Ouka Leele receives a special posthumous tribute at the Reial Societat Fotogràfica de Madrid. From 6 June to 29 July, the exhibition El universo de una estrella will showcase a special selection of the artist’s most iconic photographs, as well as drawings and paintings never before seen by the public. Organised by the Reial Societat Fotogràfica de Madrid as part of the PHotoESPAÑA 2023 festival.

Curated and organised by: María Rosenfeldt, Ana Banaan y María Redondo; Enrique Sanz Ramírez y Angélica de la Llave.

From 8 June to 20 July, the city of Paris is hosting the Cuzin/Mont exhibition at the Bernard Jordan gallery. In this exhibition, Miquel Mont engages in a direct dialogue with the artist Christophe Cuzin: in their work, the formal games and ambiguities between the written word and artistic conceptualisation are more than evident. In the words of the exhibition’s curator: “There is a mathematics of dyslexia. Interestingly, it is not a mathematics of chance or probability, but a mathematics of proximity and permutability that brings the two artists together. Christophe Cuzin never really chooses the colours he uses, so this time Miquel Mont takes the reins. Conversely, the frontality of Miquel’s collages finds depth in the indifference of Christophe Cuzin’s devices. More generally, the use of dyslexia as a method is particularly consistent with the approach of both artists”.

On 8 June, Andrés Galeano presents his project “Neophogram” at La Capella in Barcelona. Combining art, science and technology, the Nephogram application calculates how many grams of CO2 an image emits when it is uploaded to a social network. By uploading a photo to Nephogram, it is automatically compressed and thus reduces its ecological footprint and impact. Don’t miss it!

Gloria Oyarzabal is another of the great photographers from the RocioSantaCruz gallery who will be present at PHotoESPAÑA. The exhibition Una Visión Propia is dedicated to photography by women. Beginning with a nod to Virginia Woolf in the title, it defends women’s own vision through portraits of outstanding heroines of the current cultural scene. In the case of Oyarzabal, the artist photographs Colita, revealing a deep admiration between both Photographers, in capital letters.

From 31.05.2023-27.08.2023 at the Museo Lázaro Galdiano, Madrid. Organised by: Cómo ser fotógrafa, Museo Lázaro Galdiano and PHotoESPAÑA.

Also as part of PHotoESPAÑA, Gloria Oyarzabal will be showing her entry for the Fundación Enaire Awards, which was one of the 15 best selected by the jury. In the photographs on show, the artist continues to work on issues of race and its marginalisation from a Western perspective, a theme that runs through all her work. Don’t miss it!

From 01.06.2023-27.08.2023 at the Real Jardín Botánico, Madrid. Organised by: Fundación Enaire; Curated by Ángeles Imaña
