HOME DECOR
The Casa Decor reopens its doors so that people can observe its wonderful architecture both outside and inside. Casa Decor is open until June 27, celebrating its 56th edition and this time you can enjoy Casa Tomas Allende, located on the corner of Carrera de San Jerónimo, specifically in Plaza de Canalejas 3.
The House of Tomas Allende, built between 1916 and 1920, is a regionalist building. It has a splendid facade which shares both Gothic and Renaissance architecture and popular architecture. In addition, the facade has to its credit characteristic elements of architecture from other regions, such as the carved wooden viewpoint typical of Cantabrian buildings or the ornamentation with scallop shells on the brick facade, simulating the Casa de las Conchas de Salamanca.
In turn, the interior also has an architecture and art that is worth observing. The building has a terrace with extraordinary views of the center of Madrid. On the other hand, the building has balconies to façades that are worth seeing, such as those found in Plaza Canalejas or La Carrera de San Jerónimo.
To the SOULS: Brave, run!
From May 14 to June 14, you can enjoy the exhibition by Daniel A. Barrio and Ledián Hedinger at the Visión Ultravioleta gallery, on Calle Ciudad Real 7.
The exhibition tries to reflect the canons of power in society. It is about expressing how there are societies in which the extreme effort to survive and the constant needs become daily. That is why the two authors have decided to create the "Resilience Collective" and publicize these injustices through art.
The name of the title of the exhibition comes from the phrase found in the Cuban anthem in which it says "to Arms: brave, run." Substituting "weapons" for "souls" since you don't need weapons to change things.
Claudia Comte. AfterNature
Until August 22, the exhibition of the Swiss artist Claudia Comte will be available at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary. A display of chainsaw-cut sculptures from endemic wood found in Jamaica.
The exhibition tries to show the importance of corals in the production of oxygen on earth and the need for them to favor their regeneration. The exhibition has two spaces, day and night. In the first, the samples that are presented are wooden sculptures in the shape of coral. In the second, for its part, a mural painting is shown in which the depths of the seabed are shown through graphics, forms, technology and materials to encourage reflection and an approach to corals.
