Conversation “A minha obra é o meu corpo, o meu corpo é a minha Obra” between Marta Almeida and João Ribas curators of the exhibition “Helena Almeida. Corpus”.
Corpus shows work by the Portuguese artist Helena Almeida, examining what she has done in painting, photography, video and drawing during a period of nearly fifty years. The exhibition will highlight the importance of the body – a record, occupying and defining space – and its performative encounter with the world in Almeida’s work from the mid 1960s to the present day.
Helena Almeida established herself in the 1970s as an important figure in performance and conceptual art and is considered one of the great contemporary Portuguese artists.
She was born in 1934 in Lisbon, which was where she lived and worked, exploring and questioning traditional forms of expression, especially painting, driven by a constant desire to go beyond pictorial limits.
Continuing the activities related to the exhibition “Lost in the City. Urban Life in the IVAM collections”, we present the conversation between José Luis Cueto, Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the UPV and Juan Pedro Font de Mora, Director of the Railowsky Library of Valencia.

Lecture of Avi Mograbi, israeli filmmaker and acticst, organized by the Chair of Artistic Studies. 20th / 21st centuries.
Avi Mograbi
One of Israel’s most celebrated non-fiction filmmakers, Avi Mograbi (b. 1956) specializes in urgent, impassioned diagnoses on the state of the nation, and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular. Mograbi is known for prominently inserting himself into his films as a director and concerned citizen struggling to understand or meaningfully synthesize all that he’s witnessing and filming. Another Mograbi trademark is the shocking eruption of humor in the midst of reflecting on the region’s injustices. Mograbi’s latest film, Z32, returns to a major theme of his previous work and especially Avenge but One of My Eyes (2005): an investigation of the way the military dehumanizes both soldiers and “the enemy” and, by extension, Israeli society as a whole.

The life in images of contemporary culture outruns the (material and immaterial) traditional spaces in which they were entrapped in the past, even the recent past. Their genres and registers, their ambits of circulation, their ceaseless migrations give the impression of offering a previously unknown experience of the real at the same time as, in an apparent paradox, they display a not in the least feigned technological pride.
Nevertheless, however much studies of the History of Art, Fine Arts, Journalism and Audiovisual Communication have attempted to adapt to the demands of this state of affairs, the lability of the borders between creation and reflection, technology and art, the media and the collective imaginary, among others, requires more ductile ambits of reflection and debate than those to be found in university studies and traditional research. On the other hand, unlike classical philology, palaeography, the exegesis of written texts and the image still presents an imbalance between its (emotional, conceptual, political, memory-based) impact and the instruments provided to analyse it.
The aim of Cátedra Estudios Artísticos, arising from the collaboration between the University of Valencia, the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the IVAM, will consist in encouraging this reflection about the life of images both in the world of art and in social life, including imaginary. It will do so broadmindedly, avoiding academic, artistic or technological restrictions, but, nevertheless, thriving on and taking advantage of all the academic, museum-based and institutional aids at its disposal. For that reason, the fact that it is held at the IVAM is propitious because it can enrich its activities with the reflection about exhibitions, installations or lectures, and also the series of projections.

Curatorial statement_Witnesses of the City
The certainly of witness is that they have seen and experienced GAT they tell. Social, political and cultural activists are well aware of this kind of testimony and credible evidence. They have fought against much more powerful mechanisms that have tried from different power dimensions to deny, deter, pre-empt, join their critical and transformative proposals. In many cases, these changes tried to prevent an unnecessary, untimely and, almost always, impertinent change, that would hide other interests away from their visible approaches. That is, they have symbolized a direct confrontation between what is experienced as the reality by citizens and institutional parapet built as fictitious and generated by leaders.
This documentary exhibition is displayed at Library’s exhibition room at the IVAM. It try to extract some of the most significant examples of activist society, politics and culture with the aim of drawing a timeline, inextricably linked to stories constructed by themselves, along these more than forty years. It brings together posters, brochures, documents and photographs of demands groups such as El llit del Túria ES Nostre i el volem VERD, El Saler per al Poble, Salvem el Botànic, El Casal de la Dona, Per l’horta de La Punta, Salvem Cabanyal-Canyamelar, Abusos Urbanísticos No, Xúquer viu, the birth of Colectivo Lambda or Asociación de Víctimas del metro de Valencia del 3 de julio de 2006.
