Armando will depict the reality of the residence and the impact with local people and the environment where it happens. He recorded images for the film which will be the promotion of the region and the residency worldwide. " In September 2010, I visited the Valencian Community. In this occasion was a studies' trip to present my project for the grade of Specialisation in Cinematographic Innovation and Development of Projects at the International University of Valencia. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience. However, the real discovering started when a friend of mine and companion of studies, the journalist Xavier Latorre, invited us to visit the city of Castellón and its surroundings, Vilafamés, the Natural Parc of Penyagolosa, among other treasures in the area. The impact with the eco-system was…

‘here-NO-W-here’ is a project inspired in the transitory link between human being, water and the notion of place. She has worked within the limits between visible and invisible with the local population; the process itself and the final result has been presented in two places, one invisible part (buried in a close place) and a visible part placed in the Font de Dalt, because is one of the few places with current water which currently emanates from the interior of the mountain. This sculptural result contains histories of the present in one eco-system that will be altered along the time. [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id="12" gal_title="Seila Fernández"] SEILA FERNÁNDEZ BIO

NEST Habitation is a nomadic performative site-specific installation project that involves the study of local site. I travel around the world to built a nesting structure around my body using local materials in public. Each piece will response to local natural environment, architecture, history, and urban development. I have been an active interdisciplinary artist for over 10 years. rough my career, my focus and media went through several stages: from self-exploration (inward) to living condition (outward); and from representative to presence. Since early 2016, I started a new performance piece as part of my everyday life. The collective theme in my work has been about border. No matter it is the border of a tangible space, spiritual realm, social or political territory, the boundary is constantly influx and always being…

WOODEN CUBE The Land Art intervention, represents a "metaphysical enclave". The visitor is invited to interact with the piece constituted by 4 wooden elements which symbolise the 4 corners of an imaginary cube. In geometry the cube represents a closed figure. In this case, the 4 sculptures, permit to draw up a space of a squared plant without barriers, consenting in this way the visitor to pass across in 4 different ways. Wooden Cube dialogue with the meaning of Enclave and give the viewer the possibility to reflect about the differences between close and open space, in and out, ourselves and the others. These conflicts are now more than ever contemporary, overall in front of several strong impacting issues such are economical crisis, religious conflicts and the important phenomena of…

WIND TOWER Currently she is much interested in such structures as Wind Towers, Dovecots and Pottery kilns – the sort of buildings not much in evidence in our modern world. Enclave for her means something enclosed and separate from normal streets and houses. It is quite small, a shelter, perhaps private and inaccessible, a refuge and a place of safety for some minority group. An enclave seems slightly exotic, standing apart from normal everyday society. Her ideas for an artwork could use material from the well known Ceramics Industry of the region of Valencia and Vistabella. The red clay products such as bricks and roof ceramic tiles are much in evidence and would be ideal when used with mortar for building the walls, using traditional materials but in a new…

PAPAVER RHOEAS Andrea's project wants to hybridise the artistic practice with other experiences, mainly derivate by the observation of the landscape and small landscapist architecture. From these perspectives, his research was focused in the analysis of the surrounding landscape in order to detects the primary groups (woods, forestall environments etc...) uncontaminated by human activity, the residues (all the territorial portions not used by the human being, because they have been abandoned or have a difficult access etc...) and the secondary landscapes (which represent the geographical correspondence to the no-places of Marc Augé urban and suburban). The finality of the project consists in creating an environmental installation destined to determinate a small reserve, a Democratic Refugee, a place for the species which don't find space in other places: some of them…

ESSENTIALLY SAP Over the centuries we have suffered an increased/decreased development regarding consumption and social values. The human being in his contemporaneity has "collided" with their own moral responsibilities, forgetting that civil ethics are part of every single person who, intentionally or unintentionally, is related to each other and to the earth. Modern life has brought a lot of apparent wellbeing but in reality, there is crushing us slowly right in the absence of critical consciousness that is no longer part of our daily lives. Based on the thought of the sociologist and theorist of emotional intelligence Edgar Morin, my research is strongly linked to the nature of work, the man and his behaviour as well as its shortcomings. My project idea was to play a vascular system that being…

'SINTESI' His work has been made by thick thread and want to discuss about a social issue that involve contemporary precariousness and identity. A geometric spider's web symbolises human being’s hand depicted suspended among the trees which are its support. Leonardo tries to represent the symbiosis between human being and nature with the possibility of coexist without invade or degenerate it.
