Mind Powers

April 25th, 2006

Surprise, surprise: We’ve been secretly working on a new project here at our underwater complex and it’s time we finally let people know what we’ve been up to. This is one of those projects that put us into a state of a continuous headache and has zero economical return but we can’t help but doing once in a while. In this ocassion the project consists on a open air installation, right in front of the most famous contemporary art museum in Spain, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. For the project we have selected 6 artists or collectives that have something in common: They all come from a Graffiti or Street Art background (most are still active) and also work with video one way or another (wheter is Motion Graphics, Animation…).

These are the participating artists:

Blu (Bologna) www.blublu.org
Finsta (Stockholm) www.finstafari.com/
HearOne (Madrid) www.sintevision.com
Will Barras (Bristol / London) www.willbarras.com
Edbyus - Mr Slurp & G1 of Freaklub- (Barcelona) www.mrslurp.com
Espaun256 & Nano4814 (Madrid) www.espaun.com & www.fotolog.com/nano4814

As you can see the presentation of this installation will be next thursday May 4th but it will be open until May 15th. “Mind Powers” is part of the program of the Cultura Urbana 06 (www.culturaurbana.ya.com) festival consisting of many activities, most of them between the 13th and 14th of may in the Antiguo Matadero space in Madrid. “Poderes mentales”, is a “satellite” activity that has been curated and coordinated by Sergio Aguilar and Juan Abia for Subaquatica and has counted with the support of Montana (www.montanacolors.com).

We will be adding more information and pictures in the mini-site here: www.subaquatica.com/poderesmentales but you can take a look already if you want to find out a little bit more about “Mind Powers”.
