Site-Specific Conversation x Barcelona Gallery Weekend 2023 #3

Site-Specific Conversation offers a series of conversations with artists and gallerists participating in Barcelona Gallery Weekend 2023 that will be published weekly during the summer.

The proposal once again takes a novel, this time written by Patti Smith, Just Kids, to focus on "growing up together" and delve into the beginnings, professionalisation, coexisting with the demands of the art market and collaborative dynamics, among other aspects.

This week, we’re talking to artist Teresa Estapé and Laura González Palacios, founder of Chiquita Room. There is a special understanding between the two, rare between an artist and a gallerist, thanks to their friendship before the opening of the gallery. Or, as Laura points out, a  gallery and “much more”. Chiquita Room offers a home to artists who want to live in the city for a while, as well as organising workshops, talks, conferences, and more. It’s a space that takes care: over what is done there, of artists and of those who take part in it as visitors. Click to read!
