ARS VISIBILIS VII is not conceived as an exhibition in the conventional sense, but rather as a device that questions the conditions under which artistic practices by women appear in the visible sphere today. Visibility ceases to be understood as an objective or an achievement and is instead situated as a regime: a set of operations that determines what can be perceived, how it is presented, and from what frameworks it is interpreted.
Curated by Rosa Muñoz Bustamante and Fernando Barrionuevo, the project is part of a sustained line of research focused on the relationship between image, gender, and systems of perception, as well as on the development of immersive devices understood not as technological solutions, but as critical structures that reconfigure aesthetic experience.

The exhibition brings together 47 artists from diverse cultural backgrounds and 14 countries whose coexistence does not stem from the construction of a common narrative or the affirmation of a shared identity. What is activated is a field of tensions where differences are neither organized nor resolved, but rather remain in a state of friction. The whole does not represent: it destabilizes.
The decision to work exclusively with painting, sculpture, and installation does not stem from a disciplinary hierarchy, but rather from a precise operation: to shift practices anchored in matter, body, and space toward a regime of projection that disrupts them. The work ceases to present itself as a stable object and becomes an apparition, an image in transit, a surface of inscription traversed by temporality.

The projection does not act as neutral mediation or reproduction, but as a critical device. By detaching itself from its immediate materiality, the work is not lost, but enters a state of instability where it overlaps, dilutes, and reconfigures itself in relation to others. Scale fluctuates, space expands, and perception becomes embodied. The viewer no longer simply looks: they are implicated.
In this context, the inclusion of a single sculptural piece in its material form introduces a decisive interruption. Faced with the continuous flow of images, their fixed, localized, and enduring presence acts as a point of condensation, forcing us to reconsider what presence means today and what place matter occupies in an environment dominated by the circulation of images.
The linguistic dimension adds another layer of complexity. The artists’ texts are presented in their original language, without translation, displacing the function of language as a tool for transparency. Language is positioned as matter—rhythm, sound, structure—and not as an immediate vehicle of meaning. Opacity ceases to be a deficiency and becomes a form of resistance against homogenization.
The viewer thus loses their position of interpretive dominance. The experience is not organized around total understanding, but rather through exposure to the fragmentary, to what is not completely legible, to what eludes us. The gaze shifts toward a more unstable, more situated form of attention, more aware of its own limits.
From a cultural and social anthropology perspective, the practices gathered here are not understood as isolated individual expressions, but as forms of symbolic production that operate within complex systems of meaning. They don’t reflect a context: they shape it, they challenge it, they rewrite it.
ARS VISIBILIS VII offers no answers nor does it construct a stabilizing narrative. It sustains a territory of questions where visibility ceases to be evidence and becomes a problem. In that space, the exhibition ceases to function as a format and becomes a way of being, of perceiving, and of thinking about the present without reducing it.
