The Tenerife Art Center (Círculo de Bellas Artes de Tenerife) is a non-profit entity funded in 1925, which recently refreshed its long lasting history with a strong public engagement program. It expands to include exhibition spaces (levels 1&2), cafeteria (level 2), theatre (level 3), co-working (level-5), audio-visual cluster (level 5 too next to the library) and the roof to be open soon is made available for outdoor events such as open air cinema and parties. This program renewal came along with the mission to improve the usability of the building, which was entrusted to the Spanish architect, Fernando Menis.
Menis's intervention, while discreet and inexpensive, adds great value to the building. The project redesigns the access and the circulations across the 5 floors in order to make it accessible and marks the entrance with a custom built piece that looks more like a site specific installation than a furniture object; this is actually the only explicit part of the intervention and is made of low cost concrete blocks, which helped to meeting the demands of an extremely limited budget.
Another particularity of the intervention is the collaboration with artists. A 30 x 3 m collective mural made by 47 local and international artists, who got inspiration from aerial images of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in order to paint a contemporary interpretation of the city, dominates the theater of the venue. This is the biggest mural ever in Col-Art's history, which counted on the collaboration of two of the founders of this art movement: Rossana Durán from Mexico and Marc Kuhn from Switzerland. On the façade another intervention by the street artist Shirley Wintsch, a geometric abstract painting that plays with luminescence effects.
Menis's design and assistance during the works, was offered for free to the Tenerife Art Centre.
