Obra Social Caja Madrid presenta Generació 2010. Beques d'Art Caja Madrid, projecte dedicat al suport, promoció i difusió dels artistes joves del nostre país. Aquesta nova edició presenta el treball dels sis projectes becats, desenvolupats pels artistes al llarg de l'any 2009. Conscients de la capacitat de l'art per sensibilitzar i aprofundir en les problemàtiques del nostre món, els artistes aborden temes com la diàspora i el desarrelament desencadenats per motius racials, polítics o socials, l'arquitectura autosuficient, la integració de col·lectius estrangers al nostre país, la reconstrucció de la memòria familiar, el concepte de temps en la fotografia, la configuració de la identitat o la reflexió sobre alguns aspectes de la nostra història recent. Per a això, es valen de diferents mitjans, com l'escultura-instal·lació, el vídeo, la videoinstal·lació, la fotografia i tot tipus de documentació.

There is a room in the Victoria and Albert Museum, a fairly narrow, nave-like, barrel-vaulted space, called the Raphael Gallery. That is where seven of the Cartoons that Raphael created for a great cycle of tapestries called The Acts of the Apostles have hung for the past half century. Those tapestries were commissioned from Raphael by the Medici Pope Leo X, in 1515, and they were destined to be displayed in the recently...
