Manuel Borja-Villel presented the Award for best Exhibition Project to Alberto de Juan, director of Max Estrella Gallery, for the show Val del Omar. From Gutenberg to Faraday.

«I am honored to have participated in bringing Val del Omar to his rightful place in Art History», pointed out Alberto de Juan during his acceptance speech. «I would also like to claim the importance of the galleries. We’ve all put a great deal of energy in not giving up, and launching new projects that sometimes end up not having the impact they deserve. We have to state that the gallery is the ideal place to discover artists’ research and proposals. In many cases, we are guided merely by intuition in the hope these projects may work since we are showing brand-new things».
