The cycle is based on Ferdinand Magellan’s famous expedition to the Spice Islands between 1519 and 1522, in which he circumnavigated the Earth for the first time. A maritime quantum leap of enormous audacity, but also the beginning of Europe’s colonial past.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the centre, the chronicler Pigafetta and Juan Sebasti\u00e1n Elcano as executors of the expedition; Jakob Fugger in eye contact with Emperor Charles V and Pope Leo X, with his oversized miter obstructing the view… It may look like a simple collection of sculptures, but in reality it is a provocation. The protagonists, taken out of their historical context, transport visitors back to their own present. On the wall, objects in black and white. In five parts, the first route around the globe in ash and charcoal technique on aluminium. Magellan’s five ships, including the Nao Victoria, the only one to return with the first 18 people to circumnavigate the globe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tomorrow, Wednesday, the Foro Cultural Austriaco and the Museo la Neomud\u00e9jar of Madrid present the exhibition Global 500-Lois Fasching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[178,176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture-art","category-leisure"],"yoast_head":"\n
