MACVAC, the Vicente Aguilera Cerni Museum of Contemporary Art in Vilafamés, is presenting 'La alegría del papel', an exhibition of works from the collection of Cinto Llorca that forms part of the museum’s MARTE Orbital context. According to the museum’s July 2022 agenda, the show opened on 18 June and runs until 1 October 2022 in Vilafamés, Spain.
The project places Llorca’s paper-based works in direct conversation with pieces from MACVAC’s own holdings that are also on paper. The museum describes the collection as heterogeneous and emphasizes the visual differences between the works, while underscoring that they are intended to challenge any assumption that a paper support is secondary or merely preparatory. The exhibition’s title, 'La alegría del papel', frames that argument positively, focusing attention on paper as a material of artistic consequence rather than a preliminary stage.
The exhibition is presented in the context of MARTE Orbital, linking it to the broader network of activities associated with MARTE. That framing situates the display within a programmatic relationship between the museum and a wider art-fair or orbiting initiative, but the verified source material identifies only the exhibition’s connection to MARTE Orbital and the fact that it is being shown at MACVAC in Vilafamés.
MACVAC’s agenda text says the works will “dialogue” with the museum’s own collection. This emphasis on conversation between Llorca’s holdings and the museum’s fonds suggests a curatorial focus on material affinities as much as on individual authorship. The source also notes that the exhibition aims to reclaim a material that is often undervalued and relegated to the early phases of artistic creation. No further artist biography or curatorial quotation is provided in the source material.
The show appears alongside other museum activity in the same July agenda, but 'La alegría del papel' is presented as a distinct exhibition item. For the purposes of this announcement, the verified details are straightforward: Cinto Llorca’s paper works are on view at MACVAC, they are shown in dialogue with works from the museum’s collection on paper, and the exhibition remains open through 1 October 2022.
MACVAC’s address is C. Diputació, 20, 12192 Vilafamés, Castellón, Spain, and the museum lists its contact details and website at macvac.es. The exhibition period is 18 June to 1 October 2022.
