“ Indipendent Projects are fundamental for the future of Art. Nowdays, there is too much people with fresh and convincing proposals, there is too much emerging creation, and very few exibition spaces. They must arise as many spaces, physical, printed or virtual, as required by the artistic production, letting go the abstract idea that the gallery makes the artist. Without the artistic production, galleries are just naked wall rooms. “ D.D.
INTERVIEW WITH CATALINA RESTREPO, DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER OF “LAR�
www.livingartroom.com www.livingartroom.com
WHAT IS LAR? LAR, acronym for Living Art Room, is a platform for communication and exchange that promotes the work of artists and curators through full portfolios that show the high quality of its proposals, both in terms of concept and technique. It is a real and virtual space where people from different professional lines meet to discuss, generate ideas and share experiences in a constructive manner. Important part of the whole project is linking social networks to fuel our diffusion strategy. We have profile, group and fan page on Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Blogspot, Wordpress, Gmail Buzz, Twitter and finally Issuu, which published LARrevista and LARmagazine; a bilingual publication by means of which we present the new portfolio, updates, and content that in some way related to Living Art Room.
HOW DID IT GET STARTED AND HOW DID YOU DEVELOPED IT? It started 5 years ago in Bogota Colombia, where i’m from, with the name of Galer_a, few semesters before I finish my career. Initially this effort was more aimed at artists who were starting. However, I met an artist already well known, Lagos, I contacted him and he told me ... "portfolio? Please built mine. " That moment was revealing, I just realized that artists who already were working and exhibiting knew well what they needed in a portfolio ... and it was. We started making Miler's portfolio and later those of his studios fellow. A year later, the experience of being in charge of Rococo gallery helped me to get another perspective, the one of the gallery owner. Then I went to Mexico with the objective of promoting the artists we had on the page, which at that time were a good number and everyone had a good level. My main objective was to promote the Colombians here, but I ended up doing some Mexican artists' portfolios who truly left me surprised. I realized the potential of the project and identified areas for improvement and remove others that did not work.
I decided to make a change, I separated from my partner, and I partnered with Jorge Carrera - general coordinator, webmaster and artist of Living Art Room- I selected again artists and portfolios , who wanted to continue with the project, to be transplanted from one page to another. Finally, I gave a new structure to the portfolios, which since this time are bilingual and include a profile statement, artistic references, description of the work and related portfolios of each artist. The menu is much wide and have more applications to display information in a more organized way. I change the name of "Galer_a", which was confused with gallery, to Living Art Room a word game that speaks of live art and the place of to house in which you feel comfortable talking to your guests, to people you care for , you love, you admire.

TO WHOM IT IS ADDRESSED, WHICH IS INTENDED? The project is directed to curators, artists, theorists, critics, researchers anywhere in the world. The general public, whether a connoisseur or not, is a fundamental target since, through Living Art Room, we want the artistic proposals to be understood by everyone, not only by experts.
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS? The goal from the beginning has been to facilitate ways so that artists can do better in a professional field, without the interference of factors external to their work, such as public relations or business skills. And now this same goal extends to the construction of portfolios of curators. The medium-term goals of Living Art Room are: move forward with LARmagazine and LARrevista and, also, carry out the production of a documentary series about the artists who are part of Living Art Room and perhaps better develop the section of the virtual exhibitions. And in the long term, we want to have branches in different countries to make international meetings with artists and create many projects.
IN PARTICULAR, HOW DOES IT WORK? In terms of selection, I'm looking for and visit studios and I ask many references among the artists themselves; in fact if they like somebody else , they can invite him to participate. In terms of career, I value it a lot, but it is not fundamental at the moment to invite someone, I rely only on the value, quality and originality of their proposals. For at the final analysis, in geographic contexts foreign to the artist is quite possible to find many people who does not know his work. In terms of manufacture of the web page, there is no limit on the number of images, videos, special multimedia applications, audio files, and so on.
As the portfolio is being constructed, we give advice to artists in wording or approach to his texts, in work classification, in social networks broadcast and all exhibits and news they send us. In terms of representation, I personally show the portfolios and the overall project to curators, gallery owners and other promoters to eventually achieve linkages. The diffusion strategy we use is based on social networks in which we have contacted more than 10,000 people among friends, followers, fans, etc.. We also have a database of over 6,000 contacts and of course, LARrevista that, to the date, has reached to 86,000 readers.

WOMB Thomas and Rebecca love each other with passion since childhood. When Thomas died, Rebecca clings to it so much that decided to clone it. The unusual combination of two controversial issues (incest and cloning), in undefined space and time, with a great photographic technique and excellent performances, creates a unique and well developed atmosphere. ****

SEGUIR SIENDO In "Being: Café Tacvba" by Ernesto Contreras (Blue Eyelids) and José Manuel Craviotto (The last heroes of the peninsula), musical documentary on "Café Tacuba" it feels every note in a picture and every silence in court. The photography and editing look chameleonic with music and stock material blends perfectly. It is a film whose only weakness is perhaps the abuse of their rhythmic virtues at the expense of the natural ability of the documentary to airing dreams and fears of the characters. **** Direction: Ernesto Contreras y José Manuel Craviotto.

FILM REVIEWS
TAXIDERMIA Three generations of Hungarian men, a soldier, a professional fast eater and a taxidermist. We can talk about many movies, sublime, beautiful, tragic and comic, the truth is that not always have the opportunity to watch a movie ugly and grotesque, but also all, not fall at the end of gore. Taxidermy seems to be an essay about these two aesthetic categories from a perfect design of photography, a careful art direction and first-rate performances. We note the absence of a clear and well justified narrative. However, the concept of Gyorgy Pálfi gives the sensation of seeing an artwork which should not be judged by its structure but by their natural expression of original work . **** Direction: Gyorgy Pálfi Country: Hungría, Austria, Francia Year: 2006 Script: Gyorgy Pálfi, Zsófia Ruttkay, Lajos Parti Nagy Edition: Réka Lemhényi With: Csaba Czene, Gergely Trócsányi, Marc Bischoff, István Gyuricza, Piroska Molnár, Gábor Máté Genre: Drama
LOS LADRONES VIEJOS Documentary which rescues stories of retired thieves in Mexico. If there is a documentary extremely cared as a fiction, that is The Old Thieves: the Legends of Artegio. This Mexican documentary rescues the stories of crime from the perspective of the "bad", enjoy a great Mexican film. *****
