ART Situacions closes its exhibition at ARCO Madrid with great success

This patronage project has brought together the work of ten emerging artists, five Spanish and five French, at ARCO.

After the fair, the exhibition will begin its tour in Barcelona, where it can be seen this fall, and at various venues in France.

The artists have been selected by María de Corral, Lorena Martínez de Corral, Chus Martínez, and Vicent Todolí.

Madrid, February 28, 2022.- ART Situations celebrated the third edition of its patronage project during ARCOmadrid with great critical and public success. “I feel fortunate to be here and share with all of you what was the great desire of my wife, Pilar Forcada: that young emerging artists express their art with total freedom. Exhibiting at ARCO is a luxury and the synergies that are created by both parties are undoubtedly very positive,” said Marcel Pascual, CEO of Honda – Greens Power Products and head of ART Situations.

Chus Martínez, member of the selection committee alongside María de Corral, Lorena Martínez de Corral, and Vicent Todolí, thanked the artists who have accepted the challenge of participating in ART Situacions III. “These projects are done so that the public can get to know the artists, so that we can all learn to value what it means to work on artistic production from the beginning, but we also do it so that the artists get to know each other,” Martínez pointed out. “I invite everyone to review their proposals, which are collected in this fantastic exhibition in an interesting dialogue between all of them,” he concluded.

ART Situacions is a patronage project that has been promoting the dissemination of the youngest sector of contemporary art for more than a decade. After this exhibition, ART Situacions III can be seen in Barcelona this fall. The exhibition brings together the work of five Spanish and five French artists. The emerging creators participating in this edition are the Spanish Elena Aitzkoa, Nora Aurrekoetxea, Lucía Bayón, Aleix Plademunt, and Pablo Capitán del Río, and the French Salomé Chatriot, Marie-Luce Nadal, Benoît Piéron, Elsa Brès, and Yoan Sorin. These artists have been selected by a committee made up of María de Corral, Lorena Martínez de Corral, Chus Martínez, and Vicent Todolí.

The ART Situacions project has supported each of them for the production of a total of 10 new works created for the occasion, which will be shown alongside a selection of representative pieces by the artists. On the occasion of the exhibition, ART Situacions has had the support of the Turner publishing house for the edition of a book whose thread is a text by Chus Martínez. “The reviewed artists form an eclectic group, both in form and material, that seeks to address the need for tenderness and care, as well as a new love for life,” Martínez said.
