A THE BALDE CONCERT BY ZERO7

A concert organized by our music expert. He took the risk at a time when only big names sell. Just for this reason, we always will believe it was a great concert. However, it is nice to see that this time it is not a lie, because Zero7 are great and because organizers of such countercurrent events deserve our honest admiration.

LOVE WILL ALWAYS BE

Ainize Txopieta is an artist that is searching for a personal voice within a mixture of disciplins. Instead of offering works that are the result of such search, Txopitea is showing in the Art Gallery (until December 15th) works created from the actual searching process. Ainize Txopieta’s poetry is born in that fused space of beautiful collages made of words, drawings and photographs...

ART IN DRAINS

The Romans were the first ones decorating their drains. Since then, civilizations and cultures have paid no attention to the drains that swalow their city’s waters and dirts. Fortunately that is changing. The term “Street Artist” has almost never been used so truthfully.

YOUTHOUGHTWEWOULDNTNOTICE.COM

“You thought we wouldn’t notice”. This is the sentence a designer would never like to hear. And it’s not surprising. The coordinators of this web page hunt plagiarism, copies and “homages” of designers and publicists, and they make them public. Big names have already fallen... and others are on their way.

PARA-SKI

Para-ski originated as a sport in Switzerland in the early 1960s as a form of mountain rescue. The concept was to jump from an aircraft, parachute to an open area near the victim, strap on skis, and evacuate the casualty down the mountain. This winter, if you para-ski, you´ll be able to fly over the crowded ski stations.

The exhibition “Errep(I)ka-gaiak” seems, at first sight, an exhibition of fotographs by a group of artists. And that’s also the case, but there is something else at the back of these photographs, and at the core of this exhibition’s goal. The original, a copy, repetition, technology, time... it also offers an analysis of the different components of photography.
