Carmen Armbruster fuses Vienna and Formentera in new exhibition 'Escala Viena Connection'

The Office of Culture of the Consell de Formentera is pleased to report that 12–24 June, the "Ajuntament Vell" exhibition space will host "Escala Viena Connection", a group exhibition organised and promoted by the artist Carmen Armbruster.

The display will bring together the works of artists from various countries who coincided in Vienna and worked together in a range of forms, from painting and illustrations to sculpture, installation and audiovisual projections. As Armbruster explains, since then, several members of the group "had the opportunity to visit Formentera and wanted to share their visions of the island through this art exhibition."

Armbruster revisits the photographic project of a small installation she crafted in 2002, and adds sound elements to enrich the visual experience. "Escala Viena Connection" will feature a special projection to complement the works of the participating artists. Armbruster describes the central idea of the exhibition with the Catalan and Spanish word escala, meaning "ladder," or, as the artist sees it, "as a dock of embarkation; a point of departure on, or arrival from, a journey." In the two languages, the word also evokes the idea of a layover, or stop on a journey, and refers to Armbruster's own trip to Vienna, where she had the chance to coincide with this group of artists.

The exhibition will open Monday 12 June at 8.00pm and can be visited at "Ajuntament Vell" exhibition space Tuesday to Saturday, 11.00am to 2.00pm and 7.00pm to 9.00pm.

'Habitar', a group exhibition and artistic immersion in the local social fabric, at 'Ajuntament Vell'

The Office of Culture of the Consell de Formentera is pleased to report that from 29 May to 10 June, the "Ajuntament Vell" exhibition space will host "Habitat", a spring group exhibition organised and promoted by the Association of Artists of Formentera (ADAF) with the participation of 15 local artists.

The artists' decision to unite their talents in a group exhibition was born from the urgent need to address the issue of housing in our society. This unique and diverse exhibition highlights the artists' sense of social responsibility in sharing their vision on the crucial and sensitive subject of housing and our place on the island, and transform it into works of art.

Under the concept of "inhabiting", each artist has channelled their emotions and personal perspectives into the work, bringing together a wide range of styles and disciplines. The exhibition will include both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works, with oil and acrylic paintings, mixed techniques, photography, wood sculptures, and other forms of artistic expression. The group exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover and appreciate local artistic talent and the diversity of approaches to this timely theme. "The exhibition is a reminder that art is a universal language capable of transcending barriers and connecting people. Not only does it give local artists a platform to express themselves, but also invites us all to explore and question our relationship with the environment around us", explained ADAF.

Participating artists include Anna Reina, Bea Cubero, Brenda Novak, Diana Masiliauska, Emilia Brussoni, Fran Lucas Simón, Laura Larocca, Lola Raya, Marco Sánchez Noé, Maria Lagrange, Maribel Escandell Guasch, Irina Zadek, Simona Colzi, Silvina Taffuri and Teresa Matilla.

"Habitar" opens Monday 29 May at 8.00pm, and can be seen until 10 June, Tuesday to Saturday, 11.00am to 2.00pm and 7.00pm to 9.00pm in the Sala d'Exposicions "Ajuntament Vell".
