The striking power of the visual which doesn't need to be explained - the videos in Manuel de Santaren's collection live of this.
The show at MAMbo - Villa delle Rose in Bologna presents eleven video installations that are based on performances produced not for a live audience but for the eye of a camera. With the exception of McCallum and Tarry and Isabel Rocamora the camera's fixed position prevails, simulating the standpoint of a non-involved viewer who keeps a constant distance from the events. The body, its relation to its environment and the physical interaction with others are at the center of every video: from the tableaux vivant by Niklas Goldbach, William Lamson or Luigi Presicce, the performances by Maria José Arjona and Jesse Aron Green which refer to minimal and conceptual art, body art related pieces like "HAUTNA---T" by Chrischa Venus Oswald, videos related to dance choreography like the ones by McCallum and Tarry, Janaina Tschäpe or Isabel Rocamora to the strange living sculptures in Hans Op de Beeck's "The Stewarts have a Party".
Manuel de Santaren is a Boston and Washington DC based collector whose main focus is New Media/Video based works. His extensive collection comprises works which focus primarily on performance, appropriation of mass media imagery, and animation. Mr. de Santaren is the Co-Chair of the Photography Committee of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York where he has championed the acquisition and inclusion of video works for the permanent collection. He is also on the Board of Overseers of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and an active participant in the Visiting Committee / Contemporary Art where he offers his knowledge and passion for time based works. Furthermore, he is member of the Executive Board of The Cisneros Fontanals Foundation based in Miami, Florida.
The show will be accompanied by a publication with texts by Manuel de Santaren, Julia Draganović, Elena Forin, Claudia Löffelholz and Federica Patti.

The paintings, installations, video works and photographs created by these Spanish artists all share a concern with process of delimitation and with the creatiion of various types of borders. They probe the boundaries between nations, between accepted and unaccepted forms of behaviour, between manmade, artificial environments and nature, between different historical periods, and between art, philosophy and life.
The selection of works included in this exhibition reflect an interest in the definition of national identity; in questions conerning language, culture, immigration, and political history; in the role of the military in daily life; and in the individual's contribution to the formation of popular social movements. These concerns, which are central to the experience of life in Spain, resonate resonate strongly in an Israeli context, and may be related to the unprecedented massive demonstrations that erupted recently in Tel Aviv Madrid and many other places in the world.
My presence at the exhibition is supported by the British Israeli Arts Training Scheme (BI ARTS) a British Council initiative in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Sport in Israel. (see flyer).

7. 05.10 - 23. 05. 10 – Remote Viewing: the best of Loop, Arts Santa Monica Museum, Barcelona – Curated by Paul Young. (group show, Horizon of exile dual channel).
REMOTE VIEWING aims to offer a sample of the most innovative work being done in the field of video art today together with a broad yet singular overview of the most representative areas of activity in video since 2000. The works have been selected from those presented by a variety of contemporary art galleries from around the world at the seven annual LOOP Barcelona video art fairs (2003-2009). The total of almost 50 pieces, including single-channel projections and videos shown on screens throughout the exhibition, explore different forms and formats — including methodologies derived from the world of film and other contemporary techniques — and themes such as the body, the idea of landscape, the social nature of art or humour as a medium for criticism.
Paul Young, curator of the exhibition, is a journalist and director of a dozen international award-winning shorts; his most recent book is Art Cinema (Taschen, 2009) and he is a regular contributor to newspapers such as The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times and magazines such as Rolling Stone and ARTnews, among others.
