Test Dept are proud to announce that they will feature in the 'Machinations' exhibition, opening on 20/06/23 at the prestigious National Centre of Art Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid.

...the primordial role of the machine is “to machinate”; namely, to conspire against established power, to imagine new possible assemblages, to invent the necessary means for radical transformation.
...Machinations explores different forms of resistance, coalition and creativity that materialises in the present...

The works presented stretch across a broad array of formats and techniques that approach drawing, painting, comic books, sculpture, theatre, dance, performance, installation, film, video and animation from a critical perspective.
