A large calendar of artistic exhibitions and cultural events, a gastronomic pop-up and a growing commitment to the world of holistic and wellness will be the main hot points of this season in ME Ibiza.
The Ibiza photographer La Skimal retrospective, who covers 15 years of her artist’s work in the island, becomes the essential artistic appointment of this 2019 at the hotel.
ME Ibiza strengthens its relationship with contemporary art and culture along with its commitment to new creators and local talent.
the organizers said:” ME Ibiza, the luxury hotel of ME by Meliá brand located in Santa Eulalia del Río, reopens its doors in 2019 with significant new developments, especially in the cultural and artistic fields.
Highlighting the importance of art in the brand vision of ME by Meliá, the hotel has created a whole calendar of free access exhibitions, both for guests and for the general public, during the season. Among the samples, which will be exhibited at the hotel, highlights “Intuition: Ibiza through La Skimal”, which will open on June 14th.
The Skimal is the alter ego of the photographer Isabel Flores, internationally recognized by her genuine process of creation when it comes to capturing and redefining, with her look, the world and the culture that surrounds her at every moment. The artist proposes in this occasion, accompany her in her particular portrait of Ibiza over the past 15 years,from different prisms: the natural environment that saw her grow, the music and club culture, and the essence and idiosyncrasy of her own of the people as of the characters that inhabit the island.”
La Skimal said:”For me photographs are experiences, and I try to express myself with them with honesty, love and audacity. It’s my way of life, my way of interpreting and confronting the reality”
The exhibition, composed of a series of photographs distributed by different spaces of the hotel, shows us a sensitive radiography of Ibiza through the eyes of Isabel, starring internationally renowned figures and which in turn, works as an artistic biography of her different stages of creation.
The images intermingle the chronological and the random,the interactive and the sensitive, giving form to this project in which the spectator’s participation is fundamental to understand it as a whole. An invitation to divest oneself of looks and stereotypes, letting oneself being guided by intuition and the look from the camera connected to the heart, from La Skimal.
Similarly, the exhibition is a collection of “unique moments” curated by the artist. From the debut of the one still not famous, Lady Gaga in Eden in 2007, to an unknown Idris Elba debuting as a DJ in Pikes in 2014, to the mythical Space closings among others.
Isabel Flores project is also a multidimensional experience. Starting from the importance the musical universe has in Ibiza, Isabel proposes an audiovisual synergy with Musical Vision, – a technology applied to the blind -, taking her to the artistic field for the first time. Using their system, they have managed to convert their images into music. As result, the artist’s pieces can not only be seen, but some of them can also be heard.
