Lope de Vega 22, 28014 Madrid
Guillermo Martin Bermejo & Rosana Antoli - The Carradine Kids, 2012, 1’50″
In reference to David Carradine, and his ‘rugged’ death, pictures of women players by Rosana Antolí seek interaction with the anxious children by Guillermo Martin Bermejo, in a desire to experience and seek together new risky forms of pleasure. It is therefore an ode to the death and resurrection. A mirror of a generation defined not temporarily, but by avoiding sexual games evades, and place the viewer in a voyeuristic position, becoming the observer of the atrocious maneuvers masturbation. The drawings leave the flat support to interact with each other or even with machines, in a romantic at heart scenario, which emphasizes this almost theatrical drama.
The constant search for new experiences through drawing, has joined the career of of artists Antolí Rosana (Spain, 1981) and Guillermo Martin Bermejo (Spain, 1967) in the project “The Carradine’s Kids”.

Elina Talvensaari & Mauro Fariñas - How to pick berries, 2010, 18′ 45”
Economy is stranger than fiction. Visitors from a distance appear hazy in the swamps of northern Finland. The growing concern among the locals – things are changing, they discover the secret places of berries and everything becomes uncomfortable. Who is to blame and who is benefiting from this? “How to pick berries” is an exploration of the Finnish mind and the absurdities of the world economy.
Mauro Fariñas (Madrid, 1982) graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Cuenca in 2005 and earned his MBA at the Art Academy of Helsinki the following year. He has benefited from support from the Youth Institute of the Community of Madrid, Spain and the Photography Council of Finland, among others.

Almale Bondia - Insurmountable, 2010, 3 ́39”
The first step toward an organized space is the definition of a territory. The border is the most basic element in any landscape, which protects and excludes. Controls and the signs assure the surveillance. This piece is at the Spanish-French frontier, between Canfranc and Le Pas d’Aspe, to question the political role of the landscape and challenge the concept of “insurmountable”, title of the video.
Exploring the perceptual mechanisms that build the scenery is the central issue of the common project that in 2002 joined Javier Almale (Zaragoza, 1969) and Jesus Bondia (Zaragoza, 1952). Through photography and video, both artists make work that conceptually and artistically addresses the task of “reinventing the dramaturgy of landscape.”

Limon 28, 28015 Madrid
Linarejos Moreno - Architectural Intersections II, 2011, 50′ loop
The video “Architectural Intersections II” is comprised of 68 high resolution pictures showing action taken by the artist in an abandoned mine at dawn. Inspired by a mechanism of scientific proof of the nineteenth Century, Moreno projects through threads forms of the architectural elements of the building, in its opposite wall. The result is the intersection of these geometric figures in space, some delicate “tunnels of threads” that provides the ruin with a new temporary significance, until the artist makes them disappear. The work is performed like a ritual, slowly cutting the wires and capturing the fall of the fragile fibers. The purpose is supported by the stills taken of slow poses, which dismisses the importance of the human figure as a mere ghostly entity.
Linarejos Moreno (Madrid, 1974) seeks architectures steeped in history to lift them briefly out of their role and turn them into places where the ritual is mixed with the past and its personal memory in a kind of living space open to multiple narratives.

PSJM - Corporate Armies, 2008, 2’44”
As a trailer, “Corporate Armies” anticipates a pattern that simulates the procedures used by the factories of the entertainment market when launching its multimedia products. In this story, made in 3D, describes a world governed by corporations where marketing and totalitarianism unite to create a dystopia. Pursuing the audience in thinking about the fate of global capitalism, once freed from any limitations imposed by democratic institutions.
PSJM artistic team is composed of Pablo San Jose (Mieres, 1969) and Cynthia Viera (Las Palmas, 1973) operating from Berlin. PSJM behaves as a trademark of art posing questions about the work of art on the market, communication with the consumer or function as artistic quality, using communication resources of the spectacular capitalism relevant to the paradoxes produced by its chaotic development.

nadamasmate M. Nogueiras y J. Adan - Without Titles, 2009, 1’55″
The video sets a particular treatment of artist’s desperation to pass into different art scenes, using a humorous tone.

Rivelino Diaz Bernal - The Prophet (Le prophète), 2004, 3 ́24”
A man in Paris crosses the same street corner mechanically for hours, entering into a trance, fight and scream with some being, a prophet who would like to say something, to evasion and indifference of the people.
Rivelino Diaz studies social anthropology, works with video, installation, object, performance and photography, with subjects such as technology and social mores, so critical and ironic. Diaz lives and works in Madrid.

Christoph Girardet & Matthias Müller - Maybe Siam, 2009, 12’20″
“Maybe Siam” is the latest video collage Girardet and Müller. Spinning a web of references, this book is an image of denial in exercise: as an whicn cannot see, black separates film clips capturing blind people in extreme situations of their condition, like bumping against walls and furniture, as if they were imprisoned in hostile situations and unnatural environments.
Girardet and Müller have collaborated successfully in their work “Phoenix Tapes”, a contribution to the notorious senior Alfred Hitchcock and Contemporary Museum of Modern Art in Oxford in 1999. His work has been shown in festivals such as Cannes, Venice and Berlin and has been exhibited in international institutions such asWalker Art Center, Minneapolis, Centre Pompidou, Paris and Deichtorhallen, Hamburg.

Cabello / Carceller - Suite Rivolta, An aesthetic proposal for action, 2011, 13’01″
Two dancers choreograph a composition of three movements in which the textual rhythm and the dance itself act as substitutes for music. The project title derives from the Italian radical movement ofthe 70 “Rivolta Femminile” (led by the art critic and theorist Carla Lonzi) and the free structure of the musical suite. Following the thread of the narrative that drives the action are introduced certain performative elements based on the revolutionary aesthetic and civic movements developed in the streets. The interpretation mixes contemporary dance and Spanish dance, linking expressive instruments coming from different cultural traditions but which show the contradictions in which the contemporary subject moves in the search for a shared language.
Cabello / Carceller is an artistic team composed of Helena Cabello (Paris, France, 1963) and Ana Carceller (Madrid, Spain, 1964). With intellectual influences from feminist and gay contemporary theory, they work in a wide range of media, including video, photography, theater and installations, in addition to writing, lectures and classes - Cabello /Carceller rigorously and independently analyzes and criticizes politics of space and representation mechanisms socially imposed, both conditioned by gender. Cabello / Carceller have had solo exhibitions at the CAAC (Seville) and La Panera (Lleida), and has participated in numerous group exhibitions, as those at the Brooklyn Museum, National Museum of Spain Reina Sofia (Madrid), Museum Serralves (Porto) and CGAC (Santiago de Compostela).

Joanneke Meester - Pregnant, 2004, 2’15”
In a mute silence the character tries to innocently cope with an unwanted pregnancy.
Joanneke Meester (The Netherlands, 1966) studied at the Fine Art Academy and the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. She gained international fame with the pistol that she made from her own skin.

Marta Maria Perez Bravo - A dark path I, 2011, 1’03″
The work of Marta Maria Perez Bravo is part of those speeches in which female body stands in the field of symbolic expression, emphasizing the staged, the performative. Her own body plays a key role in all her work, and becomes the means through which she describes the other, but describing herself as other. This set of dualities introduce us in her eerie and fetishist world, strongly influenced by the ethnographic weight of the Afro-Cuban religion.
Marta Maria lives and works in Mexico DF. She graduated from the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana (1984). Her work has been exhibited at the Museo del Barrio in New York, Museum of Fine Arts in Havana, Centro Galego of Contemporary Art of Santiago de Compostela, Maison de l’Amerique Latine in Paris or the Vienna Kunsthalle, among others. Her photography is part of important collections, such the Spanish National Museum of Contemporary Art Reina Sofia (Madrid), Musée Européenne de la Photographie (Paris), LatinAmerican Art Collection DAROS (Zurich), National Museum and Fine Arts (Havana) , among others.

Marina Abramovic - Breathing in Breathing Out with Ulay, 1978, 16’58”
With their noses blocked with cigarette filters, the artists share their breath desperately depending on each other to survive. The physical fight is visibly tiring, due to inhalation of carbon dioxide.

Pablo Perez Sanmartin - Tired of waiting for the end, 2012, 2′
The animation “Tired of waiting for the end” is a journey through video-games landscapes, posing an activity devoid of purpose or specific direction, turning into an atavistic process of searching for a horizon within this universe built as parallax scroll of classic video games.

Chus Dominguez - Notes on ephemeral. Eslava pension, Pamplona 2010, 2011, 28′
Like a travelogue of the filmmaker’s stay in the pension Eslava, in the old quarters of Pamplona, these “Notes on ephemeral” are filmed like life itself: no turning back, accepting mistakes, peering into fleeting lives that come and go, like notes on the inexorable passage of time.
Chus Dominguez (Leon, 1967) is a visual artist who uses video and film like tools and documentary like language. Works with items straight from reality to build on them narratives are among the documentary, experimental and poetic.

Alexandra Ranner - Silencio Subito, 2010, 12’25”
The work “Silencio Subito” shows a man sitting on a couch listening in the room a soto voce murmur, which he experiences as an overwhelming tumult and shouts“Silence! If I do not have absolutely silent at this time, Silence!” (speaking in a dialect of Bavaria, the artist’s home country). Tension before the explosion and despair that increases his loneliness.
German artist Alexandra Ranner works around spaces that she recreates, following techniques of architectural layout. Photography, video and installation show spaces with little furniture, dense textures and calm silences. Her work is marked by a personal language where minimalist realism and gimmicky baroque live within imaginary spaces, opened to the viewer’s imagination.

Ricardo Calero - Sea flooding, 2001-2011, 4’33”
Using the metaphor of passports “journey”, one of the dramatic realities of today’s society is visualized. This metaphor of the identity also refers to each of our lives, identified by a name and a number.
Much of the artistic work of Ricardo Calero and the poetics of his actions and speeches take place in and on the territory. Calero carries out projects at carefully chosen locations, loading them with symbolism and reflection on art and society.
