Certain phenomenons have made history of the contemporary world. Latin America and the Mediterranean regions were pushed into the background whereas Modernity built its own speech. But its cultural identity ,snippets made, proves that here (The Mediterranean sea and Latin America) interculturality was discovered way before than contemporaneity was taken as a sign of identity.
In Medi Terraneum is an artistic event by video art that suggests two lines of action/investigation. The first goal is to observe the artistic reality of those countries out of the art scene worldwide, even big cities, but even so outlying cities of those countries mentioned earlier. On to the other hand, it pretends to explore (through the works of the participant artists ) wich and how strong is the link between Latin America and the mediterranean countries from certain thematic axes.
For this occasion, two pieces have been choosen: La Plaga by Giosuè Mauro Cassata and Laura Navarro Gómez and La Marche de l’Escargot by argentinian artist Mario Damián Funes. According to their own experiences, they reflect on the unknown between us and the relationship with it.
These two video pieces will be combined Live on a Dj and Vj session, resulting in a third Hybrid art masterpiece, as the plasmation of a transculturated future as well as the best possibility of evolution. All this process will take place in Madrid, live streaming, connecting with all three locations in both continents.
Something is about to happen between the lands...
