On 13 March 2010, we organised a guided tour to the exhibition “Cartografías de la creatividad: 100% valencianos‚ accompanied by the curator of the exhibition Rafael Gil and our President and art curator Anne-Marie Melster.

Cartografías de la creatividad: 100% valencianos was opened on 12 February 2010 at the Centre del Carme and was closed on 2 May. During these three months, visitors were given the opportunity to make themselves familiar with the latest tendencies of contemporary art in Valencia. More than 200 works by 100 artists born in the Valencian Community occupy 2500 square metres exhibition space in the old convent.

Renowned designers such as Culdesac, Odosdesign and Mario Ruiz were among among the participating artists. During the visit, we were given the opportunity to exchange with the Sevillan artist Javier Velasco, currently residing in Valencia, whose spectacular work “Una lluvia de lágrimas” was placed at the cupula of the exhibition hall. Tears of glass were hanging in different heights from the ceiling, which made it impossible to capture it on a photo. This installation could be found in the “Work in progress” area, next to works of Anna Talens, Alvaro Tamarit, Ernesto Casero, Moisés Mahiques, Alex Francés or Nuria Fuster.
