CAN Art Fair and Ibiza's Art Scene: A Summer Dispatch
The fifth edition of CAN Art Fair closed on June 28, aiming to elevate Ibiza's cultural offerings. The fair featured booths by day and club nights, with highlights including a pop-up show by Ruttkowski;68 gallery at Can Arnau, a restored finca by late Swiss fashion photographer Rolf Bichsel, showcasing bronze sculptures by Stefan Strumbel and abstract works by Carolina Aguirre. Mexican conceptualist Stefan Brüggemann's studio compound, a contemporary art temple, attracted VIPs with its 'living sculpture' design including gold-leaf interiors and silver-leafed plants. Dutch artist Frits Achten exhibited wacky papier-mâché creations at Los Enamorados hotel. CAN curator Saša Bogjev described the art as 'cultural sprinkles,' requiring only light contemplation.
