Brutal Ardour. Sound art and experimental cinema

Screening

Before Manuel Huerga became a renowned director of stage, film and television, in 1978, with only 19 years, he made the film "Brutal Ardour" (29:13 min.). It is often said of this film that it is experimental, but unlike what used to happen with the experimental films of the time, in which the soundtrack was circumstantial ―it responded to the musical tastes of the author of the film, with little or no relationship with the film―, however, in the case of "Brutal Ardour", the music used for the soundtrack is not only relevant but also becomes the protagonist element.


The March workshop and the pedagogical tradition in the Valencian neighborhood of Carmen

Texts

With the exhibition “Suspended Places. Revitalizing Urban Identities”, an exhibition organized by LABi (Laboratory of thought, creation and diffusion of the image), integrated by a group of students of the Master in Photography, Art and Technique of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, in collaboration with La Posta Foundation, we have the opportunity to see a series of pieces from the March House-workshop in Mare Vella street; along with works by Pau Figueres and Pepa L. Poquet, in a dialogue that comes to focus attention on the impacts and transformations suffered by the city, little attentive to the life forms that inhabit it; because the March workshop suffers the threat of the pickaxe, for the sake of the progress of the city (the opening of a square at that point is intended, in order to be able to contemplate the remains of the Islamic wall of the city).


Staged looks

Texts

During the past year 2018 Vicente Ponce and Miguel Ángel Baixauli have launched, in collaboration with Sonia Martínez and Nuria Enguita, the program "Images on Images. From cinema to photography", a new way of approaching the enjoyment of images, taking as an argument some exhibitions that have taken place at Bombas Gens Art Center, but the power of the device put into action is of such intensity that it has sufficient entity in itself for us to pay attention to it, independently of the exposures to which it was associated.


the trap that listens to flamenco

Screening

When asking Pedro G. Romero "Is there a counterculture today?" He replies: "There are echoes and mirrors of what, historically, we know as 'the counterculture', perhaps, [in the Spanish case] the Comuna Antinacionalista Zamorana resonates in Espai en Blanc, or Tiqqun in France or Mexico; Ocaña and Nazario are easily transportable to certain forms of queer, or the suburban rumba has the same poetry as the trap that listens to flamenco..."


From the small. Summary season 2017-2018

Crossdressing is Resisting

Screening

Being part of a historically excluded group, such as the LGBTI community, allowed me to understand that in the field of the enforceability of rights there is a resource that is continuously plundered and destroyed: the symbolic imaginary; who conquers it, has managed to gain a large part of the ground, thus, art becomes a strategy and the body becomes a tool.

Emerging workshops and social sculpture

Texts

This spring is dominated in La Posta Foundation by Emerging Workshops [Cyanotype, Color Tune, Psychogeography, ZOMBIE SPACES | SOUTH VALENCIA], all of them coincide in expanding the concept of art ―in some cases the brushes have been literally handed over to the attending public―, and in several of them the public has been taken to the street, to live and reflect on the public space, which had traditionally been considered as the quintessential domain of sculpture.
