Each year, Caja Madrid sponsors a contest entitle “Never-seen-before” to encourage the next generation of curatorial projects. With the idea of supporting contemporary art, each year this program gives young curators an attempt to advance the processes that stand for innovation, quality content and the ability of projects to adapt to existing resources.

All this began in 2002 and since then it has attracted a huge number of participating projects, and making it a referential competition for young artists today.

Three winning projects were chosen this year. The first, “Dark and Wild” was curated by Edu Hurtado is a curatorial research project that establishes the “forest” as a metaphorical territory of desire and rage. A space that reflects on violence, conceived as inherent to human beings and it serves also as an excuse to thoroughly analyze the patterns of control of the prevailing value system.

The second work is carried out under the name “Everything is out there” and Rosa Lleó y Zaida Trallero. This work is related to the repetition of images and objects from the past and how they are interpreted from a continuous present.

” Zines”, curated by Roberto Vidal and Oscar Martin, is the third of these jobs and tries to reflect what is happening in the contemporary publishing establishment at the level of independent publications, how it relates to the field of artistic production and social, cultural and political currents . The three projects will be visible to all visitors to apartments in Madrid in rooms A, B and C of La Casa Encendida and can be seen until August 29th.
