The Alicante Fish Market hosts a distinctive photography exhibition that brings together a public selection process and a curated conversation about good and bad imagery. The show runs at the market’s exhibition hall on Avenida del Almirante Julio Guillén Tato s/n, through January 21, 2024. A collaborative project with RGB Magazine, issue #06, the event spotlights a broad spectrum of photographic voices. The call for works brought in a total of 181 submissions, with 106 authors responding and 62 works ultimately chosen for display. The theme invites viewers to reflect on contrasts, to consider how light, composition, and moment can convey both affirmation and tension. The resulting exhibition reveals a lively mosaic of viewpoints that span technical approaches and personal perspectives.
Several photographs by the featured photographer are also included in the display. The issue of RGB Magazine features a curated selection of the series, including a project titled Dalt Viuen, which explores memory and identity. The visitors can expect a guided tour and two talks addressing contemporary photography trends and practices, alongside two workshops that focus on youth education in the visual arts. These activities are designed to engage audiences of all ages and levels of experience, offering deeper insight into the creative process behind the works.
The search for three-dimensionality
The Volta_ venue, located at Avenida Constitución 3 in Alicante, opens its doors with a Friday evening reception at 7:00 PM and extends through March 2024. The space hosts a collaborative exhibition where a variety of approaches to representing three dimensional form and space are explored. Artists participating include Miguel Bañuls, Massimo Pisani, Jesús Zuazo, Hans Some, and Carlos Martinez. The show centers on sculpture as a language and a material practice, presenting a broad array of works that reveal different ways to engage with volume and presence.
From minimalist forms to symbolic expressions, from the tangible to the illusionary, and from sensuous materials to purely conceptual ideas, five artists present their proposals in multiple formats. The exhibition emphasizes how tradition can intersect with contemporary experimentation, inviting viewers to consider how historical techniques and new materials coexist in todays visual culture. The curators highlight a dialogue between heritage and innovation, offering a fresh perspective on space, weight, and perception in contemporary sculpture.
One day exhibition
The open air exhibition space in Altea is hosted at Terraced House, Partida Arcos 63, and features a one day presentation this Saturday from noon to six in the evening. Located within Altea Casa Bancal, the terrace serves as a temporary gallery and social space that brings a new format to the local art scene. The day showcases a selection of works by Alicante artist Paloma Blanco, continuing the artists exploration of material and form across recent projects. Works from a longstanding arc of the artists production blend a sense of domestic quiet with bold acts of color and material presence, inviting viewers to reconsider what luxury can mean within everyday life and art.
The event features a study in pigments and surface textures, with pieces that demonstrate a vivid green tone that captures the vitality of spring. The palette is designed to evoke natural landscapes and the tactile sensation of painted surfaces, offering a sense of renewal and curiosity for visitors exploring the terrace gallery on a single day. The experience is meant to be approachable, with a focus on immediacy and accessible interpretation for audiences of all backgrounds.
