JustMAD is gearing up to launch 2017’s iteration next February. Soon we shall be announcing our curatorial team as well as new sections. In the meantime, everyone in the team wishes to extend an invitation to all aficionados and Contemporary Art lovers to attend this phenomenal encounter with the Emerging Art. Please mark your calendars and join us from 21-26 February at COAM’s headquarters in Madrid’s city center.

Art Residency Program

For the fourth consecutive time and thanks to the support of the town of Avilés and Fundación Banco de Santander, JustMAD celebrates a new edition of JustRESIDENCE. This is a 4-week art residency program that offers residents the opportunity to enjoy a creative experience in companionship with other international artists. Curatorial discourse defined for 2017’s edition is the transformation and reclaim of the industrial landscape through art.

Emerging Art Fair Madrid Curatorial

At JustMAD8 we wish to continue working towards the internationalisation of Spanish emerging Art. In order to do it so, in 2017 Isabela Villanueva will be joining our curatorial team. Venezuelan-born, Isabela is a well-known expert in contemporary Latin-American art and has recently curated the Focus Latin America section at Art Toronto 2016.

Selected Artists

The destination was chosen to host JustRESIDENCE 2017 is the town of Avilés in the north of Spain, and we are delighted to announce Carlos Garaicoa as JustRESIDENCE 2017 resident’s mentor.

Solo Project Section

This is JustMAD’s eighth edition and its goal is to stay strong in supporting emerging art galleries, alternative spaces in Spain and abroad. Seeking to fulfil this motto, we have picked up the solo-project section under the name of Curated Venture.

To curate this very important part of the fair, we are delighted to announce the collaboration of magnificent curator Tim Goossens.
