Madrid / Area

Going out in Chueca, the gay neighborhood of Madrid and grab a beer in the bars around is fun. One of my favorite programs is going to tranvestite´s concerts there.

Madrid / Art Centre

Matadero is a contemporary creation center, a charming place to go at night to see the concerts and architectural lights. It always has an interesting program going on.

Madrid / Airport

Barajas Airport is so inspiring, a vibrating place to come and go. Love to walk in its roller stairs and watch the organic columns and the wavy ceilings changing colors from blue to yellow designed by the architects Richard Rogers and Estudio Lamela.

Madrid / Hotel

This is a fabulous Hotel called Silken Puerta América, where each floor is designed by a different architect. It is open for public visiting. This year the Hotel was hosting the art fair Just Madrid and I was totally amazed by the first floor design of my favorite architect Zaha Hadid.

Madrid / Art Centre

Medialab Prado is the coolest place to work, to collaborate, to do workshops, to participate in events and conferences. They are the nicest people in the planet doing such interesting programs. My favorite is Interactivos. It is also a good place to meet new friends and go afterwards for beers in the bars around Lavapies, a district full of art galleries and Museums.

Madrid / Creative Director

I did Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths College in London, and History and Aesthetics of Contemporary Art in Madrid and Barcelona. I’ve worked in a magazine, an art gallery, an international art biennial, a museum, a news agency and a university. At some point in my life I realized that my dream job didn’t exist so I decided to invent it. I work as Content Director in visualMAG, an online cultural magazine that emerges from the fascinating encounter of the Internet and the creative industries. But that is only the beginning. The second part of the project, visualMANIAC, will magically appear in a few months. You're gonna love it.

Madrid / Film Director

I am a filmmaker living in Madrid. I am part of DVEIN, a two-headed director: the other one is called Teo. We do commercials, music videos and film, and we love to experiment. That is why our work is characterized by the hybridization of ideas and techniques with which we merge real and digital in mix-media approached projects. We attempt to explore the limits of live action, animation or CGI on them, and to create our own visual and aesthetic language.
