OPEN BOOTH X LIQUITEX: A GATHERING OF VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE

The site specific "Reunión de gente importantísima", conceived especially for Art Madrid, proposes a subversive look at the context of social relations established in the art world. With a touch of humor, a naive aesthetic, and an intentionality that could seem candid, the work represents a meeting of people in a VIP area as a satire or comic strip.

PERFORMANCE: MOTHERHOOD 4. BREASTFEEDING. TERESA BÚA

This work invites us to witness the beauty of the maternal experience as a source of creativity in the intercession of life and production as interconnected forces in the human experience. In this piece, Teresa Búa presents numerical poetry as a self-affirmation of the state of being. To raise is the highest expression of creating, to give life is the superlative production.

PERFORMANCE: ARTISTS BINGO. SARA GEMA DOMINGUEZ

Chance is a constant in our life and the context in which an artist is born or develops is essential to determine his position in the market or his mere recognition. The idea of play and the models that revolve around it - as Allan Kaprow proposed - produce a change of roles and the artist then becomes a player.

PERFORMANCE: VACIO FROM THE SERIES FOMO. MONICA EGIDO

This project aims to give visibility to this social problem and create a space for debate to talk about an issue that affects thousands of people. We must ask what is the origin of the desire to be connected to what others are doing at all times, and what are its effects at the individual level, from a neuroscientific and psychological point of view; and what are its effects at the social level, from an anthropological and philosophical point of view.

FRANCESCA POZA: POETICIZING THE MATERIAL

Among its many virtues, thread has its meaning, both real and imagined. It is a word that oozes poetry and makes us think of following a trail, sometimes infinite. Francesca Poza (Mataró, 1965) adds the written word to the many virtues of thread, giving her works a firmness that is always delicate but almost impossible to break. She weaves between letters and memory, pieces that seek to establish what has been lived, to leave a trace in a world that is increasingly ephemeral, more fleeting, more liquid, more elusive. In his work, poetry, literature and time intertwine in a harmonious way, resulting in creations of beautiful originality that are as subtle as they are powerful.

JUAN MIGUEL QUIÑONES: THE MEMORIES OF THE STONE

Juan Miguel Quiñones, self-taught, carves these memories in stone so that neither air nor maturity can take them away. He works and studies with vehemence the materials with which to recreate them, and with that ingenuity that can only be achieved by mastering the language and the technique, he manages to make anyone who comes across his creations breathe a sigh of nostalgia.

SUNCITYBOY: THE EMPIRE OF THE EMOJI

It is always difficult to create one's own universe, this complication increases when this universe is populated by characters known and recognized by all, who are part of the imagination of many, inventing on what already exists is doubly difficult. Suncityboy (Tver, Russia, 1984) has invented a world inhabited by fairy tale characters and cultural icons who share a common denominator: they are formed by small balls that assemble an impossible body with an emoji face and, despite the initial strangeness, immediately evoke empathy and familiarity.

LECTURAS CURATED WALKTHROUGHS X ART MADRID

Lecturas: Curated Walkthroughs X Art Madrid is one of the initiatives that is part of the Parallel Program of the 19th edition of Art Madrid. For the occasion, we have invited two curators and cultural mediators to accompany the exhibition proposals of this edition; from their places of enunciation, both curators propose two thematic tours that dialogue in a unique way with the reality of our social context. The guest curators will select ten works from the broad spectrum of artistic proposals presented by the galleries participating in this edition to show, from a critical perspective, how alternative discourses can be constructed around the issues that currently permeate the invisible line that separates art from life.

DANIEL SCHWEITZER: THE FRACTAL GEOMETRY

When you research Daniel Schweitzer (Germany, 1988), you come face to face with fractal geometry, and you may feel the panic of the unknown, the panic of entering terrain in which you are not comfortable. But you soon realize that Daniel uses geometry to help us fill the void. He uses repetition as a quest to reach an unattainable infinity.

ALEJANDRO MONGE: CHRONICLER OF HIS TIME

It is difficult not to stop in front of the works of Alejandro Monge (Zaragoza, 1988), but beyond the initial legitimate curiosity, we discover characters about whom we ask ourselves questions: where they come from, where they are going, what they observe, what they listen to, what they think. There are few certainties and many questions to be answered, perhaps because for Monge the future is a place full of questions and therefore worries, and perhaps also, or perhaps not, because it is the only place where we are constantly moving. We may not know where we are going, but we are always moving towards tomorrow, and that tomorrow is the territory towards which his sculptures move.
