The video shows the process of researching and preparing the exhibition "Retrospective" of Suriname-born Dutch artist Norma van Elburg-Jessurun (1938). Includes images of Curaçao, Mexico City, Guatemala, Santiago de Chile and El Moralet, Alicante.

"Exspiravit Mundi" is the result of research carried out at the La Posta Foundation on November 5, 2022 and which is based on the research of Friedrich Jürgenson. It is part of the exhibition of the VidyaLab collective (Iván Albalate and David Trujillo) entitled "Daimonic Encounters", a commitment to go beyond the manifest through the recovery of traditional techniques from the field of the paranormal, using the exhibition space as a field of action, they make contact with the invisible of the place and testify through audio and image everything that remains hidden to us from the most basic human perceptions.

The young filmmaker from Elche Andrea Alborch, with her clean, curious, daring and respectful gaze, has managed to exceed expectations with the making of this essay-documentary short film that we now make available on our website. His debut feature "Seventeen and a half", made as the final project of the Degree in Audiovisual Communication at the Miguel Hernández University, used a slow, simple and markedly generational realistic fiction language, which has earned her his entry into the “Short Films Comunitat Valenciana 2022” of the IVC [Valencian Institute of Cinematography] and its admission to the Cinema Jove and Filmadrid festivals. The passage, therefore, from the fictionalized reality of her first short to the auteur documentary of this second piece, has been a natural transition in which the director demonstrates not only technical solvency but also an admirable capacity for communicative empathy and passionate immersion in the phenomenon to portray.

The most striking thing about Behind the Tin Sheets_presence is the contrast between what you see and what you hear. On the one hand, the images portray the lives of immigrants working on the construction of a subway line in Bangalore (India). And what, in principle, seems like a documentary work on their living conditions and their uprooting, when we start to listen to the audio a displacement occurs that takes us to another state, because we are told stories in the first person that speak of dreams, ghosts and love stories.

Gus van Sant traveled to Rome for a 12-day shoot and in the end 7 episodes of “Ouverture of something that never ended” were recorded. It might seem that it is a strange encounter with Alessandro Michele, but the fact is that there was something foreboding in My Own Private Idaho (1991), the most celebrated film by Gus van Sant, when Mike (River Phoenix) and Scott (Keanu Reeves ) travel to the Italian countryside passing through Rome, in search of Mike's mother

This post is a continuation of the one published in November 2019 "Charley Toorop in the IVAM Valencia and the social realism". In that we refer, to the thread of the comment on the exhibition that was being held at the IVAM at that time Reinventing the representation: Dutch interwar art ―with an abundant presence of works by Charley Toorop―, to the linking of the work of this artist with that of her father Jan Toorop, and now we have to refer to the work of her son John Fernhaut (John Ferno in the credits of the movie The Spanish Earth)

What can be done in the field of art ―a sector so attentive to people's concerns and interests― when we are immersed in a process of change as profound as that represented by the introduction of internet? [only comparable to what the invention of the printing press supposed 500 years ago].

The set of images on display that form the project “Facing them” with Muslim women from Valencia, force the recipient to put their life experience at stake, to inquire inside what is their own meaning in relation to what is watching.

It is often cited as an event that gave rise to the Gay Pride and everything that would come later, the revolt that took place at the Stonewall Inn and in its surroundings, in the Greenwich Village of New York, on June 28, 1969. That was 50 years ago. For that reason, it does not seem a bad idea to dedicate a memory.

On Saturday April 6, within the program of parallel activities carried out within the framework of the exhibition Feminist Plots ―a formulation of the LABi team (a project of the Master in Photography, Art and Technique of the Polytechnic University of Valencia in collaboration with La Posta Foundation)―, we had the opportunity to see a feminist video and installations sample (plus a guided tour), composed of the following works:
