The Cement Factory from the first period of the industrialisation of Barcelona, “The Factory”, keeps on living as a creative space inspired by Surrealism, Astraction and Brutalism. With its Cathedral, Garden and Silos, new and old generations work together surrounded by windows, doors, stairs, false perspectives, in a continuous unfinished work.
“We found enormous silos, a tall smoke snack, four kilometers of underground tunnels, machine rooms in good shape… This was fifteen year ago and it was our first encounter with the Cement Factory. Seduced by the contradictions and the ambiguity of the place, we decided quickly to retain the factory and, modifying its original brutality, sculpt it like a work of art.”

The short film Dancing Plague is the new work of a long collaboration of more than thirteen years between Diego Agulló and Jorge Ruiz Abánades . Based on three images of Peter Brueghel the Elder, and taking as a handwritten texts that recount the phenomenon of multitudes known as ” dancing mania ” or “Dance of San Vito ” , this film delves into the theme of the dance and its close affinity with the uncontrollable forces of chaos : immediate ability to interrupt work time , enabling another exceptional time of the bizarre, the jovial and festive but also of social disorder and catastrophe

María María Acha-Kutscher (Facebook) illustrates women exercising their voices in political struggles. She says her work focuses on the woman, on “her story, the struggles for emancipation and equality, and the cultural construction of femininity.” The political dimension of her work plays a dual role—“an artistic product in itself” and “an instrument covers a social need and... contributes to political transformations.”

"Felipe Pantone’s work is at the cutting edge of street art. Straddling conventional graffiti, typography and abstraction, his work fuses bold elements of graphic design with highly evolved geometric shapes to create an ultra-modern aesthetic which complements and reacts with the stark modernity of our cityscapes.Drawing on our concerns of the digital age and the speed at which technology is developing, Pantone’s art is like looking several light years ahead into the future and discovering a new language in which to communicate."

"Madrid-based architecture studio Plantea designed this small restaurant in a shopping mall just outside their hometown as the first unit of a newly established local fast-food company. The designers wanted to avoid any reference to typical chain restaurants and mass consumption —not an easy task, given the new restaurant’s location and business plan." says Yatzer
