04 Dec La Distopía del Arte – Rendibú Awards 2020
La Distopía del Arte by Abraham Hurtado
“How to overcome a wound as a group, as an ecosystem or as a tribe”
On December 4, the 2020 edition of the Rendibú Arts Festival was held in Murcia. This year, the awards ceremony was conceptualized by the artist Abraham Hurtado.
Together with Body in Crisis working group – conformed by more than 15 artists – and the audiovisual designer Nicolás Dardano (trompo.tv), Hurtado set up a staging with the title “The dystopia of art”.
The proposal, with clothing by the fashion designer Pedro Lobo and the artist Diego Lobenal, was conceived in a live cinema format: through projections and a series of objects made with discarded materials, a ritual atmosphere was established on the award stage, and the prizes were given as offerings.
The dystopia of art reflected on the encounter of bodies with the landscape and invited viewers to ask themselves how to collectively overcome wounds.
