Three exhibitions and a couple of photocall
What Photocall should you choose?” My friend threw me with the naughty smile that's common. That day there was the opportunity to visit three exhibitions in the Casco Viejo and in the Casco Viejo. Three possibilities in 700 meters. My friend threw me with his usual rebel smile, as many times art exhibitions are an excuse to create ephemeral Instagram stories 24 hours in this city, like a checkpoint, as a landmark to visit. Some need to leave the mark of having been there. I told her I was going to go at three o'clock. Despite my desire to see the exhibitions, I smiled at him “because they have to write the chronicle”. And with all this, with my friend and the cynical smile under the mask, we started a tour that could be called Bilbao Art & Fashion Evening.
The first stop was at the Bully clothing store in Goienkale. He has recently opened this second-hand clothing store and in addition to offering products of the highest brands, they have started to make exhibitions. The first works that have conquered the walls of Bully have been the colorful landscapes of the óleos that make up the exhibition Untitled or not by Mikel Erkiaga.
We walked away from Bully, a crowded place, across the river and went to the creative factory at Okela. Art spaces of San Francisco 25th Street. The Meeting Point of the artists was shown, with works by Pepo Salazar and Nadia Solitaria under the title DISPOSITIVO.Este last we delved twice into the maze of Okela to see dark and lasting images of aerosols, helped by the encouragement that we are alone in the area. The darkness of the images of the solitarians, the contrast with the white aseptic walls and the magnetic of the images, parapsychological.
The last checkpoint was the SC Gallery of Cortes Street. The exhibition of groups by Amaya Suberviola, Ekta, Nuria Mora, Isaac Cordal, Pablo Merchante and Sebas Velasco. The sum of the work of so many artists in the same class produced a rather irregular result. The biggest claim was Sebas Velasco's realistic painting. Its urban images perfectly reflect the current alienation and loneliness, as well as the collapsed state of the system. Although the only work made in small fabric loses visibility regarding the murals it has painted, the result is very elegant.
Exhausted the cynical smile, boring from the photocall environment and enjoyed more than with other works of art, we decided to move away from the sphere of influence in search of another environment.

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... [+]
