The World Explained
9 December
2011 until 11 March 2012
Park Hall,
Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam
‘Our view of the world consists to a large
extent of suspicions, makeshift connections and personal interpretations.’
Erick Beltrán
From 9 December 2011 Mexican artist Erick
Beltrán presents the art project The
World Explained. Since September 2011, Erick Beltrán and a team of young
anthropologists began interviewing residents of Amsterdam, assembling the results in a
contemporary encyclopaedia. You can see the results of these interviews until
11 March 2012 in the Park Hall of Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam.
For the occasion, Park Hall, Tropenmuseum, will
be refurnished as a live print workshop: here visitors are interviewed and
selected stories are printed on three printers. In Tropenmuseum you can view
the 32-page volume of the latest theories.
Three
editions: Amsterdam, São
Paulo and Barcelona
Before this edition, Erick Beltrán produced
volumes of The World Explained in São Paulo (2008) and Barcelona
(2009). You can also see the personal theories he collected there, compare Amsterdam’s mentality with that of São
Paulo and Barcelona.
When the exhibition finishes, the three editions will be combined to form a
single complete volume.

Antoni
Muntadas
Warning:
Perception requires involvement
National Centre for Contemporary Arts
Moscow
2 - 25 December, 2011
Antoni
Muntadas (Barcelona, 1942) is
one of the first artists who started to use new technologies in
the visual arts and make artistic exploration of virtual space. He
has always concerned, over the years, about critical rethinking of
ideology, historical memory and political power structures, cultural
industries, different social contexts, and interaction between public and
private spaces. Muntadas defines his artistic position as one of “an
interpreter of images of what is happening in the world today” and who seeks
“to identify what most often remains invisible.”
The
exhibition of Muntadas' works is composed of two parts. His new project “On
Translation:
Stand by: Moscow”
specially produced for Moscow and about Moscow is accompanied by a survey of
his works. The survey part of the exhibition presents projects from 1970s
to 1990s. (The Last Ten Minutes - II, 1977; Video Is Television? 1989; The
Limousine Project, 1990; Portrait, 1994; La Siesta, 1995, etc.), as well as a
series of his recent artworks, united under the title “On Translation.” The
series “On Translation” is devoted to re-interpretation of social, political
and cultural processes. The aim of the project is to attract the viewer's
attention to the critical issues and conflicting phenomena in the contemporary
environment.
The photo series "On
Translation: Stand by: Moscow,” which was created specially for the Moscow
exhibition, continue the cycle
of projects "Stand by" represented by the author in
various parts of the world. Looking at the people crowding or standing in queue
and waiting for something, the artist explores, in his own words, “modern urban
rituals”. The transformation of such a unique social and cultural phenomenon as
the Soviet and post-Soviet queue is traced by Muntadas with the material of
archival photographs, which are of no less importance in the project than the
shooting on location.
The title
of the exhibition, repeating the slogan of one of the artist's works, stresses
that Antoni Muntadas' projects require the viewer not to give in to passive
observation but to be a critical and attentive participant.

Fernando
Prats
Fundació Miró, Barcelona
01.12.2011 – 08.01.2012
Fernando Prats - El
nacimiento del mundo II, 1925 – 2011
"Hace años me rondaba la
idea de trasladar una obra de Joan Miró al lugar más extremo del planeta, una
acción que ha adquirido sentido en la Antártida"
Fernando Prats nos cuenta así
el origen de su instalación en el patio del olivo de la Fundació con motivo de
las fiestas navideñas. El artista viajó a la base chilena Arturo Prat, ubicada
en la isla Greenwich, en la Antártida, con una bandera de explorador que
reproducía el dibujo preparatorio que Joan Miró realizó para su obra El
nacimiento del mundo, 1926. En un claro homenaje al artista catalán, Fernando
Prats quiso poner de manifiesto el esfuerzo de los espíritus creadores para
conquistar terrenos indómitos e inexplorados de la conciencia humana. Su acción
en la Antártida, recogida en un video, pone de manifiesto de una forma literal
la dificultad extrema que implica alcanzar ciertos territorios y dimensiones.

Figuras del amateur
Coloquio y performance de los artistas Erick Beltrán
y Bernardo Ortiz
Jueves 24 de noviembre
2011, de 8h45 a 18h
Amphithéâtre Descartes – ENS de Lyon
15, parvis René Descartes, Lyon 7e (Metro
Debourg)
Entrada libre
Este
coloquio, organizado dentro de la 11 Bienal de Lyon, interroga entorno a la
figura del amateur que pone en cuestión la transmisión del saber artístico. Los
debates acercan las cuestiones ligadas a las categorizaciones, a los
compromisos y a las instituciones. ¿Es necesario aprender en una escuela para
llegar a ser artista? ¿Es suficiente presentar trabajos en un contexto estético
para ser reconocido como artista? Esta jornada se centrará en performances de
artistas, invitados a recontextualizar su desarrollo y a perturbar las modalidades
sociales del coloquio a partir de hechos ficcionales que aparecen como
efectivos. Se tratará pues de la immersión del público y los participantes en
la ambivalencia de su propio objeto de estudio: ¿qué se representa?
