Displayed together for the first time in the United States, over sixty-five works by fifteen Spanish photographers—each a recipient of the Ministry of Culture’s esteemed Spanish National Photography Prize—illuminate the evolution of Spanish photographic art, captured through the lenses of some of the nation’s most respected artists. The exhibition opens November 19th, 2010 and runs through January 11, 2011 at Aperture Gallery in New York’s Chelsea art district.

Thank you so much, this was a good read. I was actually born in Spain ( not telling when though!) but moved around various parts of europe and lastly settled in Britain when I was a teenager. I dont remember much of the few years I was in spain, but the smell of spanish food always seems to ring a bell in me or something. It’s weird how I dont remember anything except the smells,isn’t it! I actually found a whole website dedicated to spanish recipes, which gave me great delight and thought I really should to share. Anyway, thank you again. I’ll get my husband to add your feed to my rss app…
