Presented as part of FotoWeekDC2012, this collective exhibition brings together for the first time artists who were awarded the Spanish National Prize for Photography.

The exhibition, organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport of Spain and curated by Artendencias, Carmen de la Guerra and Javier Díez, becomes an anthology of the history of Spanish photography across the last sixty years, visualizing unsuspected links among the works of different artists. When viewing the exhibition as a whole, we can observe how the development of individual artists has been consistent with the transformation of Spanish society from the fifties to the present day.

Featuring the works of Gabriel Cualladó, Cristina García Rodero, Humberto Rivas, Joan Fontcuberta, Alberto García-Alix, Chema Madoz, Toni Catany, Joan Colom, Carlos Pérez Siquier, Ramón Masats, Ouka Leele, Pablo Pérez-Mínguez, Manuel Vilariño, Bleda y Rosa.

Before arriving in Washington to this iconic and historic mansion, former residence of the Spanish Ambassador designed by architect George Oakley Totten, the exhibition has toured through Madrid, Lisbon, Tokyo, New York, and Ljubljana.

Gallery Hours: Wednesday-Friday: 4–8 pm, Saturday and Sunday: 12–5 pm. Free and open to the public.
In conjunction with Transitional Bodies, a photography exhibition organized by the Iberoamerican Embassies in Washington, D.C. and three photography exhibitions at the Mexican Cultural Institute.
