Hung on SUSPENDed1: literally! One of my poems, entitled “Levedad” (lightness), has been selected by Factoría de Arte y Desarrollo to participate in SUSPENDed1, an artistic intervention that has taken place at the Exe Central Hotel 4* in Madrid on 26, 27 and 28 February 2016, as part of various activities organized for the International Emerging Art Fair WE ARE FAIR! I have displayed the poem written with brush and black ink on Yuki Japanese paper (70 grams).

Artists of all nationalities have been invited to participate in this initiative. SUSPENDed1 has enhanced the creative use of architectural space and its structural elements with a unique exhibition proposal in which the selected works have been exhibited suspended in the air, hanging from the beam structure forming part of the hall at the hotel. The different heights to which the works have been exposed, the diversity of their sizes, and the slight movement that occurs in the installation system have given dynamism to the whole display. At the same time, they have allowed direct manipulation by the public attending the fair.

The artists selected for this call have been: Ana Ruth Esponda // Agostina Flamini // Alexandra Flores Barrios // Amaia García Lanza // Arturo Prieto // Blanca Domínguez Martínez // Carmen M. Castañeda Díaz // Carmen Úbeda Herranz // Clara Isabel Arribas Cerezo // Claudia Molina Guixot // Daniel de Hevia // Elena G. Navarrete-Pastelena // Fèlix Coll // Guilherme Bergamini // José Salguero Llánez // Karla Storch de Gracia // Lorena Ruiz Pellicero // Lujan Cordaro // Markus Schroll // Montaña Pulido Cuadrado // Nadia Abregò // Natalia Fürst // Pablo Benítez Lope // Pablo Pelluz // Rosa Pinedo // Sonámbulo (Darío Meléndez / Karla Rebolledo) // Sonia de Viana.

Thank you very much to Lola Martínez and Miriam Trébol for the pictures taken during the fair, and to Sonia de Viana for the picture of the preparations. Miriam has also published a comprehensive post sharing everything she saw at the fair.
