The jury of FilmArte Festival have awarded a Special Mention to my film 'The Exhibition'!
'The Exhibition' features collaborations with Sarah Tremlett – who was here in Madrid for the screening at Artistic Metropol on 6 May (see photo of us below) – as well as Ignacio Gómez de Liaño, Ilia Galán Díez, Mia Gill, Hatti Rees, Eduardo Yagüe, Deva Tomás, The Olive Brothers, Ángel Rivas, Jan Erichsen, Ignacio Kowalski and Nicholas Clayton, and is produced by Antenablue.
The film is an irreverent take on the art world. A poetic hybrid combining essay, documentary, journalism, and video art. The starting point was my poem 'La exposición' (The Exhibition) published in my second poetry collection Antípodas (Huerga y Fierro Editores, 2016) and a video I'd filmed on my iPad of my niece dancing in the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC, and it slowly grew from there, incorporating various collaborations from artists and videopoets, my cousin's boys creating an artwork in New Zealand and my cousin Nic Clay who worked with me on the music.
