Izaro Ieregi (Algorta, 28 October 1987) belongs to a generation that revolves around the age of 30, a generation that must be cared for if you want to learn something about the way art shows Euskal Herria. It's our life.
Studied in Fine Arts, she is a founding member of the Okela Creation Workshop. Despite his youth, he has done many works so far, including documentary 81 loves, but his artistic work is the reason why he has arrived. He works for projects, for series, and his aesthetic concern is to transform signs into gestures, to give them body.
He's been in Buenos Aires for a while, and there, as before in China, he did the Grade Zero exercises, within the Time For Love project. His work begins in the documentation center of the Benedictine Foundation of Lazkao, where from the actions found in the stickers found in it, scripts are elaborated and they perform exercises on several performances. Collect these exercises in photos and videos. And it works with that, you can turn it into sculpture, or not.
Ainhoa Larrabe interviewed Berria before leaving Buenos Aires. The artist said the following about his work: “Through these exercises, I have tried to visualize the ideological mechanisms of a community that lives in historical times.” And also this: “The project revolves around the subjectivity of social groups. I found it important to leave my own context to question the perception of images, to see reality as a gesture; that is, to return to zero degrees.” Historical moments. It was our life.
The exhibition will open on October 6 at Casa Torre de Ariz in Basauri. Garazi Ansa has written the text to read it. A generation that needs to be followed closely.

This text comes two years later, but the calamities of drunks are like this. A surprising surprise happened in San Fermín Txikito: I met Maite Ciganda Azcarate, an art restorer and friend of a friend. That night he told me that he had been arranging two figures that could be... [+]
On Monday afternoon, I had already planned two documentaries carried out in the Basque Country. I am not particularly fond of documentaries, but Zinemaldia is often a good opportunity to set aside habits and traditions. I decided on the Pello Gutierrez Peñalba Replica a week... [+]
