Exposició "L'era atòmica"

The atomic age will never end. Triggered by the detonation of the first atomic test in the New Mexico desert in July 1945, its impact on life on Earth extends over a timescale very difficult to establish. The exhibition delves into this new experience of time and its links with science, politics and culture through the art of the 20th and 21st centuries. With nearly 250 works —paintings, drawings, photographs, videos and installations—, along with often unpublished documents, the exhibition gathers a great diversity of responses to scientific progress and the controversies it raises, with works by artists such as Hélène de Beauvoir, Henri Becquerel, Bruce Conner, Eduardo Chillida, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Hilma af Klint, Jürgen Nefzger, Yoko Ono, Raymond Pettibon, Joan Rabascall or Nancy Spero.
