Madrid, March 6, 2025 \u2013 This afternoon, the Pilar Forcada ART Situacions Prize \u2013 ARCOmadrid 2025, valued at \u20ac15,000, was awarded to the Mallorca-born and Barcelona-based artist Lara Flux\u00e0.<\/p>\n

The prize was presented on Thursday, March 6, in the AVWL Room by Maribel L\u00f3pez, Director of ARCOmadrid; Marcel Pascual, Director and Sponsor of ART Situacions; and jury members Lorena M. de Coral and Ferran Barenblit. The winning piece will be added to the ART Situacions collection.<\/p>\n

Established in 2017, the prize was renamed the Pilar Forcada ART Situacions Prize in 2022, in memory of the founder and director of ART Situacions. Her husband, Marcel Pascual, General Director of Honda \u2013 Greens, has taken over to continue this initiative, which his wife led with great passion and success.<\/p>\n

About the Winning Artwork<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The prize was awarded to the piece Flure, by artist Lara Flux\u00e0, presented at ARCO by the Catalan gallery Bombon Projects \u2013 Art Gallery. The artwork is crafted from iron and glass.<\/p>\n

Lara Flux\u00e0 works with fragile materials such as water, air, salt, tar, light, and glass to reflect on the delicate balance of ecosystems. Her work highlights the importance of care in contrast to the omnipresent development of extractive and exploitative activities. It invites us to rethink our relationship with the environment and to build new integrated and collaborative ways of existence. Through her artistic practice, she questions our approach to production and our response to the ecological crisis, placing the viewer in a position where awareness and responsibility become inescapable.<\/p>\n
