The multidisciplinary artist Ivan Forcadell (Alcanar, 1993) champions the persistence and discipline of the countryside as a creative driving force. Between tradition and irony, Forcadell rescues objects and memories from the rural world to give them a new aesthetic life and reveal a universe of their own. His latest exhibition, No title, can be visited from September 18 at the SELTZ gallery in Barcelona.

The company that made Galician folk art fashionable closed one of its factories this Thursday, amid uncertainty about its future. A few days ago, the legendary Sargadelos ceramics factory received a notice from the Labor Inspectorate resulting in a "significant financial fine" for 36 sanctioning reasons for negligence or incorrect manufacturing procedures. The owner of the Galician company, Segismundo García, known for his stoicism and for having managed to refloat the company when it was completely bankrupt, responded by announcing the closure of one of its two factories, the most historic one, located in Cervo, Lugo, without clarifying that it will close the second one, in the town of Sada.
