Living With Art, Exhibiting At Home — VASTO Gallery

Monika Mróz — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 12:01:31 +0000

Founded two years ago as an online art gallery, VASTO has garnered international attention after unveiling its physical location in Barcelona. An eye-catcher for admirers of minimalist architecture, the gallery slips away from simple definitions. An apartment? An art gallery? For Carmen Riestra, VASTO’s founder, this division is redundant. Sharing the space with her life partner, Albert, she lives and works from there, with a 500- square-meter space often being transformed into a dynamic playground for her creative ventures. We visited Carmen at VASTO to talk about her experience of living in this unique space while navigating the contemporary art scene.

Chicago has long been a hub of artistic expression, where a dynamic blend of established institutions and emerging artists unite to celebrate creativity and harness the transformative power of art. The city maintains a robust reputation, reinforced by the annual return of EXPO Chicago, as it consistently embraces fresh artistic perspectives, encourages community involvement, and nurtures an environment that fosters innovation and boundless imagination. During IGNANT’s visit for the fair’s momentous 10th anniversary last month, we had the privilege of immersing ourselves in the city’s vibrant artistic scene and gaining insight into the ever-evolving landscape of the broader art world.
