Program Information PROGRAM INFORMATION The International VideoArt Festival "Entre islas" ("Between Islands") emerges as a desire to connect internationally through the videoart language the artistic values of several geographical areas. Insularity and territorial issues are the artistic welding that connect these areas. The wealth of this social and cultural exchange promises to be overwhelming, and the subjects range from emigration or boundaries to concepts like identity, homeland or region. There will be curators from the different areas, and each will select a piece made by a local artist. There will be works from The Balearic Islands (Spain), The Canary Islands (Spain) Cuba, Cape Verde, Haiti and Taiwan. The festival wants to create an international conversation with a critical look at the "between islands" concept. The Festival has been shown in: -Es Baluard Museu d'Art Modern Contemporani de Palma (Spain). October 2015. -Gran Canaria Espacio Digital. Gran Canaria (Spain). May 2015. -TEA-Tenerife Espacio de las Artes. Tenerife (Spain). May 2015. -Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Quito. Quito (Ecuador). April 2015. -Centro Cultural de España en Nicaragua (Nicaragua).

Next projections: -Festival Internazionale VideoArte of Viareggio. GAMC (Italy). November 2015. -4º Ghetto Biennale (Haiti). December 2015. Curators and artists. Why inviting curators instead of choosing the artists directly? Because sometimes their work is not valued enough and it has to be highligthed. In addition, curators have a wide knowledge of their regions, so their choice will be more accurate and the works will be more interesting. The cooperation between curators builds up a very important interpretation, and viewers could enjoy the thorough research of the artistic focus around the suggested subject: insularity and territory. Moreover, unfolding a line-up of curators from different parts of the world is an added value, and the possibilities rise to infinity. The International Video Art Festival "Entre islas" could be defined as an international connection between artistic spokespeople. -Fernando Gómez de la Cuesta – The Balearic Islands – Artist: Laura Torres Bauzà. -Kisito Assangni – Cape Verde – Artist: Cesar Schofield. -Adonay Bermúdez – The Canary Islands – Artist: Jose J.

THE BALEARIC ISLANDS -Curator: Fernando Gómez de la Cuesta (Spain, 1976). -Artist: Laura Torres Bauzà (Spain, 1990). -Art work: “Sísif” (Sísifo) (2014). -Duration: 3’34’’ -Text: The artist Laura Torres Bauzà and the curator Fernando Gómez de la Cuesta set off from a concept as polysemous as is an island to construct an interesting project that reflects on origin and inheritance, on life and its transit, on identity and sense of belonging, on symbols and the need to interpret that which surrounds us. The idea of inhabiting, occupying, living, surviving and working, in relation to space, home, the place, the earth and the niche. The body and territory in contradiction, connection and symbiosis, comprise a series of investigations which were already common in some of the previous approaches of both and on which they rely to develop this proposal, thanks to a unique mechanism. Torres Bauzà and Gómez de la Cuesta set off from an intense process of exchange of video images and linked texts, which in a stroke of luck of exquisite corpse sophisticated and poetic; have shaped the project as their conceptions are embodied, at the same time different and concurrent with the idea of island. The result is this peculiar video-creation titled “Sísif” (Sisyphus) by Torres Bauzà which is accompanied by a text penned by two hands, the actual artist and the commissioner of the proposal. -Currículum of the curator: Fernando Gómez de la Cuesta.

  • LOW QUALITY STREET VIDEO ART in SINGLE FRAME December
    LOW QUALITY STREET VIDEO ART IN SINGLE FRAME December 2019 Installation view of the screening during ARTIFICIAL LIGHT, 7-th annual exhibition of Contemporary Space Gallery, Varna, BG curator Daniella Radeva The project was developed during July-August 2019 Espai Sant Marc AiR programme, Sineu, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, ESPAÑA (Travel Grant by Creative Development Programme of BULGARIAN NATIONAL FUND “CULTURE”) The screening is realized by handmade cardboard projector. The dimenssions are variable. The project ironically combines the creative approaches of video art with street art and actionism in urban environments. Examining their different aspects, the project aims to find new public language. It uses the different opportunities, which are offered by these seemingly different media through its innovative approach to them in a way that aims to maximize the impact. Technically: The project works with handy and found materials, thereby reducing budget expenses to a minimum. In other words; using hand-made projectors, the project-author attacks the social environment. Conceptually: Using projection instead of physical material on facades, the project elegantly escapes the hooligan approach of street art. But he keeps the direct contact, through which street art works and adapts it for video art. Thus, video art is freed from allegations of elitism, which makes a significant development of contemporary art.
