Àngel Jové. De intactu

The first major retrospective on Àngel Jové (Lleida, 1940 – Girona, 2023), this displays a significant part of his work in order to provide a more intimate space around his figure, revealing an artist who avoided the conventional institutional frameworks of museums.

Considered one of the most enigmatic artists of the seventies, Jové shifted between arte povera, informalism and conceptualism. His multidisciplinary work consists of pieces that move between image, poetry, the word, matter and objects. His creations offer a space for resistance through visual language, questioning the social regimes of western societies. Jové is also known for having created, together with Antoni Llena, Sílvia Gubern and Jordi Galí, the first audiovisual artwork in Spain, Primera muerte [First Death] (1969).
