The mayor of Santa Cruz of TenerifeJosé Manuel Bermúdez, and the president of the Autonomous Organization of CultureSantiago Díaz, plan to bring to the city a giant head of the Catalan sculptor Jaume Plensa to place it outside the “Adán Martín” Auditorium.

Jaume Plensa’s giant heads are present in cities such as Madrid, New York, Sweden, Nice, Montreal and Tokyo and bringing one of them to Santa Cruz de Tenerife would form part of the collection of sculptures in the street of the Autonomous Organization of Culture, the consistory specified in a statement on Wednesday.

This is an idea that emerged in the last meeting between the mayor and the Culture area, which will request a meeting with other administrations to seek financing.

This initiative arises on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the First Street Sculpture Exhibition in Santa Cruz and the 30th anniversary of the second, precisely after Jaume Plensa himself visited the city to change the location of his work ” Islands” from the Rambla de Santa Cruz to the García Sanabria park.

It was on that visit when the artist, after visiting several locations, mentioned that the Auditorio de Tenerife area was ideal for locating one of his giant heads, an initiative that the mayor of Santa Cruz, José Manuel Bermúdez, believes “is an opportunity for the city to have a work by this internationally recognized artist who, in addition to enriching our heritage, places us on a par with other large cities”.

For his part, the Councilor for Culture, Santiago Díaz, assures that “showing off one of the giant heads of Plensa would be an opportunity to become a place of reference for locals and visitors, since the works of this artist, which are in large Cities around the world, and that seem to emerge from the water, are of great cultural richness and international appeal”.

As a result of this approach, the Culture area of ​​the Santa Cruz City Council intends to meet with other public administrations to seek financing with which to acquire the work and incorporate it and thus enrich its heritage of the Exhibition of Sculptures in the Street.
