HERE/NOW artist talk: La Decanatura, 'From the Mule to the Plane'
In the context of exhibition HERE/NOW: Current Visions from Colombia, we are glad to announce an event with one of the artists: La Decanatura!
La Decanatura is an artist collective comprised of Elkin Calderón Guevara and Diego Piñeros García. During this presentation, they will talk about their work and practice, including their featured film Centro Espacial Satelital de Colombia as well as their most recent film project, De la mula al avión. The latter is still a work in progress, but has already been nominated for the Luis Caballero Award, the most important art prize in Colombia!
De la mula al avión [From the mule to the plane] is based on the artists’ interest in the failed idea of progress, and obsolete technologies that are still being used in Colombia. Starting point for the project was the eighty-year-old DC3 plane; which can be considered a remnant of a ‘modern past’. The research they are undertaking for the fulm takes them to countries such as Switzerland, France, Iceland and Colombia, looking for parallels and vestiges of what this aircraft was & represents in different geographies and economies.
Doors open 16:45, starts 17:00. Free entry as always, all welcome!
