The unique space of the Sala Canal de Isabel II is located in the neighborhood of Ríos Rosas, in an old water reservoir that was built between 1907 and 1911 by the engineer Diego Martín Montalvo and the architect Ramón de Aguinaga. It is a monumental work of industrial character, with a circular floor plan, an exterior brick structure, sloping buttresses and a lowered metal roof. The building was restored in 1986 by the architects Javier Alau and Antonio Lopera, and fitted out as an exhibition hall.
sala exposiciones canal
La Sala Canal Isabel II del metro Rios Rosas en Madrid es un gran ejemplo de un espacio reutilizado con imaginación. Esta hermosa torre de agua se construyó para hacer frente a la escasa presión del agua en este barrio. Las mejoras en ingeniería y fontanería la hicieron innecesaria, así que ¿qué hacer con una torre tan bonita y abovedada?
Convertirla en un espacio de galerías superguay, que es lo que hicieron en 1986; un espacio destinado específicamente a la fotografía contemporánea y a las exposiciones audiovisuales. Es perfecto: si se recorre este hermoso espacio distribuido en cuatro niveles, de alguna manera tiene sentido. Hay un pequeño ascensor, si sus piernas no están para las escaleras, aunque tendrá que subir a la cúpula por sus propios medios. Esta parte del edificio se ha convertido en un pequeño auditorio, donde se proyectan películas.
¿Necesita algo más para convencerse? Bueno, casi siempre está vacío y es gratis. Además, es agradable y fresco en verano. Entré en un día de calor sofocante a finales de junio y no vi a nadie más que a una pareja de mediana edad que se besaba en un rincón… Es un lugar ideal para una cita… También es muy hermético; cuando salí ese día me pareció un Madrid ligeramente alterado del que había dejado al entrar. Entra, seguro que te gustará tanto como a mí.

He is also one of the most present photographers on the Internet, especially in videos (youtube and RTVE) where he talks about his work as well as the work of other artists because he is also an exhibition curator:
And now what can I say about the exhibition? Well, there are photos that I like by themselves and others not so much because they need an explanation to understand them (they are part of a story of which it is necessary to read the plot).
And what can I say about Fontcuberta: See him whenever you can but, above all, read or listen to everything he says about photography, I think, in my opinion, that he is the person who best explains photography today. And so we learn to see and understand both his work and the work of others.
