Los Torreznos received the 2025 Community of Madrid Opening Award.
As part of the ‘Semantic Fields’ exhibition at the Freijo Gallery, they presented a live performance.

Albarrán Bourdais is pleased to invite you to a conversation between the artist and Miguel Ángel García Hernández, on the occasion of the exhibition “e-conmotion. Collective memories and conscious futures,” which will take place at our space in Madrid on Thursday, October 23, at 7 p.m.

How did Juan Hidalgo shape his musical language, and what influences shaped that musical aesthetic? Starting with his work Rrose Sélavy, we will explore how Juan Hidalgo drew on such disparate languages as Dadaism, minimalism, conceptualism, and serialism to produce one of his most iconic works, and how this shaped a new way of listening and a new kind of listener.

Eloy V. Palazón holds a PhD in Art History from the Complutense University and a degree in Mathematics from the same university, as well as a master's degree in Philosophy of Art from Goldsmiths College (University of London). He currently teaches at IES and USAC. His research focuses on the relationships between art, sexual identity, and gender, as well as postcolonial theories and the exploration of the symbiosis between art, science, music, dance, and architecture.

Coinciding with the anniversary of the DANA, the exhibition space will be activated as a place of living memory with a collective reading of real testimonies of this tragedy until 8:11 p.m., the time when the victims received the alert on their mobile phones, when many of them had already died. The action activates collective memory through presence, interruption and listening, turning art into a tool for care, justice and resistance.
