For the most part young people, with their whole lives ahead of them but who have not had the opportunity they deserve.<br>Spaces like this must be rethought from another position and with other parameters.<br>A polygon like Marconi must be a place of professional, safe, friendly and inclusive development for everyone and especially for them.<br><br>Nuria looks towards that future, at those new opportunities.

<div>Grant Librería was founded in May 2014, together with Swinton Gallery, with the aim of being a cultural space of reference in Madrid. At Grant Librería, the emphasis is on bibliographical selection, providing a diversified and specialised collection diversified in the field of essays, comics, fanzines, artist's books, narrative and illustrated books. A selection where one can find a varied and complete collection, and in many cases, in its original language. The bookstore hosts presentations, signings, lectures, screenings and cultural activities that show the critical, contemporary and free spirit that characterizes us.<br>Swinton Gallery is a meeting place for creators from multiple disciplines that work with current codes and languages. A unique space that diversified accommodates projects by artists from all over the world. The main criterion in Swinton Gallery is very open, but the artist's artistic path prevails, as well as his/her story, always new and projected into the future with artworks that unite knowledge and new ways of thinking. The gallery sometimes functions as a residence, allowing artists to create unique works and installations, often ephemeral, that are directly related to the present, society. Faithful to these premises, Swinton is an open and free space where all artistic disciplines are contemplated and which defends a plural, queer, transgressive, feminist and contemporary programme.</div>

<div>El Rey de la Ruina (Tony Arribas). The hearts of El Rey de la Ruina are now a classic of Madrid' s landscape. He has been painting the streets sin 2000 with different alias.<br>El Rey de la Ruina nickname comes from his dreams as a kid with devastated and abandoned places (or ruins). Mostly because of the relation of this spaces with the literature and disptopic or postapocaliptic cinema. The use of the hearts in his art pieces are because of a diagnosis received a time ago of a cardiomegalia, the abnormal growth of the volume of the heart.</div>

Ever

<div>For each piece, Ever does <strong>anthropological research</strong>, seeking to discover the values and issues connected to specific communities where he works. Therefore, his rich and colorful piece on Embajadores Street combines art history references with figurative elements typical of <strong>the Lavapies neighborhood</strong>. The artist used motifs from Matisse’s iconic 1910 painting <em>Dance</em>, which symbolizes a strong sense of unity and a high level of community consciousness in the neighborhood. Inside Matisse’s dance circle, the artist added an assemblage of fruits, flowers and a range of different objects, all referencing <strong>El Rastro</strong>, a lively and multicultural flea market taking place each Sunday in Lavapies. On top of that, an assortment of kittens is there to provide a cuteness relief, while also sending a political message. Ever is quite happy with the feedback from the local community, highlighting the importance of creating a dialogue with them instead of just invading their space.</div>

Ben Eine

<div>Monumental mural by brit Ben Eine. The piece pays homage to the neighborhood were it is located: Lavapies. It was created as part of the first Urvanity Art Fair in 2017. <br><br>Here you have some background information about Eine extracted from "Widewalls":<br><br><strong>Ben</strong> <strong>Eine</strong> was born in 1970, in London. <strong>As a youngster, he worked for Lloyds of London and started painting walls as a vandal leaving his first tag all over London.</strong> Eine has been arrested for vandalism 14 times and was categorized as an artistic fugitive at a young age, but after two of his fellow graffiti artists were arrested and sent to prison he decided to step aside. After a while, he devoted his full attention to decorating the streets. During the course of time, <strong>Ben</strong> <strong>Eine</strong> became master graffiti artist and in past few years established a studio titled simply <em>Pictures on Walls</em> which became known for most iconic works. <br><br>Before he started flirting with commercial graffiti, <strong>Ben</strong> <strong>Eine</strong> was a very famous writer in the underground London graffiti scene. He was known for unusual <em>throw up</em> style which was aimed to stand out from the usual tags and dubs seen on the streets at the time. Largely inspired by the work of subversive fashion designer Noki, he first started to explore more commercial avenues in a workshop in Leonard Street, London. At this time, the artist contributed to sticker graffiti and was prolific in East London with his neon and black EINE stickers (multiple EINE names). In addition to development of his career is the fact that Eine’s screen printing skills have helped produce some of the most sought after prints from some of the greatest street artists on the planet.<br><br>When started out, the artist felt the existing graffiti artists were creating designs that were entirely too similar and therefore lacked interest. <strong>Eine was prone to invent something else and since was always interested in letters and how they could change shape when combined into words he decided to dedicate himself fully to that task.</strong> Therefore, he became completely focused on producing huge letters on shop fronts and his bright, colorful letters have transformed streets around the world in cities spanning from LA, over San Francisco, to Mexico City. Interestingly, in recent years with his commercial work, he has produced numerous lettering styles including shutter, circus, neon, elton, vandalism and wendy.</div>

Both universes merge in the central area with a portrait of Paco de Lucía, painted by the two artists.&nbsp;</div>

Artez

<div>Mural by Serbian artist Artez. It is located on Fuencarral, a commercial street in Madrid's city center. The piece was created for the 2019 edition of the Urvanity Art Fair.<br><br>Artez shared on Facebook the following message regarding this piece:<br><br>"Mural tells us the story of Madrid, a place where visitors from all around the globe are welcome to come and enjoy the vivid artistic and cultural content that this city has to offer. Positioned in the very centre of the town, this mural creates a contrast with the pedestrian shopping street in which it is located. Instead of carrying shopping bags, girl depicted on the mural is holding a pile of books important for the history and culture of the city, and a plant with a small birdhouse that is inviting all the 'birds' to come and feel like home!"<br><br>About <a href="http://artezonline.com/">Artez</a>:<br><br>Artez was born in 1988 in Belgrade, in former Yugoslavia. At a very young age he was confronted with the conflictive political situation and the graffiti culture that was starting to appear on the streets of Belgrade during the ’90s, This new way of expression inspired Artez to start spraying in public space when he was 15 years old. The temporary nature of graffiti gave him freedom to experiment with different styles and tools used for painting and the constant change of “workspace” awakened his love for creating art in public space. Artez soon mastered the use of spray can as a painting tool he used for creating different graffiti styles &amp; characters, 3D letters &amp; photorealism. Over the years his focus moved from painting small scale surfaces with spray cans to painting large scale murals with acrylic wall paint, brush and rollers. The style he created over the years can be described as a mix of realism and illustration.<br><br></div>

Moreover, the mural has a deeper meaning because it is a tribute to all men and women who have joined forces to unite this place.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Most importantly, La Chulapa is located in an enclave in Madrid where the inhabitants have resisted the attacks of gentrification that permeate the areas around the capital.
