Untitled 2
Sunday 10 of October
El Club presents Untitled 2, one of the nine projects that form “El Paso”. “El Paso” is a game which establishes a practice, and we use it as a tool to work together in a separate or individual way. Here you can watch the project that Cristina Blanco started and passed on to Bárbara Bañuelos, who in turn transformed it and passed it to Fernando Quesada, who destroyed it and passed it on to Emilio Tomé, who turned it upside down and passed it on to María Jerez, who zoomed into it and passed it on to Tania Arias, who stretched it and passed it on to Laura Bañuelos, who put it into the context of “El Paso” and passed it on to Ismeni Espejel, who made another zoom and passed it to Maral Kekejian, who invited us to some beers in some park benches in Vélez Blanco (Almería). These two last “pasos” will not be presented here, since they are not in a video format.
EL CLUB is a group formed by ten persons from different backgrounds that got together two years ago thanks to a proposal from Juan Domínguez. To show each other our working tools, support our artsitic processes, watch films, share references or multiply Cristina Blanco´s work “Cuadrado-Flecha-persona que corre”, are some of the things that we have done together. We are all quite different. We decided that we were not a “collective” because we didn´t fight for a common discourse. Instead, we agreed that we were more like a club (like the cinema club, the chess club or the typical dancing club). We made up (almost, because it seems that nothing is new) “El Paso”, a practice or a game that enabled us to work together in an individual way. Through this tool we have got to know each other and we have created the grounds to decide whether El Club moves forward or disappears.
EL CLUB isn´t static and doesn´t have to continue calling itself EL CLUB.
EL CLUB is formed by Amalia Fernández, Fernando Quesada, Laura Bañuelos, Tania Arias, Maral Kekejian, Cristina Blanco, Ismeni Espejel, Emilio Tomé, Bárbara Bañuelos and María Jerez.
