Teresa Solar Abboud. Bird Machine Dream
Teresa Solar Abboud’s solo exhibition at MACBA traverses the artist’s trajectory with works that highlight the sculptural spectrum of her work.
Opening to the public on 21 November, Bird Machine Dream is the second chapter of a three-part project that began at the CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo with the title Machine Dream Bird and will end its journey at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo with the title Bird Dream Machine
On view at MACBA through 9 March, the exhibition Bird Machine Dream features a selection of the work of Teresa Solar Abboud (Madrid, 1985) curated by Tania Pardo, director of CA2M, and Claudia Segura Campins, head of the MACBA Collection. Solar Abboud arrives to the museum at the peak of her career with an installation of small and large format sculptures, some of them already exhibited at CA2M. At MACBA these are accompanied by drawings, videos, workbooks and photographs. Both the artist and curators intend for the spectator to move beyond the sculptural presence that characterizes Solar’s most recent work in order to access the conceptual and aesthetic paths that have determined her work since its beginnings.
In Bird Machine Dream, the visitor will traverse the exhibition through an immersive imaginary that engages with the museum’s own architecture, a practice that has become a vital characteristic of Solar Abboud’s approach to exhibition-making: ‘When I first visit a space where I will work, I try to understand how it affects me. I think it is likely that my sensations are similar to those of the people who move through and experience that particular space, so I think they create the best bridge to connect with them’, states the artist.
This exhibition offers the opportunity to better understand the work of Solar Abboud. Among the most prominent artists of her generation, she has already exhibited at the Venice Biennale and the Liverpool Biennial in addition to other international institutions. In 2022, MACBA acquired two sculptures from her Tunnel Boring Machine series for its collection.

The project, driven by the CA2M Museum and MACBA, presents a solo exhibition of Teresa Solar Abboud, curated by Tania Pardo and Claudia Segura. The exhibition immerses us in the journey of an artistic practice that since its beginnings has asked the same questions about the encounter between space and time, appealing to a contemporary, fragmentary and constantly moving subject.
