Circa Puerto Rico 2010

Precious metals, like gold and silver, were once the basis of all economic transactions.  Now we are at the mercy of artificially inflated markets and systems of exchange.  The accepted value of goods or services is no longer certain and concrete; everything is uncertain and ephemeral.  We float in a bubble of speculation; a thin veneer, inflated by hot air.

Son Espace is a young gallery founded in 2005 in the town of Palafrugell near Girona. It’s located in an old house in the town centre that still preserves its original layout and features. Artists who exhibit in the gallery can utilise all of the available space for solo exhibitions, or show their work exclusively in one of the gallery’s rooms, allowing an open and intimate dialogue between artist, space and viewer. The house has got three floors, two of them for exhibitions and the other for storage and an artist studio. The total exhibition space is approximately 150 m2. We are thrilled to announce CIRCA Puerto Rico ‘10, fifth edition of the premiere art event in the Caribbean, returning to the Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan on a new date: from January 29 through February 1st, 2010.
