International Home Movie/Video Day is celebrated tomorrow at DA2
The events will begin at half past six with a concert-performance, and at eight, 'The Best of the Day 2015' will be screened, a compilation of home movies and videos deposited by Salamanca filmmakers.
For the sixth consecutive year, DA2 will host the commemorative events for International Home Movie/Video Day, which is celebrated tomorrow. Starting at half past six in the evening, there will be a concert-performance by Hugo Alonso, in which he experiments with the sound possibilities of the domestic. The sound he works with comes from nocturnal field recordings and sounds of forgotten objects.
At seven in the evening, there will be a meeting with Gregorio Méndez and Julia Gründler, Super8 film collectors.
And at eight in the evening, 'The Best of the Day 2015' will be screened, a compilation of home movies and videos deposited by Salamanca filmmakers such as: Enrique Serrano Martín, Francisco Martín García, Alejandro Ruano Rubio, or Manuel Arévalo, among others.
Exhibition 'Artists' Home Videos 2015'
Also at DA2, until January 10, the third edition of the exhibition 'Artists' Home Videos 2015' will be on display, featuring Chechu Álava, José María Benéitez, Carlos Ceesepe, Eugenio Merino, and Silvia Prada, and curated by Carlos Trigueros. In this exhibition, these artists step out of their studio practice to delve into the vicissitudes of the screen. Most of these videos can be seen as an extension of their work, either as a process of contemporary sketching, exploration of space, or merely trivial situations.
The premise that activated this project, to demonstrate that 'artists are also human,' is perfectly fulfilled through the exhibition of these home videos by five artists with very different trajectories and objectives, belonging to different generations, and who would hardly coincide in the same exhibition, except for this reason. Different perspectives on everyday matters that distinguish themselves from other home productions by addressing themes that are somewhat unorthodox in the genre. Examples that any visitor could take to develop their own home videos, and in this way, the ultimate goal of the exhibition would be met: that anyone can become an artist.
