Can – Contemporary art now completes the fourth version in Ibisa
Known for its long -term pulsed rhythm and azure water, Ibisa has offered a different type of immersion in recent years: Can – Contemporary Arts Now. From 25 June to 29th, from 2025, the island hosted the fourth edition of the fair, where contemporary arts were slowed at the Mediterranean Sea. Curated by Saša Bogojev and held in FECOEV Fairground beyond the walls of the old city, did Ibisa 2025 bring together a tightly edited selection of international and children’s galleries together, painting, spreading, spreading, spreading, statue, ClothingAnd Installation,
Conducted by the team behind the UVNT Art Fair in Madrid, its own location in the global art calendar can be engraved. The view is more lustful than the larger fairs that dominate the scene, it lends itself for a slow view and close interactions, a tone that silently fulfills the rhythm. But cannot stay in the fair ground. Visitors are invited to detect the island, where site-specific functions appear in unexpected settings: a restored fishing hut, an ineligible water irrigation system, and other re-reconciliation places that resulting in the developed cultural landscape of Ibisa.

A curated canvas: from painting to public art
This year’s version Can – Contemporary Arts Now The painting continued to focus on the painting, offering a broad spectrum of styles from sharp -edged realism to loose figs and abstract gestures. While the painting remained central, the fair subtle expanded its scope, introduced the works in textiles, ceramic, sculpture and installation. These material explorations added depth and tact, reflecting the process, texture and increasing interest in form. The subjects of the booths, nature, harmony and human figure emerged as a calm undercontinent.
Meanwhile, a new addition to 2025, the can design section began a curated selection of Ibisa and beyond the collective design galleries. Reducing fine arts and functional aesthetics, this chapter gently widened the fair’s lens, which strengthened its relationship with the island’s creative ecosystem.

Beyond booths
Cain’s presence expanded well beyond the grounds of the fair, weaving in the island’s cultural clothes through his off program and can take local initiatives. Now in its third year, the off program converted historical sites into exhibition sites: a lighthouse in St. Antony hosted paintings by Alba Suu and Adria Meerdomo; Joan Canlease displayed Santa Iulia Des Ru Air Red Shelter; And Andran Martinez showed work in Punta Des Molie, Ek Restoration Mill. These off-site activities offered a slow, location-specific way to face art, which is based in the island’s texture.
Together, there can be a parallel program of exhibitions organized by local galleries and institutions, which is part of the expansion of Ibisa Arts Week. In La Nev Salinas, Spencer Lewis and Pedro Pedro were depicted in a two-person show, Mess (Museu de’Art Contempreni D’Avisa) worked by Mikel Barsello and Ramon Anrich, and with Franco Monty Monkey Monthi by Estoody Tour Costa Painting Errvin Bettold. Site-specific projects have another layer pair: Edith Deccand Transformed Can Garrita, a pre-fishing hut, which has a multimedia installation, referring to the ecological changes of the island; While Leena M. The sculpture work of Emeric captured Safa, a disorganized water irrigation system. Together, these projects discovered new intersections amid contemporary practice and developed cultural landscape of Ibisa.
As Sergio Sancho, the founding director of Can Ibisa, shared, is to submit the purpose of Fair ‘Avant-Guarde Visual Art Scene Best,’ Looking for ‘Mixing culture, business and bliss.’ This approach combined with the curatorial vision of the SAšA Bogzev, which preferences a tight selection of galleries and promotes more ‘comfort’ environment, can shape in an experience where meaningful connection – both artistic and personal – can grow.
