Fachico and De la Peña, modern convergences

'Fachico and De la Peña, modern convergences' is the title of the exhibition organized by the Vice President for Culture, Sports and Social Activation of the Campuses of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria —with the collaboration of the FEDAC of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and Axioma Artistic Mediation Laboratory—; which was exhibited at the ULPGC Art Gallery between last May and June. The College of Architects of Gran Canaria —co-sponsor of the activity together with the School of Architecture of the ULPGC—, brings a part of the exhibition to Architecture Week, which commemorates the centenary of the birth of the architect Manuel de la Grief. In the exhibition, curated by Gemma Medina —speaker of the 08SA— and Odesa Campos, the relationship between the work of the photographer Francisco Rojas 'Fachico' and Manuel de la Peña, figures of singular relevance in the History of Art of the Canary Islands in the second half of the 20th century. Their collaboration drew the transformation of the south of Gran Canaria in the midst of a tourist boom.
