Existencias

Existencias
El próximo 21 de septiembre el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León presentará Existencias, su tercer gran proyecto sobre la Colección MUSAC tras la muestra Emergencias, que inauguró el museo el 1 de abril de 2005 y Fusión: Aspectos de la cultura asiática en la colección MUSAC, que se desarrolló entre diciembre del 2005 y abril del 2006.

La muestra ocupará todo el espacio expositivo del museo – más de 4.000 metros cuadrados en salas, Laboratorio 987 y el Proyecto Vitrinas- y presentará al espectador las obras de más de 200 artistas nacionales e internacionales de la colección MUSAC. Existencias, a diferencia de la muestra inaugural -en la que se intentaba abordar la incidencia política y social del artista contemporáneo- y de Fusión- que abordaba aspectos de la cultura asiática en la Colección-no obedece a ningún tema concreto, y se sitúa en la acción propia implícita al coleccionismo: la selección y la acumulación. A través del modo acumulativo de presentar la exposición, que
hace referencia a los salones y gabinetes barrocos, se pretende poner de manifiesto ciertos conceptos implícitos a la generación de una colección institucional: acumulación, multidisciplinaridad o mixtificación, y al mismo tiempo replantear las formas de ver que el espacio dispone en este sentido acumulativo.

Montreal in Motion

Aeroports de Montreal (ADM) today officially opened the Montreal in Motion:
20 Portraits media arts exhibition, produced by ilU, an artists collective that won a call for ideas held by ADM in 2006.
Projected on the giant LED screen in Montreal-Trudeau airport's international arrivals complex, the work comprises a series of 20 video portraits of dynamic Montrealers who are helping make Montreal a city in motion.

The 20 subjects of Montreal in Motion: 20 Portraits hail from the city's different milieux - culture, sports, performing arts, business and community. With grace and sensitivity, these minute-long portraits pique the viewer's interest and curiosity with motion created around stationary subjects posing against backgrounds that are typical of both Montreal and the personalities' own environments.

This exhibition is part of ADM's Montreal Identity program, an initiative aimed at infusing its airport facilities with a typically "Montreal" character, while helping to support the city's artistic and cultural development.

ADM would like to acknowledge the contributions of the external members of the Montreal Identity program advisory committee involved in this innovative project: Danielle Sauvage, Executive Director, Conseil des arts de Montreal; Pierre Bellerose, Vice-President, Research and Public Relations, Tourisme Montreal; Johanne Brouillet, Artistic Advisor; and Michel Hardy, Head of Design, Cardinal Hardy Architectes.
