What do we mean and cultural health? In the article 'A focus per a reflection: l'EACC', Eric Gras notes that the existence of centers like the Espai d'Art Contemporani is fundamental to the cultural health of a country, through the dialogue that is established between the city and art. Today, schools and the promotion and dissemination of these have become almost vital importance to the cities. An example is the city of Perm - less than one million inhabitants located in the Urals - which has become a contemporary model of cultural development. What is the secret? by Marat Guelman - director of the Museum of Perm - to "create a network that gives a profile that fits the needs of each city as the Guggenheim museum produces chain McDonald's culture. " Thus, Perm has reduced migration and flood the streets of art.
To understand a little better this should go back to the current deconstruction and Derridian heideguerianas - Heidegger and Derrida, it is understood - that is, must be decentralized, considering the country as a whole, an organism. Therefore, each city would be a body with a function determined, so that each city should have its own face. And that is exactly what you're trying to accomplish in the capital de la Plana with centers such as the EACC - by highlighting the text in its own fat - and galleries and the historic and Cànem, which call for an art contemporary character.
An evolution
Gradually we have evolved and building solid pillars in terms of artistic quality. Pilar Dolz gallery itself says what kind of art purporting to show when they opened Cànem Gallery in 1974, "an art close to us, the artists' expectant of novelty in a sleeping city to the innovations of the new artistic languages." Today the city seems sleep is waking lethargy and increasingly interested in art. Perhaps, although the road has been arduous, Cànem finally achieved his goal of becoming a fundamental underpinning from which to contemplate life through art.
On the other hand, Manuel Alegre says that "not enough to have good artists in Castellón, but requires a critical message committed, ambitious and powerful means of communication that are committed to the renewal and excellence, a good network of galleries, art centers, museums and collections with international contacts that can enhance the production, dissemination and exchange between artists, etc.. " I can only agree with him, but disagree when he says that no such message Castellón critic committed or exists under precarious and fragile. In this regard, I would add to the above by Alegre on track Castellón. We also need to assess very positively the efforts of some individuals, institutions, galleries and media to complete a project of such characteristics. For the moment, and I believe we have the Espai d'Art Contemporani and Cànem the undisputed head, thanks to its socio-cultural work in promoting local artists, national and international social networks and increase build connections with various centers, museums and galleries in the rest of Spain and the world favoring thus the exchange between artists in the unanimous view of absolute quality. A quality that is also found in young people who go year after year, the classrooms of the Escola d'Art i Superior de Disseny de Castelló, Castellon although many do not believe or have not yet realized.
To further explore these approaches and many more, Cuadernos should read 'AvantGuard', a magazine published by the cultural association Colla Rebombori and that will debut next March 17 at the bookstore Babel of Castellón. The publication includes the participation of Josep Miquel Carceller, Rosalía Torrent, Eric Gras, Pilar Dolz, Miquel Gomez, Francesc Aguilar i Domenjó, and Alain Vidal Vicent Campos, José Antonio Arias, Miquel Mañez Monar, Rafale Añón Ballester, Jaime Giménez de Haro , J. Enrique R. Collado, Fine Amat, Antoni Albalat, Alex Domenech, Sergio Abad, Porcelli Queral xipella, Rozable Gumbau Gonzalez Manuel Garcia Grau, Manuel Alegre and Maria Angels Aparisi Ferran Pons.
Let me conclude by highlighting the sentence of American novelist Thomas Louis Berger introduces us to these 'AvantGuard': "What is art but a way of looking?". This is exactly what they want from the Colla Rebombori, analyze and discover the art of looking through our land, Castellón.
