If you pull on the thread of your CV, Alicia Gutiérrez Marble is not at all a newcomer to the field of cultural management and contemporary art. Best known for having been director of Calleja Studio for eight years, the … Málaga was previously exhibition coordinator for almost five years at CACMálaga and was associated with festivals such as the Andalusian City Film Festival or MaF.
But, sometimes, there are steps in other directions, and projects emerge, for those responsible, even more exciting if possible. This is the case of Mármol&Fa, the most personal case in which Alicia is involved, which is nourished by the fruitful experience developed by this manager over these years and the good friendships and contacts that her good work has created.
Your new signature takes care of artists and collectors, offering small editions of works of art with leading creators in which each proposal is cared for as if it were unique, with an emphasis on craftsmanship, human and creative.
So that you can understand it, an example is its first release less than a month ago: a work between sculptural and pictorial by Julio Anaya, a young creator of great international renown accustomed to “rereading” the classics of the history of art, who uses here one of the portraits of Dora Maar made by Picasso. Sixty copies, between the trompe-l’oeil and the original, for a price lower than what they would spend on a very smart phone.
Everything remains in Malaga, but the company is already thinking about the future, in a big way, with collaborations that go beyond borders: from the Filipino Marion Peck, to the Americans Chris Johanson and Ryan Schneider. And then Javi Calleja, Sergio Mora, Vanessa Morata will arrive… And without stopping dreaming, a own space on Paseo de Reding (Fa41). As you can see, (the) marble can be warmer – and more generous – than it appears.
