Compulsory deviation for something to happen
- Untitled colorful paintings, canvases dyed in asymmetrical forms, collages made with photographs of decorative magazines, videos reproduced on various screens, wood sheets, body recordings, the great teddy bear of colors… These works are the artistic results of the JAI (Institute of Artistic Practices) program organized by Tabakalera and Artium de Vitoria-Gasteiz. Developed in July and August 2020, this programme has had the participation of ten artists and the collaboration of professionals from different disciplines.
The work proposal of the Artium Museum includes works of ten members. Akane Saraiva Rando (Galdames, 1997), Antonio Menchen (Spain, 1983), Cécile Brousse (France, 1985), Ibon Landa Amutxategi (Gasteiz, 1994), Izaro Ierdiego egi (Algorta, 1987), Charlotte Nordgren Sewell (Suedia) The exposition of Artium's fourth room shows the ability to critically look at the contemporary world. In this learning process, they have developed the communication between current reality and its language of expression.
As soon as you enter this exhibition, which you can see in the creators' room, various disciplines attract attention. Works of art are spread in different forms and formats, some on the floor, others hanging on the walls or on the roof… Next to the entrance of the room you can see a small screen in which a monologue girl appears with gigantic colorful bear dolls. Then there is a dyed cloth hanging from the ceiling and a collage with magazine clippings. There is also a picture of colors and wooden plates overlapping each other. Among the three screens that are installed on the ground you can see a dark video followed by the containers of some black painted foods that are on the ground.
Ten young artists who have done a work of fusion of objects of all kinds, want us to make known their interpretation of the world from personal language. They bring us new proposals through different techniques. This exhibition, which has been moved to the Artium Museum of Vitoria-Gasteiz from the collective learning process of Tabakalera, aims to reflect on contemporary art.
