As the venue for the opening of the Festival Miradas de Mujeres de 2014, LABoral will host the performance Adamantina by Proyecto Piloto.
The performance of Adamantina, at Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial de Gijón, a hybrid proposal of dance-performance and plastic and sound art which develops around the problems of women, gender and identity in contemporary art. This creation by Proyecto Piloto uses the female body-meat to criticise the artistic deformation and the exhibitionist aspect of art. The artists work starting from a body which is questioned and then re-invents itself, a sacred place which also becomes a victim, staging itself based both on freedom and on sacrifice. The performance is carried out by Rebeca Martin, Mariate García, Patricia Vázquez and Carmen Vázquez, and the music is by Eugenia (Mind Revolution).
Festival Miradas de Mujeres is an initiative of MAV, Mujeres en las Artes Visuales, a statewide non-profit interbranch association made up by 400 plastic arts professionals based in Spain. Their aim is to disseminate the role of women in all professional fields of visual arts, from artistic creation to curatorship, artistic criticism, research and management. In line with this objective, the Festival invites museums, galleries, art centres and universities to join in with exhibitions and activities by female artists during the month of March, with the purpose of bringing together as many exhibitions by female artists as possible and to occupy the exhibition agenda of that month, at national level and, starting this year, at international level.
