SUJETO is a collective show that gives another twist to the theme of contemporary portraiture, placing the representation of man in his absolute neutrality not only composition-wise, but on that which refers to behavior itself. An original idea by Rafael Doctor that gathers works from the MUSAC Collection as well as others from institutional and private collections. Through works from the MUSAC Collection as well as others from private and institutional collectors, it offers a selection of portraits with a common denominator: the presentation of individualities in the context of nude existence, the “being there”, that in various ways consists of a document about “the other”, the proof of existence and with it, a mirror of the existential uncertainties of the observer. Without doubt it proposes a trip to the interior of our “I” through our reflection on the “other”.

Artists in the exhibition: Richard Avedon, Stephen Balkenhol, Rineke Dijkstra, Roland Fischer, Till Freiwald, Pere Formiguera, Carmela García, Pierre Gonnord, Félix González-Torres, Stefan Hablützel, Marie-Jo Lafontaine, Robert Mapplethrope, Jesús Micó, Pedro Mora, Berhard Prinz, Humberto Rivas, Daniel Rozin, Thomas Ruff, Karin Sander, Do-Ho Suh, Fiona Tan and Urraco.
