A Spanish public museum whose Central Archive preserves documentation produced by the institution from its beginnings as an Art Centre in 1986 to the present.
Selected excerpts from our archive offer more context on this subject. Each reading links to the original article and its sources.
Clothing takes on a new meaning in the museum
In Spain, the academic study of textiles mentions Tras el espejo. Moda española, held in 2003 at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. The reference links fashion to an art-exhibition setting, but the material available here is not enough to reconstruct the exhibition’s selection, installation or public reception. It is important to distinguish a documented exhibition from broader conclusions one might draw from it.
What an archival photograph can—and cannot—document
The supplied scholarship broadens the picture without authorising a single history of photography. Isabel Argerich’s article “Photography and Archive” is listed in Fotocinema. Another study examines underground photography through the fanzine Rockocó and the Miguel Trillo Archive at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. Its title establishes a research relationship between photography, publication and archive; the supplied description does not give specific images, supports or conclusions, so it would be inappropriate to claim more.
