La cultura (Culture) uses three statements: “No-one lacks culture”; “If your head is cut off there’s no culture”; and “Culture is the pastime of death” to define the word culture in today’s society and the vision of and relationship with culture held by Los Torreznos, humans from the Western world.
The idea is to try and construct a kind of conference on culture, with culture itself reflecting some of the main opinions about the subject.
Ever since they were small they’ve been interested in culture, they’ve worked in the world of performance, they love other species of live beings, they know people who seriously lack culture, and that’s why they’re doing this.
BIO
Los Torreznos (J. Vallaure & R.Lamata)
Are one of the most important groups dedicated to independent artistic creation in Spain (Venice Biennale, 2007). Their art is a conceptual exploration of deep-rooted habits and our social and political environments.
They have worked together since 1992 on a variety of projects to do with ‘experimental art’; they research ways of recounting things so that not just a few can understand but so that anybody in their own way can access something different to what they’re used to.
Their works have been shown around the world, including Finland, Russia, Norway, Palestine, Germany, France, China, Jordan, Belgium, the USA, Egypt, the UK, Switzerland and Spain.
