Coolest little art gallery I have ever been to! Can't wait to visit Madrid and return! The staff…read morewas so nice and provided me with so much information and answered all of my questions! The art was amazing especially if you like punk or rock and roll! I purchased a bunch of prints i can't wait to frame! The locations is very good and by a bunch of great shops, bars, and restaurants! Writing this review right now makes me miss Madrid! Can't wait to go back and specifically go here.

I brought my street photography group here for Magnum's "La Camara Indescreta" exposition (free)…read moreand everyone absolutely loved the space. As the storefront image shows, the art-space is housed within a great old water tower made of bricks with a steel skeleton. The viewer encounters expositions from bottom-to-top, reconnoitering a circuit at each level and scaling a black iron stair to the next. Little trapezoidal alcoves are cut into the outer wall, and it's in these little rooms the art hangs. The lighting is excellent, but fades into the immense center of the tower where the stair climbs. A bit of weirdness: as this space is situated inside the city's canal control complex, in a courtyard amidst their central offices. Viewers must go through a comparatively intense screening process to enter. You must provide your ID and then go through a metal detector, one by one. Kind of a pain, but security is security; it's definitely not so bad as an airport. As an art space, I give this place five stars. I've never seen a better use for a structure so old it could easily be derelict in other circumstances. It's RAD to explore an old brick-and-stone water tower. It's just cool, and a great idea that could stand as a precedent for other ailing unique structures around the city. TL;DR: Art spaces should be as creative as this. Very cool, worth the hassle at the door.
