→  About Us

Planta1 is one of the lines of work of the massive aesthetic association, a non-profit organization created in 2016.

It consists of an exhibition space where an independent curatorial project is developed that arises from the questioning of the current status or system of contemporary art. We believe on the opening and revitalization of artistic discourses, generating perceptive experiences of a very diverse nature, coming beyond the traditional fine arts, visual or plastic arts, placing special emphasis on those projects that are distinguished by their uniqueness and on that artists, managers and curators take a special interest in research, experimentation and innovation, with the aim of breaking down the current borders between the artistic categories and getting closer to a much more open, transversal and less elitist concept of “art”, that encourages the individual to consume cultural goods and to make them feel the need to live aesthetically.

National and international artists have passed and will pass through its exhibition space who are close in their approaches to what is suggested by the organization. Our primary purpose is the dissemination and collaboration in the production of exhibitions and the generation of proposals to approach contemporary art, leaving the commercialization of his works to the artists' agents (art galleries, representatives) or to the artist himself.
