LANEAN. PARTISTIC PROCESSES SUPPORT PROGRAMME
Artoteka
Everyday Spaces for Art Artoteka, the platform for the loan of contemporary art works and mediation between artists and citizens, inhabits until 11th April the Galeria Mediateka space within the framework of Lanean, the processes support programme. The purpose of this artistic mediation project is to create new audiences for and publicise the work of local artists. The Artoteka platform loans works of art and mediates with creators to bring their art closer to everyday life and different audiences. The project emerged in response to the need to create new ways of disseminating and spreading contemporary art, of forming connections between contemporary art and society, and promoting new economic models for artists. How does it work? Artoteka includes a collection of works by ten local artists, designed specifically for the project, and demonstrates the diversity and richness of contemporary art creation at the local level. It is a hybrid collection with works from various disciplines (drawing, photography, painting, sculpture, video, etc.) that seeks to showcase themes of interest to the artists by linking art to other areas of knowledge.
Until April 11 Monday to Saturday: 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. Sundays: 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. Galeria Mediateka (Mediateka BBK) Free admission until full capacity is reached Artists taking part: Belén Cerezo, Helena Goñi, Juana García, Mawatres, Raisa Alava, Raquel Asensi, Raquel Meyers, Saioa Olmo, Tunipanea, Victoria Ascaso
The users select one or more of these works to borrow for their homes, workplaces or studios. The works are loaned for at least 3 months and the transporting and set-up process is supervised by the Artoteka team. For each loan, mediation activities are designed based on the space and the needs and interests of the users and artists. In this way, spaces are created that allow artists and communities to meet and reflect collectively on the works and their meaning.
The aim of Lanean. Program to support artistic processes is to support the production of artistic works, bringing them closer to public communities, either through the completed work or through creative processes. The Mediateka BBK organises the Gure ARTEan educational programme in collaboration with Artoteka. Further information: page 66. 60
