The weather in Madrid was nice and mild, perfect to receive all the representatives from the art world at large gathered around the International Contemporary Art Fair ARCO.
Our community was also there. The moment had come to decide who would receive the 20,000.00 and 10,000.00 Euros for the best internet-related art and research project. The winner of the ARANEUM prize, organized by the Spanish ministry of Science and Technology in collaboration with the ARCO foundation, coordinated by LaAgencia, was about to be revealed.
Rachel arrived on Thursday morning. In the afternoon, Vicente picked up Olia from the airport and drove her straight to the ARCO offices. Rachel, Jose Luis Brea and Juan Manuel Bonet (director of the National Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid) were already there. Rachel and Olia did a wonderful job adapting themselves immediately to the Spanish schedule: a meeting that starts at 7pm
