At the 55th Art Exhibition -- La Biennale di Venezia, Spain is represented by Lara Almarcegui, an artist who's work often deals with urban wastelands and modern ruins. For the Spanish Pavilion, she conceived an installation that refers to the architecture and construction of the building that was constructed by Javier de Luque in 1922. Lara Almarcegui fills the pavilion's spaces with mountains of different materials such as brick, concrete, cement, and glass: the same type and quantity of construction materials used by workers to construct the pavilion in the early 20th century.

Lara Almarcegui was born in Zaragoza, Spain. Almarcegui studied Fine Arts at the University of Cuenca and at De Ateliers in Amsterdam. She lives and works in Rotterdam. Solo exhibitions include MUSAC, León (2013); CA2M, Madrid (2012); Künstlerhaus, Bremen (2012); the Secession, Vienna, and Ludlow 38, New York (2010); Gallery Ellen de Bruijne Projects, Amsterdam (2008); the Málaga Centre of Contemporary Art, Málaga (2007); the FRAC Bourgogne, Dijon (2004); and INDEX, Stockholm (2003).
