The event will bring the people behind these spaces together and offer an opportunity to learn more about their different approaches to artistic creation and exhibition. Espacio Cruce, run by Ignacio, Pablo and Jacobo, will take part alongside the other three projects. "We really hope to meet other spaces, see what is being done in the city and how they work, while also making our own space known," explained Ignacio, one of the project's representatives.
ESPACIO CRUCE
The meeting comes as Espacio Cruce has just completed five months of activity and continues to host its latest printmaking exhibition, "Estampa y matriz," by artist Carmen Aznar. "We are very happy with what we are finishing and doing, because young artists can exhibit their work in our space," Ignacio said. The venue is already preparing its fifth show, featuring artist Jesús Pardo, whose opening is scheduled for October 22.
The initiative was created precisely to offer an alternative to creators seeking spaces in which to display their work. According to one of its representatives, they identified a shortage of venues in Zaragoza for artists who are just beginning to create. "We are trying to provide the visibility that emerging artists cannot achieve in the city," said the Zaragoza native.
The project aims to make the venue more than just a place to hang artworks. Its founders also want to turn it into a meeting point for artists and the public, where conversations and new connections can emerge. The exhibitions, Ignacio noted, have received a notable response from the public: "Nearly 100 people come to each opening. The truth is that, for such a small space, a lot of people come."
This Saturday, the project will present its philosophy as part of the Asalto Festival and provide an opportunity to share the experiences of different independent spaces working in the city.
