NAILS AND TACKS

“This year the biological cycle of the group begins with the chrysalis. Each workshop will focus on how we are developing from inside out or vice versa, exploring our resources as we discover them, inhabiting new places and getting ready to make—or already taking—the preliminary leap to our metamorphosis, our flight.

Phase 1: Observation
Phase 2: Experimentation and play
Phase 3: Creation
Phase 4: Breaking everything

Come and join us as we wait, or not, our way.

‘Nails and tacks’ is an activity for young people between ages 13 and 21 who want to discover new practices related to self-publishing and contemporary creation. On Fridays and weekends, we’ll run workshops and meet with artists, exploring our personal universes and searching for new ways of looking at everyday life through art. You can sign up for individual sessions or the whole series. All the sessions will be different.”

Quiosco Clandestino is a collective formed by Angie de la Lama and Leo D’Elio that emerged in 2020 at the height of the pandemic out of a reflection on the cultural circuits to which they both belonged. Its mission is to support artists and people interested in artistic creation while pursuing its own projects associated with self-publishing.

Angie de la Lama specialises in comics, illustration and low-budget film-making. She is also active in the field of cultural management, having created Skisomic Fest, the first fanzine festival in Seville, and film festivals like Euforia and Intima, held in Madrid. She combines her work as an artist and cultural manager with the development of educational projects for different institutions.

Leo D’Elio is an artist and cultural manager from Madrid. Using practices related to self-publishing, such as fanzines, comics and sound experimentation, his work revolves around the personal, everyday life and public space. He is a staunch defender of amateurism and doing things “badly”. He spent his formative years with the Museo CA2M “sub21” youth group and “Duchamp & Sons” of the Whitechapel Gallery in London before creating Quiosco Clandestino and Yina + Eol with Angie in 2020.
