Jacobo Castellano, (Jaén, 1976), is one of the most complex and solid contemporary Spanish artists. He uses engraving to create a body of work based on the emotions and sensations that are hidden in his personal memory. In his work he uses elements such as curtains, wire, small piggy banks, coffins or those rhombuses that were placed on the top of the TV screen. These elements are superimposed creating structures that seem to be on the verge of collapse and that seem to want to hide something or point to a place to hide and protect themselves from imminent collapse. The work of Jacobo Castellano follows a defined line in which the recovery of remembrances stored in his memory leads to a deep reflection on essential issues such as identity, or life and death. Numerous collections of contemporary art have their production, like ARTIUM. Basque Center-Museum of Contemporary Art; CAAC. Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art; CGAC. Galician Center of Contemporary Art; Montenmedio Contemporary Art Foundation; or the Rafael Botí Provincial Plastic Arts Foundation, among others. Contents: Rincones polvorientos de la vida / Life's Dusty Corners, by Javier Hontoria El juego sin fin (notas de un coleccionista / The Endless Game (Notes of a Collector) by Luis Caballero Martínez Conversation with João Mourão and Luís Silva Text in English and Spanish.

Marcos Martín Blanco and Elena Rueda began to acquire artworks in 1979. Over the years, the MER Foundation has gathered more than 800 works and includes important pieces from the best contemporary artists. The collection specialises in European and American figuration since 1980. This attention to figuration as distinct from painting and photography, has led Marcos and Elena to seek the masterpieces of artists such as Eric Fischl, Francesco Clemente, David Salle, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Ruff, Marlen Dumas, Lisa Yuscavage, Merilyn Minter, Luis Gordillo and Cecily Brown. The collection includes more than 180 artists: Miquel Barceló, José María Sicilia, Antoni Tàpies, Mompó, Palazuelo, Gordillo, Zóbel or Soledad Sevilla, among the Spanish artists, and Warhol, LeWitt, Oelen, Basquiat, David Sala or Julian Schnabel, among the international ones. In 2004 it was awarded the Collecting Prize by the ARCO art fair. This catalogue includes two introductory texts by Patricio Pron and Dan Cameron, one a more literary and personal appraisal of the founder and the collection, and the other one a technical and critical view.

Iván de la Nuez describes Luis Cruz Azaceta's work as "an aesthetics of constant escapes." His imaginative creations, ranging from figuration to abstraction, narrate anguish, pain, shipwrecks, violence... And yet they are simultaneously an escape from them: a means of coming to terms with and challenging a dark past. His paintings reflect his unique perspective as an exile in the United States. This book captures the mood of these impressive artworks, displaying them in an accessible format. Text in English and Spanish.

2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the construction of the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The work carried out in these hundred years has contributed to the construction and consolidation of the image of Spain as a cultural power in the international arena, projecting, in one of the best world artistic showcases, the excellence of Spanish contemporary art. In this first century of history, the Spanish Pavilion has seen different styles, evolutions and artistic changes pass through its walls, whose dynamics have been possible thanks to the work of the curators who promoted and continue to promote a “pluralism of voices” that characterises the essence of the Biennale. This book includes extensive graphic documentation that is the result of exhaustive research work. Never before has so much documentation of interest on the history of the building and the exhibitions that took place within its walls over these years been jointly published. Text in English and Spanish.

Where Art Lives in Latin America has as its starting point the countless ways of exposing and showing contemporary art today. In addition to the traditional museum concept, with its program of temporary exhibitions and permanent collection, in recent decades other formats have emerged that conduct contemporary art thinking and doing, including foundations, artistic residencies, independent art spaces, sculpture parks, among others. The book brings the reader a selection of 35 spaces for creation and exhibition in Latin America that are a reference for the development of the state of the art not only in the region but worldwide, each in its own way. Composed of images from each space and exclusive interviews with their respective directors and curators, the publication brings together unavoidable and original places that today represent the greatest poles of thought and avant-garde in contemporary Latin American art. Text in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Chacón's work can be read as a pictorially narrated story of the problems of modern and contemporary painting. Throughout his career, genres and aesthetics are transgressed in his artistic production, "pure" painting is invaded by conceptual art or becomes an installation, and the most radical geometry shares the stage with abstract expressionism. This book is the most complete editorial work dedicated to the artist, one of the main protagonists of contemporary Venezuelan and Latin American art. It contains critical texts by authors of international and national prestige, such as Jesús Fuenmayor, Dan Cameron, Nadja Rottner and Félix Suazo; it also includes a complete interview with the artist by graphic designer and curator Álvaro Sotillo and a detailed chronology by Israel Ortega and Leonor Solá. Illustrated with numerous reproductions of his works and a selection of previously unpublished historical photographs, it is destined to become an essential bibliographical reference.

Emerging, for the most part, from shows organised at the National Museum of Fine Arts (Havana), these texts examine the personal poetics of the authors, while revealing the intense consonance that has existed between their brilliant artistic productions and the sustained and faithful welcome they have received in the collections of the National Museum, to which the author has dedicated her professional life.

Iconocracia uses photography to bring together approximately thirty creators of Cuban art from several generations who, despite their wide-ranging differences in biography, aesthetics and even politics, coincide in challenging what has been assimilated as Cuban photography and disseminated as such. The book is a collection of work by a series of artists who have managed to take in and process iconography with the steadfast goal of building, more than just an image, but a different imagery altogether from their individual positions and particular viewpoints. However, it also explores the very limits of photography as an act: the text by Ivan de la Nuez seeks to find a location other than the photographer's stance, radically stirring up what is usually considered to be a photographic object.

Lucien Hervé (1910-2007) was one of the great architectural photographers of the 20th century. His methodological and conceptual patterns were reflected in his work, which includes a long collaboration with Le Corbusier. In 1958 he launched the project for a photobook on the monastery of El Escorial commissioned by the RM publishing house in Barcelona, and a year later, during a trip around Spain, a second commission on popular Mediterranean architecture arose. Although they remained unpublished, both works were the object of constant revision by the photographer throughout his life. Sixty years later, both photobooks are published, preceded by specialised texts by architects Javier Mosteiro and Marco Iuliano. The publication is completed by a volume in which Iñaki Bergera and art historian Horacio Fernández offer us an overview of the artist's life and investigate the relationship between these two projects. Text in English and Spanish. Contents: Volume 1: Prefacio / Preface - Judith Hervé; Hervé en España. Blancos y negros, luces y sombras / Hervé in Spain. Whites and Blacks, Lights and Shadows; - Iñaki Bergera; Rigor y tijeras / Rigueur and Scissors - Horacio Fernández. Volume 2: Mediterránea / Mediterranean - Marco Iuliano; Arquitectura popular española / Spanish Popular Architecture - Lucien Hervé. Volume 3: El Escorial, a la luz -y contraluz- de Lucien Hervé: imágenes y reflexiones / El Escorial in the Light - and the Backlight - of Lucien Hervé: Images and Reflections - Javier Mosteiro; El Escorial - Lucien Hervé. Published to accompany an exhibitions at PhotoEspaña, Galería José de la Mano, Madrid, from 5 June to 31 July 2019.

George Floyd's death at the hands of a police officer on 25 May 2020 marked a turning point in the Black Lives Matter movement. Emerging in 2013, this black community rights movement gained national and international recognition and support to the point of leading demonstrations at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During those weeks, the visual artist and social activist Jonathan Moller walked the streets of Denver, Boston, Washington and New York following the trail of protests and took hundreds of photographs of the posters, graffiti, banners and murals left behind. The selected photographs and accompanying texts attest to their depth, ensure the permanence of their messages and invite the reader to reflect on their personal contribution to systemic racism that has existed for centuries around the world.

This book was produced on the occasion of the first solo exhibition of Obregón's work in a North American public institution and includes essays by the curators Jesús Fuenmayor and Kaira M. Cabañas, in which the work is approached from the artist's own methodology and from its relevance in the current cultural context.
