Building on the fabulous success of last year’s exhibition, which was attended by hundreds of Spaniards and many other nationalities alike, this September sees the second edition of the Con Otros Ojos exhibition, organised in conjunction with the AAPL (Associación de Anglo-Parlantes de Loja) and Loja’s Department of Culture.

Now an annual event in the calendar of the Poniente Granadino, the theme of the exhibition continues to be that of Spain seen from an outsider’s point of view. This year, three photographers, a fine artist and an illustrator come together to create a fascinating glimpse of scenes of everyday life in the Poniente Granadino, which – because of their very ordinariness – would perhaps normally go unnoticed if not seen by fresh eyes.

The amplification of the beautiful 16th century Renaissance building that is Loja’s emblematic cultural centre, CIC El Pósito, means that this year’s exhibition occupies an extra exhibition room, making three in total, and consequently gives the participating artists ample space to show a varied selection of work.

To further extend the boundaries of Con Otros Ojos into an interactive cultural event rather than simply a static exhibition, on Friday 1st October, in the plaza outside the Pósito, a street theatre performance Henry VIII’s visit to Loja, taking a humorous look at medieval England will be put on by the The Mollina Music Hall Company.

Oil by Sollmann of church in Albacín

The photos belong to the descendents of Paul Sollmann (1886-1950) from Germany who took many photos in that year of Granada city and province, as well as other cities in Spain. This photographer and impressionist painter live in Granada until the 1920’s when he returned to his homeland. Whilst living in Granada, he married Granadina Angelina Macho Millet Martos.

The photos will be on display until September, so there is plenty of time, but don’t forget, of course.

ArteCalle came to life because Andrea had an idea and a desire to do something beautiful in (and for) the town. In her own words, the idea “was to bring the flair of art into the village.” The intent was not only to beautify the town for the summer, but also to create a cultural art event that involved both local artists and establishments. The aim was also to create exposure for local artists and to generate interest in their works of art.

It was easy to get the local community involved because the project is such a creative one. Not to mention the fact that is has all the right ingredients in order to become a successful one. The concept is to decorate the streets and establishments of La Herradura with original and colorful artwork.

Different artists in the area will have their sculptures, paintings, ceramics and other art objects featured in various locations throughout town during the summer. There are 25 establishments participating in the project, ranging from the hotel, to boutiques, to restaurants and real estate agents. Naturally, the Town Hall is also very supportive of the project and hopes it will become an annual event.

Starting in July, you will see streetlamps throughout town decorated with large banners. Each banner, measuring 50 x 140 cm, will show a particular piece of artwork, the name of the artist, and the name of the establishment where you can view the original piece. The establishment pays a fee to sponsor the banner during this three-month event.

A brochure will be available that includes an ‘art-walk’ map with a route to follow in order to see all the pieces being showcased. Also look at the ArteCalle posters hanging in the surrounding towns for a list of all participants.

What a great way to spend the day in La Herradura – it sounds almost like an exciting treasure hunt to me! All the works of art will be available for sale through Kuerbis & Kaviar Art Studio. For more information see www.kuerbis-kaviar.com or contact Andrea at tel. 671 696 743.
