Después de Usted es un proyecto de carácter colaborativo que surge con el fin de estrechar lazos entre los distintos procesos creativos de dos grupos: LaTejedoraCCEC , Valencia y Piso ,actualmente con sede en Berlín.
Después de usted es un proyecto bilateral, que se alimenta la distancia de estos dos colectivos, para unirse en una misma propuesta que culminará en un mismo proyecto expositivo, ubicado primero en Valencia y luego en Berlín.

La ficha técnica, inseparable de la institución museística, se convierte en ejercicio práctico para el artista. Se trata pues, de que a partir de las cartelas definidas por la obra de los artistas de LaTejedoraCCEC, los otros, Piso, hagan otras obras atendiendo a las indicaciones expuestas en dichas cartelas.

Después de usted!! parte de la idea de cadáver exquisito, donde el contrario conteste, termine y objete al nombramiento de un título, aportando la concreción explícita en una deriva condicionada por una cartela dictada y enviada, subviertiendo el orden del proceso creativo. En la edición de Berlín los artistas de Piso serán los que propondrán las cartelas, recibidas ahora por LaTejedoraCCEC, exponiéndose las 22 piezas en Atelier Matador Kantine en Berlín.

This project could be seen as the example proving why territorial curation is nonsense nowadays. 23 artists and critics of different nationalities participate in this project developed in three different cities: New York, Paris and Valencia.

These artists mainly produce on these three cities, but their nationalities are quite different: Argentinean artists who live in New York, Paris or Valencia, others with Spanish nationality producing in New York or Paris etc. Neither the nationality nor the location of the exhibitions and roundtables that will take place during the project aren’t, absolutely, the main concept or pillar structuring it.

The project emerges from the need to give visibility to artists and their artwork in a period in which international exhibitions are losing their sense and power. Due to the economic recession that is affecting most of the Occidental world, organisms and institutions tend to withdrawal towards local or domestic projects simply because there is not enough money to bring exhibitions from abroad. Nevertheless, another kind of visibility is possible.

An exhibition that fits into a suitcase, that is the concept upon which the Heavy Duty project develops. Cristina Ghetti, director of the Red Nomade project and independent curator and Todd Rosenbaum, director of New York’s gallery The Hogar Collection, have made this selection of artists. In each of these three cities there will be an exhibition with works by invited artists. Simultaneously, various critics and artists, together with the participant artists, will hold meetings and roundtables where this situation will be discussed; as well as the necessity to create more projects of this nature in order to enhance the encounter, gathering and confrontation of discussions as cultural reflections.

Needless to say, apart from this triggering concept, the project implies much more; such as the necessity and reflection of confronting contemporary artistic points of view between artists of different nationalities who produce all over the world, or to reflect upon the journey and the suitcase seen as a double learning, beginning with the environment and ending in oneself: we are all potential postcards. In the transits we realize of the position we occupy and to what extent are our limitations inherited.

Forja Arte Contemporáneo, host of the exhibition in Valencia, together with Red Nomade, La Zona Red Hook Art Show, New York’s host and La Fundación Argentina Ciudad Universitaria, host in Paris, have combined their efforts in order to enhance these encounters where each artist has its own space but at the same time participates on a group conception.

et in arcadia ego

Rob Carter, Christoph Draeger, Chus Garcia-Fraile, Carlos Irijalba, Patrick Nilsson, J. G. Zimmerman

Curated by Blanca de la Torre and Juanli Carrión.

April 25th - 23rd May, 2009

Reception: Saturday, April 25th, 6 - 8pm

Thornton Room, 150W 25th Sreet, New York, NY 10001

Located in a photographic Studio in Chelsea, Thornton Room completes the cycle of thinking, making, producing and showing. Marked with an interdisciplinary character, Thornton Room will start its trajectory at the end of April 2009 with a space having the feeling of an exhibition hall, the essence of a project room and the flavor of a gallery.

For the opening and under the title ET IN ARCADIA EGO, curated by Blanca de la Torre and Juanli Carrión, Thornton Room presents a group show encompassing an international selection of artists working with video, photography and drawings.

The works included represent the classic natural/artificial dichotomy taken to the extreme. Here man’s “iron hand” is evident, for with the development and advance of technological societies, there has been an accompanying loss of the natural.

The works depict a degeneration of the landscape - a landscape made ill by a contaminated human touch - or perhaps simply as an unmeant byproduct of the new systems we inhabit, where past and future melt and it’s hard to distinguish between what is real and what illusion. Images powerfully display the condition of natural life bowing down under the weight of humans building a dystopian society, destroying in the process our lyric landscape. Riveting pictures of an askew world, created while those who dreamed of creating an ecologically sound society, were overshadowed by the ambition and desires of the so-called developers.
