La Casa de la Provincia de la Diputación adopts a special schedule for the visit of its exhibitions during the celebration of the Feria de Sevilla. From Monday, May 5th to Sunday, May 11th, the headquarters of the organization will be open at its location in Plaza del Triunfo, between 10:00 and 14:00 hours.
The public interested in combining the exhibition offer of the Casa de la Provincia with the activities of the Feria de Abril can visit both the two permanent exhibitions — ‘Despacho Plácido Fernández Viagas’ and ‘La Imprenta de San Eloy. Pinturas de Joaquín Sáenz’ — as well as the three temporary ones currently taking place, as reported in a press release.
In this sense, these exhibitions are ‘Carteles de Toros de la Maestranza de Sevilla. Tres siglos de tauromaquia en la colección de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla’, in Sala Triunfo until May 11th; ‘Simbolismo y poética corporeidad. Esculturas de Patricia Larrea’, in Sala Romero Murube; and ‘La Asunción de Cantillana. LXXV Aniversario del Dogma Asuncionista’, which opens this Friday.
In the first of them, the Fundación de Estudios Taurinos, the Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla, and the Casa de la Provincia de la Diputación de Sevilla present a selected repertoire of the collection of posters from the Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla, through faithful reproductions that respond to the restoration process initiated years ago by the Maestranza Corporation for its better preservation.
Comprising nearly a hundred copies, it traces a journey through three centuries of history of this bullring. ‘Simbolismo y poética corporeidad. Esculturas de Patricia Larrea’ is an exhibition organized by the Otoño Cultural Iberoamericano and the Fundación Caja Rural del Sur, which offers a parallel reading of the different decades of her artistic career.
Patricia Larrea Almeida is a multidisciplinary artist, whose broad training allows her to integrate various fields, explore the unknown, and respect traditional techniques. Additionally, she combines different materials and delves into artistic installation. «The artist’s work is symbolic, heterogeneous, and at the same time poetic. Symbolic because she is communicating something to someone, Heterogeneous because, despite having a preference for wood and bronze, she does not hesitate to use other materials that allow her to express her ecological and environmental concerns.»
The last of the temporary exhibitions, which opens this Friday afternoon and will remain open until May 17th, aims to convey to visitors the idiosyncrasy of this brotherhood, with an exhibition that covers its origins and early years of existence, through belongings and documentation; the genuine Fiesta de la Subida a Su Trono de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, with emblematic pieces, the rituals; the figure of the Assumptionist Padre Arias, or the secular devotion of the people of Cantillana, among other aspects.
