Inertia | Carlos Irijalba | 2012 | 04:20 min.
	Inertia deals with the construction of reality through the transit of light from one location to another. In Inertia the route is a place and the vector is imposed to the object. The present thus tends to vanish in a continuous movement: the outcome is, indeed, it’s non presence. In its four-minute length, an specific accident occurs when the fragile standards of the narrative meets the sophistication of the scenical as they confront the unavoidable physicality (gravity, weight or volume) of the elements they serve. Here and now, here and now, here and now…. Carlos Irijalba (Pamplona, 1979) Actual resident at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam (2013-2014). He graduated in 2002 at the Fine Arts Basque Country University and studied at UDK Berlin. Awarded the Revelation PhotoEspaña Prize, among others, he also received the Guggenheim Bilbao Photography grant in 2003 or the Marcelino Botín Foundation in 2007/08. Irijalba has exhibited at international Art Museums, including the CCCB Barcelona or Herzliya Museum Israel or The Yokohama Art Center. His work analyses the way in which Western culture recreates an abstract medium that loses all relations except to itself. In projects as Twilight (2009) or Inertia (2012) works between relative experience of time and space and the collective construction of the territory.
The Shape of Our Best Intentions | Megan and Murray McMillan | 2011 | 06:09 min.
	This work is inspired by Jan Van Eyck’s “Arnolfini Marriage Portrait” (1434), as a meditation on the institution of contemporary marriage. In the video, a real-life married couple fold sheets in a room on a suspended structure, which is rotating over a reflecting pool of water. The structure is pushed by a group of workers circling the pool. When the structure stops, the couple steps out of the room into the water. They walk to the camera, pick it up, and move it to a crane, which pulls back to reveal the structure which was supporting them. Megan and Murray McMillan, are video, photography and installation artists who have been collaborating since 2002. They have exhibited at the Casa Masaccio Center for Contemporary Art in San Giovanni Valdarno, Italy, the Kunsthallen Brandts in Odense, Denmark, the State Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki, Greece, and the National Museum of Art in La Paz, Bolivia. They are represented by Qbox Gallery in Athens, Greece.

Zimmerreise | Giulio Squillacciotti | 2010 | 02:30 min.
	A woman wanders around the 19th floor of a building, from an anonymous industrialized city. She has been told, through a series of cryptic indications, how to paint an imaginary landscape where to meet with the author of those letters. The geographical and physical distance with the person who is writing to her, can be reduced only through a methodic work of imagination and detach from what is surrounding her. The chance of traveling from a room, by seeing with eyes closed, to a place that exists only in both their minds. The difficult task is here expressed by the contradictory indications he gives her, as an explicit giving of what is a long distance communication with its time lapses. The strength to disclose the hitch can only be found in the accurate recollection of memories she has of their real encounters, once happened, far in time, but far, from where they both came.  Giulio Squillacciotti was born in Rome (I) in 1982 and has been living in Ireland, Spain, U.S.A., and Turkey. He owns a BA in Medieval Art History from Rome University and a MA hons in Visual Arts from the Architecture School of Venice. He is an artist working mainly with film, video, photography, narrative cycles and installations. His work has been exhibited, presented and screened in various international locations like, among the others, the Centre Pompidou and Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the Magasin CNAC in Grenoble (FR), the New York Photo Festival, the Columbia University in New York City and the M.I.T. in Boston (USA), the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin and MAXXI Museum in Rome (I), the Haus der Kultur der Welt in Berlin and the Neues Museum in Weimar (D), the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid and the Manifesta 8 Venue in Murcia (E), the Prague Biennale (CZ). He recently started touring with his brand new feature documentary film on the roman hardcore scene from the 80's, RMHC. He lives in Milan (I) where he produces documentaries for VICE Magazine.
Casi la mitad de la historia | Giulio Squillacciotti | 2011 | 07:46 min.
	All the memory of the world is contained in an old Academy we don’t know the location and time. The quarrel between two men from two different generations is told through vocal notes as annotations for a possible story yet to be told. The argument stands in the chances History has to be written. How do these two persons can tell a story? How do they deal with what History already told and what is possible to add? How to tell something while is happening? A story telling method as an inheritance, to be passed on from Maestro to pupil in the aseptic spaces of an Academy. Looking for the right balance between tradition and the possible re-invention of it, as two different generations and their different approach to key words of the Historic Study. The voice leading us to these spaces has never a face, but her subjective eye has the right detach of the present on past issues. Shot for the double solo show of Antoni Muntadas (E / USA) and Giulio Squillacciotti in Rome (I) in 2011.

Abode of Vacancy | Tanja Deman | 2011 | 6:55 min
	Abode of Vacancy is a video composed of a series of architectural situations in the form of moving image tableaux, where each tableaux represents real and surreal vacant spaces of nature and modernist city, exploring the way we perceive the built environment. With the way of constructing images of displaced buildings and landscape, documentary-like images are transformed into fictional spaces. These spaces represent an ideas and experiments of a modernist concept of a space for collective, rather than a specific space that belongs to a specific place. Ideas implemented in these public structures through its tectonics, stay as reminders to the society of its desired prosperity, intentions, and glorification. Tanja Deman is a visual artist from Croatia. She graduated with a MA at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, after having obtained a MFA and BFA from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. In recent years, her work has been exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions in galleries, museums, video festivals and international fairs through Europe. She has also shown her work in USA and Uruguay. Tanja has won several awards including the prestigious Audience Award, by the Museum of the Contemporary Art Zagreb. She works with photography, video and light installation. Her investigation of collective psychology and space focuses on recently built legacy, specifically in spaces for collectives and their relation to nature.
