LEXUS PRESENTS THE NX ART MADRID

ART MADRID'24 JOINS LEXUS TO EXCLUSIVELY PRESENT NX ART MADRID

Lexus joins for the first time Art Madrid'24, one of the most important appointments in the capital's Art Week, which celebrates its nineteenth edition this year.

NX Art Madrid represents a revolutionary collaborative project between Lexus and the Casa Antillón artistic collective. This unique work, designed by the collective's talented artists, transforms the NX crossover into a unique expression of art and design. The exterior of the vehicle becomes a dynamic canvas where silhouettes dance, narrating a mysterious story that invites reflection and imagination.

The design and production process of this masterpiece on wheels took place at Casa Antillón's studio, where the artists conceptualized a project full of symbolism to capture their style in the vehicle. With meticulousness and passion, they used several airbrushes to achieve a handcrafted finish that highlights the small details of the manufacturing and gives life to a piece that is as much a work of art as it is a functional vehicle.

According to the Casa Antillón collective, the silhouettes that adorn NX Art Madrid represent more than just shapes; they are the result of a creative journey, a path of figures and expressions that have evolved over the years. Now, this vehicle-turned-artwork will take this story to unexpected places, inviting each viewer to imagine their own narrative as they observe the movement represented in the silhouettes.

Lexus' participation in Art Madrid'24 marks the beginning of Lexus Art Month, a month dedicated to celebrating the connection between art, design and technology. It is an opportunity for the brand to demonstrate its commitment to artistic expression and to explore new forms of collaboration between the art world and the automotive industry.

NX Art Madrid is not only a showcase of Lexus' ability to combine luxury and technology in its vehicles, but also an example of the transformative power of art. It is an invitation to reflect on the intersection between aesthetics and functionality, beauty and engineering. And a celebration of the creative capacity of the human being.

During Art Madrid'24, visitors will have the opportunity to admire the NX Art Madrid up close and explore its unique design. In addition, those who wish to take this work of art on wheels will be able to purchase it during the fair, making it an exclusive and distinctive piece that transcends time and space.

This first collaboration between Lexus and Casa Antillón to present the NX Art Madrid at Art Madrid'24 is a testament to how art transcends any discipline and drives development and invention in all creative fields.

Art Madrid’25 presents the Gallery Program for its 20th edition

The Gallery Program of Art Madrid’25 is the main axis of the fair, serving as a meeting point where diverse voices of contemporary art converge. Comprised of a selection of established, mid-career, and emerging galleries, the program offers a representative vision of the latest artistic trends. Through experimentation and the exploration of new visual languages, participating artists present works that reflect the aesthetic codes and concerns of our time. Each edition, Art Madrid stands out for its curatorial approach, featuring a carefully curated selection of national and international galleries and artists, showcasing the pulse of the most innovative proposals that define the present and future of contemporary art.

In this 20th edition, Art Madrid becomes an essential meeting point for those who closely follow the work of galleries and artists. The Crystal Gallery will be filled with fresh and daring proposals from thirty-five galleries, both national and international, inviting us to rethink art in its purest form. What we will see is not just a display of the best of the moment, but a testament to how art continues to challenge conventions, evoke emotions, and push the boundaries of what is possible.

The exhibition proposals, varied in approaches and techniques, bring us closer to an art that is unafraid to experiment and encourages us to reflect on the world around us. Each work, more than just an aesthetic object, will be a provocation, an invitation to look beyond the obvious. Throughout the fair, it will be impossible not to feel how these creations leave their mark on contemporary culture while simultaneously finding their place within the complex framework of the art market, reaffirming Art Madrid as a key reference within the national art scene.

Parallel program: Sensitive Cartographies of the City Territory

The Parallel Program of Art Madrid'25 goes beyond the boundaries of the fair, proposing a dynamic connection between art and the city. Under the concept of Territory and City, this edition takes art to urban spaces, to the everyday corners that shape the memory and present of Madrid.

Highlighted activities include augmented reality and digital experiences, video creation, ephemeral installations, and urban interventions that engage directly with the city of Madrid. These actions expand the work of the artists into the urban environment, fostering an ongoing conversation between art and the territory. In this way, the city becomes a creative laboratory where the everyday and the artistic intertwine, opening new forms of connection between the community and art.

The program also explores the emotional and identity geographies that run through Madrid, inviting reflection on the meaning of belonging to a place and how artistic practices transform our relationship with space. Through the theme of Territory and City, the Parallel Program of Art Madrid'25 creates a map that connects the local with the global, the intimate with the collective, and opens a sensory experience that strengthens the ties between art, territory as an expanded concept, and the city as a container of sensitive realities.

The Parallel Program of Art Madrid'25 invites you to explore the intersections between art, public space, and community, transforming Madrid into a territory-city of creation and shared reflection.
