in his first solo exhibition in spain, artist petrit halilaj has transformed madrid’s palacio de cristal into a giant nest of massive flowers. the artist has connected the temporary installation with the city’s retiro park by opening windows, setting up structures, and placing feeding areas to attract the birds and other creatures inhabiting or passing through the park. ‘to a raven and the hurricanes which bring back smells of humans in love from unknown places’ is the first show inaugurated by the museo reina sofía since its closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which interrupted the montage of the exhibition.

Palacio de Cristal
The Palacio de Cristal ("Glass Palace") is a conservatory located in Madrid's Buen Retiro Park. It was built in 1887 on the occasion of the Exposition of the Philippines, held in the same year, then a Spanish colonial possession. The architect was Ricardo Velázquez Bosco.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parque_del_Buen_Retiro,_Madrid
The Palacio de Cristal, in the shape of a Greek cross, is made almost entirely of glass set in an iron framework on a brick base, which is decorated with ceramics. Its cupola makes the structure over 22 metres high. When it was erected, glass and iron construction on a large scale was already to be seen in Madrid at Delicias station (1880), the work of a French architect. However the curved architecture of the Palacio de Cristal is more comparable to the techniques pioneered by the British architects Joseph Paxton (who was responsible for London's Crystal Palace) and Decimus Burton (who was responsible for the Palm House at Kew Gardens).
The cast-iron frame was manufactured in Bilbao.[1] The structure was designed in a way that would allow it to be re-erected on another site (as happened to the equivalent building in London). However, the building has remained on the original site, next to a lake, and has been restored to its original appearance. It is no longer used as a greenhouse, and is currently used for art exhibits.[2]

La Rosaleda del Retiro un lugar muy típico y pintoresco de este precioso parque. Lástima del cielo :(
The Palacio de Cristal was built in 1887 by Ricardo Velázquez Bosco after the Crystal Palace in London. It was initially used to house exotic plants brought over from the Philippines, but is now mainly used for temporary exhibitions.
Foto tomada en el parque del retiro, junto al palacio de cristal, en noviembre de 2009, con el otoño en todo su esplendor.
Não me deixaram fotografar a Guernica de Picasso. Mas eu confesso que ver essa pintura foi um dos momentos mais extasiantes da minha vida!!
Fica o registro da minha passagem por lá nesta foto de um dos corredores. Quando voltar, tento fotografar a Guernica mais uma vez.
This photo was a BITCH to get exposed in a balance way..I'm an idiot for not taking more shots of it. Granted, there wasn't much more that could have been done anyway...

I love this. This tree, was amazing. It just randomly jetted out over the path, outside the rose garden.
