Carlos Pe rez Siquier (Almeri a, 1930), sometimes regarded as "the Spanish Martin Parr," has been masterfully using colour since the 1970's to frame the south of Spain-specially his hometown Almeri a-and create chromatic lines and volumes to define his images.
This issue of La Fábrica's PHotoBolsillo series chronicles the work of award-winning Spanish documentary photographer Cristina de Middel (born 1975). De Middel is internationally known for The Afronauts, a self-published photobook that investigates the short-lived Zambian space program started in 1964.
The author was a businessman, photographer, patron of arts and first president of Fundacio Joan Miro in Barcelona. For over five decades his photographic output was prodigious and had close links with currents of the time. This book shows the photographer's output from 1922 to 1939, a period in which he produced innovative, pioneering work.
Since the mid-1940s, the sculptures and drawings of Andreu Alfaro (born 1929) have stood at the forefront of Spanish modernism. His Matador Artist's Portfolio consists of 17 geometric drawings derived from four series created during the 1980s and 90s, plus one gouache painting from the 1960s. They are reproduced on heavy card stock at 11.75 x 15.75 inches.
Cristobal Hara (b. 1946) is known both for early black-and-white photographs and, more recently, for color work. Here in more than 100 photographs, he documents rural Spain.
Barlow's final works in dialogue with Eduardo Chillida's house and museumThis publication documents the exhibition of the work of acclaimed British sculptor Phyllida Barlow (1944-2023) at the Chillida Leku Museum in Spain. Many of the works were created specifically for this space and in dialogue with those of Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida in the 17th-century Zabalaga farmhouse on the museum grounds. As El País reports, "While Chillida's sculptures represent all that is solid and stable, Barlow's work[s]-many of which are imposing structures-[are] marked by fragility and uncertainty. The large tower standing in the village center looks like an unstable skeleton, while other seemingly solid pieces are supported by hollow pedestals. The artworks culminate in their own indeterminacy, unabashedly displaying the scars of their creation."Barlow's works continually expand the limits of the sculptural medium, leading us on a journey that turns space into a theatrical stage on which the spectator and the objects are the protagonists.

This new volume in the PHotoBolsillo series features the work of Spanish photographer Chema Madoz (born 1958), best known for precise and luminous surreal still lifes in black and white. With wry humor, he creates visual jokes and puns: a spoon casts the shadow of a fork or a burnt match becomes a thermometer bulb.
An intergenerational and intercontinental conversation between the sculptures of two artists with vastly different influences and stylesThis exhibition catalog juxtaposes the work of contemporary Portuguese sculptor Rui Chafes (born 1966) with that of Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century, who was strongly influenced by Cubism and Surrealism.

Over 25 years of work from a trailblazing feminist installation artistPortuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos (born 1971) is known for her monumental installations, which incorporate everyday objects with irony and humor and interrogate the status of women, consumerist society and collective identity. This volume chronicles her creative output between 1996 and 2021, including outtakes from her sketchbooks.
"Before Mexican sculptor Damiâan Ortega (born 1967) rose to prominence in the contemporary art world, he was a political cartoonist. This transition was intuitive for Ortega, and his sculptures and installations maintain the piercing, satirical eye required of his former occupation. He is internationally admired for his sculptures that literally deconstruct and reconfigure commercial products such as Coke bottles or, in one of his most celebrated works, a Volkswagen Beetle. Ortega presents these vernacular objects in precise arrangements that cohere into witty representations of diagrams, faces, words and buildings. Many of these pieces, however, are suspended in the air; by virtue of the space between the objects, the resulting representations appear fragmented. This catalog, published alongside the exhibition at Centro Botâin, exclusively displays these suspended works."
