Spanische Künstler in Berlin zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts. Artistas españoles residentes en Berlín a principios del siglo XXI
Description
Ever since the start of the 21st century, there seems to have been only one destination for the latest generation of artists: Berlin. The German capital has become an important reference for artists from all over the world. Year after year, artists from around the world flow into the city. Interestingly enough, many of the artists who have chosen Berlin as their second home come from Spain. One re
ason for this phenomenon is the serious economic crisis in their own country, but the trend is also part of the spirit of the times that has become everyday reality in a Europe characterised by the euro and cheap airlines.
In response to the phenomenon of “cultural emigration” on the part of Spanish artists to the German capital, the Spanish Embassy in Berlin is presenting the exhibition “Destino: Berlín / Destination: Berlin”, a carefully selected exhibition of Spanish artists. The majority of these artists is just starting their careers and has distinguished themselves by the great quality of their works and already has promising international careers. Curator Creixell Espilla-Gilart has also selected several works by artists who are already established on the international market and have chosen Berlin as the source of their search for inspiration and new energy.
