TRAVESÍA CUATRO is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2003 by Silvia Ortiz and Inés López-Quesada. They opened their first space in Travesía de San Mateo number 4, in Madrid. From the beginning, the gallery had an international vocation that began to deepen and strengthen the bond between the art scenes of Spain and Latin America. It progressively forged a close relationship with the Mexican scene, especially through contact with artists linked to the city of Guadalajara, and through the ZonaMaco fair in Mexico City. Ten years later, in 2013, the gallery opened its second space in Guadalajara, in the Casa Franco designed in 1929 by architect Luís Barragán. In 2019 the gallery opened a third location, in Mexico City. The presence in Mexico has become determinant for the development of new projects, some linked to historical artists who have become part of the gallery’s program.

During this time, TRAVESÍA CUATRO has reflected the diversity of discourses that exist between these contexts, facilitating a dialogue that has greatly enriched the national art scene. In 2020, the gallery created the Bajo el Sol project: a communication platform dedicated to the dissemination of voices coming from the Global South, whose work and lines of thought expose or vindicate social, ecological and cultural alternative models, with a contemporary and transversal approach.
