"Viga Mádre – Fundación NMAC, Vejer de la Frontera, Cádiz Province, Spain

This work, entitled "Viga Mádre," is by the sculptor Jacobo Castellano. According to the artist, it is a tribute to the thousands of birds that travel every season from the North of Europe to Africa. By combining the political and poetic process of these animals going from one continent to another without a passport, Castellano builds a "house for the birds", a bird house created with old railway sleepers, as a tribute to the bird loft in the Breña, Barbate, the biggest bird loft in the world. . One of these "houses for the birds" has been built with tiles made in the most antique factory from Granada Fajalauza, founded in 1517, which today provides tiles for the restoration of the Alhambra.

The Fundación NMAC (the Montenmedio Arte Contemporáneo) is a unique space in Spain which explores the space shared by contemporary art and nature. The objective of the NMAC Foundation is to invite international artists to carry out specific artistic projects that are in tune with the landscape.
