Indepth Arts News: "Angle of vision: 143º - Objects in the rear view mirror are closer than they appear" 2003-10-09 until 2003-11-30 Joan Miro Foundation Barcelona, , ES
The work of the artists taking part in the cycle explores new perspectives, in an approach to the world around them from out-of-the-ordinary points of view. They believe in the possibility of difference and therefore accept discussion and questioning.
The projects, all of which are designed specifically for the Espai 13, use video, installation or other media to produce the conceptual works in which the participation of the public is a fundamental element.
Whether employing irony, political commitment, ingenuity or a taste for the absurd, the artists taking part – Luis Bisbe, Jens Haaning, Antonio Ortega, Claude Closky and Simon Starling – show how there is a tendency to structure each person’s surroundings on the basis of a scale of values that is determined by society, and demonstrate how these values can be changed, or at least challenged, instead of being taken as absolutes.
