Canarias y Las Salinas - Jacobo Gª Germán (ed.)

Higueras, who passed away in 2008, has left multitude of memorable traces in Madrid, some of them as extraordinary as the Corona de Espinas (Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute) or the Housing in San Bernardo, apart from numerous single family homes and other cases of interest. All these works deserve specific revisions but due to their proximity, this exhibition is not about them but to bring to the present another facet of Higueras’ work that is less close, more exotic and distant as are the projects and works he developed in the Canary Islands throughout his career. An ensemble of works, many of them little known or presented here for the first time, whose choice complements the most urban and confined vision of the Madrid projects and reveals a parallel experimental laboratory.
