🔅Closing date for applications: February 8, 2025

C-Factoría
Calle Pedro Díez, 25, Carabanchel, Madrid

We are excited to inaugurate C-Factoría, a new space for artistic residencies designed by Vega Ortiz in the district of Carabanchel joining CIRAT's already consolidated initiatives -such as Mujer Rayo, Fonte Madrid and Cirat Los Invernaderos- , expanding the project to foster artistic creation and interdisciplinary exchange.

This program is aimed at visual artists looking for a workshop to produce in Madrid, offering an environment that promotes dialogue between disciplines and professional development. The program focuses on material, technical and processual research applied to disciplines such as painting, sculpture, installation or textile art. This project also marks the beginning of the collaboration between CIRAT and Pradiauto, consolidating a place dedicated to contemporary creation in the city.

Pradiauto will be in charge of the artistic direction and monitoring of the projects, ensuring a close curatorial accompaniment that enhances the development of the selected practices.


C-Factoría will try to promote opportunities to exhibit in Madrid and the connection with a network of active professionals in the cultural industry. The space is conceived as a laboratory, a dynamizer, but also as a base for a community where we can work together to think and channel critical, lucid and energetic visions about society through art.

✨On Saturday, January 25, 2025 we will present the complete bases of the call, the team behind the project and the space that will host this new program. In addition, we will enjoy a concert by La Historia.

13 parábolas

Empezamos el 2025 con la exposición "13 Parábolas". Inaugurado en diciembre de 2024, el proyecto es una extensión natural del libro homónimo presentado por la editorial Müller 42 en el espacio. Al mostrar los collages originales que vertebran esta publicación, la muestra ofrece la oportunidad de acercarse de manera más directa a la producción artística de Sean Mackaoui, explorando su meticuloso proceso creativo y la profunda conexión entre imagen y narrativa.

"13 Parábolas" reúne los collages de Sean Mackaoui con los textos de Carlos Risco y Alex Butterworth. El proyecto celebra las posibilidades del arte analógico y su diálogo con la literatura.

Sean Mackaoui
El arte siempre es una búsqueda, un viaje y una aventura. Pero también un juego. Sean Mackaoui, mago del collage y artista de espíritu burlón, se sirve de sus clásicos recortes para componer nuevas ensoñaciones: escenas majestuosas, a veces fantasmales, a veces humorísticas, siempre inquietantes y siempre bellas.
