Galería Lucía Mendoza
Off

We are an art gallery, a platform for reflection, and an open space founded in 2014.

We seek a broad expression of artistic creation in a space that is expanded, flexible, free, reflective, proactive, and stimulating.

We champion the role of contemporary art as a pillar and driving force of a shared movement toward sustainability. Working from hybrid practices and aesthetics, and with a holistic vision, our aim is to develop discursive projects with the active involvement of individuals, private companies, and public administrations.

Our roadmap will be the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, understanding its goals and targets as a global path toward building a more habitable, just, and inclusive planet.

Producir mundo entre redes y marañas

The work focuses on the paradigmatic natural-industrial-urban-cultural landscape of the Mediterranean salt flats where salt is extracted from the exploitation of seawater. The project focuses on how, thanks to the extractive mining activity of the salt industries, this territory became a protected landscape for its great richness and biological diversity, classified today as a Natural Park by the various Spanish and European environmental protection administrations. This projection shows us the landscape through its halophilic life, textures and materials in a journey through different scales from the microscopic to the aerial flight with a Drone.

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.
