2025 Edition
The 2025 edition of By Invitation was structured around the concept “Lines of Time”, a reflection on how art connects generations, geographies, and imaginaries. This narrative materialised in the installation Layers of Time by Brazilian artist based in Barcelona Pedro Torres, created specifically for the modernist palace of the Círculo Ecuestre.
Sections, Galleries and Artists
PALACETE
13 projects
The Palacete section fosters critical intergenerational dialogues between emerging, established, and historical artists, encompassing experimental, conceptual, sculptural-installative, documentary, and pictorial practices, with a distinctly institutional, critical, and curatorial approach.
VERTIGO
6 projects
The youngest and most vibrant section of the salon, Vértigo brings together fresh, urban, and accessible pictorial and sculptural proposals. Conceived as the most irreverent space within By Invitation, it embraces the energy of the new and an emotional dimension that strongly resonates with private collectors.
