CACmalaga, Malaga Town Council’s Youth Department, throws the doors of CAC (Malaga Contemporary Art Centre) wide open to youth with ample, avant-garde concerns, who are to be admired, or at least paid attention to. We were there, and observed, in general, a high new artistic level.Painting, corporeal elements, videos, photography… The youth, eternally generous, have put there all into this exhibition. From the set of 50 colour photos crammed together, where one can see extremely original approaches and which are full of art, to Tony Samelian’s “Se alquila” (For Rent) (plastic canvas with acrylic paint, 300 x 3000 x 250). The whole exhibition will make sure that the spectator can not remain indifferent.
The first prize is a photographic composition by Lucia Gomez Fernandez. Elena Arana is the author of a work dating from 2005, entitled “Conexiones” (Connections), made with wood, string, bamboo and fabric, which received a Special Mention from the Jury. The work entitled “Anfibio Daltonico” (Colour-blind amphibian), created in 2006, will capture your attention, a contribution to “noise on noise”, in the magnificent photo, we can see a solitary violinist playing an inaudible score, in the centre of a huge avenue saturated by an infernal coming and going of vehicles.
To sum it up, “2006 Exhibit of Young Creators” is a shock to the system. A real wake-up call. A warning to tell us we have excellent, creative youths, capable of offering something new on the agitated artistic panorama. A simple catalogue, but very well created.
