One of the major problems of young curators and artists is that they lack the opportunity to promote themselves internationally. As a direct result of this, they usually concentrate on collaborations on a national level. This makes, that especially the young curators obtain an outstanding knowledge of the national art-scene and the up-and-coming local artists who have not yet been included in the well-known international art circles. But their projects, exhibitions, works and events are – although highly interesting - fairly unknown on an international level.

Hablar en Arte has invited five curators from Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania in order to interconnect and exchange ideas and impressions for the mutual benefit of all implicated parties: artists, curators and cultural organizations.

In their visit to Madrid from the 28th to 31st of October the curators will get a close look to the cultural structure of the city. Among other activities, they will realize a portfolio review with 20 artists which are included in the Archivo de Creadores of Matadero Madrid.

Selected artists are: Ali Hanoon; Barbará Fluxá; Busto Bocanegra; Clara Montoya; Dani Silvo; Daños Colaterales; Enrique Radigales; Hisae Ikenaga; Ivan Pérez; Julio Falagan; Kristoffer Ardeña; Los Husos; Maite Camacho; Esther Mañas / Arash Moori; Maya Wanatabe; Miren Doiz; NOPHOTO; Pablo Valbuena; Primoz Bizjak; Rosell Meseguer

On Saturday, 30th of October, 7 pm. the five invited curators will present themselves and their organizations in a public panel talk at Matadero Madrid. Afterwards we will organize a cocktail for the assistance and the speakers of the board.
