PROYECTO PARALELO was founded in 2012 when, after 15 years of living and working in Madrid, Issa M. Benitez decided to bring back to her hometown part of her experience publishing, curating and managing different artists and projects in Europe. The gallery’s main lines of work are linked to conceptual practices on different media and to contemporary art understood as a cross-generation endeavour. The gallery is interested in working close to the artists in the development of exhibition and presentation projects. Each show is conceived as a long-term dialogue process in which we aim to put the work in context and to offer a complex vision of the artist’s practice.
