From her bachelor's degree in Fine Arts in 2007 she works non-stop in the art field. Sahatsa Jauregi Azkarate (Itaparica, Brazil, 25 September 1984) is currently a member of the Meat Creation Workshop.

He won a special award in 2013 in the Noveles Artists program of Gipuzkoa, Goods. Well by project. “I am based on a methodology of concrete work in artistic practice: that of the collector. I gather them in an endless atlas of photographs and objects, symbols and elements that make me attractive.”

He then explained the reason for this: “This collection is fixed in the sensitive exercises that the person constructs with what surrounds us, by carelessness or without artistic will.” That is, what says of us our room, what says of us the sense of our good taste, what says of us the education we have received to internalize the taste that is good for us, what tells of us our class about us.

At the end of 2016 he exposes in the gallery Carreras Múgica, Zure zulo, and from there is this work you see here. A year earlier he received the commission of two acts of very different characteristics: making trophies. “I had already started working with the purchased objects, with the fetish objects I collected, and when I received this trophy proposal, I decided to apply the same logic to these commissions, that is, to work them in the same way that I did the sculptures in the studio.” Apparently, the organizers did not like the trophies, but the artist decided to continue working with them.

When making works of art with objects that are not tastefully touched, here is what Nicolas Bourriaud has called exforma, symbol of an era.

“Noizbait ere gauzak bukatu egin behar dira, konplitu dugu Argia Sariekin”

Behin batean, gazterik, gidoi nagusia betetzea egokitu zitzaion. Elbira Zipitriaren ikasle izanak, ikastolen mugimendu berriarekin bat egin zuen. Irakasle izan zen artisau baino lehen. Gero, eskulturgile. Egun, musika jotzen du, bere gogoz eta bere buruarentzat. Eta beti, eta 35... [+]

The close is always moving

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... [+]

About the need to be Chillida
At the expense of the centenary of the birth of Eduardo Chillida, the media of all ideologies have dominated hagiographies and no mention has been made of his “ultra radical Falangist youth”.

Gris de Mañaria
In the early 1970s, artist Robert Smithson questioned minimalist art by mouthful and conveyed the idea that art could be done in the landscape and in nature itself. Thus, following this idea of creation, several artists began to make preparations in the field, moving their... [+]

Request for a “permanent” deposit in Navarra
The Pompelu togatus is exhibited at the Museum of Navarra in the last year, but has lost its track for many years. Discovered in the Old Town of Pamplona 128 years ago, he has been in the deposit of a world billionaire for a few years and his property is currently an American.

Head, head!

The search, the continuous search for a path, implies discovering what we do not want or expect. An artist should feed this appetizing search if he wants to keep his spirit alive. Your career is also going to need a big head office. Looking for new ways, uncovering and expanding... [+]

I get contradictions in art competitions. On the one hand, they place artists and works of art within the dynamics of competitiveness, leaving aside the transformative and collective character of art and placing them within the mercantilist logics, but it cannot sometimes be... [+]
