The exhibition offers a deep dive into Chillida&#8217;s artistic evolution and his tireless exploration of the boundaries between matter and emptiness.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The exhibition is particularly noteworthy for including pieces from his famous Gravitations series, where the artist experimented with relief and the suspension of paper. Through this journey, visitors can understand how Chillida managed to &#8220;make space dream,&#8221; transforming heavy materials into poetic dialogues with the architectural environment of the Conde Duque.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hammersh\u00f8i: El ojo que escucha<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Lugar:<\/strong> Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza<br><strong>Fecha m\u00e1xima:<\/strong> 31 de mayo de 2026<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":466,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/madrid-go.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Vilhelm-Hammershoi-madrid-go.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-466\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This is the first retrospective in Spain dedicated to the Danish painter Vilhelm Hammersh\u00f8i.
