This is the first major solo show by Gülsün Karamustafa (Ankara, 1946) in Spain. And an excellent opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the work of arguably the most internationally acclaimed living Turkish artist and one of the most unique voices in contemporary art.

The What is Our Home? exhibition grew out of an interest in striking up a dialogue, in forging a connection and affinity between the collections of IVAM and of MAXXI, Rome.

The starting point for the specific project carried out by Jorge Peris (Alzira, 1969) was his return in 2011 to Valencia, the city where he began his training as an artist. Specifically, he went back to El Palmar, which involved meeting memories, but also the landscape of the Albufera and all its surroundings.

IVAM looks in the mirror. Journalists, art critics and artists take the word.

Miquel Navarro (Mislata, 1945) was one of the group of artists who transformed sculpture in the late 1970s. His large installations in towns and cities are welcoming places but they also form part of the authority that dominates and controls.

The exhibition places the works of Julio González (Barcelona, 1876 - Paris, 1942) right at the centre of the aesthetic, political and social debate of his time, seeking to generate a discourse in which all such aspects come together using the artwork and documents that the IVAM has about him and other Avant-garde artists.

Ignacio Pinazo (Valencia, 1849 – Godella, 1916) opened up a new field for the treatment of naturalism, light and investigation.
