In its 10th edition, the ARCOmadrid BEEP Electronic Art Award gives a prize to Brazilian artist Analívia Cordeiro for her installation video “M3X3” (1973), presented at the Anita Beckers Gallery and this work now is part of the Electronic Art BEEP Collection.
Undoubtedly, this a referential and historical work, which restates the dance language from a special note, and articulates then through a pioneer computing program.
Analívia Cordeiro is on the trace of the neo-concrete art and linked both the first evolutions related to the artistic-technologic programming and the changes related to the modern dance and performance. The work presents a new element at the BEEP collection by uniting corporality-formalization sequential post-minimalist and computing.
This is the first Analívia Cordeiro’s piece acquired by collections in Spain, so it her first participation at the ARCO fair. With a special mention, the jury, composed of Fernando Castro-Florez, Roberta Fosco y Marie-France Veyrat, on behalf of BEEP, has decided to recognize the works by:
Luca Pozzi “Trinity Platform” from Enrico Astuni Gallery with a sculpture in which the mirror and forms apparently rocky along with illumination create a feeling of softness and mystery. It is about a work with excellent formalization and has an aesthetically sensual aspect.
Martín Freire “Behind the scene I” Alarcón Criado Gallery with a work re-thinking the painting process as if it were a broken hoarding without identifiable signs. The procedure, apparently failed, metaphorically alludes to the communicative collapse and the necessity to articulate allegorical senses to understand the complexity of our world.
The BEEP Collection starts a new stage in its 10th anniversary with a acquisitions policy and research programs as well as a production to support the art as foundation.
