“Pop on the battlefield” is the title of the next summer course organised by the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga. Taking its starting point from the title of one of the works in the exhibition Reflections of Pop, the course will look at the reception of international Pop art in Spain in the 1960s and 1970s through the work of four artists whose output reveals the most coherent and consistent influence of that movement: Luis Gordillo, Eduardo Arroyo, Equipo Crónica and Equipo Realidad. 

 

This three-day course will benefit from the participation of six experts on subjects associated with Spanish Pop art. Participants will be introduced to works produced in Spain from the 1960s to the 1980s. From the starting point of different disciplines and approaches ranging from aesthetics to art theory, art history, gender studies, graphic design and music, the course will offer a first-hand analysis of the influence of international Pop art in Spain and the way it was transformed, as well as the consequences it had for the renovation of the Spanish cultural scene.
