Espacio Bronzo Gallery to Host 'Menudencias VI' Group Exhibition in La Laguna
The Espacio Bronzo gallery in La Laguna concludes its season with Menudencias VI. La casa, an interdisciplinary exhibition featuring small-scale works from 33 artists and writers exploring the concept of home, running from July 17 to September 11.
The Espacio Bronzo gallery in La Laguna is closing its current exhibition season with a new group show titled Menudencias VI. La casa (Trifles VI. The House). The exhibition opens this Friday, July 17, at 8:00 p.m. at 19 Núñez de la Peña Street and will run until September 11.
This interdisciplinary project features 33 contributors, including 22 visual artists and 12 writers (one of whom works in both fields). The exhibition explores the home as both a symbolic and existential concept. To bring this theme to life, the gallery asked artists to create small-scale, three-dimensional works, ideally fitting within an imaginary 7x7x7 centimeter cube.
The visual artists featured are Atilio Doreste, Atri Galván, Cristina Temes, Dion Blake, Eilyn Amores, Evelina Martín, Fayna Martín, Felipe Hodgson, Gervasio Cabrera, Juan López Salvador, María Isabel, Mariángeles Fernández, Marina Rodríguez, Nela Ochoa, Pepa Alemán, Pilar Cotter, Pura Márquez, Raquel Plans, Simonetta Pisani, The Art Teacher, Tomás Rodríguez, and Ventura Alemán. The literary contributors are Ana I. Robles, Antonio Martín Piñero, Carmensa León, Cecilia Domínguez Luis, Elisa Anceaume, Ernesto Rodríguez Abad, Gregorio Sosa, Isabel Expósito, Roberto Toledo Palliser, Víctor J. Ruiz, Pepa Alemán, and Rosario Rodríguez Vidal.
The project is both nostalgic and purposeful. The gallery management explains that this annual event aims to keep the spirit of the historic Bajamar Miniature Biennial alive—a cultural landmark that once brought creators together. By using the word "trifle" instead of "miniature," the Bronzo team highlights their focus on sculpture and poetry as complementary art forms, moving beyond traditional two-dimensional work.
The theme of the home reflects a long-standing artistic tradition that views domestic space as an extension of the individual. With this season finale, the gallery hopes to enliven the summer cultural calendar—a time when it is usually closed—and establish an annual meeting point for exploring the complexities of daily life through diverse, small-scale works.
