GUEST ROOM
 

Considering this site like a house, it has a guestroom that hosts, for undetermined period, creative communication brought up from different cultural areas, with no fixed criteria. Its purpose is to show some people's work found to be remarkable, enabling the visitor, eventually, to get in touch directly with the guest artist.
