Barcelonas´ Emerging Artists May Finally See The Light

Online, September 17, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Since the beginning of September and until the end of the month, eleven very well known Barcelona´s contemporary art galleries are exhibiting the art proposals of several local emerging artists. They are doing so both in solo and collective exhibitions.

Carlos Duran, president of the association and owner of Galería Senda (a contemporary art gallery where Peter Halley exhibited this year) says "there are young artists in Barcelona, the city has talent and our responsibility is to drive it "

Last week, spanish artist Marla Jacarilla´s with her clever and reasoned installation Notas al pie de Dublinesca (2012), won the price "best emerging artist" of this new emerging art proposal.

This new art proposal is promosing. Barcelonas art galleries need, as any business does from time to time, to reinvent themselfs and must develope new ideas in order to do so. Besides, Barcelona is an international city visited by millions of people each year (of whom many are art passionates, collectors, art fans ....). The city might perfectly make the most of what it already has and be transformed into a unique and specialized cultural city.

Barcelona´s cultural offer is wide: the city design, its impressive buildings and street sculptures, the Museo Picasso, Fundación Miró, Caixa Forum, MACBA, MNAC, SWAP emerging art fair, art galleries of many types , street art, art incubator factories ... just to name a few. It´s only a question of willingness and right planning to transform Barcelona into something contemporary and culturally world wide inviting and unique.

We´ll see what happens.
