Puertas de Castilla Center presents its new programming betting on audiovisual installations, film, photography and creativity for its offer from October to December.
Last year 2013, the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) announced the acquisition of seven new pieces for its collection of design and architecture, and it was not a contemporary painting or sculpture;
it was about six video games and a console.
Classic pieces that have marked an era like, Space Invaders (1978), Asteroids (1979), or Yar's Revenge (1982).
ATARI thus becomes the first installation proposed by Puertas de Castilla to meet this pioneer of videogame technology, which since 1972 has revolutionized the entertainment industry and given birth to the modern video game industry.
The company created recreational games, home consoles and personal computers in order to entertain millions of people.
With the idea of ​​projecting into the players' imaginations magical worlds associated with this new generation of video games, Atari hired a team of talented artists and designers to decorate the cartridges, boxes and ads with amazing illustrations.
A worlds of science fiction, sports and adventures that helped turn all those classic games into art.
ATARI, the 18-minute audiovisual piece that can be seen until the end of December, vindicates that video games are fundamental to understand the current interactive art and wonders why a game can not be the reaction of its creators to the world.
The center elevator becomes the central axis of the sound system UNIDENTIFIED DEEP SEA SOUNDS;
a work that develops trying to create a context of interpretation for different sounds that provide the listener with a framework of very suggestive sensations.
The installation is formalized in two parts, the first drawn from three main themes: the relationship of the sound with the viewer, the space and the decontextualization of it.
The second in the incorporation of sounds that little more than a decade ago, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States (NOAA by its abbreviations in English) detected by means of a system of autonomous hydrophones located in several zones of the Pacific Ocean coming from the depths and that they are powerful enough to be detected by all stations of the equatorial pacific listening system.
These hydrophones were separated by more than 5,000 kilometers each and hypotheses about the origin of these have not yet been proposed.
Upsweep, Whistle, Bloop, Slow down, Train and Julia were the names that were given to these strange sounds that will most likely disconcert the public accustomed to the awkward silence that occurs in the elevators.
Sounds and images of the natural environment
The central installation that will occupy the exhibition hall will be TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPES, by the artists Susana López and Eduardo Balanza.
An installation designed and created exclusively for the room resulting from work on the environments of the Telemark Region (Norway) and the Region of Murcia.
Formed from a natural network created by a multitude of sounds and images from the natural environment, the installation takes seriously the hydroelectric devices, the rivers and the human intervention in the landscape as a starting point on which to develop a rich immersion and a I work with multiple readings based on nature and our human presence.
The construction of a "transformed" matter has more to do with creation, with the generation of a new sensory experience that allows the listener to become an inhabitant of a disturbing dimension.
This new reality is a gateway to our inner worlds, of experience, fantasy and reflection.
The listening will require the participation of the listener, in the manner of "Deep Listening" by Pauline Oliveros, and wishes to communicate emotions of transcendence through communion with the very essence of sound, where to discover hidden meanings that are not perceptible at first. .
From October 31 to November 30.
In the black room, the Femmes Fatales: those "beautiful atrocities" in which we find the germ, embryo or prefiguration of the vampires will become protagonists through the installation VAMPIRES;
With a panoptic view of these dangerous figures turned into myth, legend and parody of perversity through film, the installation will review from 1915 to the present.
Indie movies
With the screening of 29 films directed by authors such as Jean Rollin, Jess Franco, Amando de Ossorio, Vicente Aranda, Abel Ferrara, Louis Feuillade, Tobe Hooper or Andy Warhol, we intend to shed light on many of them, which have been forgotten or deserved get out of the darkness in which they were locked, while we discovered this dangerous and demonic figure, which combines Eros and Thanatos, paradigm of evil and sin, and that became the form and expression of misogyny and sexphobia prevailing late nineteenth century.
From October 24 to November 30 in uninterrupted hours.
And as always more different cinema internationally, always starting from the most commercial of independent films and the most independent of commercial cinema, in order to deepen the analysis of different films within the universe of contemporary cinema and its multiple paradigms, as well as promoting the reflection on the meaning of the images, is installed in the center to make a review of the trends and to understand the different cinematographic models of the cinema produced in other countries and to review the most unknown figures.
Directors like Stephan Komandarev, Babak Anvari and Marcin Wrona will join the eyes of one of the "three c's" of modern horror films, John Carpenter and stop motion magician Ray Harryhausen.
