plasticine illustrations
We have shown many illustrators’ work in the balde. Many different styles and forms. We have to add Irma Gruenholz’s beautiful plasticine illustrations to the collection. We’ve fallen in love with the se drawing-like enormous plasticine illustrations.
ehz
Bet wee n 27th and 29th June, at Lekor ne, in the shadow of the castle of Ga rro, EHZ Festival will, as usual, offer many powerful concerts as well as many other creative events. This year’s main reflections and events will be about oppressed nations.
expogrow 2014
Expogrow, which is much more than a cannabis market, was highly successful in the previous years. Between 12th and 14th September at Ficoba. Talks, debates, music, sports events: an unbeatable leisure option.
art in the wood
Whenever we talk about graffiti, the painted walls in our towns and cities and trains come to mind. Graffiti, in itself, is an urban art form. Artists Jana and JS, however, have taken their painting to the woods and left their art there. For the inhabitants of the woods to enjoy it.
kantoikrit
On 19th July Oñati is going to hold one of our favourite celebrations: Kantoikrit. Bikes at night in the streets of Oñati. Hoards of wheeled kamikazes will go around the streets as if there were no tomorrow. And as well as the bicycles there will be concerts and other things to make it a summer night's dream.
jazz festival season
July is jazz festival time in the Basque Country. Jazz lovers and experts have the chance to see their legends live, and people who aren't jazz lovers can see an increasingly wide range of music at the jazz festivals. We've got nothing to complain about. This year, amongst other things, you can see and hear Wire at the Donostia festival.
pretexts
If you're like us, an any pretext's good enough for a two-day trip, here are three unmissable options for June and July: Praqiques graphiques. Paris, Centre Pompidou. Matisse. London, Tate Modern. Bauhaus Archive Museum, Berlin.
Les folies bergère / the great war
There have been many publications on the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. For us, these two comics have been the most exact and moving works. Scriptwrite Zidrou usually works with different draughtsmen. In this work his collaborator is Porcele, and the result is a dark, beautiful, moving story. You get to feel the dampness and smell the trenches. Joe Sacco’s highly detailed work will amaze you. He offers us the chance to leave the trenches and get an overall view of the Great War.
malomuymalo
The Malomuymalo partners have spent many years working with their own style. As well as organising many events, they have never stopped putting their ideas and thoughts on paper. We now have the chance to enjoy their illustrated sentences and written illustrations at Bilbao's Narata shopping centre. Until 5th July.
surfilmfest
From May to August Donostia Surfilm Festival has organised different events like last year's. But instead of squeezing all the events into a week, there will be different events and film shows throughout the summer at different places. We think it's a great idea.
