BRUNO VARELA. ESPECTROS DE LA PANTALLA ELECTRÓNICA (ELECTRONIC SCREEN SPECTRA)
INSTALLATION
Fundación Luis Seoane | From Tuesday 2 to Sunday June 7 | Free entry to all venues until full capacity. It will not be possible to enter the venues after the screening has started.
Expanding beyond the cinema hall, Bruno Varela’s uncontainable universe can be visited at the Luis Seoane Foundation over the days of the Mostra. This installation has two looped monitors. It condenses some of Varela’s work in the sphere of community video and video art. This is a story (in no specific order) about Varela’s collaborations with the Centro de Vídeo Indígeno and Ojo de Agua Comunicación (1994‒2001), his joint initiatives arcano14 (2000‒6) and Anticuerpo (2007‒), the Oaxacan painter Francisco Toledo’s film club El Pochote (1998‒2011), the Mirada Biónica workshop (2001‒6), the popular uprising of 2006 in Oaxaca and its brutal repression, as well as the EZLN’s visit to Oaxaca in 2001.
The program by Bruno Varela is backed by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) ‘Materialism and Geographic Specificity in the Philosophy of Film’ (scholarship agreement ID: 101102377), at the University of Murcia, funded by the European Union.
