MADRID ART LAB

While ruminating, Pablo Picasso claimed that… “Every child is born an artist The problem is how to remain an artist while growing up...”. To what I ask myself: how do we remain artists as we grow up?

​

The answer I would give the master would be the MADRID ART LAB: a training and fabrication art center for children where boys and girls can develop their creativity in a family environment.

​

Guided by their childish intuition, kids, along with teachers, parents and grandparents collaborate together to design and construct different prototypes of ARTEFACTS.

​

These ARTEFACTS are objects of architectonic-scuptural nature, half toy-half furniture, that can become street furniture, plant stands, pergolas, swings, urban sports facilities... They are built in an assembly line, as an industrial product; however, each one will be singular and unique, like a work of art. As different prototypes are produced, these are distributed across the multitude of parks around the urban context.
