On the occasion of its first collaboration with LOOP, In Between Art Film presents a video selection curated by Paola Ugolini, featuring works by international artists that variously deal with domestic architecture and the urban space. From the cold architecture of contemporary cities to the private dimension of a house, all works put forth the idea of the home as the “epidermis of the human body” –to say it with Frederick Kiesler’s words. Furthermore, the chosen videos offer an overview of contemporary moving image creation, while they present an aesthetics that is coherent with the films produced by In Between Art Film. Formally launched in 2012 by Beatrice Bulgari, In Between Art Film is a film production company that explores the shifting boundaries between contemporary art, video art and cinema.

The Fundació Suñol presents the second show of Camins encontrats, a project that aims at exploring the scope of the exhibition system and its aspects on the analysis of works of art, their exhibition, the processes that surround them, the author and the art collection they belong to, while offering the audience the maximum aesthetic and intellectual pleasure experiencing art.

The project began on 2016 with the exhibition of two works by Joan Rabascall. This year, we propose the display of two pieces by Antoni Miralda (Terrassa, 1942) that were created in different contexts. Camins encontrats aims at emphasizing on the potential of the exhibition means and that is why this show is conceived as a lab where the relationships and active components of the artistic activity can be handled and tested.

Tehran-Geles is a fictional vision of Tehran using Los Angeles as its set. During an aerial journey we discover an uncanny landscape. While flying over boulevards, personal souvenirs of migrants create an echo to the collective story of the Iranian capital. Arriving in Downtown, the buildings are saturated with neon signs, pulsating with the voices, taking us on a hallucinating trip. Like in the science fictional genre, where the present is projected into the future, this short movie projects the past of Tehran into the Western present.

In New Days the theater of phantasmagorias that was invented for entertainment in Europe is reused to present landscapes of Los Angeles where Iranian animations are pasted upon.

Untitled consist of a series of led panels showing abstract animations used for promotion and advertising. The low quality animations are used without any text, thus becoming the central focus of what seems to be a falshy visual experiment.
