Morbis artis: diseases of the arts

What constitutes life, what counts as a sentient being, and who gets to determine what lives are saved, punished, exploited and destroyed?

Composed of eleven separate but connected installation works, Morbis Artis explores the question of organic life through particular artistic lenses, each taking on the moniker of disease to represent and embody the issues that challenge bare life today.

Drawing upon Frances Stracey, the artists working on this exhibition consider Bio-art to represent ‘a crossover of art and the biological sciences, with living matter, such as genes, cells or animals, as its new media’.

El museo de la arepa

El Museo de la Arepa es un restaurante que estará ubicado en la localidad de La Candelaria en la ciudad de Bogotá, con un enfoque de autoservicio que ofrece arepas típicas colombianas en cinco variedades distintas, cada una de las cuales representa una región del país. Sera constituida a través de la Sociedad por Acciones Simplificada S.A.S. El proyecto nace de la iniciativa de dos familias y de sus gustos gastronómicos y tradiciones familiares. Queremos crear un espacio de ocio dedicado a la cultura y a la cocina y que resalte uno de los productos insignias, símbolo de nuestra identidad colombiana e icono de nuestra gastronomía: la arepa. Queremos convertirnos en la mejor opción para comer arepas en Bogotá y ofrecerle a nuestros comensales, además de un producto delicioso y de la mejor calidad, un lugar de esparcimiento diferente en el que se encuentren con el arte local de esta zona por medio de exposiciones de artistas urbanos, presentaciones musicales y de danza y una conceptualización tipo museo del lugar. Nos encontramos en una etapa de consolidación y se espera realizar la apertura del restaurante en enero de 2017. Actualmente, se está realizando la búsqueda del establecimiento donde nos ubicaremos en La Candelaria entre los barrios La Catedral y la Concordia.

Subsídios para a joalharia contemporânea em Portugal

Para se efectuar a investigação sobre a joalharia portuguesa contemporânea, a partir de 1950, procedeu-se ao seu enquadramento histórico e geográfico. À semelhança do que se verificava resto do mundo, constata-se uma interdisciplinaridade com as restantes artes plásticas (em especial com o design). E consequente alteração das formas, materiais e técnicas anteriormente usadas. Também ao nível da função da jóia se observaram alterações. Foi, então, estudada a relação da joia com o corpo. Portugal conta com um conjunto de artistas joalheiros em plena produção. Existem estruturas de ensino e profissionais, sem, contudo, haver um museu de joalharia contemporânea. Mesmo assim, é de notar o elevado número de exposições e projectos relacionados com esta temática. Neste panorama, surge uma joalharia contemporânea liberta de uma identidade, que permite que o trabalho de cada artista seja singular, sem obedecer a regras limitativas ou castradoras da criatividade. /ABSTRACT: It was during the 50s that in order to carry out the research on the contemporary portuguese jewellery, one had to establish its historical and geographical approach. As it happened in the rest of the world, one may say there was an interdisciplinary with the other fine arts (specially with the design) and the consequent change in the shapes, materials and techniques previously used. The jewel was not an exception to these changes as far its function is concerned. Due to these factors, the relationship between the jewel and the body started to be studied. Nowadays Portugal counts a set of jewelers in full production. There are specialized schools in this area as well as professionals although there isn't a museum of contemporary jeweler. ln spite of this, a huge number of exhibitions and projects concerning this area, take place in Portugal. Taking all these aspects into consideration, a free contemporary jewelry is emerging, allowing the work of each artist may be unique without obeying to any strict or limitative rules that could work as a barrier to their creativity.
