The Minister of Culture and Sports, Miquel Iceta, will take his appointment to the Council of Ministers tomorrow Tuesday
The news of his appointment as the new director of the Reina Sofía caught Manuel Segade in the museum, at the 2023 Ojo Crítico awards. «The first thing I want to say is to publicly thank both the committee of experts and the Royal Board of Trustees and the Ministry of Culture: I am happy and eager to face the task of offering the best Reina Sofía Museum that I am capable of. On the other hand, I would like to express my respect for the rest of the candidacies: it seems that there have been many people I admire and I think it is a shame that the secrecy guaranteed by the bases of the process has not been respected.
Lastly, he concluded, it is a source of pride for the Dos de Mayo Art Center Museum, which I still direct. The Community of Madrid has in Móstoles one of the most important contemporary art museums in Spain. I think my choice proves once again that in contemporary culture, what is apparently minor or geographically peripheral makes a fundamental contribution.”
«We celebrate the appointment of Segade because it is recognition of his work and because it shows that there are great professionals and experts in their field at the forefront of the Community institutions. Manuel Segade has done a great job at CA2M”, they celebrate from the Ministry of Culture of the Community of Madrid.
The Minister of Culture and Sports, Miquel Iceta, will bring to the Council of Ministers tomorrow Tuesday the appointment of Manuel Segade as the new director of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, replacing Manuel Borja-Villel, who resigned from running the institution last month of January.
