Selection process "Curator wanted"
For young curators and curators residing in the Community of Madrid
Since 2009, the Arte Joven Hall promotes "Curator Wanted", an initiative that selects curatorial projects presented by young curators residing in the Community of Madrid and whose main objective is to make professionals in the sector and the public aware of an overview of current artistic creation thanks to the temporary exhibitions in which the ideas chosen by an expert jury materialize.
The projects submitted can deal with any topic, discipline and/or artistic format, always within the calendar and budget limits previously defined in the published annual requirements. It should be taken into account that the proposals presented must incorporate works by artists preferably under 35 years of age who reside, work or exhibit in the Community of Madrid, regardless of their nationality.
Selection for 2025
The General Directorate of Culture and Creative Industries has carried out the selection of the two winning projects in the XVI edition of Curator Wanted.
The jury formed by Paloma Martín Llopis, curator and researcher; Mara Sánchez Llorens, architect; Bruno Leitao, curator and researcher; Tania Pardo Pérez, director of the 2 de Mayo Art Center Museum (MCA2M); Juana Arana de Andrés, advisor of Plastic Arts and Asunción Cardona Suanzes, deputy director general of Fine Arts, have selected, among the 24 proposals presented, the projects:
The iguanas are going to bite the men who do not dream by Raquel Algaba López
A project focused on the reflection between the human and the natural, as well as resistance to the denatured environment, focusing all its attention on directing the viewer to participate in that reflection through fictional characters.
affective matter by Roberto Majano and Carmen Lael Hines
A project that investigates how the use of artificial intelligence can reconfigure the way we interact in physical space and the production of subjectivities. An exhibition and public program articulated from theory femtech and their interest in care, reproduction and sexuality. An exhibition on Artificial Intelligence without the use of screens that discovers the evolution of emotions in the era of digitalization.
The jury highlighted the high level of the projects presented.
The two exhibitions and their program of activities can be seen in the Young Art Room during the first half of 2025.
