A day of architecture, art and design with… Solo Gallery
Caniche Editorial has perpetrated three ephemeral exhibitions and has published 15 books this year, a year in which this production company has been in existence for eight years. Like the dog that gives them their name, this independent project stands on four legs and adapts like a glove to each context or artist with the aim of sniffing out little-known authors they consider worth discovering.
We talked to the architect, an expert in urbanism and urban planning, about the challenges of this little-known but no less important discipline. For Rodríguez Montejano, architecture is a public service, a tool for building a city not only from the aesthetic point of view, but also from what cannot be seen.
On the occasion of Architecture Month and within the framework of the Open House Madrid and COAM's Architecture Week festivals, ART U READY presents an exhibition with urbanism as the focus, from the point of view of a group of transversal artists, very committed to architecture and the city. The exhibition will be held at El Invernadero.
For decades, the search for beauty has been the hallmark of Rue Vintage 74, a project by Piluca Hueso and her mother that takes them around the world to find extraordinary pieces that are always exhibited in a very special way in the spaces they have created in a small street in the Prosperidad neighbourhood.
With fifteen years of experience and a scholarship from the Spanish Academy in Rome in 2018, the photographer Juan Baraja (Toledo, 1984), with a studio in Madrid, has worked and exhibited for leading art foundations, including the ICO Museum, where he himself was immersed in the work of his masters. He scrutinises the textures and details of architecture, one of his greatest passions, and captures them through intimate and suggestive projects. He is currently exhibiting his project Norlandia, an analysis of the fishing sector in Iceland, at the RAC Foundation in Pontevedra until 28 May, and talks to The Sibarist about his meticulous work and his interesting creative journey.
Juan Pablo Rodríguez Frade visits The Sibarist to tell us about the refurbishment project of the emblematic Arquería de Nuevos Ministerios which, as well as being the new headquarters of the Enaire Foundation in Madrid, will maintain its essence as a space dedicated to disseminating, promoting and researching architectural heritage.
ART U READY returns during ARCO week with the artistic duo ELIURPI, formed by Elisabet Urpí and Nacho Umpiérrez. "Retratos circulares" delves into the most intimate side of the artists. We will be able to see their new sculptural and pictorial creations, and also their first book "ELIURPI", where they incorporate photography as an artistic discipline as well as the creation of some pieces of furniture.
Marisa Santamaría is an essential figure in the world of design for countless reasons. She is an explorer of innovation through design. You could say that she carries a Swiss precision compass in her pocket that indicates where trends in design, architecture, lifestyle and contemporary movements live and where they are heading.
Today we are with Mayice in a very special place. They are Marta Alonso and Imanol Calderón, product designers and architects whose studio has managed to position itself internationally as one of the most innovative. The space, an almost mystical place, with a history as peculiar as its unique appearance. It is a shoe shop project that never came to be, but was designed by the architect Francisco Alonso following the dream of its owner Manuel Losada, who wanted a space on a par with the best art galleries in the world for his shoe collections.
OPEN HOUSE MADRID is back from 23 to 25 September. This year we are once again participating with El Invernadero and we are incorporating two icons of contemporary architecture: Casa de Blas, by the architect Alberto Campo Baeza, and Casa Huarte, by Corrales and Vázquez Molezún, protagonists of this edition of the festival.
