This is the first monographic exhibition by Anna Boghiguian (Cairo, 1946) in Spain. In her work, the Egyptian-Canadian artist of Armenian origin explores the historical, economic, social and political impact of certain events of the past in the present. Boghiguian employs the image as a form of writing and writing as image to unfold a way of thinking and a poetics committed with the world; visual essays that show the sustained impact of political history and economic conditions in the contemporary world.

To the artist’s way of thinking, colonialism is like a hinge moment that ushered in a profound radical change in articulating human relationships with the world, however much her images are drawn from her experience, from the personal encounter with certain places and objects that provoke an emotional and cognitive response. Boghiguian transforms these experiences into artist books, drawings, paintings, cut-outs, collages and installations.

Widely considered one of the most interesting contemporary artists of our time, Boghiguian has had solo shows at SMAK, Ghent (2020); Tate St. Ives, (2019); New Museum, New York (2018); Castello di Rivoli, Turin (2017); Carré d’Art, Nîmes (2016). Her work has been seen at documenta 13 in Kassel and in the biennials of Sharja (2011), Sao Paulo (2014), Istanbul (2015), Santa Fe (2016) and Sydney (2020). She received, together with other Armenian artists, the Golden Lion for her contribution to the Armenian Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale (2015).

POLIGLOTÍA: Presentation + Estudios Políglotas Group + Dreamer Strings&Doudou Nganga

The POLIGLOTÍA programme is a creative, multidisciplinary process arising from the diversity of languages and cultural practices that exist in the city of Valencia. To that effect, we experiment with language as an energising tool, along with other forms of doing, feeling and communicating.

At this opening session, we will present the POLIGLOTÍA programme with an activity that has been energised by the participants of the Estudios Políglotas Group*. They will outline the different open processes that describe the choices offered by multilingualism as a method for creating together, playing with diversity and making oneself understood. To close, there is a concert by the Spanish-Congolese duo Dreamer Strings&Doudou Nganga, a fusion of instrumental music with Central African rhythms.

The POLIGLOTÍA programme takes place from November 2021 to May 2022 and includes various activities and creative processes promoted, from a cultural and linguistic perspective, by meetings at the museum. The programme is coordinated by Paco Inclán, writer and Spanish teacher for migrants and refugees, in collaboration with the activities and education department at IVAM (Valencia Institute of Modern Art).

*Participants: Tarif Ashtar, Paula Guardiola, Yulia Fert, Badinengany Katalay-Sun, Hu Zhao, Milagros Arias, Teona Ruzadze, Fatma Guisse, Ivan Reznik, Joaquín Artime, Clara Solbes, Javier Lorente Puchades, Yahui Liu Zhou.

The POLIGLOTIA programme proposes a multidisciplinary creative process based on various languages and cultural practices that are present in the city of Valencia. To that end, we will experiment with language as a stimulation tool, along with other forms of doing, feeling and communicating. From a hybrid and intercultural perspective, the programme is also conceived as a meeting space within the museum. In POLIGLOTÍA, we seek to generate content through the interchange of experiences and knowledge for the mutual enrichment of the people and collectives taking part. We will start from its motivations and abilities to develop proposals that are aimed at a wide and diverse range of people.

The programme is coordinated by Paco Inclán, a writer and Spanish teacher for migrants and refugees, in collaboration with the activities and education department of IVAM (Valencia Institute of Modern Art). POLIGLOTIA finds inspiration in the atmosphere within a class of language learners in matters such as the desire to understand and to explain themselves, closeness to other world views through language and the relationships that are established between people that share the same space from a diversity point of view.

POLIGLOTÍA will begin with these three courses of action.

1. Grupo de Estudios Políglotas (Polyglot Study Group)

  • Sessions: 2-9-16-23 November 2021 from 5.30 to 8.00pm.
    The creation of a group to explore language from a multilingual perspective. We will experiment with words, stories, poems, legends, proverbs, jokes, lullabies, songs, and other expressions of the different participants’ mother tongues. We will produce proposals for energising the content created during the sessions.
  • Participants: Tarif Ashtar, Paula Guardiola, Yulia Fert, Badinengany Katalay-Sun, Hu Zhao, Milagros Arias, Teona Ruzadze, Fatma Guisse , Ivan Reznik, Joaquín Artime, Clara Solbes, Javier Lorente Puchades, Yahui Liu Zhou.

2. Activities programme

    • From November 2021 to May 2022.
      Activities open to the public, conceived as shared experiences between participating individuals and collectives and whoever wants to enjoy them.
    • Saturday 27 November at 6.00pm.
      POLIGLOTÍA [open doors]. Programme presentation.
      A session in which we play with words and expressions from different languages with a focus on fun and participation. The activity will be energised by the Grupo de Estudios Políglotas.
    • Friday, December 10. At 6 p.m.
       Arabic Calligraphy Workshop with Abdelaziz Bouhlassa Bachari.
      An aesthetic approach to Arabic calligraphy from a pictorial approach. We will learn the different instruments, techniques and styles that are used in this writing characterized by its beauty and flexibility. To participate, it is not essential to master the Arabic language, just be curious to know its various forms written through calligraphy.
    • Thursday, January 13. At 6 p.m.
       Book club with United Minds.
      In this session we will approach the literature being produced on the African continent with the dynamisation of United Minds, a Valencian bookshop specialising in African culture and literature.

    • Friday, March 4. At 6:00 pm
      Ebru Art Workshop. Poliglotía
      This workshop, led by Turkish artist Meral Gokcek, coordinator of Ebru-Valencia, will look at Ebru art, a traditional Turkish art form classed as Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2014 by UNESCO. Ebru art uses water as a canvas on which paint expands, experimenting with different traditional techniques.
    • Saturday 9 April. 12.00.
      Gastronomic grammar, workshop with Cocinas Migrantes      . We see this activity as a way of experimenting with gastronomic grammar – the inner structures which, as with language, create meaning in our social and natural realities. We will use different auditory, visual, tactile, linguistic and of course, culinary applications as forms of mediation between participants and elements of migrant cuisine. We will build new grammatical structures as a means of favouring open, fluid identities. During the session, we will look at the Afghan diaspora with the technical and culinary assistance of Najib Miri and his family, who will be offering us a gastronimic sample to round up the activity.
    • Saturday 7 May. 11.00.
      China-Valencia: When two worlds meet      . You are invited to a guided walk with Hu Zhao, a Chinese actor who lives in Valencia, who will draw our attention to spaces and everyday items in the city that evoke aspects of Chinese culture. We will discover these evocations on facades, in menus, in small shops and establishments we will visit along the poetic, symbolic passage into Chinese culture through Valencia and vice-versa.

3. Inventari. Poliglotía (The museum thinks together)

This final stage of the project proposes creating a place for meeting and brainstorming, reflecting on the possibilities, limits and problems related to the museum itself as an architectural, institutional, relational, creative, and exhibition area. As such, we propose the formation of a project team that can think together about the inventory of the tensions, challenges, and opportunities offered by the different agents and experiences that constitute part of museum life. From March to June 2022.

The lecture will present theoretical interpretations of Ignacio Pinazo’s representations of human groups in public spaces. The main lines of the exhibition will be presented and a selection of the works in the exhibition will be analyzed, together with biographical components and reflections by the artist. A reading of this group of works by Pinazo in a biopolitical key will be proposedTo this end, it is necessary to take into account their strategies of representation, the linkages and misalignments of such strategies with respect to personal and collective experiences, as well as their specific ways of manifesting the play between ideals and conflicts in the integration of the social body through the habits and customs of the multitudes and of their own body in the encounter with the bodies of others.

Vicente Pla Vivas. Sagunt, 1962. Professor of the Department of Art History at the Universitat de València, specialized in the problems generated by the images during the historical processes of establishment of modernity, in the study and interpretation of the European graphic image of wide diffusion during the nineteenth century, as well as the Valencian art of the final decades of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century and photography. The research can be framed within the theoretical field of visual studies and has proposed to open ways of connection with the history of aesthetics, technique and scientific epistemologies, as well as cultural studies, to reconstruct the active structures in the functioning and evolution of the mechanisms of modern imaginaries. He participates in the R+D+i Project «La vida artística en Valencia (1880-1936). Fuentes para un diccionario de artistas». (HAR2009-14480).

Nowadays, reading is a practice that involves the convergence of various media pertaining to literate culture, going beyond the printed book. It thus has at its heart a type of subject that adapts and changes constantly according to reading practices. We want to promote reading of the mutant subject, the implementation of mutant reading, activated according to the paradigm of printing capitalism as it grasps and multiplies the implications of the new parameters presented by literate societies of the 21st century.

The Lectura Mutante reading group is a program aimed at activating reading practices around the resonances generated by the interplay between the exhibits, the bodies that pass through them, and the museum’s library. We intend to open up the concept of “reading” until it loses the passive status that ties it to the product-book. We want to deconceptualize reading in order for it to spill beyond its confines and become something more practical, thus arriving at a way of reading that can continuously activate processes, discover resistances and generate open and mutant literate spaces.

We will work in bimonthly sessions based on conceptual itineraries that span the museum’s exhibitions. Our goal is to experience the full potential of a group reading practice understood as a performative and constituent process that operates via relationships with texts.

WHAT’S IN THE F**KIN ‘BOX. A mutant reading attempt

[ADVANCE REGISTRATION REQUIRED]

The sessions will be as follows:

  1. Intro. THE MUTATIONS OF THE BOX
    C1/     We will prepare a box with a bibliographic selection based on the inspirations, suggestions, influences, connections, lines of flight, etc., of the exhibition and we will leave it at the disposal of the participants. You can consult it in the library and even take a copy home, if the library allows it, which you will need to bring the day we meet. (Limited to one copy per participant.).
    C2/ You can expand the box’s selection with library funds if you know of any suitable work, or you can dive into the catalogue and choose a contribution to the selection from magazines, exhibition catalogues, books, DVD’s… Speak to the room staff to have it incorporated into the box.
    C3 / On session days, prior to starting, you can add a personal reference to the box.
  2. Development WHAT’S IN THE F**KIN ‘BOX.
    The session will take place based on the sharing of the selection of works that are in the box. It is not necessary to have consulted the contents of the box prior to each session, since our aim is that the dynamics be a processual reading experience, generated from the very act of sharing.
  3. Mutant memory. TRANSLECTURE
    We will set up a digital platform that serves as a repository for the sessions and functions as a common digital memory of transmedia references. A publication will be created at the end of all sessions using the material available. The mutant reading group is coordinated by Letra Salvaje (David Marote & Víctor Navarrete), a group whose activity is devoted to the emergence or disruption of alternative forms pertaining to the processes of reading, publishing and producing books.

1st SESSION. Mutations based on the exhibition “An exercise in violence. Guillermo Ros”
2nd SESSION. Mutations based on the exhibition “Essays on the crappy. Readings from the Miguel Benlloch Archive”
3rd SESSION. Mutations based on the exhibition “Anna Boghiguian. Sometimes, unexpectedly, the present meets the past”
4ª SESSION. Mutations based on the exhibition ” Zanele Muholi”

The core idea behind Endgame is to survey the painterly grammar of Jordi Teixidor (Valencia, 1941) in the field of abstraction over the course of the last six decades. The show includes early works from his beginnings as a painter within the orbit of the avant-garde art groups Nueva Generación and Antes del Arte, as well as a select number of paintings from the most notable series in his longstanding career set in dialogue with works from the IVAM collection.

In this regard, the exhibition pays special attention to Teixidor’s more recent and previously unseen output while also tracing some of the sources of inspiration behind his experimentation in the field of abstract painting through the inclusion of works by Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt or Juan van der Hamen.

Endgame is rounded off with a series of little-known working material from the artist’s personal archive: notepads and sketch books, polaroids, plans and charts evincing the complex methods employed by Teixidor to carry out his paintings and the numerous exhibitions of his work over the years. Teixidor obsessively explores the very physicity of painting itself, the limits of space and the vibrant tension between geometry and gesturality.

Conversation on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition ‘An exercise in violence’, between the artist Guillermo Ros and Nuria Enguita, curator of the exhibition and director of IVAM.

The entrance to this exhibition is the entrance to the imaginary of Guillermo Ros, of his way of seeing and understanding the art world, of his peculiar analysis of the context in which he (over)lives and works. The room presents an imposed route: the viewer must start his visit on the first floor and climb the stairs to continue on an upper floor. As if it were a video game, we find frozen scenes on two levels, two different environments in which the struggle takes place.

Without a doubt, Gallery 6 of the IVAM is an architecturally complicated room: low ceilings, columns and various imposed elements. But Guillermo Ros has come precisely to fight against these. In this conversation Guillermo Ros will share his initial research, as well as the work processes with which he has faced the museum project.

PRE-REGISTRATION. LIMITED CAPACITY

Advance registration: ivam@consultaentradas.com or by phone 976004973 (Monday to Saturday 9.00am to 8.00pm)

On the occasion of the exhibition Renau in exile IVAM organizes an international seminar that brings together experts and researchers whose lectures will connect with the exhibition in different ways. Some lectures provide a contextualized and broader look at the exile, others focus on Renau’s relationship with other friends and artistic environments, or with the specific creative forms with which Renau worked during his exile (mainly mural painting and photomontage). Without the intention of being exhaustive or conclusive, this seminar intends, however, to open conversations and bring together experts to jointly discuss topics of interest and to emphasize the connection between professional, geographical and linguistic areas.

All the presentations are unpublished, and the intention is to include the research shared in the exhibition and the catalog in the debates. In this way, the seminar pretends to recover the figure of Renau, and explore his life and career. Like this we try to demonstrate his importance in the twentieth century, as well as the relevance of his work today. Aside from the five lectures, the seminar will close with a panel discussion featuring three experts whose primary research on Renau focuses on reviewing his earlier studies, his biography and/or his work from the 1930s. All of this will be analyzed through the retrospective lens of Renau’s exile, and the lessons learned from the exhibition.

PROGRAM:

Ma is a japanese term which has been described as a pause in time, an interval or emptiness in space.

However, in contrast to the sense of emptiness (Mu) the Ma is a conscious space, that space would be full of energy and could induce a state in which it is possible to appreciate the expansion of space and time. In that sense the emptiness of Ma is a space of potentiality.

In this edition, the Radicantes cycle explores the “Ma”. Three artists share with us their own practices of Ma, Carme Torrent, Dd Dorvillier and Quim Bigas. The last one is in the place of the Ma, the middle place, offering a space of relationship and consciousness.They propose three spaces that act as generatrices and blur the limits of things.

For Quim Bigas‘ proposal, a working group of 15 people interested in the body as an instrument of creation will be organized. The group will start in September until the last week of October. It will work together with him, based on the processes and practices of the other two artists and their own imaginary, sharing a context of physical practice that will move between the discursive, the digression and the concrete.

From September 15 to October 4, online sessions as correspondence between participants. During the week of October 4 to 9 and the week of October 25 to 30 the work will be face-to-face from 10 am to 1 pm.

People interested in being part of the working group with Quim Bigas should register at ivam@consultaentradas.com attaching some motivational words.

Registration: actividades@ivam.es

Mechanical and Technical Imaginaries is a new reading from the IVAM collection, through more than 200 artworks, which illustrates the interest of artistic practices in imagining the mechanical conception of the universe by borrowing elements from industrial, scientific and technical procedures, new materials, big inventions or means of transport and communication.

The curator, M.ª Jesús Folch, takes us on a visit to the 10 rooms that make up the exhibition, during which she will bring us closer to the main artistic research that took place throughout the 20th century and will help us to understand the connection between science, art and technology. The exhibition is structured along thematic lines that act as communicating vessels crossing transversely through the rooms. They analyze issues and concepts that arise and reappear in distant chronological times such as the interdependence between technology and corporeality (Umbo, Arturo Ballester or Pere Catála Pic, Gary Hill, Daniel Canogar, Maribel Domenech or Jana Sterback); the interest in new materials and science-based technicalities (Naun Gabo, Cesar Domela, Moholy Nagy, Marcel Duchamp, Soledad Sevilla, Elena Asins, José Mª Yturralde, Pablo Palazuelo); the transition from experimental cinema, overloaded with dynamic montages, to the conceptual practice of the video camera, full of socio-political criticism (Joris Ivens, Jean Mitry, Germaine Dulac, Joan Jonas, Dara Birnbaum, Miralda and Benet Rossell); mechanical imaginaries, mass production methods and industrial landscapes (Germaine Krull, Agustín Jiménez Espinosa, Boris Ignatovich, Joan Cardells, Gabriela Kraviez, Susana Solano, Bernd and Hilla Becher or Thomas Ruff); the treatment of female working conditions (Valentina Kulagina and Natalia Pinus or Inmaculada Salinas);and the visionary machines that connect historical spaces, social situations, natural elements and existentialist concepts (Gilberto Zorio, Ángeles Marco, Fischli & Weis, Gordon Matta Clarck, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle or Carlos Sáez).
