The Andalusian landscape and Miguel's Regina at the CAAC
The Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art inaugurates 'Sing a Stone'.
The Malaga artist, resident in Berlin, reflects on extremophile forms and transforms the East Cloister of the Cartuja Monastery into a laboratory and scientific temple. From May 29 to January 11, 2026, the CAAC will be able to see Regina de Miguel. Canta una pedra, curated by Jimena Blázquez -director of the museum-.
A new exhibition at the CAAC where it reveals mythological dimensions, cosmic, telluric, ancestral elements, deity, myth, historical wealth and social approach of the Andalusian territory with works created for the occasion. Regina de Miguel transforms the space so that extremophile life forms can become metaphors and matter for reflection. Space of doubts, questions, uncertainty, silenced voices and technological elements, a set where this creation transforms into insurgent presences, questioning the systems that delimit everything possible.

The journey created by Regina de Miguel begins with L'últim terme que arriba la vista from 2010, one of the emblematic works of her career. Here she creates an emotional cartography where images of icebergs are combined with statistical data on loneliness, depression and suicide, proposing a creation with a symbolic geography of inner collapse.
From Nekya, a film that laughs, a proposal that from Tartessos to the present to find us with the largest ceramic sculpture created by the Andalusian artist that marks the end of the exhibition route. The three-dimensional piece simulates an open-cut mine and represents the memory of mining in southern Spain. Later, we arrive at La vida en Conamara II, a work in collaboration with the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Seville, and there we find obsidian stones in a tribute to the baroque painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.
The title Canta una pedra raises an interrogation about the relationship that the human being establishes with all those elements that he considers animate or inanimate, challenging the duality and dichotomy between nature and culture. Regina de Miguel has created a universe full of materials through installations, paintings, watercolors, audiovisual pieces, engravings on metal and ceramics, to see a journey from layer to layer until reaching the most hidden, inhospitable and silenced element.
‘Fulgor’ (2025), Regina de Miguel. ‘Canta una piedra’, CAAC, Sevilla. Cortesia de la artista. Fotograf Pepe Morón.
From 2025 is the series of watercolors Fulgor on the mural painting of the same name. Each piece functions as an incomplete unit that recalls cellular structures as planetary systems. The curator explains that these are pieces that demand a slowed-down attention as an invocation to what remains without becoming fully visible. The CAAC reaffirms its commitment to artistic production from a critical, collaborative perspective and linked to the closest environment.
