La instalación Bandera Falsa formará parte de la exposición Lo que nos queda por hablar en el Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos de Santiago, Chile. En el marco de los 50 años del golpe de Estado en Chile, esta muestra propone un despliegue de narrativas alternativas, diálogos y reflexiones sobre la memoria de la dictadura civil-militar chilena y de la dictadura franquista española, a partir de obras de artistas contemporáneos/as de ambos países. La exposición se piensa como una caja de resonancia donde los elementos del presente, del pasado y la prefiguración del devenir reverberan en un complejo entramado que interpela nuestra propia configuración de mundo y remiten a seguir accionando desde nuevos espacios de sentido.

We have been selected for an artists' residency in the Swiss Alps, at Kunstdepot Göschenen. The scenery is breathtaking, and we look forward to being inspired by this violent landscape. Thanks also to the Mondriaan Foundation, for making our stay possible!

Reverse Archaelogy 43°15’35”N2°56’14.9”W is a Time Capsule that will be hermetically sealed as a testimony to the current ecological and historical moment. It contains a selection of objects gathered by students of the Master in Practice and Theory in Contemporary Arts and Culture at the UPV/EHU and Azkuna Zentroa. During a workshop of ten days, they reflected on their role as authors in the transformation of cultural codes over time and on the relationship between object, image and text.

A detailed inventory of their contributions will be exhibited in the Exhibition Hall of Azkuna Zentroa during Prototipoak, Biennial of New Artistic Forms. A printed catalogue will also be distributed, in order to leave a record of the Time Capsule's contents outside the box.

On the 2nd of June, the Time Capsule will be handed over to the care of Azkuna Zentroa, and placed into a niche of the central atrium, where it will remain hidden from sight and unopened for a thousand years.

Curators Kim Bouvy and Mariska van den Berg invited Iratxe to talk about the film Under the Wing for Radio Paleis Maashaven. Taking some audio fragments from the film as a starting point, we will converse about the translation between sound and image and radio as public space.

The live broadcast took place from the Sculpture Park at Art Rotterdam, and can be found now in Operator Radio or Spotify.
