Art en pantalla II: Lorena Pérez-Jácome

Art en pantalla II program aims to analyze, from different perspectives, the perception and transmission of knowledge related to the image and the historiography of art, today. To this end, various profiles of prominent professionals address these issues from different perspectives, always related to the proposed topics.

Art en pantalla II is also a forum in which the guests recommend readings that have been significant in understanding and expanding their knowledge of art and aesthetic ideas, the gender perspective applied to art history, museums and their collections, and any other issues they consider relevant to their discourse.

On this occasion, Lorena Pérez-Jácome will introduce us to the work she’s doing with the podcast “Art in Dialogue,” a space for interviews with the most relevant figures in the art system to discover the stories behind the works or the thoughts of collectors, like herself. In this regard, she will also speak to us as the project leader of Collegium, a museum that is also a center for creation and research for international contemporary art, based in a former 16th-century Jesuit complex in Arévalo, Ávila. Ultimately, it will be a discussion about books, works, and emotions: everything that shapes a way of being with art, of accompanying it, and of sharing it.
