Encuentos I - ipuinARTEan I

The video - IpuinArtean I – Encuentos I – describes by means of interviews and metaphoric images the project of the same name during 74 minutes. If the artists invited to participate in the exhibition IpuinArtean I have carried out a work starting from a story belonging to a culture different from theirs, on the video the proper project serves as a story.

Due to the wide spectre pretending to embrace the IpuinArtean I the video has also pretended to do the same. From here stems its intention of being understandable for everybody, from children to adults, independently of which is the culture of origin of the spectator. That is why music plays a remarkable role in this work in view of its mediative importance. We should not forget that this video was born of a social reality. The panorama of our towns and cities is changing. Technology and the immigration flow are their main causes. The images building this video, from the beginning to the end, give an account of it. Sometimes as a documentary, other times in a cinematographic way, also in the TV style, even looking like a report. And this is due to the fact that besides being IpuniArtean I a multicultural idea, it is also multidisciplinary. Here there is nothing free, the intention is not to amuse or praise a good idea, the wish is to ask questions and create a dialogue. The rest does not depend on us.

The video is structured taking as a basis a series of interviews, rather conversations, on the part of the people who have taken part in the exhibition which is the cornerstone of the project.

o describe here in detail that these conversations looking practically like mologues, after having eliminated the interlocutor at the edition, were completly spontaneous (as spontaneous as it allows to have a camera right in the middle). I never went to a study or house knowing what was going to happen. Questions were not put forward. The only setting which contextualized us was the Encuentos project.
I wanted that those participating in the exhibition would get involved in a different way as I myself and among all to go through the dark edge of those problems that Encuentos pretends to illuminate.

Children are an important part of Encuentos with the amplification of the schools, That has made me bear in mind that the receivers of the video were going to be also largely very young. That is why I have made sure that the video is for all kind of viewers.

On the other side, a theme which concerned me was food and this understood as a cultural mediator. I have approached the theme in a little absurd way with a total will, first of all to make it amusing and secondly so that the contrast demonstrates the importance of eatable goods with regard to the cultural world.

Music is taken into a great consideration. At first . Joanna Rubio took charge of executing a sound track reflecting a little that what we could relate traditionally (with) to inmigration, making a reference to the south. South which appears like black and North like white.
Later on Markos González collaborated in the sound track and provided a darker and more industrial sound. You will be also able to listen to the Jum Jum group next to Beñast Iturrioz's and Mikel Perurena's txalaparta, a fragment of Tanya Tagay's last disc . You will also listen sing to Janine and an Izar's contribution .
