Daniel Palacios: Technology & Handcraftsmanship

Conferencia y debate posterior con Daniel Palacios, artista multimedia de reconocida trayectoria internacional. La sesión versó sobre los modos de trabajo del artista, en los cuales el uso de las tecnologías digitales y la captación de datos mediante programas específicos forman parte esencial de los procesos de generación de diversos tipos de esculturas tanto estáticas como cinéticas. Formado en la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Daniel Palacios cuenta con Masters en “Arte y Tecnología”, “Arte en la Esfera Pública” y “Artes Visuales y Multimedia”, junto al Diploma de Estudios Avanzados en Bellas Artes. Visto en términos estrictamente formales, su trabajo se basa en maquinaria compleja y software difícilmente comprensible, y, más allá de estos aspectos técnicos, su interés reside en la relación que guarda con cuestiones extremadamente humanas y filosóficas acerca de la percepción, la memoria, el tiempo y el espacio. Lo fascinante de las obras de Palacios surge de estas imágenes y experiencias intuitivamente comprensibles, resultado de una metódica exploración del mundo, así como de la discrepancia entre la precisión técnica de su ejecución y una reproducción subjetiva de la realidad, representando las intrincadas relaciones que se dan en un determinado momento y lugar. Sus proyectos han sido presentados en museos, festivales y ferias de arte en Europa, Asia y América incluyendo CAAC, MEIAC, ZKM, NAMOC, Ars Electrónica, FILE, Science Gallery, LABoral, VOLTA y ARCO entre otros. Ha sido invitado en dos ocasiones a representar a España en la Trienal Internacional de Media Art (organizada en el Museo Nacional de Arte de China) y sus trabajos han sido producidos para colecciones privadas, instituciones tales como la Bienal de Arte y Tecnología de Noruega, y empresas de la talla de Nike Sportswear. Galardonado en numerosas ocasiones, incluyendo dos veces los premios internacionales VIDA Arte y Vida Artificial, su trabajo es ampliamente reconocido y ha sido editado en diversos libros y publicaciones especializadas como Leonardo de MIT Press o Art+Science Now del profesor Stephen Wilson (Ed. Thames & Hudson), al igual que expuesto individualmente en I+CAS, Casal Solleric, MAG y Palacio de Orive entre otros centros artísticos.

Grandiflora : Recent Paintings by Daniel Mafe

Grandiflora: Recent Paintings by Daniel Mafe The paintings of Grandiflora are improvised around a range of different flower motifs culled from medieval textiles and botanical illustrations. Each of the paintings is constructed upon a ground of flat, palely luminous yellow occasionally supplemented by additional areas of high-keyed pastel. Pink, blue, green and mauve together with the yellow, generate a shimmering and even incandescent glow. The graphic images of the flowers with the flat colour areas are then contrasted and worked over with richly sensual, abstract gestures of paint. Within the work there is a pronounced almost rococo-esque opticality as it operates between these different visual codes of flat colour, recognizable floral forms, and gesture. These codes combine to produce a definite visceral impact on the viewer, a pronounced and tactile sense of the experience and ambiguity inherent in perceiving. This ambiguity is interestingly at odds with the apparently clean and crisp quality each painting demonstrates as an integrated whole. Indeed each piece goes on to reveal, despite the use of overt figurative quotations, a sense of the purely abstract which in its turn concretely establishes the ornamental.

Origins of Australian Football: Victoria's Early History. Volume 1 Amateur Heroes and the Rise of the Clubs, 1858 to 1876

This is volume 1 in a series of four volumes about the origins of Australian football as it evolved in Victoria between 1858 and 1896. This volume addresses its very beginnings as an amateur sport and the rise of the first clubs. Invented by a group of Melbourne cricketers and sports enthusiasts, Australian Rules football was developed through games played on Melbourne's park lands and was originally known as "Melbourne Football Club Rules". This formative period of the game saw the birth of the first 'amateur heroes' of the game. Players such as T.W. Wills, H.C.A. Harrison, Jack Conway, George O'Mullane and Robert Murray Smith emerged as warriors engaged in individual rugby-type scrimmages. The introduction of Challenge Cups was an important spur for this burgeoning sport. Intense competition and growing rivalries between clubs such as Melbourne, South Yarra, Royal Park, and Geelong began to flourish and the game developed as a result. By the 1870s the game "Victorian Rules" had become the most popular outdoor winter sport across the state. In subsequent decades, rapid growth in club football occurred and the game attracted increasing media attention.
