WHAT'S NEW IN ART
Opening this weekend at the Para/Site Art Space in Hong Kong is an exhibition entitled Insert Coin, a selection of the most interesting young artists of Madrid. From the notes:
[] With the urban landscape of the now-in-crisis late capitalism as a backdrop, the artists bring forward their political and social critiques with undefined assertion. . . . The title alludes to money and art market- the coin as a trigger to start the mechanism. . .
[Above by Karmelo Bermejo] Booked. On a working day all the tickets for the 7:00 am coach from Madrid to Bilbao were purchased with public money so that the bus could complete its route empty, 2007 belongs to a series of pieces where public funds are wasted for apparently absurd ends. . .
Josechu Davila: Work of a defined conceptual character, deals with the concept of negation. Through different techniques of removal, cancellation or redundancy, the works often questions its own physicality and saleability. . . . Hisae Ikenaga mimics an actual IKEA's furniture guide, modified so that by the use of four specific IKEA chairs, one can build (and own) the artist's piece, the guides are given for free. . . Daniel Silvo: Four ways to bend your money, 2009, plays with the double meaning of 'doblar' (Spanish), which means to fold or to double. He makes origami with bank notes, which in turn raises the value of them. []
