About a hundred years ago, there was a specific shift in domestic architecture that reflected a broader change in the concept of privacy. In large mansions, such as the one that houses our gallery, the rooms were connected by doors, in the style of the 19th century. At that time, privacy was still confined to the family sphere, not the individual. By 1950, this was already unthinkable.

Almost a century later, this house has taken on a new life, where the interior doors have been removed and people once again move through the interior passages of a space that is both private and public at the same time. With works by Elena Tejada-Herrera, Javier Bravo de Rueda, Fernando Bryce, Elena Damiani, Ishmael Randall-Weeks, and Fátima Rodrigo, the Livia Benavides Gallery celebrates a new opportunity to foster dialogue within a community of artists whose richness lies both in their individuality and in the interior corridors that connect them.
