From March 4th to 9th, in light of Art Week, Alzueta Gallery Madrid presents Marco. Límite y lugar (Frame. Limit and space), a capsule exhibition featuring works by Jordi Alcaraz, Aythamy Armas, Max Cobalto, Enrich R, Ivan Franco, Nuria Maria, Bruno Ollé, Maru Quiñonero, Guim Tió, Claudia Valsells and Maria Yelletisch.

For this exhibition, Miquel Alzueta, founder of the gallery, has selected and loaned eleven 16th- 17th- and 18th-century frames from his private collection, inviting each artist to illuminate one of these frames with their work. This process subverts the usual approach, where a frame is chosen to fit a piece; here, the artwork is instead created to adapt to the frame’s dimensions.

Beyond being mere ornamentation, the frame defines the boundary and space of the artwork, becoming a place that not only encloses but actively participates in the composition. The exhibition presents the works separate from their traditional frames, prompting viewers to reconsider the frame as an independent entity—one as significant as the painting itself in shaping the interpretation of the work within the exhibition space.
