The internatioanl film festival Rotterdam,one of the five most important festivals in Europe, with Cannes, Venecia, Berlin and Lorcano will take place in the city from January the 26th to February the 6th, 2011.

The film Where is the black beast? by Simon Lee and Algis Kizys,which is in the festival, becomes into the a filmic interpretation of Ted Hughes’ poetry, using only discarded photographs. With music by Algis Kizys.

This darkly enchanting film offers an interpretation of Crow, by post-war/pre-flower power poet Ted Hughes. It is made from animating hundreds of photographs, all amateur snapshots found in flea markets and junk shops. Lee digs beneath their innocent, familiar surfaces to reveal an extremely dark view of the world and of humanity.

On the occasion of the celebration of 20 years of the association, Galeria Senda wantedto look back for a moment. A wake-up call, a moment of reflection.In the words of Pink Floyd, a message to read backwards, which makes Senda do actual physical exercise and go back in time, briefly reoccupying the space where it was born, in the Pasaje Mercader 4. A return to the womb, the place where the first seed germinated. We found fertile soil that you need in order to reach in the turbulent present.Remembering the beginning, the first steps and that state of purity, almost innocence, anticipation of  an adventure is being  born. Free of charge, free of commitments, where only dreams guide the actions. We seek that state f to review our today in order to change tomorrow.We propose a selection of artists from different nationalities, which, as in our beginnings that are to help us in this exercise to progress and break those invisible borders.Talking to them and the public, we want to look forward. We present a selection of young artists, a proposal is not closed, which bet, creators to DDD (discover, defend, We spread). And while we are grateful to the memory all those people we have been dealing with  over the years, all friendships are built and the energy that today guide and encourages us to continue forward.

The exhibition will also contrast images and bodies of work that will let us think about the concept of space and form, opening our minds aobut the new potencial items of the photographic medium.
The photograph that Anna Malagrida will present, from the Vistas veladas Serie, talks about the limit of vision, the ephemeral of things and the fragility of the world.

For the upcoming edition of Artissima, in the newly inaugurated section of the fair: "Back to the future" Galeria Senda presents Antonio Miralda.
The compendium of works selected for this exhibition is focused on the artist years in Paris (1965-75) when the group of emblematic figures of catalan conceptual art moved to the gallic city.The main piece is the recuperated, restored and remasterised 16mm film "Paris: La Cumparsita" originally realized in 1972. The film has become not only one of Antoni Miralda's key works but also  of catalan conceptual Art in general.
It was filmed with Miralda's friend, Benet Rosell and contains the memoirs of the original and ingenious performance, which narrates the story of soldier around the streets of Paris in search of a pedestal.
A document that recreates the absurdism of militarism war itself in a very critical epoch in Spain, Europe and even the United States; an epoch that can easily find its echoes nowadays.
The exhibition is completed by a series of photographs, paintings, sculptures and posters of the war. His work is an exercise of political and social observation. Miralda is one of the first artists to flee from the oppresive space of the studio and the museum developing his practice in the streets and other territories which can be considered alien to the art cycle.
These pieces must be read as reference points of a trajectory that explore the most complex aspects of our society codified with Miralda's exclusive iconography and languaje. A celebration of senses, life and imagination.
