Exhibitions are catalysts of relationships: the invisible relationships between artists, institutions, and their socio-cultural context, through which exhibitions constructed cultural narratives, circulated artistic value, and contributed to the formation of national artistic ideals. Bárbara Romero Ferrón focuses on the study of art exhibitions from a computational approach, specifically using network analysis and complex systems theory. She shows how exhibitions operate as interconnected arenas rather than isolated events that happen over time. This guides readers through a detailed case study of nineteenth-century Spanish art, revealing how exhibitions actively shaped ideas of what Spanish art was.
