Getxo Photo - Festival internacional de Imagen - Basque Country

ZAPPING THE ARCHIVE - video screening at @getxophoto (03-27 September 2020).
Curated by PHROOM, Giangiacomo Cirla and Elena Rebecca Rivolta

In a world spoiled by the grammar of digital communication and the neoliberal production relationships that want everything capable of being shared and consumed faster and faster, the suspicion is growing that photographic language is increasingly losing the ability to report linguistic and postural autonomies, nourishing the impression of an imminent disappearance of the figure of the other and his images and expressions.

This makes a reflection on the work of census, selection, storage and use made by the new emerging research platforms an interesting subject to evaluate and possibly recognize the instances of this suspicion.

By attributing an interest in processing an observation thus proposed, PHROOM exhibits a selection of images from its archives, a choice of authors to each of whom, alongside others, is given the opportunity to report both linguistic autonomy and at the same time the ability to constitute, with his signs, an active part of a choral voice capable of outlining a thematic, disciplinary and aesthetic territory, to which refer as to intercept the most urgent instances of contemporary linguistic expression in the visual field.

PhD Research | Sexual Exorbitance in Island Environments. Visual Displays of Intimacy in Human and Interspecies Sexualities

Happy and honored to announce my new project, a PhD Research at Durham University, UK.
"Sexual Exorbitance in Island Environments. Visual Displays of Intimacy in Human and Interspecies Sexualities". An academic research that is an art practice, and vice versa.

A dream coming true thanks to my wonderful supervisors, Prof. Francisco-J. Hernández Adrián and Prof. Marc Schachter, to Durham University, and to our outstanding official media partner, PHROOM.

Islands and seas, human and animal sexual exorbitant displays, gender and queer studies, decolonial studies, ocean environment studies, and art will make my next three years a liquid surprise.

Come to Venice at Screening Room | Office Project Room | June 1st - 15th

Screening Room #4
"Come to Venice" // Benedetta Panisson
June 1st - 15th
-
“Come to Venice” (2013) is a 20 minutes documentary about Venice. Some interviews made to people who live in the island tell about Venice joy and sadness. The sound of the alarm siren is the recording of the original high tide siren that was used till some years ago to alert islanders. The same sound here becomes a general state of alarm.

Horizonte, mar, exceso, exorbitancia | TEA

21 sep 2019

Taller 'Horizonte, mar, exceso, exorbitancia'

TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes celebra este sábado [día 21], en el marco de las residencias de artistas de TEA Área 60: Producción 0 y derivado del ciclo de proyecciones Gonzalo González: desplazamientos, aperturas, miradas desde el cine, el taller Horizonte, mar, exceso, exorbitancia. Este taller, coordinado por Francisco-J. Hernández Adrián, es un seminario-taller de cuatro horas donde se explorará inicialmente una constelación de conceptos que se apoyan en las prácticas artísticas, curatoriales y críticas de Gonzalo González, Benedetta Panisson, Ramiro Carrillo y Francisco-J. Hernández Adrián, quienes expondrán sus planteamientos en torno a estos conceptos para incitar a continuación a un debate más amplio, centrado en los proyectos de los participantes de las residencias.

El taller incluye la proyección de Come to Venice (2013) de Panisson, corto que servirá como punto de partida para abrir y extender el debate, subrayando la idea de que la obra de González dialoga con diferentes formas de expresión artística y audiovisual.

Gonzalo González (Tenerife, 1950) es uno de los artistas más reconocidamente importantes, expansivos y versátiles de las Islas Canarias. Su obra se ha expuesto numerosas veces en Canarias y en la Península, además de en diferentes ciudades de Europa, Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica. Comisariada en TEA por Ramiro Carrillo, Estar aquí es todo recoge la obra reciente de González en diferentes medios: pintura, dibujo, escultura, fotografía y vídeo.

Benedetta Panisson (Venecia, 1981) es una artista y activista conceptual excepcionalmente dinámica cuyo trabajo en diferentes medios interpela a diferentes públicos, contextos de recepción y debate: el cine, la fotografía, la vídeo instalación, el dibujo y la performance. Entre sus proyectos recientes centrados en el vídeo y la fotografía se cuentan Come to Venice (2008-2015), Excess Island (2011-2019) y People do Water (2013-2019).

Ramiro Carrillo es profesor y Director del Departamento de Bellas Artes de la Universidad de La Laguna. Es autor de numerosos textos críticos sobre artistas canarios contemporáneos y ha comisariado dos importantes exposiciones de Gonzalo González.

Francisco-J. Hernández Adrián es profesor titular de Estudios Hispánicos y Estudios de Cultura Visual en la Universidad de Durham (Reino Unido), y editor asociado de la revista Cultural Dynamics.
