"Alberto GarcÃa-Alix: Tell Me Words Of
Love In Spanish" will open on the 18th
of April 2002 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and
will be on view from the 18th of April to

"Tell Me Words Of Love In Spanish" will
consist of Alberto GarcÃa-Alix's
intensely passionate, photographic
views of Madrid and the unique
personalities who have been inhabiting
the Spanish capital during and since
the post-Franco era, known as "La
Movida."
This exhibition of silver gelatin
prints from the late 1980's to the present
aims to examine the role of the artist as both
participant and creator of the
culture-at-large from its earliest stages on
the fringes of society to its evolved stages
within the mainstream.
"Tell Me Words Of Love In Spanish" will
include portraits of Rossy de Palma
(star of the films of Pedro Almodovar),
Johnny Thunders, and Martin
Kippenberger.
Alberto GarcÃa-Alix is the winner of the
1999 National Photography Prize of
Spain. Mr. GarcÃa-Alix is the foremost
photographer to emerge from Spain's
"La Movida," the post-Franco era of
free, and often flamboyant, individual
expression. A devotee of motorcycles and
tattoos and an aficionado of underground
art, Mr. GarcÃa-Alix is also a publisher of
poetry books and the cultural journal, El
Canto de la Tripulación.
Mr. GarcÃa-Alix's work has been
exhibited in Madrid, Barcelona,
Brussels, London, Manchester, Havana,
and Manila. In 1998, a survey exhibition
of his career to-date was presented at
El CÃrculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid
during the inaugural edition of,
PHotoEspaña, Madrid's annual
photography festival. Mr. GarcÃa-Alix's
work is in the collection of the Museo
Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia,
Madrid; the Museo Español de Arte
Contemporáneo, Madrid; the Banco
Caja de Burgos, Burgos; the Banesto
Bank, Madrid; Coca-Cola Spain, Madrid,
and other prominent institutions.
This will be Mr. GarcÃa-Alix's first
exhibition in North America.
Modern Culture At the Gershwin Hotel
is located at 3 East 27th Street
(between Fifth and Madison Avenues)
in the Madison Square District, on the
