Alcuadrado is a space for contemporary art and a platform for it's artists to show their work abroad. The term “space” is understood here in the broadest meaning of the word: physical space, mental space, space of creation, space of discussion, editorial space and urban space.
Alcuadrado as a gallery is a physical space in constant flux and mutation, deterritorialized through its very vocation—it constitutes an attempt to both temporalize and spatialize the city, encouraging its visitors to constantly move about the city and to experience it as a gallery. At the same time the gallery functions as an entry and exit into and out of the city. Here the city is imagined to be a giant exhibition room. Is not the city, in and of itself, an enormous, endless gallery?
Each exhibition allows artists spatial as well as conceptual experimentation, giving the public the possibility of encountering different contexts for art while, at the same time, the gallery is driven to develop new forms of producing and working with contemporary art.
