Laura Mesa – MOBILES AND DRAWING

In Art, the visible (form) is what is really important, because it is the representation of an idea or an intention: the image of a mobile phone. Laura Mesa’s creative processes consist of the sustained repetition of an action that implies a constant and reiterated movement during the construction of the work, almost like a mantra, through which she draws the visible form in which her works crystallize, understood as thought turned into action, condensed action in the matter of drawing.

Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 10.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. and Saturdays, 10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m.

Playa del Reducto Beach in Arrecife, Lanzarote

The Playa del Reducto Beach, which is about 500 meters long, is located just south of the only high-rise building, the famous Grand Hotel, in Arrecife.

Although this beach is located in the middle of the capital, easy to reach by bus, easy to reach for handicapped people and with a shallow entrance and calm water is also suitable for children, it is rather visited and used rather little.

You can park either in the car park under the hotel or free on the parking lot, about 400 meters away, directly at the beach promenade near the Cabildo.

The visit of this beach, which is perfect for swimming, snorkeling or simply relaxing, is ideal after a shopping spree. There are beach chairs and umbrellas, showers.

On the right side of the Playa El Reducto there is a football field and a volleyball field for sports enthusiasts, as well as the posibility to book wind and paddle surfing courses.

People with walking disabilities are easy trasported with an amphibian vehicle of the Lifeguards to the water’s edge, so everyone can easy feel comfortable and relax at this beach.

Against hunger and thirst a nice selection of restaurants, bars and an ice cream shop awaits you very close with a view of the beach. Courses for water sports activities of all kinds can be booked in an adjacent sort shop.

The beach is cleaned daily and the trash can be emptied. This Playa del Reducto beach is very clean, so it was awarded the Blue Ribbon for cleanliness. Sometimes artists create imposing works of art from sand.

Important

Easy to reach by bus, well suitable for children, visited and used only little by tourists.
Perfect for swimming, snorkeling or simply relaxing after a shopping day in the city.

César Manrique is Lanzarote, Lanzarote is César Manrique

This sentence is the beginning of the text about César Manrique in the Müller‘s tourist guide about Lanzarote – and if you are on the island, you will quickly notice how correct this is…

Life

There are only a few others that shaped the island of Lanzarote as much as the artist César Manrique. Manrique was, among other things, committed to continue the development of Lanzarote in the traditional style and to abstain from buildings that are higher than an adult palm.This measure has largely kept away the mass tourism from Lanzarote and Lanzarote was not plastered with hotels.

César Manrique was born on 24 April 1919 in Arrecife, Lanzarote. He went to school in Lanzarote and graduated to a civil engineer degree at the University of La Laguna in Tenerife. In 1945 he attended the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, where he earned champion for drawing and painting in 1950. In 1964, Manrique was awarded a scholarship from the International Institute of Art Education for the study of American art in the United States. But in 1968 he returned to Lanzarote and as an old family friend, Pepin Ramirez, was president of the island’s government, Manrique’s ideas had an influential supporter and Manrique was able to convert most of his proposals.

On 25th of September 1992 César Manrique was killed in a traffic accident close to his fundación in Tahiche.

Manrique’s traces can be discovered in many streets and squares of the island
– especially in the roundabouts you come across his sculptures and wind chimes again and again.

1991 – Mirador del Palmarejo, Valle Gran Rey, La Gomera
1992 – Playa Jardin, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife

The former home of César Manrique in Haría was opened as a museum in 2013.

Important

Since most works of Manrique are large visitor attractions, it is advisable -in case you travel alone- to visit these in the afternoon, as the large tour groups have usually already been gone.

If you plan to visit several properties of Manrique, it is advisable to buy tickets for 4 to 6 visits which are offered by the Centro de Arte, Cultura y Turismo. You can buy them at every sight at the cash desks.

Castillo „San José“, Museo Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo in Arrecife, Lanzarote

This small picturesque castle is situated above the port of Puerto de los Mármoles in Arrecife. Prompted by the Spanish King Carlos III, it was built between 1776 and 1779 and only served to provide work to the local builders – not for the purpose of defence. Therefore, it obtained the name Fortaleza del Hambre (Hunger Fort). In the beginning of the 70s, the restoration of the castle was induced by César Manrique and a museum was rebuild. He also built a classy restaurant in the castle with a great view over the harbor and the sea. In the Museo Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo many Spanish works of modern art can be found – some of Manrique.

Important

Photos inside the museum are allowed but just without flash to avoid damages at the art works.

There are some outlets on the island but the most interesting for holidaymakers is in Tias.
