BLANCA ALONSO
Estoy muy contenta y agradecida de formara parte de este proyecto porque reune tres aspectos que son importantes pilares en mi trabajo y forma de entender la vida, comunidad, que para mi es un concepto revolucionario y transformador dentro de nuestra sociedad individualista, sostenibilidad, como única proyección de un posible futuro y arte que es mi medio de expresión más intuitivo y sensitivo."
"I am very happy and grateful to be part of this project because it brings together three aspects that are important pillars in my work and way of understanding life. Community, which for me is a revolutionary and transformative concept in our individualistic society. Sustainability, as the only projection of a possible future. And art, which is my most intuitive and sensitive means of expression."

Blanca Alonso 1980 Fine Arts Madrid. Blanca Alonso comes from a family in which art, drawing and children's literature were part of her environment when she was a child. In 2009 she created the company Coloradas, a children's theatre project, where the illustrations are created live. As a result of this work, the artist began to make projections on façades, moving more into the field of ephemeral installations and urban projections. Discipline: Video / Performance |
NOMADIC ISLAND PROJECT
Me encantaría desarrollar en esta residencia un proyecto participativo, de laboratorio de creación, en el
que juntos y utilizando el mágico y arcaico lenguaje de las sombras, creemos realidades efímeras para
poder compartirlas."
"During this residency, I would love to develop a participatory project, a creative laboratory, in which together and using the magical and archaic language of shadows, we create ephemeral realities in order to share them."
FACTORÍA UTOPÍA
"In this dystopian reality, I do not want to lose hope. To me, this is the creative and transforming impulse that will allow us to look forward"
Blanca worked with very basic material to create together with the participants shadows and projections. Video-mapping, live digital drawing, analog object shadows and Chinese shadows constituted the material to modify existing realities and create utopian universes. A collective artistic experience which flowed into a participative performance.

Reflections after Nomadic Island
How it started...
For me, this experience has been very interesting in many aspects. A very positive factor was the involvement in the creative process of the artists with the participants who came to see us. Also the dialogue and assembly intention during the experience. I was personally interested in the coexistence with the rest of the artists and being able to see their creative processes and the development of their work during those three weeks. This activity would not have been possible without the work of the organizers and the economic infrastructure behind it. Thanks to all of them! |
