Sala Rekalde

Ever since 1991, Sala Rekalde has served as prelude to the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum. It is probably the most complete gallery in the city in terms of location, facilities, safety, air conditioning, lighting, storage, access by public transport, spatial flexibility and activities. Sala Rekalde has more than 1000 square meters of space available, and it can hold any type of experimental contemporary art exhibit (normally visual arts), whether it be the work of international, Spanish or Basque artists. It is also the site for architectural, design and fashion exhibits. The window display provides you with a preview of what you'll find inside, while in the large lobby, they set up installation art, organise book presentations and talks, and there's a video room with capacity for 25 people. The Exhibition hall itself publishes a magazine, called "Rekarte", every two or three months dedicated to contemporary art and which is free inside, or you can have it delivered. The gallery also has its own publishing company, "Rekargi". Some of the exhibits organised in the past have included works by Chillida, Tapies, Rauschenberg, Warhol, Schnabel, Latin American artists, Portuguese art, Basque painters, Spanish art in the 80s and 90s, and a lot more.
