Art Madrid'26 – Nocapaper in Art Madrid\'16

 

 

 

What is NOCA?

 

NOCA stands for (Not Only Contemporary Art) is a platform dedicated to Art covering several fields, from the publication of books and works, advice or assistance to collectors artists and curating projects.

 

NOCA has published several series of books: POCKET SERIES, in order to bring collectors and the general public the work of contemporary artists. These monographs of contemporary artists are composed of a common structure: a critical trial about the creation of the artist illustrated with works of his career, an interview that gives voice to the creator, a series of illustrations / sketches...

Also publish the BOX SERIES, composed of several stories, books or collections, collected in a special box designed by the artist himself, the CHILD SERIES (to stimulate children's creativity), LARGE SERIES (catalog raisonné), SPECIAL BOOKS (commissions and other special publications).

NOCA has also thought of art collectors, especially of the new collectors, and creates for them the SURPRISE SERIES, original works in limited series, small size and more affordable with which to start a collection of contemporary art. The artists develop 10 pieces similar to each other are part of a miniseries, with its certificate of authenticity and a text on the series.

 

 

 

An important part of the character and philosophy of NOCA is the mix of projects and the search for new formats and for this they have created NOCA GOURMET, a project that is an artistic intervention on boxes of oranges, limited and numbered edition accompanied by a certificate from the artist. Boxes created especially for this project in wood, designed to have a utility beyond being a simple container. Definitely a different way to enjoy art! 

NOCA also gives this year the NOCA Award // Art Madrid focused on the artists of the ONE PROJECT program. An award that recognizes the work and the emerging creation but also the work of young curators, as in this case Carlos Delgado Mayordomo.

At the 21st edition of Art Madrid, Liquitex renews its commitment to contemporary creation, reaffirming its position as a leading brand in professional acrylics and a strategic partner to both emerging and established artists.

Liquitex and the Support of Emerging Talent: Espacio Nebrija

At Art Madrid’26, Liquitex strengthens its dedication to nurturing and professionalizing emerging talent through its sponsorship of Espacio Nebrija, a curatorial initiative developed by Universidad Nebrija. For the second consecutive time, the project offers Fine Arts students the opportunity to make their professional debut within the contemporary art circuit.

Curated by Luis Gárciga, the project proposes a critical reflection on artistic pedagogy, the art market, and technology through the concept NotanIA SipedagogIE—an aesthetic, empathetic, and anti-algorithmic pedagogy that champions Aesthetic Intelligence in response to creative automation.

The stand is conceived as a space of transition, resistance, and experimentation, bringing visibility to the processes, aspirations, and perspectives of a new generation of artists in formation. Thanks to Liquitex’s support, participants have access to professional-grade materials that enable them to develop their projects with complete technical and conceptual freedom, fostering an environment grounded in research, experimentation, and critical inquiry.



Liquitex’s presence at Art Madrid’26 underscores its commitment to a responsible brand model actively engaged with the future of art. Recently awarded B Corp Certification, Liquitex joins a global community of companies dedicated to sustainability, transparency, and social responsibility.

This recognition affirms a long-term vision centered on artistic excellence, environmental stewardship, and support for creative communities—values reflected both in the development of new products and in the brand’s active involvement in cultural initiatives.

At Art Madrid’26, Liquitex continues to champion contemporary creativity, accompanying artists in their exploration of new visual languages and reaffirming that art, when equipped with the right tools, knows no boundaries. Because imagining is always the first step toward transforming reality.
