The exhibition ‘Cinema, paper and scissors’ illustrates a series of dioramas made with card and fine arts sheets of paper, the technique habitually used in the work of Fernando Mircala, a series of emblematic films from all times and places which stand out in some respect for their artistic conception. The work of Fernando Mircala – who used the pseudonym of Jack Mircala for many years – is meticulous, hugely detailed and of obviously poetic realism. Charmed by the most extravagant of imageries, his graphic work explores the inheritance of romanticism, fantasy and sci-fi movies, and the art of Europe’s 20th century avant-garde movements. His works combine disciplines such as design, architecture, illustration and scenography made from card, fine arts sheet of paper and craft-made, patterned sheet of paper, with which he makes models with volume like little stages or dioramas, and canvases with relief which take on the magical character of games, of the handcrafted, and of the dramatic.

Exhibition of Fernando Mircala's work Okendo Cultural Centre Avenida de Navarra 7 Until October 21

The fair is an exhibit of contemporary crafts offering different expressions of work with materials including wood, ceramic, textile, leather, glass and paper. All of the items on display have been designed and created by the artisan presenting them. The twenty-six artisans participating in this meeting have been selected by Lur Kolektiboa, giving priority to officially registered workshops in Gipuzkoa.

'The Music of Ramón Raquello and his Orchestra' is the first large scale solo exhibition by Eric Baudelaire in a public institution in Spain. Presenting work in media ranging from film to collage and print, and including a performative installation, the exhibition reflects the artist's deeply rooted interest in the convergence between reality and fiction, and in the frictions“ both perilous and fertile “which arise from the interaction between words and images. In both his films and the objects he makes, Eric Baudelaire's practice is traversed by a recurring question: What happens when the image is dissociated from the word?

Exhibition by Eric Baudelaire Tabakalera – International Centre for Contemporary Culture Plaza de las Cigarreras 1 Until Sunday, October 15. Tuesday-Thursday: 12:00-20:00. Friday: 12:00-21:00. Saturday: 10:00-21:00. Sunday: 10:00-20:00.

For the fifth year running, the luxury Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre collaborates with the Aladina Foundation, yet again backing the Foundation’s work of helping children with cancer. For 11 years, the Aladina Foundation has collaborated with the Serious Fun Children’s Network for children with serious illnesses founded by Paul Newman. Every summer the Foundation takes around 130 children with cancer for a magical week in Barretstown (Ireland). This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre wishes to support the foundation in a new initiative under which it gives 20 children the chance to enjoy a very special experience at the new Dynamo Camp, in Italy, with which Aladina has been collaborating since summer 2017. These camps offer the visiting sick children the opportunity of an unforgettable experience, helping them to recover their self-esteem and regain their strength in order to continue their fight against cancer; all with discreet but professional medical supervision. Thanks to the support given to the Aladina Foundation by Jaeger-LeCoultre, increasingly more Spanish children and adolescents with cancer can attend one of these camps every summer, completely free of charge. Like in previous years, Jaeger-LeCoultre wanted to have the vision and experience of an exceptional godmother to present this charitable project in the framework of the San Sebastian Festival. This time the initiative will benefit from the presence of María de León, for years an active collaborator with different charitable projects and with the Aladina Foundation. In August of last year, María de León travelled to the Dyno Camp as a volunteer to spend a few days with the children and obtain first-hand experience of a fascinating experience of solidarity. On September 23, Jaeger-LeCoultre will organise an informal meeting with the press at San Sebastián’s Maria Cristina Hotel. María de León will be present at the event to give us a first-hand report of her experience at the camp, as well as her impression of the project.

Nine women, with a past of gender violence, spend a weekend together in the countryside, far from their everyday lives.
