and winter months intrigued and captivated by a good read. that’s what the characters created by american-Spanish design team Walter martin & paloma muñoz seem to suggest in our cover, suspended in the middle of a surrealistic winter setting. this season is also the perfect time to read and learn more about Spain’s influence in the americas, from america’s First City to one of the largest collections of Spanish art.

2015 marks the 450th anniversary of the founding of St. augustine, the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the continental united States, established by Spanish explorer pedro menéndez de avilés in 1565. as america’s First City prepares to commemorate this joyous occasion, Washington, d.C. will host the landmark exhibition “designing america: Spain’s imprint in the u.S.”, which will highlight Spain’s important contributions to the construction of the united States territory, landscape and cities, from the first settlements to the present day.

We will also celebrate the golden anniversary of the meadows museum in dallas. Fascinated by El prado museum’s spectacular

collection of Spanish masterpieces, texas philanthropist and oil financier algur h. meadows began his own collection of

Spanish art. today, the meadows museum is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Spanish

art outside of Spain.

Now in its 16th edition, the Young architects program at MoMA and MoMA PS1 has been committed to offering emerging architectural talent the opportunity to design and present innovative projects, challenging each year’s winners to develop an outdoor installation at MoMA PS1 that provides shade, seating, and water.

Andrés Jaque, drawn from among five finalists, designed a temporary urban landscape for the 2015 Warm up summer music series in MoMA PS1’s outdoor courtyard. The winning project, CoSmo opened at MoMA PS1 in Long Island City last June. This year’s unique construction, CoSmo, is a moveable artifact, made out of customized irrigation components, to make visible and enjoyable the so-far hidden urbanism of pipes we live by.

Izaskun Chinchilla Architects is a Spanish architectural office and winner of the 2015 City of dreams Competition –the first non-American winner ever. Their design takes inspiration from nature to create an innovative and flexible structure that directly engages with local communities and familiar materials. Flowers have the ability to respond to the natural environment, growing and morphing to remain in balance with nature. The designers believe architecture must adopt a similar responsiveness, adapting to uncertain budgets, social change and ecological dynamics naturally, beautifully and intuitively.

This design serves as a sheltered gathering place for people to meet, learn about the arts programs on the island, engage with performances or lectures, and enjoy the history of Governors Island.

The arrival of the Spanish in the Americas in 1492 launched Spain on an unprecedented adventure. It was the first European nation to reach the American continent and put a large part of it on the map. These discoveries were not limited to what is now known as Latin America; much of the United States was also first charted by the Spanish expeditions.

In 1513, 21 years after Columbus’ journey, Ponce de León reached Florida. From this moment, Spanish exploration gradually revealed the continent: the coast from Florida to Canada, the south and middle of the present-day United States, California and, in the 18th Century, the Pacific coast as far north as Alaska. Current place names bear witness to this across the whole country.

But the Spanish did not just explore the present-day United States; they remained for a long time, leaving a deep mark. Towns, presidios and missions were established, and vernacular architecture, urban planning and the landscape—transformed by the introduction of extensive livestock farming—still bear their influence.

The territory they encountered took the form of a frontier: the boundary of the unknown and the uncontrolled. In order to take possession of it, a system of points on the map was devised. Elements distributed throughout the territory (missions, presidios, villages and cities) formed networks in which each one had a specific function. These have left a clear mark on the region, and they often are the origin of the current urban and territorial structure.

Communicating these points generates lines: routes connecting the settlements for defense, supply and trade. Among these, the most significant were the Caminos reales: the overland routes, radiating from Mexico City, establishing communications between provinces. As important, if not more, were navigable routes through sea and rivers such as the Mississippi.

spain’s Architectural and urban Cultural Legacy in the u.s.

Gradual settlement upon the structures of points and lines led to the progressive occupation and exploitation of areas of territory. Graphic evidence of this initial stage has been found in such places as Florida, Puerto Rico and Saint Louis, MO. This led to a structure appearing on the territory as a pattern. The Spanish property system was based upon land grants made by the State to individuals or institutions, often as ranches for livestock farming.

Borders delimiting areas of influence between states also constructed territory. They were often drawn as abstract theoretical limits; thus, their delimitation was followed by the exploration and surveying of the territory they contained. Spain initially advanced its frontier through gradual expansion; borders with other countries were only demarcated after the appearance of French and English settlements in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. The present-day United States was formed by gradually expanding its borders through purchase or annexation treaties. Many of these, to the west and the south, were first established with respect to the Spanish possessions.

The Spanish occupation of the territory was consolidated by the establishment of cities. Their founding was a systematic process regulated by the Laws of the Indies, which enumerate the characteristics of the location—land, climate, water supply, port accessibility and safety—as well as the model of management and an urban design based on an unlimited grid around a square placed either in the center or on the waterfront.

The first city founded by Spain in the continental United States was San Agustín (St. Augustine), the capital of Spanish Florida, in 1565. Although it never had a large population, it was a fully functional civilian settlement, with commercial, religious and educational institutions and robust fortifications protecting it from English raids. As it was founded before the Laws of the Indies, it did not follow the structure they dictated.

New Orleans, founded in 1718 by France on the mouth of the Mississippi, is usually seen as the center of French influence in the United States. However, it owes its later importance to the 1762-1803 period of Spanish control. The French structure, arranged on a grid around the plaza de armas, was kept by Spain, but was substantially enlarged and completely fortified, and significant engineering works were implemented. The architecture of the famous French Quarter, while not outright Spanish, is the result of Spanish building codes.

Spain’s presence was accompanied by intense construction work as an instrument of the colonial policies. The works designed, funded and constructed by Spain during its 1513-1821 rule—forts, irrigation channels, government buildings, and missions—make it one of the main contributors to the Unites States’ national heritage. Among them we can highlight the missions and presidios, such as Santa Barbara in California, San Xavier del Bac in Arizona and San Jose in Texas, as well as Presidio La Bahia in Texas. Urban architecture remains in St. Augustine, Santa Fe, New Orleans and Monterey. Engineering works were limited in their territorial extent, but in San Antonio and New Orleans they were quite significant.

After the political presence of Spain in North America had disappeared, Spanish architects and engineers continued to move to the United States to work. Guastavino, a Valencian who introduced timbrel vaulting to the US and constructed nearly a thousand buildings with his patented system, and Sert, an exile of the Spanish Civil War who went on to lead the Harvard Department of Architecture, are some of the most outstanding cases. Over the last few decades, the most prestigious Spanish offices have also created significant buildings in the United States.

Private engineering companies have also upheld the Spanish tradition, lending their expertise to highly relevant projects. Companies such as Abertis, Dragados, OHL and Ferrovial have undertaken very significant projects in the transport sector, while Iberdrola, Acciona, ACS and Repsol have implemented state-of-the-art renewable energy projects.

Imagine a book with all the classic sections, but without a phonetic or grammatical reading. That is, one that can only be “read” graphically. grafía Callada (hushed Writing) is project by Spanish graphic designer Pepe Gimeno originated with the idea of constructing a book in which not a single intelligible word appears.

Gimeno’s initial intention was to achieve a deconstructed view of the book, to be able to separate content and form. The result of the project is a work on the structures of writing and its codes, that will be on display at New York’s Type Directors Club this December.

The Museum of Modern Art presents a major retrospective devoted to the art of Spanish-Uruguayan artist Joaquín Torres-García (1874–1949). The exhibition comprises works ranging from the late 19th century to the 1940s, and includes drawings, paintings, objects, sculptures, and original artist notebooks and rare publications. This retrospective places emphasis on two key moments in the artist’s life: 1923 to 1933, when Torres-García participated in various European early-modern avant-garde movements while establishing his own signature pictographic-constructivists style; and 1935 to 1943, when he produced one of the most striking repertoires of synthetic abstraction upon his return to Uruguay.

Her work examines the wellsprings of artistic experience, altering the traditional relationships between artist, work, and viewer, as well as those of the individual, whose daily behavior she questions through performance, film, and discussion.

A new portion of the mad marginal saga was inaugurated in Montreal, with the of Crimes and dreams exhibition at the Fonderie Darling summer 2014, together with other exhibitions.

Goya & Dalí: Los Caprichos

VISUAL ARTSmiamiSeptember — october

an exhibition that revisits goya through the work of dalí on the former’s series of prints entitled los Caprichos.

Dalí shows us a complete work of art, consistent with Goya’s thinking, marked by a programmatic and enlightened character that reconciles the multiple sources of knowledge from Baroque tradition, the Classical world and the French Encyclopedists.

Goya’s los Caprichos was an artistic experiment exposing the foolish superstitions in 18th-century Spanish society. Goya described the series as depicting the innumerable foibles and follies to be found in any civilized society, and from the common prejudices and deceitful practices which custom, ignorance, or self-interest have made usual. In 1973 Salvador Dalí created a metamorphosis of Goya’s suite into a colorful surrealist masterpiece. From the numbered series of 200, each piece is hand signed by Salvador Dalí and is a genuine rarity for the Dalí and Goya admirers.

meadows museum’s 50th Anniversary

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES

The Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University is truly unique, with a supportive University leadership, a focused collection of Spanish art, a generous and consistent patronage, a fantastic board, and most importantly, a family dedicated to the vision of its founder, Algur H. Meadows. The recent historic gift from The Meadows Foundation, under the leadership of Linda P. Evans, grandniece of our founder, helps exemplify this ongoing support. In fact, Algur Meadows’ vision of creating a “Prado for Texas” vividly carries on, and I hope he would be proud of everything that has been accomplished all these years and the promising future before us.

It has been 50 years since the Meadows Museum opened its doors and made its renowned Spanish collection available to the public. Since the death of Algur Meadows in 1978, the museum has followed his vision and continued to grow. The collection has more than doubled in size, and a grand new building was dedicated in 2001. The institution has also focused on making research and scholarship central to its mission, developing major educational initiatives, including lectures, fellowships and inclusive programming. Through active participation in the academic and educational life of SMU and collaboration with faculty across campus, the museum has helped develop fertile initiatives over the years, including classes, workshops and other learning opportunities for our students that have often become career-changing experiences. Moreover, the museum has also organized exhibitions and published insightful catalogues and books to accompany these projects. All of these exciting developments have made the Meadows Museum the center for Spanish art in America. In fact, we are the only museum in the world to have an ongoing partnership with the Prado Museum in Spain, to provide yearly major exhibitions focused on the art of Spain, and to maintain a growing network of fellows and scholars interested in the study of Spain’s art and culture. It is our hope that, sooner or later, anyone interested in Spain and its art will come to experience the Meadows.

This summer, the museum was proud to present the Abelló collection as the only venue in the United States to feature its treasures. As part of the museum’s golden anniversary year exhibition programming, the collection focused on the idea of taste and collecting. Belonging to successful businessman Juan Abelló and his remarkable wife, Anna Gamazo, the collection included works by many of Spain’s greatest talents. The couple shares a passion for modern and contemporary art, which, coincidentally, Algur Meadows also collected with zest, including works by Jackson Pollock, Alberto Giacometti and Franz Kline. The collection assembled by the Abellós throughout their lives is remarkable. With The abelló Collection: a modern taste for European masters, we presented the majority of the collection’s highlights: a total of 105 paintings, drawings, and one sculpture, all of which testified to the depth and quality of the art in the collection.

Closing the year we will have another major private collection from Spain on view in the U.S. for the first time: treasures from the house of alba: 500 Years of art and Collecting. This exhibition will run from September 11 through January 3, 2016, and will feature over 100 objects from this most distinguished noble Spanish family. In contrast to Abelló, the Alba collection is the result of 19 generations of collecting, from the 1400s to the present. Major treasures never before seen outside of Spain, including Fra Angelico’s madonna of the pomegranate and Goya’s the duchess of alba in White, will be seen, along with incredible archival materials such as Columbus’s first map of the New World; the Alba Bible, the first Bible to be translated directly from Hebrew to Castilian in the 1430s; and a first edition of Cervantes’ famous novel don Quixote, among many other prized objects. The exhibition will take over most of the second floor of the Meadows Museum and will showcase the history of taste in the family from medieval times to today. I would like to invite everyone reading these lines to experience the Meadows today and come discover this museum, a cultural embassy of Spanish art in the heart of America.

This exhibition presents paintings by masters such as Titian, Goya, Rubens, Rembrandt, Ingres, and Renoir; 16th-century tapestries by Willem de Pannemaker; decorative arts from the court of Emperor Napoleon III; illuminated manuscripts; miniatures; antiquities; prints; sculpture; drawings; the first bible translated from Hebrew into Spanish; and historic documents such as the papers of Christopher Columbus.

Curated by writer Elvira Lindo, this exhibition analyzes Manhattan from the lens of four resident Spanish photographers in the Big Apple. The photographers Fernando Sancho, Xavi Menós, Ana Nance and Sion Fullano give us their vision, in which we can also sense their experience.

Four visions of a city that demands of its inhabitants an extreme grade of courage. A city that exchanges bravery for liberty. It is a city of pioneers. Pioneers that renew themselves in successive migrations, that change the nature of the city in waves and, at the same time, keep alive its recognizable character. What would New York be without the brave ones that inhabit it? The four participating photographers take part in this collective desire to make a space for themselves in this urban landscape. There is no city in the world that so urgently requires a spirit of conquest.

VISUAL ARTSnEW YorKdecember — January

The exhibition is an open dialogue about multicultural identities and heritage, migration, and cultural assimilation though the eyes of six Spanish-American photographers. The dichotomy of belonging to two places and the constant play between the influence of cultural background versus the setting, remains the core of this exhibition. Memories, popular culture, identity, the every day life, nature and urban spaces function as starting points to analyze the motivations and expectations that lie behind each photographic series.

Our audiences, the musicians of the Boston Pops Orchestra, and Keith Lockhart himself were mesmerized by his great artistry. In fact, I’ve been referring to him as ‘the Yo Yo Ma of Celtic Music!’

PERFORMING ARTSWaShington, dCSeptember — october

a contemporary take on the classic tale by Federico garcía lorca, adapted by Fernando J. lópez.

GALA Hispanic Theatre celebrates its ¡Viva los 40! anniversary season with the world premiere of a new adaptation of Yerma, a dramatic tragic poem written in 1934 by the renowned Spanish poet and writer Federico García Lorca. Since its inception in 1976, GALA has promoted Spanish classical and contemporary theater in the United States and engaged in cultural exchanges with artists from Spain.

In this new adaptation by the Spanish playwright Fernando J. López, the cast has been reduced to five characters: Yerma, Juan, Victor, La Vieja Dolores and María. This concentration of characters heightens the oppression of a loveless marriage, forbidden desires and repressive society faced by Yerma in her rural environment and underscores how even today women face the tension between motherhood and their role in society. A playwright who has had numerous productions in Spain, López is also a published novelist and a noted scholar in Europe and the United States.
