The Contemporary Art Centre of Málaga presents Robin Dostoyevsky by Andy Hope 1930, the first solo exhibition in Spain on one of Germany’s most internationally celebrated artists.Open 8 April to 19 June 2011.

Nine, large-format works and a sculptural piece, all produced between 2010 and 2011 and never previously exhibited, comprise the contents of this exhibition by Andy Hope 1930, on display in the Centre’s Espacio 2. The eclectic repertoire of characters, symbols and icons that characterise the work of an artist devoted to comics and science fiction is evident in the exhibition’s title, which is an imaginary fusion of Robin, the companion of Batman’s comic-book adventures, and the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the forerunner of Existentialism. Through this disconcerting combination, Andy Hope 1930 reveals his ability to reinterpret spaces, characters and past eras in order to transform them into a new reality.
