Sugrue: Digital Life in Madrid
Madrid is pretty close to being the center of Spain, physically speaking, and certainly feels like it in many other ways. It is the capital of the country, and the largest city, and some will say it feels like the center of the universe. It has been the center of many fascinating historical moments, and has been a creative capital for many generations. Today it is one of the world’s great financial hubs, and there is a tremendous creative output from the people who live here. There is a constant sense of things happening , with an infectious energy that is very appealing to travelers from all walks of life. The Madrid best hotels are those that can offer that perfect combination of classical sensibility with contemporary taste.
It’s very difficult to avoid good taste and splendid style anywhere in Spain, being one of the most fantastically cultured places in the world, and Madrid again rises up as a center for gracious sensibility, and is never shy to display its magnificent flair. Hotels and restaurants will showcase this sense of style, and it’s also visible in the local fashions. It seems to be a city designed to blur the boundaries between art and life, just as so many of its artists have done. One artist to watch in this regard is Chris Sugrue.
She works here and in New York, and her work is seen all over the world, in places like Portugal, Japan, Brazil, Austria and Turkey. Her works are fascinating interrogations into how human life and digital life intersect, and it’s a very fine line in these times. Her art projects have been all over the map, from solo shows to massive collaborations, and they are all equally marked with a spark of genius. The question of life and art has been asked for generations, and is always a concern of the avant-garde, and the technological focus of Sugrue‘s works puts this into a new direction for a whole new generation that is still in the process of defining itself.
