The second edition of ART U READY gets underway
This was the agenda from 20 to 26 February 2017
For the second consecutive year, art, architecture, interior design and contemporary design came together in Chueca during the week of 20-26 February.
Five unique spaces in the triangle formed by San Mateo, San Lorenzo and Hortaleza streets opened up to the street to share experiences and creation through ART U READY, a unique event framed in the week in which contemporary art is the undisputed protagonist of Madrid.
Nacho Carbonell took part in the round table at the start of ART U READY.
“Art and design, that thin red line”. A new feature this year is that we are incorporating the figure of collecting into our round table. In homage to Argentina, ARCO’s guest country, we have invited the Argentine collector Juan Sendino.
Artists such as Frederik Takkenberg, Robert Handgrave and Fernanda Fragateiro, dialogues of architecture and interior design, unique spaces not open to the public, secret gardens that cease to be secret for a week. Welcome Design and Hat Bar by Hendrick’s in the courtyard of San Lorenzo, 5. The Sibarist 1870 in San Lorenzo, 20. El Invernadero The Sibarist, Heinrich Ehrhardt and Elba Benítez in San Lorenzo, 11. Travesía Cuatro in San Mateo, 16. Fundación Fernando de Castro in San Mateo, 15 and Domesticoshop in Hortaleza, 102.
