Formentera puts out catalogue celebrating ten years of Sant Ferran art market

catalogo-mercat-2018--baja-def8As Sant Ferran's “art market” turns ten, the Formentera Council's department of trade and office of culture and patrimony have put together a catalogue remembering ten years' worth of art in the street. The visual stroll down memory lane comes with twenty-four uniquely special looks at the island representing an equally diverse spectrum of art forms.

The Sant Ferran market was born following the initiative of a small collective of plastic and visual artists moved by the prospect of sharing their art — amongst themselves, and with people in the street. The premise: to create a multidisciplinary space for lovers of creativity and culture. The catalogue is at once a nod to the market's past, and an invitation to rediscover a hub of exchange and dialogue between some of the island's most prominent artistic languages.

The market's ten-year trajectory is proof not only of the initiative's staying power, but also the warm reception it has enjoyed among islanders and visitors. Past and present artists include Maria Teresa Matilla, Nuria Fortuny, Claudia Maccarini, Juan Escudero, Emilia Brussoni, Anna Ametller, Mar Ample, Sandra González, Raquel Caramazana Bocanegra, Julie Aubrun, Francisco Lucas, Elena Montesinos, Muntsabee, Fabiana Schulz, Iván Arguedas, César Ordás, Olga López, Maria Isabel Escandell, Gabriel Raventós, Juan González and Pablitopablo.

The catalogue can be found at the stands of market vendors. They are there every day but Wednesday and Sunday.
