Art transcends eras, generations, forms, ideas, and places. It’s expansive and captivating. What if we could encapsulate it in a single day, in an unusual setting, and experience it right here in Madrid? It’s happening on November 13 in an abandoned Brutalist building.
It’s called ENEAS and brings together the leading figures of contemporary art—a hundred works across ten rooms—along with fine dining, cocktails, live music, and performances… FOMO is already coursing through our veins: if you’re not there, you won’t be able to visit it later. All of this is included in the tickets, which are already on sale starting at 225€.
What’s included with the different types of ENEAS Experience tickets
To call it a pop-up exhibition would be an understatement. To describe it simply as a silent auction would be, too. Because during this event there will also be gourmet food, cocktails, an artistic program, and performances—a treat for all attendees—music until closing time, but above all, space for conversation. Many conversations between cultural stakeholders and art lovers, in the presence of artists who are already recognized or are on the verge of becoming so. ENEAS Experience is the place to be part of the future of contemporary art.

A concrete spiral that can only be visited on November 13
Brutalist buildings have a way of leaving us speechless—they’re grand, sturdy, and, in a way, dystopian. This is one of the many that dot the Madrid landscape and one of the least well-known: 37,000 square meters of spiral-shaped concrete located on the outskirts of Torrejón de la Calzada.
The building was intended to be an Automotive Museum that never opened its doors. Designed by the Mansilla + Tuñón studio, it stands imposingly on the horizon today as you drive along the Madrid–Toledo Highway. And it will come back to life on November 13 in the name of contemporary art.
