Exactly one year ago we published one of those covers in Cultural ABC of which they still talk to us today: it was radiographing to the new generation of gallery owners, the most insultingly young. And on the payroll, Labibi Gallery, Palma. Restless space, the Bibi was born in full postpandymia in Mallorca but without the aim of having a physical space, but of looking for its artists the best possible destination to expose them. And this was how he dressed up with Aljoscha at the Palacio de Santoña in Madrid, or exposed the Pintora Marria Pratts in Brooklyn. However, over time, he assumed the need to have a fixed postal domicile so as not to go crazy to collectors and followers, and sought the island of where its promoters were originally. Today, a year after that cover, Marc Bibiloni and Miquel Campins signs a new chapter of his biography with the separation, each by his side, his architects. Campins merges with Fran Reus, and gives rise, also from the Balearic Islands, to the duo La Bibi+Reus, a gallery with two independent venues and programming. To this place of places, which we already saw work on hand at the Urvanity fair, we will return soon. Marc Bibiloni, on the other hand, proceeds to open today its own firm, which bears his name, in Madrid, in an old industrial ship in the Delicias neighborhood (Divino Vallés, 12). Until there he will take part of the payroll of creators with whom we already saw him work: Ela Fidalgo, which he also exposed in a similar place in the capital, Anna Nero, Manu García, or Michael Staniak, with which he makes the presentations in the new space (‘Between Here and Now’, until April 12). Congratulations, then, to the two former partners. Possibly a rapture is rarely so profitable to those who like art and risks in the discipline. And that Bibiloni and Campins know a lot.
