Espacio Fundación Telefónica, located in the emblematic Telefónica building on Madrid's Gran Vía, was inaugurated in May 2012 and, on 6,000 m2 and four floors, offers an open, varied and plural programme. It encourages reflection and debate for all kinds of audiences on the trends associated with the digitalisation of all aspects of life, from a solid humanist perspective.

Through exhibitions, debate forums, workshops and free publications, meeting spaces are created to share ideas, learn, reflect, inspire and experience the value of technology at the service of people and its potential for positive impact on society.
Exhibition 'Gazes that communicate’
Until 12 January 2025
GO TO THE SITE
The exhibition invites five Spanish creators to reinterpret Telefónica's enormous technological and historical legacy, made up of more than 85,000 pieces. The result are newly created artistic installations, approached from the different disciplines and approaches of their authors, which enhance and give new meaning to these funds. In addition, there is a sixth piece created in the 1970s, which connects us with the telephone as an instrument of human communication.
The theatre company La Fura dels Baus, the visual artist Daniel Canogar, the experimental sound collective Cabosanroque, the filmmaker Nuria Giménez, the multidisciplinary artist Eugènia Balcells and the conceptual artist Isidoro Valcárcel Medina make up this renowned creative cast.
Exhibition 'Windows to the future'
Until 8 September 2024.
GO TO THE SITE
Windows to the Future' is an exhibition of six large-scale audiovisual installations that invite us to imagine scenarios of futures far removed from the more conventional stereotypes of science fiction from an optimistic and inspiring perspective. The artists and creators GMUNK, Inferstudio, Paul Trillo, Boldtron, *fuse, Lifeforms, using images entirely generated by computer (CGI) or Artificial Intelligence, promote a dialogue between our present reality and those that could happen in the coming decades.
