#microproyecto 2 (dentro del FER i no fer)

“Columnas romanas”

Sobre todo fui a Roma para conocer y entrevistar a Maite Larrauri, profesora de filosofía jubilada y escritora de la fantastica serie de libros:

"Filosofía para profanos" (con ilustraciones de MAX)

Si bien la admiraba antes por su edición, que me hizo aprender y entender mucho sobre conceptos filosóficos, pues ahora hasta me cae bien.

M'encantó la entrevista! Tenía un tono dulce y firme, claro y terrenal (terrenal de tierra) e inteligente (cerebral y emocional)! Aporta mucho a mi proyecto “EL FER i no fer”.

Esto para empezar.

Luego me pegué unos cuantos paseos, intrigados por la ciudad y su lenguaje architectónico.

La "Deutsche Akadamie" muy amablemente me abrió sus puertas majestuosas y me enseñó sus instalaciones fuera de horario (no sin hacerme sentir un poquito inferior).

Esta residencia para artistas, se entiende como la dotación, el reconocimiento más alto de la BRD, facilitando una estancia de 12 meses en esta ciudad con el "heritage de arte" más importante del mundo.

Por otro lado me explica mucha gente que de arte contemporáneo hay poco aquí y que es un aburrimiento.

Me hizo reflexionar y me puse a buscar ese reflejo de la gran cultura romana en la contemporaneidad.

Roma está llena de columnas, obvio.

Columnas romanas.

Pues m dediqué los 4 días a buscar los mejores ejemplos de columnas contemporáneas de Roma.

Espero que os gusten.

Y si, Roma es genial, quiero volver, pero no a la Deutsche Akademie, sino  a la americana, que vi una expío que me abrió el corazón!

Nero su bianco

una expo col.lectiva - mucha instalación y un segurata de sala que te acompaña personalmente a ver cada pieza, situada en básicamente toda la academia.

Al final todas las personas, staff, artistas, visitantes, servicios se convierten en parte de la exposición.

Visto desde el punto de vista católico podría ser así :)

What and Who is Hangar Artist Residency exactly? 1/3

A few days after informing the artists of the result of the final selection process we were invited to make a "Tour" through the Hangar studios. 

Joana Cerviá did a great, funny and informative introduction. 

Explaining what is what, who is who and a bit of history of the building, the area of “Poble Nou” and Hangar itself. 

 I was overwhelmed when I got notified to be accepted. But not as much as when I came to see the possibilities that HANGAR just opened up to me:

1

@MarcoNorris @joanacervia @ciprianhomrodean at the space reserved for extraordinary projects or the international short term residents:

2

Workshop of Pure Data, Arduino, open software and Robotica. 

EVERY THURSDAY you can also join the open space with BEFACO, bring and discuss your project from 16h to 19h. 

BEFACO is a permanently installed collective at Hangar.org organizing DIY workshops for synthesized moduls!!!

There‘s another workshop for, I would call it earthly materials: Wood, metal, plastic etc. worn by @pense:

4

There are two laser plotters (one is dead I think) to be used for the price of the ink.

A 3D Printer:

5

A lab for digital image guided by @sergibotella:

6

Audio and Video Blackboxes for image and sound editing:

Oh man, just writing this down I am getting all excited again! I am sure I will leave something out. Sorry in advance!

Let’s go upstairs and see the artist studios. 

There are 14 spaces for 18 artists:

At this moment there are these talented people in residency:

Giuliana Racco and Matteo Guidi, Ariadna Guiteras, Andrea Gomez, Marco Noris, Marc Serra, Ciprian Homrodean, Christina Schultz, Diego Paonessa, Lucia Pino, Mario Santamaria, German Portal

The kitchen:

The hallway, reunion room and YES, that is a ping pong table in the back!

And here’s my lovely shared space with Megan Michalak, who still has to arrive.

This was at the very beginning:

And this is how it looks so far:

Any feedback you want to give me you can find me on FB, Twitter or here :)

6 values of the selection process of the 2015 committee of Hangar AIR (artists in residency) 2/3

The “Hangar committee” for the selection of artists in residence in 2015 was composed by: Mireia Sallarès, Nuria Güell, (two excellent artists), Tere Badía, director of Hangar, Frederic Montornès, curator and critic, and Jeffrey Swartz, a curator and educator.

Here are the values, the selection committee established for the call of this year 2015 and sent out to the preselected who finally weren't selected. Each also received a personal valuation.

"In joint decision the committee evaluates three fundamental aspects:

The real need for a studio, the work quality (of the artist), and the specific moment of  the career that would make it especially fruitful to pass through Hangar.

The committee also values the knowledge and awareness the applicants have towards the heart and spirit of Hangar. The residence implies to establish a link to the community, to interact and exchange (give and receive). Lastly (the commission values) the consistency of the presented project and the interview session."

So if you got curious by now what kind of an artist am I:

I am a golden star diver kid. Mostly in a happy mood and doing SOMETHING .

Mostly to make YOU do things too. Even do nothing.
