SPAIN, FRANCE
ART Situacions, the patronage project that has been promoting the dissemination of the youngest sector of contemporary art for over a decade, initiated the itinerancy of its third exhibition, ART Situacions III, in France on February 29, specifically at the Fondation Fiminco, where it can be viewed from February 29 to April 7, 2024.
When Marcel Pascual and the ART Situacions team considered the idea of introducing this project in the neighboring country, Fondation Fiminco was one of the first institutions they approached, as the values and missions of both projects are aligned: supporting contemporary creation and access to culture for everyone. Since 2019, Fondation Fiminco has been providing residencies, production facilities, and visibility for emerging artists, making their work available to a broader audience, activities, and goals that are positioned with the production of itinerant exhibitions of young artists throughout Europe, which ART Situacions has been carrying out over the last decade. Its facilities and exhibition spaces in Romainville are ideal for the language, themes, and mediums used by the artists selected for this third edition, as they represent the current transformation of our landscape, cities, and societies as we approach the first quarter of the 21st century.
The exhibition puts in dialogue the work of five Spanish artists and five French artists: Elena Aitzkoa, Nora Aurrekoetxea, Lucía Bayón, Aleix Plademunt, and Pablo Capitán del Río, and the French Salomé Chatriot, Marie-Luce Nadal, Benoît Piéron, Elsa Brès, and Yoan Sorin. These artists have been selected by a committee formed by María de Corral, Lorena Martínez de Corral, Chus Martínez, and Vicent Todolí.
