Rafael Alberti in "Ballad for Andalusian poets today", published in Ora maritime followed by ballads and songs of Parana (1953), a series of questions about the Andalusian poets then made: singing, what they look, how they feel? Later, the band Aguaviva, in 1969, He performed a song widely enjoyed in the last years of Franco. From both cases, again now, slightly modifying the questions and substituting poets artists, it seems necessary to wonder about what to think and feel in a difficult context, Crisis and Transformation. O well, sintetizando, challenged about the possibilities of action and reflection that could have contemporary art, which it occurs in our time and in our common space. If poetry (the art) It was a weapon loaded with future-as Gabriel Celaya wrote in the years 50 the twentieth century, You can now corresponds a labor of resistance, not only political, but also aesthetic.

How do you feel, what the Andalusian artists now think? This is the question that have made themselves the commissioners and, turn, the ten participating artists in the show. The latter born after 1980, all Andalusians or residence in this community. The issue is made at a time of political and social change, in which it seems to have symptoms of awareness by citizens, that could well feel the need to play a leading role.

All projects presented here have been specifically produced for the exhibition. Julia Llerena (Seville, 1985) and Cristina Mejías (Jerez de la Frontera, 1986) use the video as a support to reflect on some issues such as access to housing and communication, allegorically presented here under the starry sky and metaphors dressage horse, respectively. Using Internet, both Jose Iglesias Gª-Arenal (Madrid, 1991) as José Jurado (Córdoba, 1984) We talk about the periphery, the latter through a collaborative work in collecting opinions of community members Andalusian creators. The collective is also very important in the work of Daniel Silvo (Cádiz, 1982) who has become one of the rooms of the CAAC in workplace and living space for nine other young artists. For his part, Javier Artero (Melilla, 1989), Leonor Serrano Rivas (Málaga, 1986), Fuentesal&Arenillas (Huelva, 1986 and Cadiz, 1989) and Gloria Martín (Seville, 1980) They have worked specifically with space. The first two, creating a sort of scenery in which it is the viewer who produce the final activation works. Leonor is more related to the architecture of the place while Artero raises the question of antagonisms through a video in which collects fragments of events experienced on a walk. While, installing Fuentesal&Arenillas dialogue with the physical context, social and emotional in which you enroll. Last, Gloria Martín delves with his painting invisible storage spaces of this museum, semioculta memory of the vicissitudes of artistic policy in Andalusia.
