Max Andrews reviews Ibon Aranberri’s survey exhibition “Entresaka”, the ARTIUM Museoa – Museo de Arte Contemporáneo del País Vasco in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country) for frieze magazine:
“The exhibition’s evocative title, ‘Entresaka’ (‘thinning’ in the Basque language), accounts for the show’s apparent evasiveness, evoking the forestry management practice of selectively felling individual trees in order to promote overall woodland health and diversity. The artist’s most representative and extensive projects are duly cut down as if to their stumps in order that more marginal works may be afforded more light.”

The exhibition has been coproduced with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, where it was presented between November 2023 and March 2024 under the title “Vista parcial” (Partial View). It is co-curated by Manuel Borja-Villel and Beatriz Herráez.
