ARTESANTANDER 2025 expands its program with in-house projects under the WAYS TO COLLECT initiative

ARTESANTANDER 2025 strengthens its offering with the inclusion of exhibitions and activities produced internally, grouped under the WAYS TO COLLECT program. This initiative integrates all stages from artistic production to commercialization, providing comprehensive support to artists throughout the entire process. Two of the main initiatives are the Print Subscribers Club, by Benveniste Contemporary, and 6-Forest Studio, from the Solo Collection.

The Print Subscribers Club, a project by Benveniste Contemporary based in Madrid, celebrates its 25th anniversary by presenting its latest Books for Subscribers at Artesantander. The program features works by internationally renowned contemporary artists such as Doris Salcedo (Colombia, 1958), represented through three of her most emblematic projects: Palimpsesto, Disremembered, and Atrabiliarios. These printed works reflect Salcedo’s commitment to victims of violence and propose a visual and conceptual dialogue with various forms of systemic violence, emphasizing the importance of recognition and memory.

Also featured is Seeing Through by Varda Caivano (Argentina, 1971), one of today’s leading conceptual painters, whose work has been exhibited internationally. On this occasion, Caivano explores etching in a sketch-free, unconventional way. The resulting trilogy of prints forms a narrative that becomes an experience: a journey through the history of the line.

6-Forest Studio, the creative structure of the Solo Collection, based in Madrid and Cantabria, produces, supports, and shares contemporary art while promoting experimentation and artistic creation. The studio provides artists with a multidisciplinary team for projects related to art, animation, illustration, and character design, particularly in the development and production of sculptures and art toys. Offering services as a specialized consultancy, 6-Forest Studio collaborates with internationally recognized artists at all stages of the creative process, working with a wide range of materials in a bold combination of art, craftsmanship, and technical innovation.

Among the studio's most recent sculptural productions presented at ARTESANTANDER are the Laminati series of angels and devils by Ana Barriga (Spain, 1986), the sought-after Bubble Boy of the Infinite by Ryan Heshka (Canada, 1970), the Green Botijoman by Sergio Mora (Spain, 1975), and the Jet Thunder “Laminate” by Motohiro Hayakawa (Japan, 1974).
