An alternative to ARCO

Silken Puerta de America Hotel is to host the new edition of JUSTMAD, which this time has summoned over 50 exhibition spaces, most of them from Spain.

Madrid is the best-represented city with My Name's Lolita Art, ARANAPOVEDA andBlanca Berlin, attending as they did during the previous edition; and newcomers Gao Magee Gallery and Sabrina Amrani Art Gallery, among others. On the other, the number of foreign galleries went down to 13, including four Portuguese galleries (3+1 Arte contemporaneo, Arthobler, Trema - Arte contemporaneo and Nuno Sacramento Arte Contemporaneo), three Latin American (El Museo y Casa Cuadrada, from Colombia and Ecuadorian NoMíNIMO Cultural Space from Guayaquil), as well as Italian Casa Falconeri de Cagliari, Muscovite Artcurator.ru, Berliner Invaliden 1, Korean Bom Gallery, Polish Biaty Kamien Contemporary and Italian BTF.

JUSTMAD was thought to be a space for emerging art, open-minded collecting and dynamic exchange among specialists, creators and buyers. This time, the exhibition is going to be open to the public on February 16 – 19, 2012, strengthening its position as a solid international bet on the most innovating contemporary art.

The selection was carried out by commissioners Javier Duero, Marti Manen and Luiza Teixeira de Freitas, as well as Giulietta Speranza, art director of Art Fairs. Along with the location, the brand-new elements are sections FOREVER TONIGHT (in which video arte and sonorous art will be occupying the hotel’s rooms) and PUBLISHERS’ CORNER (a selection of the finest editorials on independent art all over the world). This is going to be the second time that JUSTMAD DESIGN is held along with the central display, including over a dozen international galleries to be showcasing artworks created by different design artists.
