    The religious paintings of William Congdon and the problem of religious art in modernism
    (Brepols, 2018) Acedo, N. (Nieves)
    This paper presents a review of William Congdon’s religious paintings. The critical analysis takes into consideration the theory of several authors. Jacques Maritain’s comments on Congdon’s religious work are especially clarifying. He explains the difference between contemplative art, sacred art and religious art. Such ordering complements both the idea of contemplation in the Western artistic tradition and the notion of the artist as a kind of visionary, as a medium, that we find, for example, in Baudelaire. Two primary features of religious art stand out as a result of this analysis. Firstly, the concept of transparency, which regards the mediating character of the work, and secondly, the primacy of reception, regarding the function of the work in a religious context. In the final section the relevance of these notes on Congdon’s work is examined. This demands further study, not only of the works conceived as objects, but of the creative process, on the one hand, and of its critical fortune, on the other.

    Lo angélico y lo posthumano: encuentro de contrarios en el Ángel Caído de Marina Núñez
    (2017) Acedo, N. (Nieves)
    El presente texto analiza los múltiples temas que se encuentran en la serie de infografías Ángel Caído que la artista Marina Núñez expuso en la Catedral de Burgos en 2008. En estas obras, cuestiones propias del imaginario de la artista como la ciencia ficción, el feminismo y el transhumanismo se ven afectadas por la fuerza iconográfica y temática de la tradición de la representación angélica. En la primera parte se hace una breve presentación de la obra de la artista para pasar, en la segunda, al estudio de la serie en cuestión como lugar de encuentro entre aspectos propios del humanismo y de la teología judeo-cristiana con preocupaciones propias del cientifismo materialista.

    A guide and two untime chronicles to contemplate Rothko's work
    (SciencePG, 2018) Echarri, F. (Fernando); Varela, E. (Emilio)
    The experience offered by a museum to a visitor can have different nature and importance for everyone. Each artwork is perpetually sending a message to the viewer, possibly creating an art-person link. This link can provide experiences of great significant power to the visitor. The article below aims to delve into the facilitation of these experiences in the case of the paintings created by the artist Mark Rothko work (1903-1970). Their special characteristics mean that they can be called "Rothko experiences". As a result, a guide to viewing the work, based on the artist's recommendations, has been developed which can facilitate the emergence of these so-called "Rothko experience". Specifically, some of the multiple "realityaesthetical-art" connections experienced between Rothko's work and people whom observation incorporate an aesthetical and metaphysical dimension of reality are presented. To help in the understanding of these profound experiences and the aesthetical education of sensibility, the narrative method is used through two chronicles that gather the experiences lived by the authors in their contemplation of Rothko's work. These chronicles are examples that can help to understand the possibilities of Rothko's contemplative painting. The result is a synthetic study of Rothko work conceptualization, through one guide and the narrative dialectics between two "Rothko experiences" to show his aesthetical way of thinking, represented in his paintings.

    The metamuseum as the future of the museum institution?
    (2022) Echarri-Iribarren, F. (Fernando)
    Throughout its history, the museum has undergone a great evolution in the sense that it has shifted its weight from the column of objects to the column of people. Today, museums face many challenges in an increasingly fast-paced and changing society, where the personal, the social, diversity and inclusion are advancing forcefully. Taking into account the necessary adaptation of the museum to social requirements, this article analyzes the situation of the museum institution with foresight for the future to conceptualize the so-called metamuseum, capable of reflecting with itself in real time and with characteristics such as resilience, interdisciplinarity, adaptation, openness, independence and delocalization. Tise article proposes the metamuseum as a fifth generation of museums, where the interaction with objects is transformed into a successful experience where the needs and expectations of individuals and social groups are fully satisfied.

    Can art museums help environmental education? An interdisciplinary vision to promote meaningful learning
    (Universidad de Cádiz, 2020) Echarri-Iribarren, F. (Fernando)
    Environmental education is a discipline that tries to find new methodologies and tools to advance in the achievement of its goals. The museum education proposed by art museums, because of its specific methods and power of significance, can be a way forward for environmental education that is worth exploring. The theory of meaningful learning can be used by both disciplines to support and achieve more meaningful, and therefore lasting, learning among people. The complementarity and synergy between these disciplines can be established from their points of conceptual coincidence. The main research goals of this article have been two: to study and show the intrinsic complementarity of these disciplines from a conceptual viewpoint, and to show how their combined strength and complementarity can inspire specific educational proposals for the challenges of education in the twenty-first century. For example, those that focus on educating on the complexity of the world. The presentation and discussion of this conceptual framework may suggest educational instructions that move towards the interdisciplinary nature of environmental education, using as an educational resource that which is housed in art museums.

    El programa QuidArte del Museo Universidad de Navarra: el arte al servicio del bienestar y el cuidado en el contexto de la pandemia Covid-19
    (2022) Echarri-Iribarren, F. (Fernando)
    El contexto social que ha generado la pandemia Covid-19 está caracterizado por la aparición de situaciones continuadas de sufrimiento personal, miedo y aislamiento que pueden generar diversos grados de estrés, angustia y estados de ánimo negativos que repercuten en una disminución del bienestar de las personas. Frente a esta situación, los diferentes equipamientos sociales necesitan responder, con una perspectiva de ayuda para las personas. Estos equipamientos, como los museos, pueden desempeñar un papel activo, constituyéndose en generadores de propuestas que ayuden a minimizar esta terrible situación. Los museos también pueden focalizarse en proporcionar más cuidado que redunde en la generación de bienestar en la población que desencadene una reducción del estrés y de la ansiedad. El Museo Universidad de Navarra, consciente de la gravedad de la pandemia y del papel que el arte puede desempeñar para paliar sus consecuencias, dando así un servicio a la comunidad, ha creado un programa específico con la intención de proporcionar cuidado, bienestar y reducción del estrés: el programa QuidArte. Con esta intención se ha programado un amplio abanico de propuestas artísticas: conciertos, espectáculos de danza, teatro, talleres y conferencias que utilizan, de forma interdisciplinar y creativa, tanto las artes plásticas como las artes escénicas.
