«APOLOGY OF THE KOÑO. A celebration of power and freedom is one of the exhibitions with which EST_ART Space begins the new season. The museum is located in its BLACK ROOM Room, dedicated to the most subversive and underground projects. A collective exhibition proposal that claims the representation of food as a symbol of freedom, identity and resistance. In a world that still fights against censorship and repression, this exhibition is an act of liberation and a declaration of pride and autonomy in which José Manuel Ruiz participates with “Homenaje a Courbet”, one of the video installation pieces that are inserted inside. PROJECTOR Festival. Along with him, Clara S. Prous, Espina de Vil, Martí Moreno, No Queda Tinte, Laneleal, Ari B. Miró, Vince García and Sergio Sánchez. The space itself programs an afternoon of performance in THE BLACK ROOM within the framework of the exhibition «APOLOGÍA DEL KOÑO. A celebration of power and freedom led by PEPA (Small Performance Art Event) and its organizer Analia Beltrán I. Janés who will bring together a group of performers based on this theme and activate a series of performances.

In the main room of the EST_ART Space we will find the exhibition “MIRROR MIRROR”, a project that arises from the popular question “Who is the most beautiful in the world?” Under this premise and with the portrait as the protagonist, the museum aims to be a reflection of the society of our days. Throughout this exhibition we will discover how various artists explore the pressure that social networks exert on our lives and how the image we show to the world through screens is distorted. PROYECTOR intervenes in this exhibition with the artist Francisco José Carranza and his video installation work “Narcotic Portrait”. The work will share space with the work of the artists Ana Juan, Germán Gómez, Pepe Dominguez, Eva Alonso, Atthram, Iván Fedérico Wenger, Clara S. Prous Parafiliarte, Sfhir, David Trullo, Penélope Clarinha, Enrique González, Carol Solar, Melchor Balsera , and with artists represented by La Sindicalista (Cáceres gallery) among others.

Both exhibitions will be activated with a guided visit with vermouth together with the artist José Manuel Ruiz within the PROYECTOR Festival programming on September 21st at 11:30 noon.

FESTIVAL 2024

2024 arrives full of moving images with a new edition of the PROYECTOR Festival: New Hertzog Da Silva Awards, 2nd Edition of VERTICAL <25

The PROYECTOR platform showcases and distributes the most experimental and cutting-edge proposals on the international scene. The Festival is known for its non-cinemanormative works—pieces that fall outside traditional approaches, engaging with the space and the active viewer who experiences them.

From September 11 to 22, 2024, 33 venues across the city of Madrid will converge to present new languages and formats through around 100 works of expanded cinema, performance, video art, site-specific and interactive pieces, and unique works premiering at the Festival.

PROYECTOR collaborates with both independent and established spaces, spanning from central neighborhoods to surrounding districts of the capital. These venues are filled with video art proposals curated by the PROYECTOR platform as well as by the galleries and museums participating in the OFF Circuit, each presenting their own programming and resources.

Additionally, PROYECTOR partners with festivals specializing in experimental video art and moving image, such as Loops.Expanded, Muestra Internacional de Videonarración A/R/Tográfica, FIVA, PLAY or Fonlad, Mostra Brasilenha Pioneiras da Videoarte.

But there’s more!

In its 17th edition, the Hertzog Da Silva Awards return! Up to five awards will be awarded to selected works through a public call, judged by this edition’s jury. Each year, the jury features international professionals specializing in experimental video art. This year’s jury includes artist and curator Andrés Denegri (Argentina), curator Marcela Andino (Argentina), and last year’s award-winning artists Amaya Hernández Sigüenza (Spain) and Ting Tong Chang (Taiwan).

Thanks to Hertzog Da Silva, we are launching for the second year the call for young creators who think vertically: VERTICAL <25. With a new public voting system via social media, you can help choose the winner of a production residency in 2025!

PROYECTOR continues to support Madrid’s contemporary art scene by collaborating with the Platform of Independent Contemporary Creation Spaces, which this year includes 16 new venues and, for the first time, opens the doors of artists’ studios. The festival also promotes equality and the internationalization of a free and accessible culture. As such, each year over half of the works presented are by women artists from up to 30 different countries, and all festival activities are free of charge.

Additionally, all events—openings, talks, performances, and workshops—will be streamed online (YouTube, Vimeo) to ensure international accessibility.

The platform collaborates with universities, offering new generations the opportunity to train and integrate into the cultural sector. We thank the associations, galleries, foundations, private companies, embassies, venues, and above all, the artists who make it all possible.
