Sudiczki in the Palace

In that same spirit, the Sudiczki appeared in Madrid — modestly placed on the floor, tucked into the corners of the room, without pedestals or spotlights. Perhaps invisible at first glance, yet stubborn in their presence. Paradoxically, this half-visibility made them resonate more strongly: like a whisper able to cut through chatter, live guitars, and the shuffle of waiters carrying trays of tapas — and still survive it all in one piece.

Right beside them exhibited Mariko Kumon, a Japanese artist based in Barcelona. Her wire sculptures looked like lines of thought — light, shimmering, vibrating. The collision of fired clay and carefully bent metal created a quiet dialogue: Sudiczki were the weight of earth, while Kumon’s works were air and movement. Two completely different energies that, by chance, fit together like mismatched puzzle pieces.

All of this unfolded in a space that was itself a paradox: the elegance of a historic neoclassical villa set against the temporary fair booths and improvised corners. Within this mixture, the Sudiczki found their first “palatial” place in Madrid. Not on a pedestal, not in the spotlight, but in the corners, next to wire, in a space of contrasts. And it was there they learned that presence does not always require center stage.

We are truly grateful to Espacio Triple for inviting us to take part in this event.
