Languages and Aesthetics of Spanish Video Art: Ten Years of Critical Practices

Organized by: Videotage (Hong Kong) and Casa Asia (Spain)
Curated by: Menene Gras Balaguer

*Free Admission
*With English and Chinese Subtitles

Following an exemplary panel discussion about the future of the visual arts within the expanded field of the moving image, Videotage, along with co-organizer CASA ASIA (Spain), will conduct an enlivening series of screenings towards the end of April and into early May titled, Languages and Aesthetics of Spanish Video Art: Ten Years of Critical Practices. Curated by Menene Gras Balaguer, this project recently awarded by ACCA, the Art Critic´s Association, as the Best Project Abroad.

The video art works gathered in this proposal are assembled in seven different chapters or sessions based on conceptual and contextual elements. The proposal comes from the powerful narratives built up by the 25 Spanish artists who are part of this project. All of them engaged with the medium and well known in different international scenes. Their works are not only representative of the expanded field of the moving image, but also of the social landscape of our daily life in all its dimensions. Antoni Muntadas, Dora García, Eugenio Ampudia, Carles Guerra, Eugeni Bonet, Daniel García Andujar, Marcelo Expósito, Marisa González, Josep M. Martín, Alicia Framis, Francisco Ruiz de Infante, Albert Merino or Ivan Marino among others are some of the names specially recommended to articulate the current issues this project deals with, although all of them deserve to be mentioned here for one reason or another.
