In Models of Seeing, the collective Estampa interrogates the tools of computer vision and their way of looking at the world. What do they see and how do they speak? Which are their limits? How can they be used against the wind? Three pieces exploring the still image, a video-essay and a publication construct a […]

The exhibition Instruction Manual for Nothing pools together two artistic processes that share the same open and experimental methodology. Xavi Rodríguez Martín reflects on abstract comics and the Expanded Books Project, shifting away from traditional narratives to go in search of a narrative non-structure that evokes the endless knot. Blanca Viñas uses the limitations of analogue photography to […]
Within the context of the exhibition Instruction Manual for Nothing, we will carry out a drawing workshop that proposes to use the chalcographic technique as a means to explore and expand the graphic possibilities.

In this exhibition, Julia Aurora Guzmán (Santo Domingo, 1993) explores the idea of origin, thresholds and the silence that accompanies the transitory moments between cycles. Using local materials such as coconut mesh and the adenanthera pavonina seed (coralito), and combining them with her own craft techniques that she has developed over a period of nine […]
On the occasion of the closing of the exhibition Onda Farpa Curva, Xana Sousa extends an invitation to engage in dialogue, listening, and collective creation. Through the gesture of folding the pages of a shared book, we weave narratives, explore memories, and leave traces on an ever-evolving object. The Portuguese artist leads this gathering where […]
Postcards have been, since their origin, a visual and ideological construction. Through the manipulation of images, these small windows on the world have contributed to shaping the perception of tourist destinations, transforming reality into an idealised scenario. Cielito lindo is an exhibition that presents part of Cristina Arribas's enormous collection of postcards, where the sky […]
A conversation between Cristina Arribas, Juan José Lahuerta and Pedro G. Romero about the Cielito Lindo project and the postcard collection on display. A dialogue that explores the touristic image and the visual construction of the landscape.
