CIBRIÁN aims to generate a constant dialogue between new discourses generated internationally and those that reflect a strong local identity. With a cast of young and mid-career artists, and systematic collaborations with curators, critics and renowned people in the art world, CIBRIÁN develops a solid, and not predictable, exhibition programme, which aims to promote its artists in the contemporary international art scene and to introduce local/national audiences to international artists.
Moret Art Gallery
Exhibition | August by María Treviño
Moret Art was founded in 2008 with the clear objective of promoting and disseminating contemporary art, both nationally and internationally, with a special focus on Galician creators. To this end, over the years, it has continuously programmed solo and group exhibitions, which have been complemented on numerous occasions with educational activities or artistic meetings.
5. Llamazares Gallery
Exhibition : The skin of mirrors by Guillermo Simón
Since 2005, Galería Llamazares has been working to disseminate and promote contemporary and emerging art. Located in Gijón, its exhibition programme includes the work of mid-career artists alongside that of young creators, to whom the gallery offers a platform for the visibility of their projects and a commitment to the pursuit of their artistic careers.
Directed by two women, Gema and Diana Llamazares, it stands out for its markedly feminine identity, prioritising work and collaborations with women artists and curators.
6. Madragoa Gallery
Exhibition: Are the works of art contemporary? by various artists
View gallery
The gallery is based in the historic neighbourhood of Madragoa, which gives its name to the space itself and acts as a statement: the gallery's project seeks to establish a deep conversation with the city and its extraordinary potential, not only representing Portuguese artists, but also allowing the local production of each show, also of artists from abroad, establishing a dialogue between global artistic practices and local craftsmanship and ideas.
7. 1 Mira Madrid
Exhibition | The coexistence of Nil Yalter
View gallery
After closing his espaivisor gallery in Valencia, artist and gallery owner Mira Bernabeu opened his new space in Madrid. Located at 16 Argumosa Street, the project joins a group of fellow galleries that aim to offer visitors and citizens of Madrid an international artistic program. 1 Mira Madrid is committed to national and international art from radical and compromising positions, consolidating itself as a project different from everything that currently exists in the city. 1 Mira Madrid focuses on current artistic practices in Eastern Europe and Latin America, without ever forgetting the national scene. For this new project, the commitment to socio-political and feminist art was reinforced, with the double objective of questioning and initiating a debate on the context in which we currently live.
8. RocioSantacruz Gallery
Exhibition : Flowers for Franco : Ornament by Toni Amengual
View gallery
The RocioSantaCruz Gallery is a dynamic space for creation and contemporary thought in all its manifestations. Located in the nerve centre of Barcelona with more than 300m2, the space hosts projects by both established artists and emerging talents. Faithful to its trajectory since 1994 in Paris, as a publisher of artists' books, RocioSantaCruz's approach is to focus on unpublished archives with the aim of generating a dialogue between the avant-garde of the second half of the 20th century and new contemporary practices.
La Cometa Gallery
Galería La Cometa was established 36 years ago with the aim of contributing to the development of the local art scene, as a platform focused on the representation, exhibition and commercialisation of Colombian and Latin American art.
It is a space designed to facilitate dialogues between the spectator, the work of art and the artists from the different aspects of contemporaneity, without neglecting the permanent inclusion of Latin American references of modern art, which provide a fundamental context for contemporary artistic production.
10. Aurora Vigil-Escalera
Exhibition : Great Masters of various artists
View gallery
Aurora Vigil-Escalera Galería de Arte combines two key elements: experience and quality. After 30 years working in the family gallery Sala Van Dyck, she took the leap to her own space in 2015, which has become, by desire and tenacity of its director, a benchmark of innovation and research in constant modernization to adapt to the personal concerns of its director and the continuous changes in the sector and to promote collecting as a catalyst for Contemporary Art.
The gallery maintains the cult of its predecessor to the great avant-garde artists, representing established masters such as Luis Gordillo, Juan Genovés, Luis Feito, Francisco Farreras and Chema Madoz.
11. Fernando Pradilla Gallery
Exhibition: Diaphragm The Hague by Cruz Novillo
Inaugurated at the end of 2001, the Galería Fernando Pradilla aims to promote and disseminate contemporary art developed in Latin America and Spain, acting as a bridge of knowledge of the artistic expressions of both continents.
Since its beginnings, the strategy has been based on the identification of emerging, mid-career and historical artists, and on the programming of solo and group exhibitions in Madrid and other Latin American cities. The gallery participates in international art fairs in Latin America, Asia and Europe, and promotes the representation of its artists in biennials, awards, competitions and exhibitions in national and international art centres.
12. Unpublished Gallery
A young, transgressive and atypical art gallery. With this declaration of intent and on the verge of an unprecedented pandemic, Inéditad Galería was launched at the end of January 2020 with the aim of making its way in an uncertain, but always throbbing art market.
His proposal is based on the concept of art as an agent of change. A type of art that serves as an instrument for us to better understand and comprehend the world around us. For this reason, he is committed to artists whose work is capable of generating questions, of increasing our critical thinking, of broadening our horizons and of establishing an emotional link with which, in a certain way, we can identify.
13. Rodrigo Juarranz Gallery
Galería Rodrigo Juarranz opened its doors in 2006. Preserving the romanticism of the almost clandestine rooms, in a basement, but in the nerve centre of the town, it was born with an innovative and groundbreaking idea. The main objective is to bring Art to a relatively small town, which is not a provincial capital, to turn it into a point of reference in Contemporary Art, involving all its inhabitants. This is the origin of its motto: Art within everyone's reach. Because Art should not be the preserve of great fortunes or big cities.
14. Trinta Gallery
Rúa da Virxe da Cerca, 24, 15703 Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña
Exhibition: The new of Emilio González Sainz
Trinta Arte Contemporánea has been in existence since 1985.
In its 35 years of uninterrupted activity, it has stood out for its unwavering commitment to plastic modernity. As an exhibition and sales space it has held, in all this time, close to 400 exhibitions of contemporary artists, both national and foreign. Since its beginnings, it has collaborated with different generations of creators, with photography and Spanish conceptual art being the two lines of work that define its trajectory and set the guidelines for the gallery project.
15. 3+1 Arte Contemporânea
Exhibition : Na roda by Gabriela Machado
3 +1 Arte Contemporânea was inaugurated in February 2007 with the aim of promoting the work of emerging and established Portuguese and international artists, whose works illustrate the diversity of contemporary artistic practice. The presentation of international contemporary artists less known to the Portuguese public, as well as that of emerging national talent, has been a formula that the gallery has nurtured over the years. 3 +1 is committed to its evolution and development as a gallery, promoting and supporting the projects of its artists both inside and outside Portugal and betting on internationalization in our programming and participating in art fairs.
