PROGRAMA DE JÓVENES COLECCIONISTAS…

“200” nace de una demanda que como galeristas llevamos años percibiendo. Es habitual el encontrarnos en el ejercicio de nuestra actividad con gente, habitualmente joven y realmente apasionada por la obra de nuestros artistas y que, por razones socioeconómicas obvias, no pueden acceder a la adquisición de obras de arte en las exposiciones que programamos. Obra de artistas emergentes pero aún así con precios de mercado prohibitivos para quienes una pieza suponga dos o más sueldos completos. Llevamos tiempo pensando en esto y gracias al apoyo de cada uno de los artistas que forman parte de “200” hemos hallado una fórmula que permitirá paliar esta situación.

Qué podemos encontrar en “200”? Cada uno de los artistas que forman parte del proyecto ha producido una obra específica para “200”. Esta obra, de serie ilimitada se concibe como un acercamiento al coleccionismo joven.

“Remolino y La Maleta del Inmigrante” (2009) guest artist : Grimanesa Amorós.

REMOLINO
Growing up in Peru, I was fascinated by the diversity and dynamism of cities like New York, and have long envisioned a project that would explore and celebrate this “culture of differences.” Remolino was inspired by the neighborhood of Jamaica, in Queens—one of the first places I lived in New York, and the most ethnically diverse county in the United States. This neighborhood was veritably born of a confluence of cultures. Jamaica Avenue was an ancient trade route of the Algonquin Nation; the name itself is derived from the Jameco tribe. Settled by the British in 1655, Jamaica continues to attract those seeking a better life through increased economic opportunity, and today its streets are crowded with individuals of an indescribable diversity, from countries as distant and disparate as Haiti, China, India, Colombia, Jamaica, the Philippines, the Dominican Republic, and Pakistan.

The concentration of many dissimilar cultures and lifestyles within a relatively small space gives birth to a culture of unique contrasts. Lacking any prevailing norm, the pressure to conform in this type of community is minimal, and what was once difference becomes a part of a shared, multi-cultural experience. The residents of Jamaica are constantly swept up in this dynamic medley of languages, customs, and cuisines. This wave of diversity overwhelms and absorbs, but without threatening the integrity of individual cultures or people.

After observing, photographing, and filming the inhabitants of Jamaica, I created a video to be projected on the façade of the North Fork Bank. The juxtaposition of faces with images of flowing water is suggestive of the movement within the community, the merging of people from all imaginable origins on the vibrant sidewalks of Jamaica Avenue. The fusing, transforming, and scattering of these same faces forces the viewer to interrogate the nature of individuality, and how a shared identity can be forged out of dissimilarity.

LA MALETA DEL INMIGRANTE
The marbles inside the suitcase represent the dreams, memes and schemes that we take with us when we go to a new place. The mirrored surface inside reflects the viewer literally in the way that someone’s belongings reflects them figuratively. In other words, we are what we bring with us.

Videoinstalación “La Maleta del Inmigrante” (2009).

Las esferas de vidrio dentro de la maleta representan los

sueños, recuerdos y proyectos que llevamos con nosotros

cuando nos vamos a otro país. La superficie interna de

espejo refleja literalmente al espectador en la forma en que

las pertenencias de alguien lo reflejan figurativamente. En

otras palabras, somos lo que llevamos con nosotros.

Del jueves 10 al sábado 12 de septiembre, en loop  (Sept. 10-12)

“Art & Book” es un proyecto que busca hibridar arte y literatura, plástica y narrativa. Se plantea la idea de que mediante el concepto de “libro de artista”, cada uno/a de los artistas seleccionados narre y plasme plásticamente una “Obra de Arte”, a lo largo de las páginas que conforman el soporte propio en el que un escritor/a muestra su creación literaria, un libro.
ART & BOOK & OMM es la aplicación que tuvo lugar en el Hotel Omm de Barcelona, desde el 24 de noviembre hasta al 22 de enero de 2006.

Idea Original: Son Espace – Son Projects. Comisariado: Son Espace – Son Projects (Julián Sunyer – Luis Vidal).
