Why deny it, although the batteries are recharged, the response time is still limited. The energy flows slowly. Postvacational syndrome? Maybe not and all are always prevacational syndromes: we count the months that are left for the next holidays or the days that are left for the next getaway. By adjusting the system a bit, redirecting the energy of the warp engine to the conventional engine, we have started up. The result, here you have it. In this new season that begins we hope to inform you as always of the events that help you complete your agenda, to discover exhibitions, concerts, film festivals and unforgettable experiences, many times without spending money.

Saul Leiter is considered one of the pioneers of color photography. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and, following the path of his father (renowned teacher of the Talmud) studied to become a Rabbi. It is difficult to know if it was the camera that his mother gave him when he was 12 years old, his early interest in painting or both, which led him, at the age of 23 years, to make the decision to leave school. theology and move to New York to become an artist. In this exhibition you can see 130 color and black and white photographs, around 30 street photographs, and a similar number of nudes and intimate portraits.
This exhibition tells a story that began a long time ago, when our ancestors made the first stone tools. Since then, humans have created machines of all kinds to perform previously unthinkable tasks, machines that surround us and that are even inside us. And now there is the possibility of creating an even more complex machine: an artificial human being.
