As an independent curator, Rosa Martínez has organised international exhibitions, including the 51st Venice Biennale with "Always a Little Further" at the Arsenale (2005).
[1] The title of this exhibition was taken from a Corto Maltese book written by the Venetian-writer Hugo Pratt.
In her curatorial statement Martínez elaborates on this by stating: "Taking a fictional character as inspiration is a way of affirming that art is an imaginary construct and that fantasy helps us towards a better understanding of reality".
[4] Her collaboration with the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in 2007 helped to update its contemporary collection, including works by outstanding young artists.
In 2009, Martínez contributed to a publication that shed light on significant works from the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao collection in different historical and artistic contexts.
