View gallery
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 people of recognized prestige in the art world, CIBRIÁN develops a solid, and not predictable, exhibition program, which aims to promote its artists in the contemporary international art scene and introduce the local/national audience to international artists.
4. Moret Art Gallery
Exhibition | August by Maria Trevino
Moret Art was founded in 2008 with the clear objective of promoting and disseminating contemporary art, both national and international, with a special focus on Galician creators. To this end, over the years, it has continuously programmed individual and collective exhibitions, which have been complemented on numerous occasions with educational activities or artistic encounters.
5. Llamazares Gallery
Exhibition | The skin of mirrors by Guillermo Simón
Since 2005, the Llamazares Gallery has been working to promote and disseminate 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 career.
Directed by two women, Gema and Diana Llamazares, it stands out for its marked feminine identity, prioritizing work and collaborations with female artists and curators.
6. Madragoa Gallery
Exhibition | Are the works of art contemporary? by various artists
The gallery is based in the historic Madragoa neighbourhood, which gives its name to the space itself and acts as a statement: the gallery project seeks to establish a deep conversation with the city and its extraordinary potential, not only by representing Portuguese artists, but also by allowing local production of each show, also by artists from abroad, establishing a dialogue within global artistic practices and local craftsmanship and ideas.
7. 1 Look at Madrid
Exhibition | The coexistence of Nil Yalter
After closing his espaivisor gallery in Valencia, the artist and gallery owner Mira Bernabeu opened his new space in Madrid. Located on Calle Argumosa, 16, the project joins a group of fellow galleries that aim to offer visitors and citizens of Madrid an international artistic programme. 1 Mira Madrid is committed to national and international art from radical and engaging 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 sociopolitical and feminist art was reinforced, with the dual objective of questioning and initiating a debate on the context in which we currently live.
8. Rocio Santacruz Gallery
Exhibition | Flowers for Franco | Ornament by Toni Amengual
The RocioSantaCruz Gallery is a dynamic space for contemporary creation and thought in all its forms. Located in the nerve centre of Barcelona, with more than 300m2, the space hosts projects by both established artists and emerging talents. Faithful to her career since 1994 in Paris, as an editor of artist books, RocioSantaCruz's approach is to focus on unpublished archives with the aim of generating a dialogue between the avant-garde movements of the second half of the 20th century and new contemporary practices.
9.The Comet 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 marketing of Colombian and Latin American art.
It is a space designed to facilitate dialogue between the viewer, the artwork and the artists from different perspectives 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-Ladder
Exhibition | Great Masters by various artists
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 made the leap to her own space in 2015, which has become, thanks to the desire and tenacity of its director, a benchmark for 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 its predecessor's cult of 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
Opened in late 2001, the Fernando Pradilla Gallery aims to promote and disseminate contemporary art in Latin America and Spain, acting as a bridge to the knowledge of artistic expressions on both continents.
Since its inception, the strategy has been based on the identification of artists, both emerging, mid-career and historical, and on the programming of individual and collective exhibitions in Madrid and other Latin American cities. The gallery participates in international art fairs in Latin America, Asia, and Europe, and encourages the representation of its artists in biennials, awards, competitions and exhibitions in national and international art centers.
12. Unpublished Gallery
A young, transgressive and atypical art gallery. With this declaration of intent and on the eve 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 vibrant art market.
Her proposal is based on the concept of art as an agent of change. A type of art that serves as an instrument to better understand and comprehend the world around us. For this reason, she is committed to artists whose work is capable of generating questions, increasing our critical thinking, broadening our horizons and establishing an emotional bond with which, in a certain way, we feel identified.
13. Rodrigo Juarranz Gallery
In 2006, the Rodrigo Juarranz Gallery opened its doors. Preserving the romanticism of the almost clandestine galleries, 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 that is not a provincial capital, in order to turn it into a point of reference in contemporary art, making all its inhabitants part of it. From here comes its motto: Art within everyone's reach. Because art should not be the exclusive domain of large fortunes or large cities.
14. Trinta Gallery
Rúa da Virxe da Cerca, 24, 15703 Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña
Exhibition | The latest from Emilio González Sainz
Trinta Arte Contemporánea has existed 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, nearly 400 exhibitions of contemporary artists, both national and foreign. It has collaborated from the beginning with different generations of creators, with photography and Spanish conceptual art being the two lines of work that define its career and set the guidelines for the gallery project.
15. 3+1 Contemporary Art
Exhibition | In the wheel of Gabriela Machado
3 +1 Arte Contemporânea was launched 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 contemporary international artists less known to the Portuguese public, as well as emerging national talent, has been a formula that the gallery has been nurturing 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 internationalisation in our programming and participating in art fairs.
