The Azkuna Center will exhibit the new audiovisual narratives

The third edition of BIdeOtik seeks to show works and video creation projects generated and carried out by people from the field of art, creation and culture.

From today until December 19, the Azkuna Center in Bilbao organizes the third edition of BIdeOtik, a cycle that, through video, discovers ways to record and represent what surrounds us, taking into account other audiovisual narratives.

The objective of this program is to make visible works and video creation projects generated and carried out in the local, national and international context, by people from the field of art, creation and culture, who use audiovisual language in a more personal, intimate and close way.

This edition will feature, on the one hand, projects in which video is used as a mediation tool, and on the other hand, the expansion of collaboration, not only with the educational context, but with other cultural agents that contribute to the collaborative construction of BIdeOtik programming.

The first section of the year is constituted as a large block whose focus of attention is social and cultural diversity. Audiovisual mediation, understood as interpersonal communication, as collective memory, as shared identity, will be present in several of the sessions that make up the BIdeOtik 2017 program. This year, as a novelty, a session will be held on the screen of the Azkuna Zentroa atrium. The objective is to bring BIdeOtik programming closer to the public, users and passers-by of this space. For this, the Lebanese artist, resident in Bordeaux, Stéphane Abboud will be present, who will present the audiovisual piece L'autre, an internal-external dialogue between screen and audience.

Again this year there will be a sample session of UPV/EHU and CIFP Tartanga works, due to the good reception it had last year, for the meeting point it represents between the three institutions and for bringing the creations of the video makers and upcoming video makers closer to the public.

And for the third consecutive year the section of Trajectories in which different authors are invited to make a selection and a tour throughout their filmography. The artist Txuspo Poyo will be responsible for curating this section, thus contributing to expanding the collaboration section of BIdeOtik.
