Created in 1991 by the Provincial Governmentof Bizkaia, Sala Rekalde is located on RekaldeStreet downtown Bilbao. Initially, this ExhibitionHall was the leading art venue in the city fromthe second half of the 20th century onwards. Itput on exhibitions by internationally renownedartists, including the first public presentations ofthe Guggenheim Collection. To complement thisfunction of opening up towards international artin the pre-Guggenheim period, Sala Rekaldeopened another locale, called “Rekalde, Area 2”and located in an industrial building in Alameda
Mazarredo Avenue, where contemporary Basqueart was exhibited.
When the Guggenheim Museum was opened in1997, however, Sala Rekalde was forced toreinvent itself, as the new museum was tobecome the space in for the type of exhibitionsthat Sala Rekalde had been specialising in upuntil then. So, from that point on, Sala Rekaldeshifted focus towards contemporary art, focusingon exhibiting works of a more experimental natureand on artists whose work is still being evaluated.
