PAC Plataforma de Arte Contemporáneo, Art Madrid'19 media partner, presents its latest project: Thertify, an innovative application for all art lovers. In an agile and intuitive way, from now on with Thertify, artists, collectors, art galleries, institutions and any other interested person will be able to connect simultaneously through an online platform that allows ordering, certifying and sharing artwork collections.

It is a new application that opens infinite possibilities because it takes in a network that allows storing, classifying, managing and connecting data regarding works that shape an art collection. In addition, it offers a new online authentication format that includes the possibility of certifying the authorship of the piece digitally.

"Connect, organize, classify, save, certify, revalue, disseminate and promote the most current art through Thertify"

As its creators explain, "the art market is undergoing a complete revolution and its transformation comes hand in hand with the Internet. The network has become, not only a tool for managing and art purchasing but also a global showcase where to see and be seen. The digital age has created a new way of enjoying and consuming art and with it new generations of collectors. "If we live in the Information Age, of the new media and virtual reality, why not benefit from the advances that, in the same way, can also be applied to the culture sector?

Available for IOS and for Android, where you can download this revolutionary App and discover a new concept of collecting created for our digital era.

As many of you know, PAC Plataforma de Arte Contemporáneo is one of the cultural digital spaces with the greatest growth and impact of recent years in the Spanish-speaking context. Formed by a young and vital team of editors and collaborators, with Óscar García leading them, they maintain a close relationship with contemporary art, the current exhibition scene and the exhibition circuits.

In addition to the extensive and always updated content it offers, PAC stands out for developing and getting involved in different projects, such as publishing the "Ensayos Absolut", "PAC on Tour" or "#ProyectoPuente", the first Urban Art Auction held in Spain. Among these projects the #NOPORAMORALARTE stands out, becoming one of the most interesting initiatives of the sector. Under this slogan, the project promotes the real, fair and economic recognition of the work of artists and other agents of a sector in which, unfortunately, much remains to be improved in relation to professional practices. PAC achieved the empathy and support of numerous artists, curators and collectors, and even a documentary about the experience was created. Another of the most interesting initiatives is "Woman Art House", coordinated by Sara Torres. The project, born within the Twitter network and today also promoted by PAC, aims to vindicate the role and trajectory of contemporary women artists in the history of art, from a rigorous, educational and inclusive vision.

In the year 2020 in the heart of Barcelona a wandering gallery was born, the same one that in February 2021 would debut at Art Madrid with an exhibition proposal focused on contemporary portraits; with this subject matter it would manage to create a powerful dialogue between artwork and audience and make the seal Inéditad remain in the history of the event that contained it.

Since that first time and until today, the wandering gallery has managed to build projects on otherness, has repositioned in the spotlight the discourses on the LGTBIQ+ collective, has consolidated a group of artists who share its principles of resilience and empathy and the best thing is that it continues to bet from the professionalism and commitment to give voice to the difference.

Inéditad Gallery, thanks to its founder Luis López, its collaborators and the infinite possibilities manifested in the works of the artists it represents, is a gallery that has demonstrated its capacity and courage to stimulate the sensibility of the public through art and seduce a generation that moves between the glass window and the analogical story. Inéditad is a nomadic gallery that has gathered around it a community of artists and has moved the context with exhibition projects that think about LGTBIQ+ art without prejudices.

Pride and Prejudice was inaugurated. An exhibition that brings together the works of sixteen artists: Abel Carrillo, Alex Domènech, Carlos Enfedaque, Silvia Flechoso, Jamalajama, Daniel Jaén, Claudio Petit-Laurent, Jean Carlos Puerto, Fernando Romero, Pablo Rodríguez, Pepa Salas Vilar, Jack Smith, Pablo Sola, Bran Sólo, Elia Tomás and Utürüo. Painting, illustration, photography and digital art are the manifestations that bring into dialogue around fifty neatly threaded pieces, in a discursive line that discusses such a latent phenomenon as discrimination. To achieve this, the artists invited to the exhibition question themselves whether: Does discrimination exist within the LGTBIQ+ collective?

With approaches on and from the body, the proposal invites to celebrate diversity, proposes to question and self-question the prejudices and attitudes of society against the collective. Pride and Prejudice is a space for dialogue about the constructs imposed on us by society. It is also an oasis in which to deconstruct with tolerance and respect the subjectivities that sometimes prevent us from approaching the production of the participating artists, simply because "the beautiful" does not fit in an androgynous body. The subjugation of stereotypes are pressed with determination to find the beauty of diversity in other palpable facets of reality.

Throughout these three years Inéditad has stimulated the vindictive projection towards bad practices, has questioned estates around the LGTBIQ+ body and the most admirable thing, is that these capacities have resurfaced around the dialogue and the visual narrative of the stories that are told from the visual: Artworks that are people, art that is, per se, humanity. Overcome impositions and accept what is different in order to continue fighting against homophobia, biphobia, lesbophobia or transphobia and defend the equal rights that all the acronyms of the collective deserve in our community.

That's Pride and Prejudice: One creature, the happiest in the world. And maybe other projects and other people have said it - or felt it - before, but none so fairly.
