Once Upon A Time In Almería
Exhibitions
|
Exhibition of photographs by Mark Parascandola documenting a forgotten legacy of moviemaking in the desert landscapes of Almería. During the 1960s and 1970s, the region of Almeria, Spain, was host to dozens of filmmakers who constructed elaborate movie sets, invoking locations from the American Southwest to Bedouin Arabia. Four decades later remnants of the old movie sets remain in the desert, providing seemingly tangible evidence of human settlements that never really existed.

The Spanish National Photography Prize: Connections and Confrontations
Exhibitions
|
Presented as part of FotoWeekDC2012, this collective exhibition brings together for the first time artists who were awarded the Spanish National Prize for Photography. The exhibition, organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport of Spain and curated by Artendencias, Carmen de la Guerra and Javier Díez, becomes an anthology of the history of Spanish photography across the last sixty years, visualizing unsuspected links among the works of different artists. When viewing the exhibition as a whole, we can observe how the development of individual artists has been consistent with the transformation of Spanish society from the fifties to the present day.
