For the four days of ARTBO | Weekend, the collective of artists Babel Media Art, has thought of four artists who work in one way or another with hidden message transmitters. A group interested in the mysticism of furtive places, inquirers of the exotizable and questioners of the landscapes that the twentieth century left us. The four artists that we present for the continuous programming of Torre Colpatria, work from political situations or historical events that deserve to be revisited, and from reflections related to re-thinking or re-connoting the landscape, each from a particular position or practice.
From small and formal gestures, or grandiloquent and full of ideological connotation, the artists proposed by BMA for ARTBO | Weekend, they generate fundamental questions about language, about otherness, about systems that generate an irruption in the landscape, filling the dark night in the middle of the excess of luminous urbanity.
The height of the Tower allows the overflow of these hidden messages to passers-by who were never interested in art, but also winks at those who possibly have had contact with the work of some of these artists and who recognize some detail of his speech; generating in this case, from a particular position (a private tower that floods the night with light) of access to information, also provoking an experience charged with possible premonitions.
