UNICEF España is participating for the first time in the International Contemporary Art Fair —ARCOmadrid— with Hoy es mañana [Today Is Tomorrow], a work by contemporary artist Guillermo Mora that incorporates the experiences and perspectives of children and adolescents into the creative process. Conceived through encounter and dialogue, the piece places childhood at the center of the artistic discourse and presents contemporary art as a space for listening and reflection on the challenges of growing up today.

With this first participation in the art fair, the organization takes a step toward consolidating its presence in the Spanish contemporary art scene, opening up new ways of collaboration between artistic creation and children’s rights. The funds raised from its sale will be allocated in full to UNICEF’s programs.

The exhibition, curated by Jorge de la Cruz, brings together 169 works related to the concept of eternal time—a nod to the human and emotional dimension that permeates the collection and seems to transform each artwork into a timeless capsule of memories and shared experiences between the artists and the founder of the Studiolo collection, Candela Álvarez Soldevilla.

Through six distinct sections organized around themes of suspended time, Jorge de la Cruz transports us to a temple devoted to the god Aion, guardian of time that does not pass—unlimited and cyclical.

Guillermo Mora has been awarded the First Prize in the “11th Research in Painting Award” held in Salou, Catalonia.

The jury was composed of Nimfa Bisbe, Head of the Art Collection Fundació “La Caixa”; Albert Mercadé, President of the Associació Catalana de la Crítica d’Art (ACCA); Alex Mitrani, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC); and Roser Oduber, Director of the Centre d’Art Contemporani i Sostenibilitat (CACIS), founder and vice president of Xarxaprod.

The awarded artwork, titled SÍ PERO NO, along with the selected pieces, will be on view from November 8 at the Torre Vella (Salou).

It Must Be Seen. The Autonomy of Colour in Abstract Art will present the work of a large number of 20th and 21st century artists for whom color was an essential and structuring principle. With nearly one hundred pieces from all five continents, the exhibition will focus on early abstraction experiments and the use of flat color areas, which are not modulated by gesture. In addition to painting, sculpture and works on paper, it will include film and video, installations and interventions, textiles, ceramics, photographs, books and documents.

The exhibition will also have a space dedicated to the precursors of color autonomy, with publications by theorists of the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as major pieces that demonstrate the sources of color in different civilizations, its relationship with optics and the physics of light, natural and synthetic pigments and dyes, and their use throughout the history of art.

The workshop Color: From Sight to Touch, led by artist Guillermo Mora, will explore ways of incorporating color into contemporary creation. Through a hands-on approach, Mora will bring color into a material realm by developing color charts as creative tools.

During the International Patronage Awards, The Luck of Giving aims to serve as a meeting point and a platform of inspiration for society, business, and institutions, fostering a transformation of the human spirit that is as essential as it is inevitable. This transformation finds its most meaningful expression through a deep commitment to art and its inclusive dissemination.

Patrons, artists, collectors, curators, and museum directors gather at this event to share their personal experiences in the realm of patronage, recognizing it as a powerful means of connection, learning, and collective growth.

Las Cicadas brings together artists of diverse backgrounds and disciplines to interact with the natural environment, local communities, and the island’s history.

The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation is located eighty miles northeast of New York City on seventy acres of wooded property in Bethany, Connecticut.

The residency program commenced in 1999 and has to date hosted over 200 artists. It maintains two residential studios for visiting artists and is designed to provide time, space, and solitude, with the benefit of access to the Foundation’s archives and library.

The title of this exhibition not only takes advantage of the architecture of the gallery’s annex —a more secluded, intimate place that could be compared to a waiting room, where we coexist with people we do not know but with whom we share a motivation— but also alludes to the fact that Ángela de la Cruz (A Coruña, Spain, 1965) and Guillermo Mora (Alcalá de Henares, Spain, 1980) do not know each other, but in this space they coincide in formal, chromatic and conceptual aspects about the boundaries between painting and sculpture.

In the practice of Guillermo Mora and Adelheid De Witte, painting oscillates between various states of being and materializes in diverse ways. Their works exist in a precarious equilibrium, traversed by contrary forces. They add, conceal, tear away, erase before adding again, in a constant tension between what is thought of and what is not, between the slow construction of a composition and the impulse of a gesture.

Places and Events brings together a diverse array of new perspectives in the field of abstract art. The exhibition arrives at a timely moment following a renewed interest and energy around abstraction more generally. Like painting, conceptualism, installation, and numerous other genres of artistic practice, abstraction has had its fair share of endings and declines, only to re-emerge again and again.

Catalog of the exhibition A Bridge To Stay On at Sala Alcalá 31 where the artist Guillermo Mora dialogues with the architecture of the space and influences how this space is perceived and transited. A questioning of hierarchies and pre-established orders leads to new ways of traveling, looking at, and experiencing space and painting. With photographs by Luis Asín and a text by Pia Ogea, curator of the exhibition, as well as a conversation between Carlos Fernández-Pello and Guillermo Mora.

Pas une Orange presents Vis a siV, a group show featuring works by Madrid-based artists Elena Alonso, Inma Herrera, Christian Lagata, Almudena Lobera, Guillermo Mora, Álvaro Negro, and An Wei. This exhibition reflects on themes of image, contact, and space during a time characterized by distancing, confinement, and screens.
