-The Valencia Institute of Modern Art (IVAM) will be holding two new and highly recommendable exhibitions. First, ‘Annette Messager. Púdico – Público’, where a sample of the artist’s works will be displayed. This artist is known for using every-day objects traditionally seen as having very little value, and putting them to different uses to change the feelings that they evoke. Also, ‘Against the tide. Half a century of Valencian female artists’ will be open until Sunday 2nd September. This exhibition recreates the path that Valencian female artists have had to take to achieve visibility and professionalisation, starting at the end of the Primo de Rivera dictatorship and the Second Republic, continuing with the Franco regime and ending with the 1980s.
