Con el presente trabajo se pretende realizar una inmersión a las manifestaciones artísticas que se dan en el entorno No Wave de Nueva York entre los años 70 y 80. El objetivo principal es estudiar las relaciones que existen entre las figuras más relevantes tanto en artes plásticas como en música y cine. El título “Lenguajes artísticos y vanguardias” responde a una intención de establecer las colaboraciones y cruces entre las artes, ya que al tratarse de un movimiento heterogéneo, se puede y se busca estudiar diferentes artistas y objetos artísticos. Este aspecto, a nivel personal, es otro de los que nos convencieron para abordar este tema, ya que nos permite indagar en varias manifestaciones en lugar de centrarnos en una única expresión, así como en los artistas clave del momento y como encajan todos los elementos en un lugar y momento determinados.

  • Bordeaux 2011 the ARTISTIC and URBAN RENDEZVOUS FREE from 6-16 OCTOBER
    evento bordeaux 2011 THE ARTISTIC AND URBAN RENDEZVOUS FREE FROM 6-16 OCTOBER PRESS PACK PAGE 1 / 52 PRESS PACK EVENTO 2011 EditoRIAL My first meeting with Michelangelo Pistoletto took place in the timeless setting of an old mill which houses his foundation, Cittadellarte, at Biella. We immediately got into a casual discussion as we visited that old industrial wasteland, where artistic creation nurtures many different projects, educational, social, economic and ecological alike… That was a very special day: the enthusiasm I felt about that approach to art’s role in our society and the desire to share it with as many people as possible fuelled my decision: I gave carte blanche to the artist for EVENTO 2011. Since then Bordeaux has become the turf where, surrounded by young curators, Michelangelo Pistoletto has been developing his vision of living together, his contribution to social change centered around a concept: art for an urban re-evolution. It is bold, it is risky, and it is a novel approach. EVENTO 2011 will propose an art connected to the present-day state of the world, along with its issues and its hopes. It will also offer its public, in its various forms, works produced as a result of the commitment of international as well as many Bordeaux born and/or based artists, in a powerful participatory dimension. EVENTO 2011 will delve into our historical, urban, social and cultural roots and help to stimulate and enrich our shared future project. EVENTO 2011 will experiment, call on us, excercise us and, I hope, bring us together in games where ima- gination, creativity and pleasure will all be combined with reflection.
