The exhibition “Collective in the white cube“, in the seat of La Posta Foundation, has allowed us to experience the work of Left Hand Rotation, SomosNosotros, Cinematrueque and Paupac Azul envelope and to some extent matteric. After the exhibition you can continue to enjoy these on the web, otherwise through the plasma or LCD monitor, a typical digital experience, other than with respect to the result provided by the projection of images on a reflective surface, even accompanied by documentary material registered actions -as was the case of “Overcome the barrier“ by Left Hand Rotation- or adopting a sculptural form and thereby encouraging a certain reification of the image -as occurred in the case of “Nothing to gain, nothing to lose” by SomosNosotros-. However, the most important difference between the viewing of images on the “white cube” and the computer screen, not unlike the physical aspects -such as occurs with respect to the quality of light-, but that has more relevance the different phenomenology that characterizes each of these experiences. While viewing the “white cube” it occurs in a crowded public space, in the case of viewing on the computer screen this occurs in the privacy of the private room (the paradigmatic case would be the room teen).

After being selected in the last call for Hamaca and included in National Museum Art Center Reina Sofía funds, presented for the first time in Valencia this work in our room will be shown in its “sculptural” version. SomosNosotros (García Fernández) shows through loud and grotesque staging a montage made from numerous interviews, a process included in the “AAER” project. It combined the answers given by different artists to show job instability, the loophole of the figure of the artist as a worker, abuses and excesses by different entities, the significance of the field of “emerging art”, null fees artist and the distortion of immaterial labor.
