MONDO GALERIA, in collaboration with the United States Embassy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of Spain, presents Marilyn and Me and More: America and the 60s. As the first photography exhibition of Marilyn Monroe by Lawrence Schiller in Spain, the exhibition will include footage of Marilyn naked in the pool during the filming of the movie “Something’s Got to Give.”
From May 7th to July 15th, 2013, MONDO GALERIA presents Marilyn and Me and More: America and the 60s, a tour of the work of famous New York photographer Lawrence Schiller which illustrates the famous actress that was his focus at many points in his career.
Schiller is famous for taking the nude photographs of Marilyn Monroe in the pool during the filming of “Something’s got to give,” in 1960, a film that Marilyn was later dismissed from. Photographer Larry Schiller was one of the last people to see the actress alive. He visited her at her house on the morning of her death in order to approve photographs.
In the photographer’s own words, “Marilyn Monroe knew photography a little more than I did then. All the great photographers had photographed her. She was very professional. She knew what she wanted and how to appear in photographs. I knew how their expressions should be.” says the American photographer.
Schiller first portrayed Marilyn Monroe when he was 23, on the set of “Let’s Make Love” (1960). He returned to photograph her two years later in 1962. This was when he took the pool scene nudes of “Something’s got to give.” No one expected it, but suddenly she removed her bikini. According to Schiller, “Marilyn was every photographer’s dream with clothes on. Even more so without,” he says. He remembers that night, her eyes were bright and her skin glowed. Marilyn wanted to get the audience’s attention because she was jealous of Elizabeth Taylor, with whom the film studio had focused their attention while promoting the movie ‘Cleopatra.’

MONDO GALERÍA presenta en Madrid "La intimidad"el último proyecto de César Ordóñez. 
En MONDO GALERÍA buscamos generar un debate sobre el arte, la cultura y la sociedad a través de la fotografía. Es nuestra fuerza de empuje y lo que nos define.
Esperamos con ahínco las críticas, y los comentarios desafiantes. Esperamos que la cultura sea un diálogo más que un dictado, una propuesta más que una imposición.
Es por esto que para esta exposición "La Intimidad" de César Ordóñez nos pareció oportuno invitar al comisario y Director de Contenidos y Exposiciones de Gloria Transmedia José Reguera (que como el fotógrafo ha vivido en Japón) para contraponer dos visiones de una misma idea aplicadas a un mismo terreno.
De este ejercicio deriva el texto de introducción y la selección de fotografías que componen la exposición que inauguramos el día 13 de Marzo 2013 en nuestro espacio de Madrid y podrá verse hasta el 4 de Abril.

MONDO GALERIA presents “Forgotten Dreams,” Paco and Manolo’s first exhibition in Madrid.
The exhibition presents a collection of Polaroid’s accompanied by a careful selection of work from previous projects, as chosen by the curator. The exhibition is a tour of the collaboration between this duo of cult photographers, who have joined with Impossible Project for their final enterprise.
“Paco and Manolo” are Manolo and Paco, photographers from Barcelona, a pair whose photographs have been highly valued now for 15 years. They have photographed some of the most important figures in the world of music, art and culture. In many cases, their subjects are naked.
They make exquisite use of light and create impeccable, delicate and intimate staging.
It is possible that you know them by their magazine Kink or the monograph from the 10 years of Primavera Sound that was published in 2011. Both are enjoyable to the senses.

Alain Coiffier + Inés Montes
“Fronteras" (Frontiers)
Exhibition of photography and poems in prose / 24th March – 4th April 2014
Opens Saturday 29th March 2014 – 20:00
“Behind that forest, there is a fire
Where words that overwhelm the memory are heard.
Let me see that precise moment of love that
Hides inside the fire, let me see
Your face in this sinter sunset that
Ignites forbidden cities…”
MONDO GALERIA presents an exhibition featuring the photographs of Alain Coiffier and poems by Inés Montes.
This exquisite collaboration has been named “Fronteras” (Frontiers) and it is precisely these borders that disappear in this exhibition. We are invited to spread ourselves across two disciples in order to understand how one supports the other.
The visual poetry of Ines and the poetic imagery of Alain are united in a deep dialogue. Their voices are lost like still images in a cinematographic projection, to give way to another concept that flies over the pages of the book. This exhibition can be seen in MONDO GALERIA from 29th March to the 4th of April 2014.
