Espronceda – Institute of Art and Culture is pleased to present the exhibition “Sustainable Views”, curated by IF – Imagine the Future, based on the homonymous open call (Dove lo Getto)
\naddressed to artists active in the field of video art and interested in offering a vision creative on the theme of environmental and social sustainability. The project was born thanks to the collaboration between International Istitutions: Turin, Biella (Italy) and Barcelona (Spain): Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto, PAV – Parco Arte Vivente, Espronceda – Institute of Art & Culture, Ok Bio, IF.<\/p>\n

The \u201cSustainable Views\u201d exhibition is presented as one of the prizes offered to the winning artists of the open call, to which the collaborating bodies have decided to support eight other artists deemed worthy of exposure. The intention to enhance those works of video art and virtual reality that show a profound reflection on the theme of sustainability. The artists, each with their own creative and expressive language, through their works intend to raise awareness on the theme of environmental and social sustainability through different approaches: critical, utopian or proactive. The works on display thus offer a broad reflection on climate change, on the need for responsible recycling, on the safeguarding of the natural ecosystem and on a post human, zoegalitarian and ecofeminist vision of the future. In this era characterized by anthropocentrism and urgent climatic crises, art assumes more than ever an important educational and ethical role through which to read the current environmenta history and at the same time become a form of profound expression, an engine of awareness and change, to lead to the emergence of resilient behaviors towards current ecological problems.<\/p>\n

The author of Bottlefield was awarded the UNIDEE Residency, promoted by Cittadellarte – Pistoletto Foundation, one-week art residency; the authors of Against the Tide, on the other hand, will receive the Workshop Award, promoted by Parco Arte Vivente, which includes participation in a workshop conducted by the artists featured in the PAV art program, with the presentation of their work at the Parco Arte Vivente. The two winning works, together with the honorable mention Overlayed Symbiosis by Giovanni Chiamenti, are presented at Espronceda, Institute of Art & Culture in Barcelona and at Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto on October 30 on the occasion of Arte al Centro.<\/p>\n

\"\"Marta Ciolkowska – BOTTLEFIELD (Winner)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humans have used weapons for too many years to kill each other. But it seems that they have adopted, more and more in recent years, another invention born to help people in their common life: plastic. A material that has turned out to be a weapon, even more powerful than bombs and guns, a “plague” that slowly affects the whole of humanity. In the “Bottlefield” video, we find ourselves underwater, as if we are swimming and looking up at the sky, when suddenly we begin to see bottle caps, vigorously landing on the surface of the water. Just like real bombs, the scene gradually fills with plastic caps, which (increasingly) restrict the view and reduce the last rays of sunlight that penetrate through them. We hear a frantic noise, then a loud crash that makes the imposing plastic mass move towards the bottom, when immediately after we see a hand rummaging in the pile of bottle caps that descends more and more to the bottom dragging us to the surface. With the video “Bottlefield” important questions are posed to which the human being must necessarily answer and find, with diligent care and actions, valid solutions to avoid their disappearance and definitive extinction.<\/p>\n

Marta Ciolkowska has a Masters in Interior Design from the Strzemi\u0144ski Academy of Fine Arts in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a (Poland). She deals with graphics, sculpture, video and installation. She had the opportunity to collaborate with Polish and Italian artists such as Piotr Janowski, Marinella Senatore, Alosha, Francesco Di Giovanni. She is present in numerous catalogs and publications of exhibitions and artistic events.<\/p>\n

\"\"Giovanni Chiamenti, OVERLAYED SYMBIOSIS (Special Mention)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOverlayed Symbiosis\u201d reflects on the role and behavior of man within his ecosystem, as an entity determined by a dynamic and complex system of relationships and interdependencies, starting from the concept of \u201csympoiesis\u201d analyzed by Donna Haraway. Human beings as compost must coexist and coexist with other earthly creatures by making relatives, that is, establishing symbiotic bonds that could be useful in regenerating the fracture with nature caused by them. Compost means worldliness. Not everyone carries the same weight within it, there are those who are more responsible than others in this incessant work of composition-decomposition. To live together on our planet we do not need antagonism but rather tuning; no tunnel vision but rather multifocality; no alienation but rather symbiosis. There is no longer a distinction between host and parasite.<\/p>\n

Giovanni Chiamenti holds a master’s degree in painting from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. He has exhibited in several group exhibitions in Italy and abroad and has participated in workshops with international artists including Jorge Peris and Mathieu Bernard-Reymond. In 2018 he was in residenc at the School of Visual Arts in New York and among the finalists of the Francesco Fabbri Prize for Contemporary Arts. In 2019 he inaugurated his first solo exhibition at spazioSERRA (Milan, IT). In 2021 he was ranked second in the Exibart Prize and inaugurated two solo exhibitions in the spaces of the Daniele Agostini Gallery (Lugano, CH) and the Marrocco Gallery (Naples, IT).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
