There are endless things in the world that are uncharacteristic and ordinary, which simply meet normal expectations. And to know the exceptions we must cultivate the intellect. For example, the more curious know that Hendrick's gin could never be included in the banal list.

 

And this unique brew from the Scottish town of Girvan is distilled in small remittances with an unusual distillation process. So that you do not remain with the doubt, we will tell you that, in this succession of events that are carried out to achieve the peculiarity of gin, botanists, infusion of Bulgarian rose and a touch of Belgian cucumber are the protagonists.

Misterpiro in Hendrick's Space Art Madrid

 

 

Hendricks's gin has sought a good ally to come to Art Madrid'17: the urban an visual artist Misterpiro. With his unusual use of paint, his ethereal and watery finish and his unique color palette, Misterpiro will live the most distinctive Hendrick's emblem. Do not know what it is? His canvas, a cucumber.

You will see him at Hendrick's Space on Wednesday, February 22, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM and from Thursday 23 to Sunday, February 26, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM.

 

 

 

 

Misterpiro, Madrid (1994). Visual and urban artist. Graduated in Design at the Complutense University of Madrid. He started on the streets with graffiti, then continued experimenting with watercolors and acrylics in his studio until he managed to unite the two techniques in a unique style, full of life and color, bringing the delicacy of the watercolor to the new support of the exterior wall. His technique is based on improvisation, where the aggressive quality of the spray and the subtlety of the gouges are mixed in all kinds of supports. In their works, the fluidity of water and the volatility of the atmosphere fill with expression and light a world that transports us from figuration to complete abstraction.

THE “GOLD RUSH”, BY SEBASTIÃO SALGADO

The CEART opens this Thursday, November 14th in the room A an exhibition dedicated to this master of photography, which will be open to the public until February 9th. The show includes one of the artist's latest projects, focused on the hard work carried out by the miners of Serra Pelada, an open gold mine in the heart of Brazil where employees daily risked their lives.

Immigration, poverty, marginal life, slave labour, man's relationship with the land, the use of natural resources... are issues that have always fascinated Salgado. From the beginning of his career as a photographer, his work has opted to give visibility to the most disadvantaged groups and to create with his images a vivid and impressive visual story without fakes. With a raw black and white, this author's work transits between photo-reportage and naturalistic photography.

And the idea that permeates all his work is human dignity. Salgado portrays employees, miners and gatherers from a purely humanistic approach that wants to value their integrity, their strength and their resilience.

“If you photograph a human, so that he is not represented in a noble way, there is no reason to take the picture. That is my way of seeing things.”

Salgado entered this discipline long after completing his studies in economics between Brazil and the United States, and a doctorate in statistics in France. But in 1973 his life took a turn, and he decided to start his career as a photographer. He achieved to work at the Gamma Agency and Magnum Photos for more than 15 years until in 1994 he founded his own agency “Amazonas Imagen”.

With the “Gold” project, the photographer portrays a harsh reality that takes place in the Serra Pelada mine, a name given to a totally devastated and anarchically excavated mining enclave, the world's largest open-pit gold mine, through which more than 50,000 people have passed. In the heat of the legends about the mysterious “El Dorado”, the enthusiasm for this precious metal led to the development of strenuous exploitation practices for the workers and to originate tales of grief and glory, of human victory and defeat between the soil, the tunnels and the cargo baskets.

The CEART exhibition brings together Salgado's full portfolio in his characteristical black and white and large-format photographs that leave no one indifferent.
