Isabel Rocamora's exhibition, The Intimacy of Violence, extends to the Arts Santa Monica Museum where, suspended in its stairwell, we find the moving image dyptich, Fear, Defence, Disappearance (2011); until 12th June. Through an exploration of the simile between the blockhouses found on the Normandy beaches –now disused vestiges of the Second World War– and the young, fierce bodies of today's soldiers in training, this work questions established notions on the necessity for conflict and the mental and physical structures of defence built around it.

Jaime Sunico is an artist that works with portrait painting. In these portraits are presented solemn faces of anonymous people in a uniform format that generates tensions and correspondences.The portrait is a traditional theme in the history of art, but Súnico focuses  from a risky conceptual perspective. Close-ups of faces are characterized by the use of saturated colors and a distinct material of the compositions. This riot of color and volume provides sculptural bas-relief profile to works. Thus, the paint manifests an explicit sensuality contrast to the harshness with which  Súnico treats the sitters.

From the 2 March 2011, the Centre Pompidou will show a one-man show of Jean-Michel Othoniel’s work from the beginnings of his career in 1987 to the present day.
