Everything was happening while everything was happening. Itinerary led by Elena Sanmartín
IVAM Estiu. Art i Context programme
“Everything was happening while everything was happening” is a playful itinerary through the exhibition [DOSMILVINT-I-U] [DOSMILVINT-I-TRES] = 1 encuentro, which takes up on the archive material from the various activities relating to the programme’s educational and mediation proposal. Using a dictionary of terminology put together by Fine Arts students and the Universidad del País Vasco; the videogame En búsqueda de semillas (Looking for Seeds) imagined by a group of children; a Concierto demasiado serio (Too Serious Concert) composed by a group of young people, and the recipe book «d’ací allà, d’allà ací» designed by secondary school teachers, we will walk through all of the possible landscapes imagined before the exhibition came into being.
