Isidro Blasco, a Madrid artist, based in New York, with an architectural background that is no stranger to his work, presents for three months, Espacio emergente / Emerging Space a project of sculptural intervention designed specifically for the ballroom of the Lázaro Galdiano Museum.

The work, which is exhibited on the first floor of the museum from October 4 until January 26, 2020, presents a space in motion through a construction made with flat elements, fragments, which have been mounted on racks and covered in turn by fragments of photographs taken in different parts of the Museum.
Isidro Blasco not only achieves, with the realization of Espacio emergente, the connection of different spaces of the Museum, but also intervenes in the way in which visitors approach the Collection, generating a meeting place among the public that visits classic art of museum, and the contemporary art.

Blasco's piece displays a fragmented vision of museum spaces, over a complex world of vertical supports, characteristic of Blasco's work, which this time seems to be the frozen reflection of the typical movement of the space in which they are installed, the former Museum dance hall.

The interaction with the space and the personal fragmented vision of Blasco showing a new space made with photographs, taken many of them at close range and printed in color, manages to create more than a space, a "place", a piece where visitors interact with the space, activating time, memory and movement.
