Artist Diogo Pimentão exhibits EM CONTACTO at VNBM Arte Contemporánea, from 11.11.2023 to 28.01.2023. In the show, Diogo Pimentão’s graphite creations explore the fascinating crossover between drawing and sculpture, revealing the tensions and connections between both media. Paper is transformed into sculptures that evoke the appearance of steel, capturing the essence of bodily gesture in drawing strokes, and fusing raw building materials to give life to fragile works where destruction and reconstruction are inseparably intertwined.

Thank you very much to all of you who joined us last Saturday 28th during the special reading of the correspondence between John Berger and his son Yves Berger, with the special intervention of Isabel Coixet.

From RocioSantaCruz gallery we would like to thank Isabel Coixet and Yves Berger for their generosity in sharing their family and personal relationship with John Berger, who was one of the most influential writers and art critics of the last decades.

As part of the exhibition ‘Todo paisaje es una metáfora’, Javier del Camp San José (director of the CAB in Burgos) conducts this interview, in which he explains and contextualises all of Pepo Hernando’s artistic production presented in the exhibition.

In the gallery called 001. PhotoVision. Reflexión y debate en la creación fotográfica (PhotoVision. Reflection and debate in photographic creation) are presented works from the series Peluquería (Hairdresser’s) by the artist Ouka Leele. This section of the exhibition, Communicating Vessels, explores the 1980s in relation to photographic production. During this period, photography centres were set up in Spain to research, exhibit and disseminate national photography, as well as specialised magazines, biennials and events that allowed for debate and photographic creation.

Issue 86 of Umbigo magazine is out with a special issue on Connection/Disconnection. It includes a special article on Nephogram, Andrés Galeano’s project in the form of an application that calculates how many grams of CO2 an image emits when it is uploaded to a social network. When a photo is uploaded to Nephogram, it is automatically compressed, reducing its carbon footprint and impact.

The photographer Gloria Oyarzabal participates in the 10th edition of the international photography festival SCAN (Tarragona), with the exhibition “Traces of light. Memories of the photographic image” curated by Érika Goyarrola.

With the work “Usus fructus abusus” Oyarzabal updates present-day colonial approaches by revisiting the events and legends of the past. However, she uses photography as an instrument of social and political vindication.

We share Isabel Navarro’s interesting article on the work of Pilar Aymerich, published in El Diario. Under the title Pilar Aymerich, la fotógrafa que no quiso ser objetiva, acerca su memoria de “brujas” adúlteras y feministas, Isabel Navarro brings us closer to Aymerich’s photography in the exhibition Memoria Vivida, at the Círculo de Bellas Artes until 07.01.2024.

The exhibition “popular”, curated by Pedro G. Romero, proposes an expanded re-reading of the collection of the Institut Valencià d’Art Modern based on the concept that gives the exhibition its title. With more than 1500 pieces on display, Oriol Vilapuig and Miguel Trillo take part with works that allow an approach to the understanding of the popular as, in the words of Pedro G. Romero, “a form of imagination […] that is produced through gestures, actions and parties, in very strange ways”.
