ARTE OPEN VIEWS. Contemporary Art in Private Spaces

Arte Open Views- Contemporary Art in Private Spaces (arte contemporaneo en espacios privados), is a cultural project that complements those researches aimed at creating new exhibition spaces in order to turn them into new platforms to shed light on the artists, and curators committed to the artistic sphere, by supporting the spreading process of culture and art in the contemporariness.

The exhibition space – which could be a private house, an artist’s workshop or any other public or private space that isn’t regularly used to exhibit art – becomes the new theater, a site specific per excellence where creators develop and express their own language, matter, tensions. Painting, sculpture, photography and performance get interweaved and bring about new perceptions and emotions to be enjoyed by the public.

Arte Open Views- Contemporary Art in Private Spaces is not interested in getting involved with a unique geographic territory or a specific city district, or establishing an association with an exclusive group of artists; because it’s aimed at showing the creative potential of curators and artists.

For its second edition, Arte Open Views has moved to Madrid and displays eight project curated by eleven curators and it gathers thirty-four artists from different disciplines: painting, sculpture, photography, video, performance…
