TONY SAMELIAN, SANTIAGO CIRUGEDA, CARMEN OSUNA AND THE ‘TODO POR LA PRAXIS’ COLLECTIVE COLLABORATE ON THE ‘EL ARTE DE HABITAR’ EXHIBITION, ORGANISED BY MALAGA PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT.

MALAGA._ To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Malaga’s Provincial Public Housing Company (EMPROVIMA), dependant upon the Provincial Government, suggested to a well-established group of artists that they speak of habitable space and sustainable urban alternatives. This challenge gave way to very disparate ideas, but which had one thing in common, which was to always present a critical angle. […]
All these works are part of an exhibition called El arte de Habitar (The art of inhabiting) which is open to the public until November 28 at the Provincial Government headquarters, and which exhibits selected works from two competitions organised by Emprovima, with juries which included big noises from the art world such as Fernando Frances, the director of Cac Malaga; Tony Samelian, plastic artist; Carmen Osuna, the dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Malaga; and Alfredo Viñas, art gallery director. […]
To complete the proposal, Emprovima invited four artists who have expressed their own views on this topical subject. Tony Samelian, for example, set himself the objective of reflecting upon how “luck can determine many elements in life”, even fundamental rights such as living in a decent home. To do so, and to delve deeper into his idea of speculation and the corruption of money, he exhibits 432 State Lottery tickets.
Other invited artists were Santiago Cirugeda, Carmen Osuna and the ‘Todo por la Praxis’ Collective.
