ARTESANTANDER 2022 will continue with the format established for more than a decade: «Solo Projects», in addition to being the hallmark of the call, has meant its consolidation as a fair with a differentiating profile with which it is intended, on the one hand, to strengthen what it has as a cultural event, focused on visualizing the artistic proposals selected and channeled through the galleries that represent the artists. As a fair structured from the galleries, the focus is on the artist, in addition to taking advantage of the inertia that will generate again the course organized by the Association of Collectors 9915, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, included in the 2022 program of the Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP). In its ninth edition it is presented with the attractive title «COLLECTING AND ART CENTERS. Initiatives for the promotion of Contemporary Art.» that will take place at the Magdalena Palace, headquarters of the UIMP coinciding with the fair.
On those dates, in Santander, you can visit the first exhibition in Spain by Ellen Gallagher and Edgar Cleijne «A law… a blueprint… a scale», curated by Bárbara Rodríguez Muñoz, director of exhibitions and collection at the Botín Center, and Benjamin Weil, director of the modern art center Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian. Also Look at me! Portraits in the «La Caixa» Collection of Contemporary Art, curated by Nimfa Bisbe, head of the art collections of «La Caixa», illustrates the transversal method of the «la Caixa» Collection, which began in the eighties and reaches the young creators of today.
