ART FAIR

From December 2 to 7, 2025, Vangar presented a solo show by artist Lluc Margrau at UNTITLED ART Miami Beach 2025.

The solo presentation explores the relationship between space, memory, and perception, central themes in the artist's work. Through a volumetric installation of stainless steel rods connecting the displayed pieces, Margrau integrates sculpture and drawing to evoke universal visual elements. The arch, presented in forms such as vaults, domes, and niches, is stripped of its structural function and reimagined as an abstract, universal symbol. This abstraction invites viewers to interpret and connect with the work on a personal and collective level, bridging memory, imagination, and shared human experience.

Lara Ordoñez's work El Consultor de Bordados n.º 567 is now part of the IVAM Collection.


Lara Ordoñez’s work El Consultor de Bordados n.º 567 is now part of the IVAM (Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno) Collection. The piece draws on the textile tradition, proposing a re-examination of it through the lens of the present day.

To create the work, the artist used linen thread more than half a century old, completing the spinning task begun by others. The weft is made of dry-felted Mallorcan wool, a material with its own story to tell. The embroidery, taken from a booklet of embroidery patterns from the last century, uses thread and needle to record and document time, treating them as another compositional element. Finally, the support contextualises an everyday object, making it relevant by using wood from an old bed frame to generate collective memory. Thus, the wool tells its story, and the hands become the tool to do so. It is a story linked to everyday life, to rural life and to humanity.


Lara Ordoñez and Sarah Viguer Cebriá participate in the exhibition A Media Lumbre at the IVAM.


Vangar artists Lara Ordóñez and Sarah Viguer Cebriá are participating in the A media lumbre exhibition, curated by Blanca de la Torre. The exhibition opened at the IVAM on 18 February and will be on view until 14 June 2026.

A media lumbre brings together works of art that, through contemporary artistic practices, open up spaces for materials that, until recently, have been relegated to subordinate categories. Through the pieces and their different materialities, we explore non-hegemonic knowledge associated with territories, such as crafts, trades and traditions linked to the land. It is a heritage lit by half-light, unfolding at the leisurely pace of shared gestures and legacies.

The exhibition features the works El Consultor de Bordados n.º 567 by Lara Ordóñez and Falleras-flor-tormenta by Sarah Viguer Cebriá. A media lumbre is part of a collaborative network project that begins at the IVAM and will continue at Casal Solleric, Es Baluard Museu, CDAN, and Museo Terra.
