Photo España 08
May 7th, 2008Every year between June and July, for more than a decade now, Madrid has become the photography capital of the world. Over 600 exhibitions have been presented in museums, art centres and galleries, which have attracted more than half a million visitors each year, making PHotoEspaña the largest cultural event in Spain and an important stop on the international art circuit.
Some of the institutions that have opened their doors to the Festival’s proposals are: Casa de América, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Círculo de Bellas Artes and the Prado Museum, among many others.
This year’s event will be held between 4th and 27th July and the theme is ‘place’, a theme chosen by one of the chief organisers of the event, Sérgio Mah.
The Festival’s programme will give the general public and specialists a chance to see extraordinary works created by the most prestigious Spanish and international image-makers. It is a must for anyone who appreciates photography. There are plenty of apartments in Madrid available for visitors to rent.
