Majorca is an island paradise, the kind that dreams and promises are made on.  It’s one of the most gorgeous natural settings in the world, with beaches that are stunning both in their natural allure, as well as the allure of the other travelers enjoying themselves.  The city is composed of many artists and expatriates, making for a subtly Bohemian vibration that runs through the core of everything here.  It has a lot to offer the savvy traveler, and it makes good sense to stay at a 5 star hotel.  Majorca is best seen from the lap of luxury, to help refresh the body and the mind.  The sea does some of this work, and the nightlife can also help, but our hotels are necessary to really seal the deal.

In Majorca, there is a fantastic combination of old-world charm blended with the best of modern technologies, so you can be in touch with the past and future here.  There’s a romantic aura in the city, that can really help a perspective to shift, so you can come back to your senses and find the pulse in you that enjoys life.  When you wake up, Majorca is here, to offer fantastic, lazy days in the Mediterranean sun.  The sun can provoke gorgeous daydreams, and it’s been an inspiration for many artists here, including Geroges Sands and Laura Riding, who are some of the subjects of Renée Green’s Endless Dreams and Water Between.

This is an exhibition by the famous artist and filmmaker from Cleveland, Ohio, whose spectacularly complex installations have compelled viewers all around the world.  This particular installation is the most recent of works by Renée Green and uses Majorca as one of her subjects.  The artist is known for using place as character in her works, which are often inscribed with the ambiguities of history.  By placing objects in careful juxtaposition, she forces the viewer to participate in making meaning, and also to see themselves reflecting on, and speaking to, history.  This work has been touring all over the world, including the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and the Museé Cantonal des BeauxArts, and is a magnificent way of thinking about Majorca both here and away.
