Raisa Álava at VITREO#1

For this first edition we were joined by Artoteka, and we had the work of artist Raisa Álava.

If you still don’t know VITREO, it’s our glass-walled workspace turned into a “gallery”. The aim of the initiative is to bring art out onto the street, rotating emerging artists and projects.

At the opening of VITREO#1 we were lucky to have Raisa with us to answer questions about the work, and Laura Díez from Artoteka gave a short talk about her art-lending project. Over beers, snacks and laughs, ideas were shared and connections were made among everyone who came along. Any excuse is a good one to bring together different people from the local creative scene and catch up.

We’re very happy to announce that these 3 works by Raisa Álava will stay in the Belve office, and practically on the streets of Deusto, until 4 March 2024.

We’ve received quite a few DMs asking whether it would be possible to exhibit in future editions, so for the second edition we’ve taken up the challenge and want to make VITREO more participatory, with an open call to any artist working with physical media who wants to take part in the next exhibition. Don’t be shy, send us your proposal! We have lovely big white walls for hanging work, tables for sculptural pieces and even windows ready to be messed up.
