The museum organizes a series of conversations to pay tribute to the collectors who ensure the continuing renewal of contemporary art and its system.
Directed by Rosina Gómez-Baeza and Lucía Ybarra, it consists of nine sessions scheduled over the course of 2025 in which a collector or a collector couple talk with a moderator about their art holdings and possible formulas to increase the effectiveness of public-private partnership in spreading knowledge of contemporary art. Going beyond the traditional roles of art collecting by addressing different forms of collaboration over a long period of time could also contribute – especially in Spain’s case – to a better dissemination of artistic and cultural production, sparking the interest of the whole of our society.
