The project
The Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga has launched this competition, proposed by its Young MCTM group, with the aim of promoting the relationship between visual and literary creation.
The Museum’s intention is to encourage literary creation through the inspiration of two works now on display in the exhibition Reflections of Pop:
- José María Blanco White threatened by his followers in London, Eduardo Arroyo, 1978 (See work)
- Cain and Abel, Equipo Realidad, 1967 (See work)
The micro-stories entered in the competition must be no longer than 200 words and must be based on one of these two works.
Prize
The winner will receive a catalogue of the Reflections of Pop exhibition and a selection of books relating to that subject. In addition, the Museum will publish 1,000 large-format cards with the winning story reproduced on them, to be displayed next to the work and available free to visitors. The winner will be announced on 31 July 2016.
