10 Things I Hate About You ft. Martin Mayorga
Martín Mayorga is an independent curator from Madrid with Kichwa ancestry. When he’s not curating shows—like Alba Galocha’s recent solo in Madrid—you’ll find him supporting Real Madrid, being photographed by Martin Parr, partying with Christian Hosoi, or snapping hundreds of digi-cam photos of just about everyone around him. He shed his one and only art-induced tear at the Michel Majerus retrospective at ICA Miami, and has been a proud member of the KISS Army since the age of 10, thanks to his mum. Martín is also incredibly fun to be around, with an energy that’s as contagious as his love for fashion and art, which, if you follow him on socials, you’ll know is saying something.
