Laboratorio de Formas

“Everything was based on it. It was something noble. It was created to bring different ideas together and to recuperate our memory.”

“Sargadelos was created to reclaim the historical memory of Galicia through the Laboratorio de Formas, which was in charge of it.”

“We had to create an institution that could recover the renewal movement in Galician art.”

“It was Luis Seoane who gave the name to the publishing house, and he was also the one who initiated its activity with two albums of engravings: O Meco and El toro Júbilo.”

“In the 35 experiences created, there were over 2,000 participants in the projects, conferences and talks.”

“We quickly realised that we needed space in Castro for a commercial gallery to take all the material granted by Parga Pondal, and for a graphic arts company.”

“We need an institution that can centralise all the studies being done for the future of Galicia in a single crucible, mix them together and contemplate the results.”

“The purpose was to support information and communication of all kinds that served Galicia and just causes.”

“The galleries were not only elements that communicated the philosophy of the Group (...) they performed the function of helping the Group to finance itself commercially.”
