surfilm fest
This year’s surf cinema festival has reached Donostia. The images from this year’s festival are a tribute to director Wes Anderson’s film Life Acuatic. As usual, as well as showing waves from all over the world, the festival will also be artistic and fun. Exhibitions, special shows and music nights for dancing will all come along with June’s biggest tide.
hengki koentjoro
The balde has followed photographer Koentjoro for a long time now. He is one of the most spectacular
examples of contemporary black and white photography. One of the most amazing discoveries we
have made in his work is his underwater photography
He uses lights and shadow to show us a new universe.
expogrow
This year will be a continuation of last year’s enormous success. The essence of Expogrow’s success is that it is more than just a hemp market: it is also a social forum, a series of great concerts given by international and local stars (Berri Txarrak and Sinsemilla are confirmed acts ), street art activities, skating and the chance to look in on a whole lot more things. 13th to 15th September, Irun.

others, you can see Archive, Keny Arkana, Jimmy
Cliff, A nestesia, Hola a todo el mundo, Capsula,

prizes
The French artists LB67 have used price tags as the raw material for their latest works. Each work is worth the sum of all the price tags on it. It’s a simple, direct reflection about art. Chapeau!
hormiga atomica
In recent years Iruñea’s Curia Street has become a
cultural and artistic ants’ nest. The atomic ant lives there. You can take part in many shows, have a coffee and get hold of books there. The Atomic Ant is an analogue social network and a centre of resistance.
selfcontained
Architect and artist Michael Johansson has a particular obsession with space. When he came across Tetris, he realised that was a way to channel his obsession. However, it’s an obsession which is quite limitless. If you catch him measuring your house up, watch out!
illustrated lunch
Since 2008 illustrato r David LaFerriere has drawn on the elevenses his children take to school every day. He’s probably a hero for his children’s friends, but I bet “the world’s best dad” doesn’t have many friends amongst the other parents.
cornelia konrads
This German artist set up her work and installations in natural surroundings. Her work is about the relationship between humanity and nature. Stone walls, wooden fences... she plays with things that want to escape from nature or which want to get back to it. And there is often humour in Cornelia’s work.
yox
This festival, which combines photography, art and
fashion, is going to be held once more from 1st to
5th July. The Yox collective has been a pioneer in our country, directing reflections about the con nections between those three disciplines. As the Yox collective knows that fashion is more than parades, they look into education and experimentation in their a ctivities.
zwap
Many projects and activities are organized at
Zorrozaurre’s Zwap. Having a space and resources
is fundamental for anybody who wants to do anything
creative. Because having the right container is just
as important and creating the contents.
