Paloma Gámez in Madrid with Carta de Color
In its interesting summer programme, La Casa Encendida in Madrid exhibits until the 4th of September the project Carta de Color of the artist Paloma Gámez. With the artistic exhibition in the second floor of La Casa Encendida tries for the spectator to re-think the concept of painting when leaving the traditional support. Carta de Color is an interesting proposal by Gámez, in which she dialogues with the spectators about the effects of colour and symbolisms that the pictorial fact contains. The name used for the artistic exhibition refers to the classic tool used in industrial and artistic painting, photography and video. This tool allows precise control of colours and the most precise re those constructed on a cardboard with colour patches on it. The project was born as part of an investigation that Gámez made previously, elaborating a colour chart. This chart was meant to be used in the exhibition of a part of La Casa Encendida. The colour chart the she designs is totally subjective, just like she organizes and executes her work without avoiding the game of uncertainty. This work was taped on video to be projected in the exhibition as a complement of aesthetic work. In it you can see part of the process of the design of the colour chart with the aim to give visibility to the design and the production manner that creative work has. The transformation of the place through painting generates a redefinition in the perception of the spectators on the architectonic space, questioning the ways that seemed already known. Paloma Gámez studied in the Fine Arts School of Granada...Fortezza D’Estate Festival in Florence
When the summer arrives, the festivals and the decisions arrive too. You already know where to go this summer? You´re not going on holiday yet? Everything is relative to the budget that one has. Some are, of course, due to the high temperature in these months, that the Europeans have the urgency to be in the open air, to socialize more, to live the summer and its party and why not, to find some summer romance too. Florence is a highly romantic city, full of history and tradition that will wrap you up like by magic. Travelling, in itself, to whichever part it is and however the way, is always an important interior transformation, that leaves us with an open heart towards new vibrations when we come back home. The success of a festival isn´t exclusively in its proposals. We could say that it´s baed in the way in which they are organized and presented to a public which is more and more interested all the time in new formats, new options, new artists and diverse culture. Maybe in one way or another, trying to encompass the nighest amount of fields of interest in only one celebration of events during over a month is the best way to arrange the crowd, to make new proposals at the same time that you refresh a cultural space which might be traditional but that it´s risky, that it tries to establish new latitudes in its field of action. Fortezza D´Estate is an example of this fresh tendency in Europe. From different angles and proposals, Fortezza tries to cover different crowds and interests,...Ca l´Isidre Restaurant Barcelona
