Mondo Galería presents Ibicenco IX “Eternal”

MONDO GALERÍA presents Ibicenco IX “Eterno” as the ninth edition of its annual exhibition curated by Diego Alonso and Alexeja Pozzoni. This exhibition was born in 2015 as a tribute to an Ibizan way of being, behaving and thinking, which is not exclusive to the island of Ibiza, but which over time has transcended it to become an internationally recognized state of being. 

This year, under the motto “Eternal”, the curator’s proposal plays with memory, tradition and the presence of the past. To do this, they present an unpublished collection of original photographs of Ibiza from the 1940s that were found randomly in a dusty suitcase at the Madrid Rastro.

This exhibition over the years has taken place in different iconic spaces in Ibiza, to pay respect to Ibizan architecture and contrast it with contemporary art. The space chosen for this year’s installation is the old “Trull” (oil mill) of Balafia, as a courtesy of Can Quince, surrounded by the unique 13th century citadel with its defense towers and its strategic location in the center of the Island , a short distance from San Lorenzo. The Poblet de Balafia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
