Therefore, annual calls to select local artists will be launched in all the partner cities from September this year.  

“WHITE NOISE, BLACK WORDS”

Exposición Europea CreArt 2014

According the curators, White Noise, Black Words investigates the fragile balance between abstraction and figuration, immateriality and concreteness, fact and symbol, existence and imagination. Whereas “white noise” is commonly known as a combination of all the sounds in the human spectrum, “black words” suggests less-visible elements of the social fabric.

The featured works are in an array of media: painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, installation, video, and sound. They offer up realistic depictions and dreamlike representations, rational positions and unconscious tensions, perceptible objects and ghostlike entities, primitive rituals and daily actions, conversational dynamics and intimate gestures.
