With “Other Spaces – Photography in the Américo Marques Collection (Part I),” MACAM – Museu de Arte Contemporânea Armando Martins continues to explore one of the central questions underlying its identity: how private collections are transformed when they enter the public sphere.

A warning precedes A Sexual History of the Internet (2025). Under red light, audience members unlock their phones, connect to the internet, activate do not disturb, and begin reading assigned passages aloud.

In presenting a compelling overview of Beatriz González’s six-decade career, Astrup Fearnley Museet offers a survey of an artistic practice that has consistently transformed ordinary images into sites of political and emotional inquiry. Rather than positioning González solely as a chronicler of Colombian history, the exhibition presents her as an acute reader of visual culture, demonstrating how images shape collective memory and public understandings of violence.
