My new favorite museum -- MUSAC -- has a few shows up at the moment you should know about.

I covered 24 horas 10 minutos by Salvador Cidrá and Love for eternity by Terence Koh both opening 09.27.08 and running through 01.11.09. Read all about them here. Also showing is Paul Pfeiffer. Monologue, the first solo show in Spain by the American artist.

Conceived as a select overview of the artist's production from the past decade, this exhibition, which also includes recently produced projects, examines some of the fundamental pillars of a body of work that is outstanding in the United States art scene, where it is among the most recognized and influential of its generation.

Paul Pfeiffer belongs to a generation of artists who have explored and experimented with the use of new technologies in a creative process that unfolds in media as diverse as video, installation, sculpture and photography. For his most widely recognized work, the artist digitally alters old film footage or T.V. sports events from which he eventually erases the main characters of the scenes, dissecting the role played by the mass media in the contemporary obsession and cult of celebrity.

Read more about the exhibit and the artist here. Don't forget to check out his Wiki, as well as a bio on Art:21's site and this page with a partial interview and videos of Pfeiffer's work.

Although not an artworld super star, Pfeiffer has been working steadily for for nearly 20 years and has had solo shows at some of the biggest names in the game. He's had solo shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Barbican Arts Centre, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and has participated in the Whitney Biennial and the Venice Biennale.
