About

Albarrán Bourdais is an art gallery representing over 20 renowned contemporary artists, which organises ambitious exhibitions in its sensitively-restored locations in Madrid and Menorca, as well as with the open-air Solo Sculpture Trail. With the objective of providing artists with the best opportunities to experiment and present their work, the gallery develops immersive exhibitions and distinguished cultural programmes that go beyond the traditional confines of the white cube.

Albarrán Bourdais was founded by Eva Albarrán and Christian Bourdais in Madrid in 2018, as a natural continuation of their two decades of work with key figures in the art and architectural fields through Paris-based art production agency Eva Albarrán & Co, which specialises in cultural engineering and public art, and the architectural development Solo Houses.

Since its first exhibition, a group presentation by artists such as Bertrand Lavier, Christian Boltanski, Carlos Amorales and Dominique González-Foerster, the gallery has continued to work with artists mostly from France, Spain and Latin American countries. A reflection of its founders’ background, the gallery’s programme aims to strengthen links across these regions.

Albarrán Bourdais’ headquarters are located in a historical workshop across two floors in central Madrid, and its gallery in Menorca, is found in a stately home located in front of Mahón’s opera theatre. Besides its two permanent locations, Solo Sculpture Trail features outdoor installations and new commissions by artists such as Héctor Zamora, Claudia Comte and Pedro Cabrita Reis, in dialogue with the monumental landscape of Solo Houses in Matarraña.

With Solo Houses, Albarrán Bourdais has developed a stimulating destination for architecture and art enthusiasts, embedded in a spectacular natural setting. Besides the sculpture trail, the ongoing development of Solo Houses is currently comprised of two avant-garde holiday homes and winery Venta d’Aubert.
