Albarrán Bourdais was established in 2018 with the idea of creating a new art gallery that expanded beyond the white cube. Large installations and exhibitions that blur the boundaries of the physical space offer a new door to established artists such as Christian Boltanski, Iván Argote, Cristina Lucas and Carlos Amorales, (among others) in the gallery, while promoting the exchange and dialogue between different cultures and sectors. Artists, public space, curators, museums and institutions, and collectors come together equally at Albarrán Bourdais.

Eva Albarrán and Christian Bourdais have been working for almost two decades with key figures of contemporary art and architecture, during which they have developed a particular ecosystem that positions them as pioneers and avant-garde agents of both worlds. In 2004 they made their debut in the field of art production and founded Eva Albarrán & Co, today one of the largest contemporary art production companies in France that specialises in the production of large-scale exhibitions and public commissions. Eva Albarrán & Co has collaborated with artists such as Francis Alÿs, Pierre Huyghe, Kader Attia, Daniel Buren and Fujiko Nakawa, and has contributed to their renowned careers.

Guided by their interest in creating synergies, in 2010 Albarrán Bourdais also launched Solo Houses, where the Gallery programs bi-annual outdoor group exhibitions with specifically created monumental works. Solo Houses unprecedentedly combines architecture, art and nature, and has become a key reference for anyone interested in these sectors.

In the summer of 2021, under the motto of expanding beyond the white cube, Albarrán Bourdais (Menorca) was born, a new exhibition space in the heart of the island. The space was inaugurated with an exhibition conceived in situ by Christian Boltanski.
