The exhibition Atlas by the artist Miguel Trillo, represented by the RocioSantaCruz gallery, documents the boom of the 1980s from the perspective of urban tribes. The exhibition will be held at the Sala Concepción Arenal (Espacio Cultural Los Arenales, Cantabria) from 01.09.2023-31.10. 2023, the freedom experienced by young people during the transition to democracy can be enjoyed through three series: Asiatown, which focuses on the attitudes of the youth culture that has emerged in the mega-cities of the Asian continent; Fictions, a journey into the universe of manga, otakus and cosplayers; and Pasarela Street, snapshots of the audience at the fashion weeks held in the cities that set the trends today.

Exhibition framed in PHotoESPAÑA programation.

The artist Oriol Vilapuig presents the project “Formes d’oli i aigua” in the Church of Sant Joan d’Isil. Located in the emblematic setting of Pallars Sobirà, the Romanesque building houses the expansion of “Son”, Vilapuig’s intervention at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya in 2020. In both projects the artist uses the frottage technique to transfer the sculptural reliefs of different stone spikes from the 11th and 12th centuries in highly symbolic drawings.

From 07.21.2023 to 08.31.2023 – Church of Sant Joan a Isil (Alt Àneu, les Valls d’Àneu)

The artist Montserrat Soto will inaugurate the exhibition Por divina at the Palau Quintanar in Segòvia on 07.07.2023. The exhibition, which will be open from 07.07.2023 to 15.11.2023, presents a research process that brings together 15 years of work, from images and texts to photographs and sculptures. Curated by Alicia Murría, the exhibition offers a reading of the structure of the centuries based on civilisations and their preservation of the thinking of those characterised as “dominated” by “dominators”.

At the Marcelo Guarnieri Gallery (São Paulo, Brazil), from July 8 to August 5, 50 photographs taken by Germán Lorca from 1940 to 2010 will be on view. The exhibition Geometria das Sombras also brings together the “Geometry of Shadows Series,” composed of 24 images developed by Lorca in 2014, and will be on view for the first time.

During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) Antoni Campañà took one of the most iconic photographs of the conflict: a militia woman, until recently anonymous, holding the CNT flag on one of the barricades built in Barcelona. Ninety years after the photograph was taken, her identity is discovered: Anita Garbín, a militiaman exiled in 1939 who never knew that her image would become one of the most recognisable images of the conflict. The photograph is part of the exhibition “Icônes Cachées. Les images méconnues de la guerre d’Espagne (1936-1939)”, held at the Pavillon Populaire in Montpellier.

“La Miliciana infinita” is a documentary that will soon be broadcast on TV3, in which the entire historical study that led to the recognition of the identity of the woman portrayed by Campañà is recorded.

Gonzalo Elvira participates in the documentary “CAB Burgos”, in which Metropolis RTVE portrays the day-to-day life of the Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos. On the occasion of its twentieth anniversary, the programme focuses on the ecosystem of the museum space as well as its exhibitions: Gonzalo Elvira and his “Reading the dream” are part of the report, in which the artist comments in first person on the exhibition framed in the exhibition season 2022.

The RedCollectors platform, dedicated to the sale and dissemination of contemporary art, has selected works by Pilar Aymerich and Colita to celebrate Pride month. For this selection they invited Javier Díaz-Guardiola, who has added Kathy, Transexual en su habitación de la Cúpula Venus en Las Ramblas, Barcelona (1972) and Ocaña y Camilo (1977) to his repertoire of LGTBIQA+ art.

The gallery would like to thank Javier Díaz-Guardiola for selecting the photographs of Pilar Aymerich and Colita. Both portrayed the outsiders of the seventies, who fought against their own dissidence every day. Thanks to those who ran yesterday, we can run today. We would also like to thank RedCollectors for organising such an important and necessary event that makes visible the multifaceted reality of contemporary art.
