el Chico
Off
El Chico is an art gallery that explores alternative pathways, bringing together both local and international perspectives. Moving away from traditional gallery norms, we focus on the connections between artists and their environment, serving as a platform for projects in which different disciplines interact. Born out of various experiences in the cultural industry, our project aims to challenge existing models through exhibitions and activities that highlight the need for local unity.
Our mission is to represent and collaborate with emerging and mid-career artists, advancing their practices through exhibitions, discussions, podcasts and performances, creating a dynamic space for dialogue, transformation and the unexplored. We do what we haven't done before, and the future will reveal the rest.
PROYECTOR 2023
A new edition of PROYECTOR is back with more news than ever!
The PROYECTOR Platform intended for Images of Movement gives voice to non-cinematic normative proposals; pieces that seek the relationship with the body, the scale and the space that houses them; pieces that need a viewer to get involved, to be present around the piece to be able to understand them in their entirety.
From September 6th to 17th, 2023, more than twenty spaces in the city of Madrid intersected, showing new languages and formats through some 100 pieces of expanded cinema, performance, video art, site-specific pieces, interactive pieces and unique works.
The collaborating venues are creating a cultural route giving visibility to both the most independent and the most consolidated spaces, going from the central areas to the outskirts neighborhoods of the capital.
We find proposals both curated by the PROYECTOR platform and by the galleries and museums themselves that are part of the OFF Tour. As always, our selection included works by invited artists and artists selected by an international public call whose jury was Rosell Meseguer, Guillermo G. Peydró and Carlos T. Mori. Likewise, we have collaborations, such as the usual Loops.Expanded, Miden, PLAY and Fonlad. All the pieces on display have been grouped into curatorships differentiated by their current themes. Two of the pieces most valued by the jury will be awarded the Hertzog Da Silva Prize.
