Curatorial context
Opening on October 14, 2025, "Las Ferias del Campo. Paisajes y arquitecturas modernas en la Casa de Campo" at Museo ICO reclaims the patrimonial value of the modern pavilions erected in Madrid's Casa de Campo between 1950 and 1975. Curated by architect José de Coca Leicher, the exhibition stems from extensive research, recovering the memory of over 50 pavilions that represent a significant testimony to Spanish societal evolution since the I Feria Nacional del Campo in 1950. The exhibition underscores the Casa de Campo as a crucial 'laboratory of architectures,' a space for experimentation for pioneers of modern Spanish architecture like Francisco de Asís Cabrero, Jaime Ruiz, Miguel Fisac, Alejandro de la Sota, José Antonio Corrales, and Ramón Vázquez Molezún. It also delves into the collaborative relationships between architects and artists during the 1950s and 60s.

The exhibition serves to champion these architectural works, some of which have been repurposed, while others have faded into obscurity or disappeared.
