Itinerarios XXVII

displays the works of the eight artists selected in the last call for Art Grants of the Botin Foundation: Armando Andrade Tudela (Peru), Lucía Bayón (Spain), Alfonso Borragán ((sic)) (Spain), Gonzalo Elvira (Argentina), Seila Fernández Arconada (Spain), Assaf Gruber (Israel), Joan Morey (Spain) and Ana Santos (Portugal).

Their projects were selected from a total of 428 applications from 42 different countries by a jury made up of artists Maria Bleda and Carlos Bunga (previous grant recipients) and curators Orlando Britto and Maria Ines Rodriguez.

The exhibition culminates the course of this grant, reflecting a breadth of artistic interests and practices.

It will be on view through April 16, 2023 at  Centro Botín in Santander.

With over 130 works from the Solander Collection, An Alternative History of Photography invites you to look again at well-known works and new discoveries by major artists, alongside forgotten greats, regional champions and unknown artists.
Unexpected images by legendary figures including Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, Man Ray and Edward Weston, are paired with work by Helen Stuart and John Lindt, early, self-trained practitioner Lady Augusta Mostyn, and African studio photographers Sanlé Sory, Michel Kameni and Malick Sidibé.
