ART POOLS IV. ART PROJECTS EXPLORING DIFFERENT VISIONS OF THE SWIMMING POOL AND THE RECREATIONAL AREA
The project suggests a re-interpretation of the concepts of swimming pool and playground. Places where an emotional connection can be experienced, having a great potential for creativity and artistic expression.
The fourth edition of Arte Piscinas is presented as an event committed to the reality of our times, with the aim of encouraging reflection and awareness about climate change, sustainability and the protection of one of the most vital resources: water.
In this context, the three host artists chosen for this occasion have conceived their artistic projects around this architectural element and the recreational area, establishing them as points of reference to address various issues and explore aspects such as the representation of the urban landscape, our relationship with nature and water management.
POOLCREA | Arte Piscinas IV is structured in two main parts.
Firstly, we developed a full-length digital publication that compiles the projects selected through an open call for participation. All these pieces have been grouped into three sections, organised according to the discursive narratives of the host artists.
Secondly, there will be an exhibition in the form of an experiential installation, which will include the works developed especially for Arte Piscinas IV by the host artists in collaboration with Gabinete de Proyectos, producer of EXPRESSAN, and ONEPROCESSART.
This installation will give the public the opportunity to immerse themselves in and experiment interactively with the works.
