friedman, on occasion of the
publication of the second book of the *Collection Art and Architecture AA
MUSAC*.

*I WAS A MALE YVONNE DE CARLO. Critical art can be sophisticated, even
entertaining*
*Ignasi Aballí, John Baldessari, Guy Ben-Ner, Julien Bismuth & Jean-Pascal
Flavien, Stanley Brouwn, Robert Crumb, Guy de Cointet, Kirsten Mosher,
Itziar Okariz, Allen Ruppersberg, Jack Smith.*
Curators: Dora García and Marie de Brugerolle
25 June 2011–8 January 2012

*I WAS A MALE YVONNE DE CARLO. Critical art can be sophisticated, even
entertaining* is a specific project for MUSAC curated by Dora García and
Marie de Brugerolle. The show explores the use of the profound mechanisms of
comedy as tools for unmasking, analysis and critique of the ideological,
social, economic, cultural and political systems by a series of artists from
the national and international scope. Through a selection of more than 20
works of varied techniques —video, objects, decoration, formal wear and
performance—by the artists Ignasi Aballí, John Baldessari, Guy Ben-Ner,
Julien Bismuth & Jean-Pascal Flavien, Stanley Brouwn, Guy de Cointet, Robert
Crumb, Kirsten Mosher, Itziar Okariz, Allen Ruppersberg, Jack Smith, *I WAS
A MALE YVONNE DE CARLO* proposes an approach to the arduous task of "showing
the truth through humor". On occasion of the show, a catalogue with texts by
Dan Graham, Susan Sontag, Allen Ruppersberg, Jack Smith, Guy de Cointet,
Dora García and Marie de Brugerolle will be published. *Read more about the
project* <http://musac.es/index_en.php?ref=31400>

*The Cry*
*Absalon, Allora & Calzadilla, Hernan Bas, Irina Botea, Luisa Cunha, El
Resplandor, Lara Favaretto, Terence Gower, Jesper Just, David Maljkovic,
Christian Marclay, Teresa Margolles, Loreto Martínez Troncoso, Olivia
Plender, Ugo Rondinone, Javier Téllez, von Calhau*
Curators: María Inés Rodríguez and Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy
25 June 2011–8 January 2012

The group exhibition *The Cry* examines, through a selection of 28 works by
17 international artists, the meaning of the scream as a primeval gesture
from a plethora of contexts and perspectives, both on a political level and
within the private field of human expression. Through works by Absalon, Lara
Favaretto, Jesper Just, Teresa Margolles and Ugo Rondinone, among others,
the show takes the groundbase of Expressionism as a frame of reference to
identify the sentient meaning of that gesture for contemporary art. The
Canadian artist Terence Gower has been commissioned with the exhibition
design. At the same time, performance will play a major role in the show
with projects by Loreto Martínez Troncoso, Von Calhau and El Resplandor, on
view throughout the exhibition in a specific space called *Plaza
Pública*. *Read

*Claire Fontaine, P.I.G.S*
Curator: María Inés Rodríguez
25 June–18 September 2011

*P.I.G.S.* is the first solo exhibition in Spain by Paris-based artist
Claire Fontaine, whose work revolves around the exploration of the
political, economic and social context and on how it influences contemporary
society. In a world mediated by the rationale of the market and consumerism,
Claire Fontaine co-opts art practices as a method for collective activity, a
way of reflecting on how such notions predicate the construction of our
lives as individuals and as citizens. The Claire Fontaine exhibition at the
MUSAC is the opening instalment in the new *Sala 1* project, a space set
aside for the presentation of site-specific projects made by artists with
well established trajectories but who have not yet garnered much visibility
in Spain. *Read more about the project*<http://musac.es/index_en.php?ref=31600>


*Fernando Sinaga, Ideas K*
Curator: Gloria Moure
25 June–18 September 2011

MUSAC (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León) presents Ideas K, a
survey exhibition of Spanish artist Fernando Sinaga curated by Gloria Moure.
With over fifty works across various supports, the exhibition takes a look
at the imaginary underpinning Sinaga's work throughout much of his creative
trajectory, from 1984 to date. The idea behind *Ideas K* is to underscore
the specific and experimental nature of Sinaga's work as well as its
transversal and diversified thrust, as revealed by the compelling
correlation of the connections and links running through his practice over
the last 26 years. *Read more about the
project*<http://musac.es/index_en.php?ref=31500>

*Uqbar* (Irene Kopelman & Mariana Castillo Deball), *Amikejo* at the
Laboratorio 987
Curators: Latitudes (Max Andrews & Mariana Cánepa Luna)
25 June–11 September 2011

MUSAC's independent project space, the Laboratorio 987, presents the third
show of the *Amikejo* exhibition series, by occasional collaborative pair
Uqbar [Mariana Castillo Deball (1975, Mexico City, Mexico) & Irene Kopelman
(1976, Cordoba, Argentina)]. *Amikejo: Uqbar Foundation* explores the notion
of "collaborative process", of working together understood as a chemical
reaction between two elements, or two parallel universes that branch and
meet at certain stages. These reflections are expressed metaphorically in
the show through the principal of chirality or 'handedness', a property of
an object that is not superimposable on its mirror image (being Human hands
perhaps the most recognizable example of chirality). Quoting the artists,
"[we will] take this phenomenon as a metaphor of two organisms working
together, reflecting on each other's mechanisms, mirroring each other; and
at the same time being completely different and alien to each other". *Read

*Yona Friedman, Métropole Europe* at the Showcase Project
Curator: María Inés Rodríguez
25 June–18 September 2011

>From 25 June, MUSAC's Showcase Project shall be dedicated to Hungarian
architect and theoretician Yona Friedman, on occasion of the publication of
Volume 2 of the *Collection Art and Architecture AA MUSAC*. In his work
Friedman places priority on the word of the individual, his needs and the
power implicit in the freedom to decide, thus granting him a fundamental
role in society. This project is at once a tribute to one of the most
influential, dynamic and visionary theoreticians of our time and a
prolongation of our reflections on architecture and its role in structuring
the contemporary city. *Read more about the
