TODAS LAS SIMBIOSIS SON RESONANCIAS TEMPORALES1 por Claudia Giannetti

 

«Construyendo, reconstruyendo, sustituyendo, reciclando, deconstruyendo»

Era la divisa de la acción-taller «Estación Fax» dirigida por Marisa González, que indicaba, a la vez, los tipos de intervenciones previstos por la artista para este evento llevado a cabo en la Sala Rekalde de Bilbao, en el contexto de BilboGraph ‘95. En líneas generales el proyecto consistía en una estación de fax receptora-transmisora instalada en la sala de exposición, que recibía y enviaba obras de los colaboradores internos y externos durante tres días.

A partir de una convocatoria internacional, los invitados externos remitían sus aportaciones, que eran manipuladas por el grupo de trabajo local. El resultado de la intervención era retransmitido al participante-emisor y entraba a formar parte de la instalación creada a partir de las imágenes producidas en el taller. De esta manera, la estación funcionaba como un laboratorio destinado a «infectar» o «contaminar» las propuestas recibidas y establecer, así, un diálogo entre emisor y receptor a partir del intercambio de los trabajos. Las obras recibidas desde puntos remotos, enviadas por participantes de más de diez países, se transformaban en materia prima apta para intervenir y reciclar.

«Constructing, reconstructing, rebuilding, substituting, recycling, deconstructing»

This was the motto of the action workshop «Fax Station» directed by Marisa González, which at the same time indicated the types of interventions planned by the artist for this event held in the Sala Rekalde in Bilbao as part of the exhibition BilboGraph ´95. In broad terms the project consisted of fax station with receiving/sending capabilities set up in the exhibition hall that received and sent the work of internal and external collaborators over a period of three days.

After an international call went out for contributions the external guests began to send their contributions which were worked on by the local working group. The result was then resent to the participant/sender and it was then included as part of the installation created starting with the images produced in the workshop. In this way the station served as a laboratory used to «infect» or «contaminate» the proposed works received and that way establish a dialogue between the sender and the receiver through the exchange of works. The pieces of work received from remote points, sent by participants from more than ten different countries, was transformed into raw material suitable to be worked on and recycled.
