Open-air museum

Anna Ellis

UNTIL July 24 Alicante’s business area is an open­air museum with an exhibition entitled Other Worlds: A Journey through the Solar System.

The exhibition offers a scientific and artistic tour of the planetary system through 40 large­format photographs, selected and processed by the North American filmmaker and writer Michael Benson.

The councillor for Cultura, Nayma Beldjilali, confirmed:

“With each of the works, the spectator enters an incredible and unreachable world for the vast majority of people.

“The exhibition makes it possible to travel through the planetary system in a simulated way and this is thanks to the work of the La Caixa Foundation, with its Art in the Street programme.”

The councillor added: “This exhibition is a must­see because you will be able to en­ joy a different kind of exhibition. Not only because of the space where it takes place but also because of the interesting subject matter, which is new to Alicante.”

The Art in the Street programme began in 2006, and since then has brought to the public the creations of modern references such as Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore and the Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Salgado, among others.
