Recently in Manuel Borja-Villel Category

After eight years conducting the MACBA, which under his direction has not only trebled its funding and doubled its exhibition space, but foremost has shaped its own identity, turning into an international reference, Manuel Borja-Villel was appointed last year as director of the MNCA Reina Sofía. It is the first time in Spain that an appointment of this kind has been put out to tender instead of being directly designated by the public authorities. The idea is to grant the institution a certain independence from the swings of politics.
