This is a project organized independently by artists and realized in the "house of the Grisa" that is in the Street Higueras Sabater # 6, in Sabiote 23410, Jaen, Spain. Organized by Isidro Blasco, with the help of Sarah Jay

After buying this house in the beautiful village of Sabiote, and before starting the reform, we have invited artists to intervene in the house. We have selected these artists for the potential we have seen in their work and the curiosity that awakens to see what they can do in this context. In this line, INTERVENTIONS 4 seeks to explore how the different architectural elements of this house can be interpreted and modified differently from what is accepted as normal.

This is the fourth project of its kind. Similar projects were held in Fishtown, Philadelphia in 2012; Hudson, New York in 2015 and Brooklyn, New York in 2016. For more information visit: Isidro Blasco

The inauguration was take place on July 15, 2017.
INTERVENTIONS 4 was open from Friday, July 14 to Sunday, July 16, 2017

Isidro Blasco

Isidro Blasco was born in Madrid in 1962. He moved to New York in 1996, where he lived until 2020. He currently maintains studios in both Madrid and New York. He is an artist whose work brings together photography, architecture, and sculpture with the aim of creating spaces that reproduce everyday life. His projects have been described as reminiscent of Cubist and Constructivist solutions.

He holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain, and is a PhD candidate at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid. He was selected as a sculptor by the Spanish Academy in Rome in 1990–1991. He received Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grants in 1998 and 2010, and a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in Visual Arts in 2000.

Isidro Blasco has exhibited extensively in the U.S. and Europe, as well as in Shanghai, Sydney, and Santiago de Chile. He has held solo exhibitions at P.S.1/MoMA in New York and the Queens Museum of Art. His work has also been shown at the Whitney Museum, Champion Branch, in New York; the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid in 2004; the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design in San José, Costa Rica; El Museo del Barrio in New York; the Sculpture Center in Queens, NY; and the Leubsdorf Art Gallery at Hunter College, New York. He participated in the 2012 Photography Biennial in Helsinki, Finland.

In 2022, he also exhibited at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, with a large-scale installation as part of the exhibition “Hyperreal. The Art of Trompe-l’oeil,” and he received a commission for the Manhattan Children's Museum in New York.
