Jude Castel in Madrid
YC artist Jude Castel is having a group exhibition “un space” where you can find the work Centro Botín by Jude Castel. This work represents Centro Botin, a prestigious cultural centre in the city of Santander (North of Spain).
Vernissage: 12 November 19:00-21:00
Alvaro Alcázar Gallery
Ferrer del Rio 5, Madrid, Spain
Álvaro Alcázar presents, starting November 12, the exhibition “A Space”, a collective show centered on the broad theme of space. A total of sixteen artists, including painters, sculptors, and photographers, come together here to each showcase a space that is significant to them or simply their interpretation of this concept, which unfolds in multiple dimensions—from the inner space of the human psyche to the vast expanse of nature and urban environments.
For this exhibition, the gallery features in-house artists such as Jose Cháfer, Kepa Garraza, Guillem Nadal, Antonio Murado, Eduardo Arroyo, Rafael Canogar, Peter Krauskopf, Mari Puri Herrero, Juan Gopar, and José Luis Serzo. Additionally, the presence of invited artists like Sevillians Paz Juristo and Anuca Aisa, María Carrión, Jude Castel, and the Dutch artist Pim Palsgraaf stands out.

KIMCOLIN in SEOUL
Pilseungsa Experimental Art Space is a artist run space by JUNG Pilseung since 2019. The gallery is located in Sewoon Plaza a 46 year-old landmark of Seoul. Sewoon is an electronics and parts specialty mall. Glass walled units with vendors handling technical hardware constitute the building. The gallery got to take advantage of the enclosed glass space, especially during Covid-19; the "closed" unmanned space could remain open. Jung is open to new ideas, and with an interest in the process and experience, he continues to show Korean and International artists and has become a presence in the competitive Seoulite art scene. KimColin is the 42nd artist to exhibit here.

One of the new works was inspired by Sewoon Plaza itself. When KimColin was a teenager, it was rumored that some vendors at Sewoon sold illegal porn under the table. It was also known that there were bad seeds in the neighbourhood and either they take your money from you or your new treasured illegal goods. KimColin didn’t have the guts to venture out there, although there were other fascinating things being sold in the plaza. The newest Walkman or double deckers. All this business was taboo.
In KimColin’s Vanity Ware, Sewoon Plaza is transformed into a boudoir. Electronic parts, mechanical parts and technical hardware looked like jewelry and they fill the jwagyung - a vanity with a foldable mirror. Sewoon is plaza of wonders and possibilities. They say with the right knowledge one can build a tank from parts here. Unfortunately gentrification has been causing vendors to leave allowing new businesses to open. Artist spaces are dispersed through out the building while fashion and beauty businesses are springing up. Cafes with different characters are line the building. Proposals for demolishing the building for new high-rises in the heart of Seoul is nothing new. KimColin arranged kurkuma and lotus seed pods in a vase. Lotus symbolize longevity and kurkuma, otherwise known as the flowers of turmeric, symbolize prosperity.
In an attempt to make Korean traditional paintings modern, KimColn printed the image on hanji, Korean rice paper, and framed it in pyogu, a framing method where the image floats above silk. Pyogu itself is not popular anymore, and the process is being modernized to emulate the traditional look.

Peter Wallis on Impermanence and Memory
Peter Wallis developed a body of work at the PACE house, June 2024, exploring the history of the New England Coast, while investigating themes of impermanence and memory.
In 2007, American artist Stephen Pace (1918-2010) bequeathed his summer home in Stonington for use by Maine College of Art & Design as a residency and gallery, to ensure its continued use as an artistic haven.
Stephen Pace was born in 1918 in Missouri and studied at the Art Students League in New York and the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris. He settled in New York and became an acclaimed artist known for his Abstract Expressionist work. In later years, he devoted himself to more representational paintings and drawings. Stephen and his wife, Palmina, bought the Stonington house, a turn-of-the-century sea captain’s residence set on a ledge overlooking the Penobscot Bay, in 1943. They summered there for sixty-four years, until their relocation to Indiana.
Peter Wallis developed a body of work at the PACE house, June 2024, exploring the history of the New England Coast, while investigating themes of impermanence and memory. These works are playful criticisms on our Colonial past. Peter worked with colleague Theodore Bettcher on Interactive Animations that will be presented in Los Angeles this fall. Working in Stephen Pace's Studio allowed for larger and more expressive works using Oil.
