Opening of 'Fama everybody' exhibition
Hubertus von Hohenlohe

La Alhóndiga
The work of the inimitable multidisciplinary artist Hubertus von Hohenlohe brings us closer to the pulse of contemporary society with extreme precision. Not only because his usual setting is the bustling city of the 21st century, but because his pieces reveal a complex layering of strata that blend reality and fiction, public space and privacy, vanity and distinction; in any case, it helps us understand the beauty and potential of our surroundings. His recognizable self-portraits in urban settings foreshadow the narcissism that floods social media; he anticipated the rise of the smartphone selfie, a form of photography as an experience of place that has accelerated thanks to ubiquitous immediacy. Always with his camera around his neck, the artist acts as a flâneur who seeks and at the same time finds himself in the reflections of the street.
Von Hohenlohe will open his exhibition, Fama everybody, alongside Sema D'Acosta, the exhibition’s curator and a leading figure in the field of photography in Spain; he has curated some of the most significant photography exhibitions in recent years.
The exhibition will run from 8 to 30 September

Torreón de Lozoya (entrada por la Plaza San Martín)
The Manila Shawl, and the creation of a collective art object or exhibition, can provide an in-depth look at this fashion accessory, a component of regional costumes, and a muse for Hispanic art and craftsmanship. The Manila shawl has an Asian form, Hispanic-American color and exuberance, and a Spanish soul; a transition from one culture to another, until it becomes a collective object of undeniable beauty. The exhibition consists mainly of Verónica Durán Castello’s collection of Manila shawls, who has spent 25 years gathering pieces that are unique in their design, embroidery, and state of preservation. It will also feature shawls belonging to well-known figures (such as Imperio Argentina, Lolita Flores, Olga Ramos, and Infanta Elena de Borbón) as well as objects like the boxes that hold the Manila shawls—exceptional pieces due to their beauty and artistic and symbolic content.
The first shawls arrived starting in 1565, when Miguel López de Legazpi, commanding the Nao San Pedro, discovered the maritime route that crossed the Pacific Ocean from east to west, known as the Manila Galleon Route. It departed from Manila loaded with porcelain, jade, screens, lacquerware, silk, and Manila shawls, and after passing through Mexico, set course for Seville or Cadiz.
The exhibition will be on view from September 8 to 30

Opening of the exhibition by Patricia Azcárate, Alfonso Gargallo and Guillem Salas
Intruder
–
Museo Esteban Vicente - Capilla
The intruder is the migrant whom no one has called, who risks his life in search of a better future, who walks mile after mile for months, sometimes years, to reach a land he believes holds opportunities. Sometimes he crosses the sea in the worst conditions. Sometimes they scale walls that are like fortresses. They overcome all their fears in the hope of finding a future for themselves and for the family they surely left behind.
On this occasion, painting, sculpture, and music come together to make us think about them. They have arrived. Who are they, what do they want from me, what do they bring me, what will they do to me, how will their presence, their culture, their drive affect me?
The relationship between Guillem Salas’s nude sculptures, Patricia Azcárate’s pictorial fields, and Alfonso Gargallo’s musical narrative begins with mistrust: at first, the figures hide, feeling uncomfortable, unsure of where to stand, anxiously searching for a place where they can be understood; they wander back and forth without finding their place; until a dialogue emerges: figures and paintings speak to one another, listen to one another, and transform.
The exhibition will be on view from September 8 to 13
