The underground of Madrid is undergoing an extraordinary transformation in some of its stations. The name given is Linea Zero. In Estate One we like our cities to be alive and that a
passer-by may stop for a moment and look at the exciting new sights the city offers. This is what has been happening for some months in the underground of Madrid, thanks to the project Linea Zero which includes artists of all kinds. We are in favour of promoting cultural proposals in restored places. In this blog we have already mentioned Sala Canal de Isabel II. In addition, we have also talked about Matadero de Legazpi. However, today we will not refer to a permanent renovation, but to a temporary one. This is what is taking place in the underground of Madrid in Linea Zero.

CULTURE IN THE SUBURBAN TRAIN IN MADRID

Urban art is, from our point of view, one of the most interesting cultural phenomena that have arisen in the great cities.

Thousands of artists throughout the world put their personal mark in the streets of the cities.

Through the organisation called Madrid Street Art Project, many artists show different ways of expressing art in Linea Zero in the underground of Madrid. In the station of Moncloa and of Paco de Lucía, we can find not only carriages but thousands of people and art, such as Rosh 33, Okuda and La Banda del Rotu.

This spring, the station called Paco de Lucía will be inaugurated. Rosh 33 and Okuda have painted a spectacular mural dedicated to the renowned guitar player. In the station of Moncloa, the felt pen drawings carried out by La Banda del Rotu, will not be there permanently.

PARTICIPATIVE INTERVENTION

Galería Magdalena offer in Linea Zero small artistic presents to everybody who is in the stations of Embajadores, Villaverde, Legazpi, Argüelles and Lavapiés.

This is indeed a remarkable gift to the travellers, making their trip very exciting.

AN INTERESTING FACT

The project of Linea Zero is supported by the Comunidad de Madrid and therefore, it has collaborated in this non-profit-making organization called Madrid Street Art Project. In these videos you can view some of them.
