About her work:
She shows printmakings made with mixed techniques, xilographies, montages and monocopies.
Here & there means to the artist, the loss of space reference into her novel Kaytreen & George in Nowhere Land. Nowhere Land is a space with its own characteristics, made by characters to give form to their daily encounters in the cyberspace (msn). It is the absense of the usual logic in the communication between two persons, with the limits of the screen and the keyboard. Keeping the code and the language up of this work, prinmaking’ images are only clues to let imagination define the panorama’s features.

About her work:
Each linoleum from the series “Silvestre” presents different space’ fragments and recreates a part, a landscape able to be multiplied. The artist uses the repetition and stylizes natural motifs (Bahuhinia Candicans, dandelions) and some formal ones (points, lines, planes). She crosses art‘ language and design. The part suggests an entirety. The landscape, as a fragment able to be reproduced, promise the appearence of a panorama.

About her work:
Criatures and elements from different graphic stratums – arrow, star, animals, vegetals - with high abstraction, live together into a plane space. Mixed techniques – handcrafted and digitals -, contributed to emphasized the diversed character of the figures, making a new enviroment. Paradoxically, the textured support, added to the previous resources, produce at the same time, dispersion and totality. The artist create a strange panorama.

About her work:
She gives different views from her fields of Córdoba. The vast horizons, flat horizons, slightly interrupted by natural elements, became smaller, compressed, they being interrupted only to let us see fragmentes of those horizontal distances.
Fast lines make a sketch. Drawing is the element for representation, a mediator, transforming these works in a subtle field for aesthetic and politic reflection. She changes the sense of the register and converses in a question about it own existence.

He was born in Karlovac, Croatia, in 1979. He lives and works in Croatia. He was graduated as Forestry Engineer and he is a Photographer.

About his work:
This artist conceive the photography as an art form, as a powefull media which let him to express, freeze and make inmortal those unique moments has in life and to preserve them for others. Before other things he is an observer.
Somehow, the “Here and there” concept contains and captures the opposition of two contrast worlds we regularly meet (and live together) during our lives and during our existence. Making use, in a traditional way, of his camera, he catchs those differences between the captured/ the exterior, the phisical / the spiritual, the visible / the hidden, the insignificant / the inmense, the nature /the civilization.

He had directed in the earlies ’90, the “parties” trilogy at the discoteque “Plataforma”, coming back, as a curator, to the festive experience in 1998 with three editions of “Mundo Mix”, at the Contemporary Art Center Chateu Carreras from Córdoba. In his last exhibitions, he had showed performances and paintings in homage to the japanese artist Yayoy Kusama.

About his work:
“Travels with Ken”, registered with innumerous photographs by the arytists, reveals a particular way of thinking and feeling about distances. Inspired in the Graham Greene’ book, Journey with my aunt, and also in Oskar Kokoschka’ doll model work, the artist reflects through a performance as genre and a nonsense as proposal, about the fusion art-life. The idea was to go on holidays with a small doll and, everywhere, take pictures from it. Ken, full of colours remites to the world of publicity and to aesthetic pop. Its conventional poses in different places refers to the excursion.
However, this pictures, with the obvious and turistic situations and the presence of a famous character, makes some kind of surprise. The panoramic views are smaller, the sea, the mountains, sand and snow change their measure. The world becomes a space in a size for Ken. The public should come closer. The trip has the purpose to know the privacy of a relationship.

About his work
The pictures from the series “María Julia in Córdoba” document different demostrations in the streets, against the Secretary of Enviroment of Argentina Republic during the ’90. The technique , monochrome film developed with colour process and Black and white paper, makes a weird effect against the documentary character of the photographs. The images show the constrasts among the elements concerned to the demostration -signs, black funeral ornaments- and the particular situations of the protagonists –kids, strayed dogs- indifferent to the event.
The photography of citties and its people, urban images, is part of his proffesional work about the analysis and interpretations of public spaces. In this case is used as journalistic document and register of its time. Its present exhibition means a critic to the local socio-enviroment politic.

About his work:
Interested in Photography’ experimentation, the artist registers his daily routes between Colonia Caroya and Córdoba. The “Route Nine” pictures were taken along his journeys by car. These blurred, continuous, indefinite images talks about the movement and time passages. The artist plays with the possibilities given by a digital camera, or by other cars’ lights, or trucks, signs and also by the lines from the route itself, catching his own daily landscape. Focussed and unfocussed objects, with also, the movement from the camera, make an effect to these images closer to a painting.
