Entropic landscapes. Exhibition. Public participation process

Collaborations

This exhibition is part of the Workshop on Entropic Landscape (2nd ed.), which was held from mid-April to May 2024. Throughout the workshop, guided field visits were carried out, always on foot, an option that favors the careful observation of the landscape, in order to study the entropic landscapes that the city of Valencia and its surroundings offers us. Among the routes carried out are: Faitanar-Sociópolis-La Torre; from the Colón metro station to the Entrada del Francés in a straight line; the new channel of the Turia river; and El Perellonet.


Public participation process: the plan

Presentations

Within the framework of the Workshop on Entropic Landscape (2nd ed.), which has been held since mid-April, on day 9 that took place on Monday, May 6, the program stated that we would carry out a “sharing of all experiences during guided tours; projection of images, those taken by the participants; sample of the records carried out; presentation by the participants of proposals for exposing the results of the analyzes carried out on the landscapes”; and about the exhibition, it is said a little later: “The result of the perspective of the participants in the workshop will be shown, on the entropic landscapes studied in guided field visits, with the aim [simulated, because it is an exercise practical], to encourage a process of public participation, as required by the administrative procedures for the declaration and organization of “Historic Sites” and “Cultural Landscapes”, where each participant will show their concerns and respond to the objective of the workshop”. Well, this day concluded with the definition of a complete public participation plan, which is indicated below, to be followed in the coming dates, and on Thursday, June 20, the exhibition was inaugurated in the showcase space of the UPV Editorial, located next to the University Agora.


TARQUÍN/ Gender: Mud

Performance

TARQUIN is silt deposited in the fields by floods. It is the mud that appears on the edges of the rice fields, moldable and soft, a fusion of water and earth with nutrients in different states of decomposition. It takes us to a unique range of textures and colors, giving the Albufera irrigation ditches a framed yet wild dimension. It is a bordering space between the sea and two fresh waters, with ravines and boulevards around it.


PLEASE TOUCH. CaSO4.2H2O. Raul Leon-Mendoza

Conferences

Generally at exhibitions we usually find signs that say “Please don't touch”. However, in the case of Raúl León Mendoza's exhibition CaSO4.2H2O, it is necessary for the public to touch and hold the works on display with their hands. Because it is not just about shapes and colors, but you must also appreciate the weight and texture of the different materials used


Graphic work and publishing house

Conferences

Within the framework of the exhibition "Oh secret voice of dark love", with works by Jesús Martínez Oliva, Mili Hernández will be with us on Friday, November 17 at 7:00 p.m. In the context of illustrating written texts, editorial work appears to be particularly relevant. For this reason we have invited the editor, the person who founded, together with other partners, FLORES RARAS, to share with us the experience of an adventure such as publishing books, and, in particular, illustrated books, an experience that Added to the bookstore, as a whole, are some work experiences that we think can be enormously useful for the LGTBIQ+ group.


“In the abyss of my mind”. Video & Colloquium

Performance

Manuela Trasobares is a painter, sculptor, fallera artist, opera singer and the first transgender councilor in Spanish politics. The artist has a prolific and varied artistic work, framed in the most transgressive contemporary art, which would well deserve a retrospective. All of her work has an artistic background committed to the fight for social justice, equality and the Republic. This work shares with the first book of her Will to Power a combative attitude mixed with the truth and reality of the artist herself.
