High Rise

 

 

High Rise is a plastic response to the new museum idea. This sample, as the materials used to carry out the sculpture are ductile and light. The location is located in the entrance hall and the new exhibition space of three floors of open height in the heart of the Center. The composition of the sculpture has been reduced to the use of basic geometric bodies. The form only exists in a particular state or thanks to the action performed with the materials of the same.

Inspired by membrane architecture, a technique from the late 1960s, is a synonym for variable autonomy, isolation and the need for integration converge at the same point. The Prego piece, made up of different pieces, forms a set of accumulation. Tetrahedrons, made of rigid cardboard, investigate the articulation of the volumes, thus applying a series of joint possibilities that give the piece a certain changing air.

The curious thing about this staging is that it allows the viewer to enter the piece and interact with it, creating an affective bond. The sum of inflatable elements, in different plants emphasizes the modular character of this one and it gets that air crosses the interior. You can enjoy this exhibition in the Ca2M (Móstoles) until February 26.

 

 

 


ART MADRID’ 26: 21 YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY ART


Discover all the information about the artists and galleries participating in the 21st edition of Art Madrid. The catalog features a curated selection of the works presented in this edition, along with the most relevant details of the event, making it an essential tool for engaging with the fair’s key figures and exploring the defining elements of today’s art scene.


In 2026, Art Madrid celebrates its 21st edition, further establishing itself as a leading event within Spain’s cultural sector. From March 4 to 8, the Galería de Cristal of the Palacio de Cibeles will once again become a meeting point for galleries, collectors, artists, and contemporary art enthusiasts.


Over the past twenty-one years, the fair has evolved into a dynamic and ever-expanding platform, fostering diversity in artistic languages, techniques, and discourses. In this edition, the Galleries Program brings together around 35 exhibitors from more than seven countries, offering a representative overview of the most recent developments in contemporary creation.


The Art Madrid ’26 catalog serves as a key publication for discovering the work of this edition’s galleries and artists —marked by experimentation and a plurality of perspectives— while also documenting the conceptual axes that shape the fair. As part of the Parallel Program, INHABITING THE EPHEMERAL: A Reflection on the “Species” of Spaces proposes a reflection on space, relationships, and shared experience, expanding the understanding of the fair beyond its commercial dimension and highlighting its cultural and experiential significance.


In addition, the catalog presents the initiatives that complete the program, such as the Open Booth dedicated to emerging creation, the Nebrija Space in collaboration with Nebrija University, the Performance Series “Open Infinite. What the Body Remembers,” the One Shot Collectors Program, and the Patronage Program, reaffirming the fair’s commitment to supporting, mediating, and accompanying contemporary art at every stage.

We invite you to discover more about Art Madrid ’26 through the catalog of its 21st edition — a publication that, beyond serving as documentary memory, becomes a cartography of the present artistic moment and an open door to new ways of inhabiting contemporary art.
