   Guerra (Amposta, 1965) es doctor en Bellas Artes por la Universitat de Barcelona (UB) y profesor de Estructuras Sociales y Tendencias Culturales en la Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), y desde 2009 ha dirigido La Virreina Centre de la Imatge de Barcelona.

FESTIVAL AP'ART

DU 7 JUILLET AU 17 AOÛT 2011 Art Cade participe au Festival Ap'Art à St Rémy de Provence. Les oeuvres de Jean Baptiste AUDAT sont encore visibles jusqu'à samedi, demain. Puis à partir de lundi 1er août, vous pourrez découvrir le travail de Sophie BELLOT et Samuel GRATACAP, dans le cadre du Pôle dédié à la Jeune Création, à l'Ecole de la République à St Rémy. Le 5 août, nous vous convions à la conversation "Autour de la jeune création" Intervenants : Jean Marc FERRARI ( Directeur de l'Ecole d'Art d'Avignon) Anne-Marie PECHEUR ( artiste et Présidente de l'Association Art Cade à Marseille), Linda SANCHEZ (artiste), Hélène LALLIER ( chargée de programmation pour les Châteaux de la Drôme). Pour sa seconde édition, le Festival APART a créé un pôle consacré à la jeune création. Discussions autour des moyens mis à la disposition de ces artistes pour développer et exposer leurs travaux. Les artistes du pôle de la jeune création seront présents pour témoigner de leur expérience. ________________________________________________________________________________________ ARTS PSYCHOACTIFSEXPOSITION DU 23 JUIN AU 27 AOÛT 2011 La galerie des Grands Bains Douches de la Plaine présente « ARTS PSYCHOACTIFS », un ensemble d'oeuvres, de documents, de films sur le thème des rapports entre les arts plastiques et les produits psychotropes. Hors de tout jugement moral, de prise de position socio-juridique ou d'interprétation psychologique prédéterminés, nous proposons des exemples, évidemment non-exaustifs, de rapprochements entre les processus créatifs et l'utilisation de divers produits à effets psychodynamiques. Avec : Aurèle, Barrus, Briand, Berdaguer-Pejus, Charbonnier, de vries, Hains, Limone, Menini, Foucault, Perpère, Rochette-Brevet, Shrigley, Wise... documentations : affiches psychédéliques, Baudelaire, Charcot, Cocteau, Dali, Gysin, Michaux, Ouin, Saint-Laurent, Shelton, Post, Witkiewicz... Ces quelques « extraits » sont choisis dans le large corpus d'oeuvres et de documents qui jalonnent l'histoire récente des humains dans leurs rapports avec les modificateurs du psychisme, naturels ou désormais synthétisés par l'homme lui-même. Si ces derniers ont servi à certains artistes de déclencheurs de créativité, de vecteurs de voyage vers des « folies », s'ils ont été parfois non maîtrisés ou producteurs de souffrances, il est toujours permis à chacun d'en apprécier les conséquences dans le champ esthétique ici présenté.

Shaping a Collection. An interpretation of the Fundación Botín Collection 5 July–18 September 2011  Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola Santander, Spain www.fundacionbotin.org  Five major Spanish artists and six international ones confront each other in curator Carmen Giménez's interpretation of the Botín Foundation's Art Collection in the summer exhibition at the Foundation's venue in the centre of Santander, Spain. The exhibition consists of 17 pieces by the artists: ⎯ Miroslaw Balka (Warsaw, 1958) ⎯ Mona Hatoum (Beirut, 1952) ⎯ Jannis Kounellis (Peiraias, Greece, 1936) ⎯ Antoni Muntadas (Barcelona, Spain, 1942) ⎯ Juan Muñoz (Madrid, 1953 - Ibiza, Spain, 2001) ⎯ Juan Navarro Baldeweg (Santander, 1939) ⎯ Gabriel Orozco (Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, 1962) ⎯ Julião Sarmento (Lisbon, Portugal, 1948) ⎯ Thomas Schütte (Oldenburg, Germany, 1954) ⎯ Santiago Serrano (Toledo, Spain, 1942) ⎯ Juan Uslé (Santander, Spain, 1954) When the Botín Foundation's Art Collection became specialized in contemporary art in 1993, it did so with the aim of reflecting the work being done in this field by the Foundation. Accordingly, the Collection contains works of art by the leaders—internationally acclaimed artists—of the art workshops that are held annually in Villa Iris, and by the artists who have been awarded one of the Foundation's Visual Arts Grants. Together they form a plural mosaic of concepts and disciplines that, thanks to a wide range of different artistic generations and approaches, is a testament to the art of our times. Today the Collection is growing, as are the projects of the Foundation, whose sights are now set on the future Botín Art Centre in Santander. Thus, the Collection is being expanded, contextualized and complemented by adding artists from the same generation who are seen as essential for understanding and completing the vision of the Foundation's Art Collection and its future project. Together with the other works of art in the Collection, these are the fundamentals on which the Foundation will build its future, a future bound to the new Botín Art Centre whose activities and programme will seek to attract and support talent as the main force behind the development of society. The art critic Francisco Calvo Serraller has written the text for this exhibition catalogue. In it, he explains how this summit of artists reveals what is occurring in art today. Short video of the exhibition From the 5th July to the 18th September 2011. At the Botín Foundation's Venue, Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola, Santander. Spain. Daily opening hours, 11.00 to 14.00 and 17.00 to 21.30. Entrance free.
