Time for TEA: new arts space in Tenerife
If Prince Charles thought the Central Library in Birmingham, England, looked more like a place to incinerate books, then goodness knows what he'd suggest is the likely role that this building in Santa Cruz, Tenerife, will play with the arts. We must assume that all the beauty shall lie within. :)
The Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, or TEA for short (which will either make it attractive or confusing to English speakers), is yet another work by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, is scheduled to open on October 31st, with open days on November 1st and 2nd, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The building is to house the museum of contemporary art Instituto Óscar Domínguez (Tenerife's famed surrealist); the Centro de Fotografía Isla de Tenerife (Tenerife Photography Center) and the island's central library.
