IVAM Centre Julio González

Pre-registration. Limited places

Registration

We propose a walk through the city of Valencia during which we will activate a series of locations depicted in the works of Pinazo, which coincide with LUCE’s personal geography.

  • Start: 10:30 a.m. IVAM main entrance. (C/ Guillem de Castro, 118. Valencia)
  • Approximate duration: 2.5 hrs.

The tour includes revisiting commonly-frequented corners of Valencia in which LUCE gazes into the echoes of that which Pinazo observed and immortalized. Discovering the city as a vehicle between history and those who inhabit it, which is the primary material of the artistic practices of both artists.

As we walk, putting movement into our bodies, we see the places that surround us in another way. The city shows itself just as we see it, and that is when a moment is constructed from our personal history. On this walk, LUCE will be accompanied by Eva Bravo, and they will both encourage us to do away with the timeline in order to intertwine individual lives with collective experiences, always doing this through the contemplation of the ordinary, of the apparently unnoticed.

Through curiosity and play, we will visit places that were explored – and are explored – by both artists, giving a new meaning to those public places in continuous transformation, discovering “the other spaces” or “the other cities within the city”. An activity that invites us to be part of the public space in order to walk around it, decipher it and experience it.

*This activity is the first in a series of three different walks proposed by the artist and Eva Bravo. The program will also include the Open Studio at IAVM, which will become a space in which to produce, create, display and share the different lines of action and research that connect LUCE with the city of Valencia.

Through its art, LUCE (Valencia, 1989) researches the associations generated between art and its surroundings. It promotes communication with the city to understand how it functions and how we relate to it.

Eva Bravo (Valencia, 1974) combines archaeology with management of heritage, teaching, cultural mediation and participation in research projects.

To join the cultural events that celebrate Pride in the city of Valencia, IVAM offers a special guided visit of Zanele Muholi’s exhibition. The visit is planned as a tour of the homonymous exhibition of the South African artist emphasizing their struggle for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as a closer look at some of their most iconic works.

Zanele Muholi (Umlazi, South Africa, 1972), artist and visual activist Muholi began their career doing work for LGBTQIA+ publications, portraying people from this undervalued community, always in a positive light. The aim was to introduce them into the collective imaginary of South African society to rewrite their visual history, dominated until then by an ethnocentric and heteropatriarchal ideology. This exhibition, organised by Tate Modern in collaboration with the Institut Valencià d’Art Modern, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris, and Gropius Bau, Berlin, is the most extensive to date with around 260 photographs. In 2016, Muholi received the Infinity Award from the International Center of Photography, and the Chevalier de Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and has been an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society since 2018.

Duration: 45 minutes approx.
For: general public.
Maximum capacity: 25 people.

OPEN SELECTION PROCESS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 4

1st EDITION October 6th 2022 to June 30th 2023

Contemporary art is in constant friction with other areas of knowledge and cultural practices, questions of social interest and public space. These vertices converge in particular on a “metabolic museum” of the kind the IVAM hopes to propitiate: an institution traversed by crisis – economic, cultural and ethical – and transformation, a museum formed by a series of organs constituting a body that feeds off friction with other bodies in circulation. This is the spirit which inspires ARTICULATIONS, a programme created on the basis of two academic certifications: the first held during the first four-month term in collaboration with the Universitat de València, and the other in the second four-month term in collaboration with the Universitat Politécnica de Valencia.

As an international programme, although anchored in a specific territory, it aims to generate a learning context from which to confront the urgencies and uncertainties of a globally wounded present that requires new working methods and ways of inhabiting the world. The programme attaches importance to collaborative work precisely with the goal of learning from the people around us, developing ideas and giving shape to new forms of knowledge. Post-Identitarian feminisms, popular and decolonial practices, processes of globalisation and virtuality, speculative and collective narratives and the care of the planet are the frameworks defining the organisation of the four modules of the programme: Contemporary metabolic practices, Ruptures and remediations of discourse, Walking with the head, thinking with the feet and lastly a Final project.

Students who join the programme will form part of a heterodox institutional project focused on careful attention to processes of creation and thought besides results. In short, it will consist of a “doing with” a community of students, teachers with different academic backgrounds and professionals from the sector, from a variety of geographical areas, whose practices critically and incisively mould how contemporary art is understood, rehearsed and thought in its different expressions.

PRE-REGISTRATION. LIMITED CAPACITY

The artists Raúl Hidalgo, Esmeralda Gómez Galera and Álvaro Porras Soriano (artist of the Programa d’Art i Context) propose a collective activity in the form of a long walk (about 12 km approx.) along different railway lines that connect the Estación del Norte with the Grao port area. The walk is intended as a psycho-geographical re-reading of the railway network of the city of Valencia.

Throughout the walk, there will be a series of activities, and you will seek various ‘oases’ in which to stop and reflect on the context that surrounds us. The recognition of these heterotopic spaces will help to understand the emergence of new potential landscapes to experience other relationships, functions, and possibilities of co-evolution. This will be a speculative group activity that invites you to let yourself be guided by your intuition with a critical eye.

Meeting point: Under the clock of the Estación del Norte (Maps)
Start time: 6:45 p.m

End point: Nazaret metro station (Maps) [Metrovalencia Line 10] Arrival time: 11 p.m approx.

Raúl Hidalgo (Alcázar de San Juan, 1980) ) investigates the ‘everyday’ to experiment with the fragility of the body, the instability of materials and the awareness of nature. Through installations, activities and scores, he creates collaborative situations to make us reflect on how relationships, materiality and social spaces have the power to alter our behaviour and attitudes. Ultimately, he seeks to put forward a game that allows us to act in our shared present and imagine the future we want.

He has a PhD in Fine Arts from the University of Castilla-La Mancha and a postgraduate degree in Visual Communication from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg (Germany). He has made site-specific artwork in cities such as Berlin, Bogota, London, Stockholm, Madrid and Mexico. He participates in interdisciplinary projects with international research-creation groups. He has carried out creative stays at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá), the Instituto de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, the Instituto de Investigación en Arte, Diseño y Sociedad in Oporto, among others. He has received grants and awards such as the Marcelino Botín Visual Arts Grant, the Injuve Project Award, the Aid for research, creation and production from the Ministry of Culture, as well as the PICE-Acción Cultural España Mobility Grant.

Esmeralda Gómez Galera (Tomelloso, 1993) develops artistic research that focuses on the relationship between bodies and urban spaces, finding in the action of walking an aesthetic tool that allows us to experience the urban phenomenon playfully and blurs material and symbolic boundaries existing in the city.

Along with her professional activities related to contemporary art management, she is also an artist and researcher. She studied Fine Arts at UCLM and Philosophy at UNED. She holds a Masters’s degree in Research in Artistic and Visual Practices from the UCLM, where she is currently working on a PhD thesis on the aesthetics of walking as an artistic practice. She has made site-specific art in different cities such as Lisbon, Glasgow, Amsterdam, Berlin, Valencia, and Madrid, participated in exhibitions and residencies, published research articles, and given lectures and workshops in several universities.

Between May and June, the 3rd year students of the Fine Arts Degree (UPV) studying Aesthetics and politics: new forms of citizen intervention, have been working on and analysing the Art and Context Program from the perspective of relational aesthetics. Throughout the sessions, they have approached the program and the works of each artist who is part of it through different texts, ideas and dynamics, focusing on Berenar’s activity that they proposed as a space for opening up their process. At the end of the program, they were asked to organise an activity that reflects the link between art, context and relational aesthetics. In their own words:

Art market. Bring your stuff, not your €€€ is an activity organized by the Fine Arts students of Aesthetics and Politics: new forms of citizen intervention, which aims to question the art market. Through a relational approach, the students invite the public to participate in the exchange of objects, feelings and experiences both with them and the other participants. Therefore, you must bring an object(s) to exchange, whether material or not.

FRIDAY JUNE 17. 19.00.

The group that makes up the Inventory (common thought on the museum) proposes opening up its creative and thought process to the public by sharing a new activity to complete the project carried out at IVAM since February.

If we were to envisage the city of Valencia as a large human body, where would the heart be? Which neighborhood would contain its lungs, the spleen or the hands? Throughout the working sessions, we have asked how we could inhabit the city and the museum by understanding them as living organisms that connect and work like a biological body. Based on the thinking that has been put forward, the Inventory group suggests we follow three trails from different parts of the city to IVAM, putting a spotlight on the relationship between body, urban fabric and museum.

We invite you to accompany us on one of these walks which, starting from different bodies of the city, will meet at IVAM.

TRAIL 1. A tour in which we will use the sense of touch to travel around the city through its objects, crafts, trades and textures.

TRAIL 2. A photographic journey through revealing moments that emerge created collectively during the walk.

TRAIL 3. A picnic in the Turia Gardens (Jardines del Turia) to connect the museum with the natural urban space. Chats, food, experiences and what each participant wants to contribute.

Practical information

  • Activity time: 19.00
  • Working and locations: each attendee may decide which of the three trails (rastros) to follow in order to carry out the activity. Attendance will be free and each participant will be able to head to the starting point of the trail they have chosen.

Is the color I am seeing the same as the color you can see?
The color that the artist painted and the one I can see… are they similar or the same?

Through the exhibition, Art and life. Anni and Josef Albers, we will understand the dialog that exists between light and color. Color as a source of inspiration and study, and light as a mutable element that is in constant movement. We will learn to question the reality when talking about color.

A walk accompanied by Marc Gonzalo and the mediation team at IVAM. Interacting with the works and the museum will allow us to respond to some of those questions and will open up new questions on light and color as a tool for questioning what surrounds us: Does color exist?, Is color a constant in matter?, is light tangible?

Endgame

The mechanics of the day-to-day

A space to learn about the technical, social, fictional and magical objects that surround us

 
OthersPoliglotiaIVAM Centre Julio González

18 may. 2022

IVAM Centre Julio González

The group that forms the Inventario (pensar en común el museo) (Inventory project (common thought on the museum)) opens up its creative and reflective process to the public, sharing two activities created and designed in the context of International Museum Day. The objective is to offer and make visible part of the work process to all interested members of the public.

What does an overhead contact line do?, How is it used?. And a ballpoint pen? Can a “biro” be an everyday object in a museum?, Would you like to know what any of the objects in the museum do, or how they have been transformed…or the objects in your home?

The members of the Inventory project (common thought on the museum) have reflected on and discussed the objects they have seen and found during the sessions of the project’s development. For this activity, the group proposes setting up a kind of counter for doubts, questions and imaginations on the objects that reside within IVAM, as well as about objects that each one of us has at home, or that belong to us.

How does an umbrella stand work?, How is a tin of Cola Cao produced?, Historically, how did a coffee spoon come into being?… The group will analyze the day-to-day mechanics of a selection of museum objects and objects that the public attendees bring with them. The analyses will be provided from a technical social, fictional and magical point of view, opening the museum doors so that the knowledge of others can flood in.

Time: 6 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour
How does it work? You can bring any object that you want to have analyzed or that you are curious about.

The fissures of NO

Influencing the possibilities and prohibitions of the museum

IVAM Centre Julio González

The group that makes up the Inventario (pensar en común el museo) (Inventory project (common thought on the museum)) proposes opening their creative and reflective process to the public, sharing two of their own activities, created and designed in the context of International Museum Day. The objective is to offer and make visible part of the work process to all interested members of the public.

Can you enter the museum with an umbrella?, and with sharp objects?, with weapons?, with antiques?, why?, what can you do and what can you not do in the museum?, why are so many things prohibited in spaces like the IVAM?

An installation of visual and sound elements helps the group that forms the Inventario (pensar en común el museo) (Inventory project (common thought on the museum)) to reflect on the limits and the boundaries that the museum consciously, and apparently innately, proposes for its visitors. From the creation of a space for proactive complaints on the walls at IVAM, and through the use of the open mic, a full day activity is proposed for 18 May to which the public will be invited to participate in order to propose what the limits and prohibitions for the museum should be… or what we would want them to be (or not!). The day will close with a more performative event, by reading the proposals gathered from the visitor groups that have taken part in the project.

Times for the activity: 10: a.m.-7 p.m. *free access
Time of the performance: 7 p.m.

Free entry until capacity is reached

Taking some photographic projects by Zanele Muholi as a starting point, the purpose of this conference is to create a historical and visual genealogy of the work of the South African artist. Comparing her images with those taken by European and African photographers since the 19th century, some of the accepted ideas become problematic in relation to the colonial point of view. The conference will also present some developments in the pipeline for a book project which López Sanz is working on, whose title will be something along the lines of: UNA historia de la fotografía africana al sur del Sáhara desde sus orígenes hasta la contemporaneidad: dinámicas, estéticas y tendencias (A history of African photography south of the Sahara from its origins to the present day: dynamics, aesthetics and trends). A story of photography created by Africans since the daguerreotype was patented in 1839 until present times, which is still a great unknown for Spanish speaking people today.

Hasan G. López Sanz is a Doctor of Philosophy and a Graduate in Social Anthropology, Culture and Philosophy. A lecturer in Aesthetics and Theory of Art at the Philosophy Faculty of the University of Valencia and a curator of exhibitions, with research carried out in the field of photography, its practices and public use, particularly in relation to Anthropology, aesthetics and contemporary art. Among his publications, some notable books are La misión etnográfica y lingüística Dakar-Djibouti y el fantasma de África (The ethnographic and linguistic mission Dakar-Djibouti and the ghost of Africa) (PUV, 2009), La pluma y la cámara. Antropología y memoria colonial en blanco y negro (The pen and the camera. Anthropology and colonial memory in black and white) (Muvaet, 2014), Zoos humanos, ethnic freaks y exhibiciones etnológicas. Una aproximación desde la antropología, la estética y la creación artística contemporánea (Humans zoos, ethnic freaks and ethnological exhibitions. An approximation from anthropology, aesthetics and contemporary artistic creation) (Concreta, 2017) and La pintura de frontera de George Catlin. Una etnografía entre la escritura de viajes y la imagen (The frontier paintings of George Catlin. An ethnography of the travel writings and images) (PUV, 2019).

Pre-registration. Limited capacity

La naturaleza y su temblor (Nature and its tremblings) is a site-specific intervention mechanism, a stroll-visit with pauses that attempts to reveal ‘another reality’ through the tools of theatre, the body, thoughts and cinema, awakening new opportunities for perception in the participants.

This project from the Societat doctor Alonso consists of a walk during which the spectators perceive reality through observation, as well as in what they hear and perceive through an audio device. During the walk, different stops will be made at predetermined locations within an itinerary that, in Valencia, has been designed in close collaboration with the institute next to the museum, the IES Barri del Carme. As a result of the process of investigation, the project will culminate in a stroll-visit performance around Ciutat Vella accompanied by the artists, which is open to the public.

Authorship: Tomàs Aragay (director), Sofia Asencio, Chus Domínguez and Idoia Zabaleta (directors), with production by Imma Bové.

The Societat doctor Alonso is a company directed by Tomàs Aragay (theatre director and dramatist) and Sofia Asencio (dancer and choreographer). From the concept of displacement, of placing something out of its place, whether this refers to an area or its own space, they enquire into how this displacement modifies language both in its grammatical construction and in how an observer may read it: it is about displacing something in order to reveal it.

Co-production: Festival GREC of Barcelona, Morae Danza and the Societat Doctor Alonso, with support from the Basque Government, the Catalan Government, INAEM and the Ramon Llull Institute.

Itinerary design: students of the 1st year Baccalaureate in Art at the IES Barri del Carme, with coordination provided by the teacher, Rosanna Soler Minguet (Philosophy Tutor).

Artist, Mar Aza, and director of IVAM and exhibition curator, Nuria Enguita, present the Mar Arza exhibition. A pesar / A saber / A tientas (To regret / To know / To fumble).

Artist, Mar Arza, has created a specific project for Gallery 3, designed as an installation, which has brought together archaeological pieces that are displayed in dialogue with works by Julio González and works by the artist.

The selection of works by Mar Arza reveals a line of work where reflection of the pregnant body includes a substrate which has been prolonged over the years in a transversal way, taking different approaches and using different materials. Brought together in this exhibition through a device which conditions your perception and reading, the sculptures broaden the echo of their dysfunctionality.
