RESIDENT COLLECTIVE PROGRAMME
Kinu
Tractora Koop. E. Usue Arrieta and Ainara Elgoibar, from the cooperative of artists Tractora Koop.E., develop the Kinu project within the framework of the Azkuna Zentroa Resident Collectives programme. Kinu is a platform to programme, view and discuss artists' audiovisual productions. It is a quarterly meeting point where an artist is invited to show his/her work and share a workshop to reflect as a group on this type of practice and its specifics. The project consists mainly of three parts: Public Presentation
Quarterly workshops beginning with the screening and public presentation of the work from the guest artist, followed by a small colloquium. Kinu started with a pilot session Kinu# 1 with artist Elena Aitzkoa. It started as a resident collective in AZ in September with Kinu# 2, with Maddi Barber as guest artist, and continued with Kinu#3 in November, with a session dedicated to the filmmaker Sabine Groenewegen. In April it was followed by Kinu#4, in a double session with Andrés Duque as guest. Kinu#5 was dedicated to artist Imogen Stidworthy (London, 1963), showing a selection of her audio, film and multimedia installations. Lantaldea
After each public presentation, there is a a session led by the artist together with a stable work group (Lantaldea), whose dynamics is tailored to each guest artist. Workshop Lantaldea#1 and Lantaldea#2
focused on filming, with an audiovisual piece as the result. One piece shot in 16mm, mounted on camera, developed and projected on the same day of the workshop. Lantaldea # 3 focused on the act of putting together a film from foreign materials, starting from the master class held by Sabine Groenewegen. Lantaldea#4. It was directed by the filmmaker Andrés Duque, who discussed the techniques developed by Augusto Boal to film improvisation. The methodology developed by Boal since the 70s, to which they called the Theater of the Oppressed, understands that whoever transforms reality is transformed in the act of transforming. Distirak
Finally, the project is completed with a text (Distirak) written by a person of the workshop, where the experience of each Lantaldea is presented. In the first workshop that took place in Azkuna Zentroa, the Distirak# 2 text was provided by the audiovisual artist Ander Pérez. Distirak# 3 text was provided by the artist Pablo Marte, and the Distirak#4 text was provided by the artist Leire Aranberri (Bilbao, 1993). The writing of Distirak#5 was carried out by Ohiane Iraguen (Bilbao, 1985) whose recent work is also closely linked to sound and performativity. 'Kinu' is developed in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Linguistic Policy of the Basque Government.
Through the Resident Collective programme we closely work together with groups in their work with artistic forms and contemporary culture from very diverse ways and viewpoints, favouring mutual complicity when it comes to articulating the cultural programme.
