Summary:: Javier Arbizu presents, after a period of residence at the Center, the curatorial project “Talud mediodía”, within the framework of the Komisario Berriak program. A proposal showing what the works of artists have in common, whose practices are related to ideas of light and convergence.
“Talud mediodía” project dialogues with the Centre programme, particularly with the live and visual arts. The proposal also makes artists visible in different contexts, besides having in common many of the different work processes in programme linked to creation support programmes carried out in Lantegia. Laboratory of ideas.
Description:: As part of the Komisario Berriak programme driven by the Basque Government Culture and Linguistic Policy Department, Arbizu’s work begins with the dismantling of an iconic place in Bilbao, namely the Amusement Park of Artxanda, thus recovering the images of ‘slope’ and ‘midday’ to deal with the ideas of continuity and simultaneity from a sculptural and performative perspective. A place (slope, an inclination applied to lands so they support each other) and a moment in time (midday, when the sun is at its highest in the sky, marking its ascent and descent in relation to the horizon dividing the day into two), are the initial images to start drifting and exploring how to adapt Pacomio and Bestué’s proposals to the Azkuna Zentroa context. According to curator Javier Arbizu: "My role as a curator will be: listening to, accompanying, looking after and endeavouring to understand the artists from the perspectives of their practices. To accompany an exhibition as it takes shape, in the way it’s done and thinking but taking small steps. In the confidence among artists, curator and institution; and just simply being together"
