Madrid Travel Guide: La Casa Encendida - The 'Burning House'
This exciting new multidisciplinary centre in a large neo-Mudéjar building was conceived as a space for cultural interchange. Spread over four floors, the 'Burning House' is directed by José Guirao, former director of the Reina Sofía. It offers exhibitions principally by emerging artists working in all genres, but also features cutting-edge performance art and music (including short seasons of video artists) and activities for kids. The centre also includes a fair-trade shop, a library and classrooms for courses in, above all, IT and languages.
