PROJECTS IN WHICH I PARTICIPATE
TRANSBITA
DIZIPLINARTEKO PROPOSAMEN PARTE-HARTZAILE BATEKIN BIDAIATZEN DUEN GAILU MUGIKORRA
2014an, Bitamine Faktoriak 1978ko karabana bat birdiseinatu eta egokitu zuen, eta langune mugikor bihurtu. Edonora doala ere, egoitza gisa erabiltzen da, eta artisten eta jendartearen arteko topagune aparta da. Hartzaile berriak lortzeko, diziplina desberdinetako artistak konektatzeko eta kultura arloan forma berriekin esperimentatzeko tresna da Transbita.
Arte eta kultura garaikidea ikus-entzule talde zabalago bati iritsi behar zaizkio, jendartearengan jakin-mina, interesa eta pentsamendu kritikoa pizteko. Horregatik, ezohiko tokietara hurbiltzen dugu esperientzia hori; bai itsasoaren ondora, bai museo baten sarrerara edo plaza batera, beti topaketa bilatuta. Plazara jalgi denetik, Transbita 10 alditan baino gehiagotan abiatu da, diziplina anitzeko bere proposamen parte-hartzailea soinean eramanda, besteak beste: zuzeneko musika, dantza garaikidea, lan audiobisualak, argi-laborategia, arte plastikoa eta emanaldiak. Azken irtenaldietan, topagune gisa balio izan du, bai eta hainbat programaren baitan proposamen artistikoak biltzeko gune gisa ere; besteak beste, Kontenporanea, A Town That Makes You Happy eta Ribera.

A TOWN THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY #2
ARTE GARAIKIDEA EREMU PUBLIKOAN
Bitamine Faktorian forma hartutako ekimena da A Town That Makes You Happy, eta esku-hartze, ekintza eta lantegi parte-hartzaileei esker eremu publikoan eragin positiboa sortzea du xede. Jakin dakigunez gizartea eraldatzeko tresna boteretsua dela artea, hiri-paisaia aldatu egin nahi dugu, inguratzen gaituena edertzeko. Adibidez, gris-kolorea besterik ez zegoen tokietan koloretako arrastoa uztea, altxatutako horma zatietan mapak kartografiatzea, edo iragarki oldarkorrez jositako paneletan mezu adeitsuak islatzea. Aipatutako adibideak lan iragankorrak diren arren, pertsonen eta tokien memorian diraute luzaroan. Proiektu honek artea ohiko tokietatik at eramaten du, jendarteak ahaztuta dituen edo haientzat ikusezinak diren tokiak hautatuta, tokiotan nekez antolatzen baitira jarduera edo ekitaldi ikusgarriak.
A Town That Makes You Happy proiektuaren bigarren edizioak muina mantendu egin zuen (eremu publikoan parte hartzea, alegia); formatua, berriz, aldatu. Oraingoan, enpresa handien kanpainetarako erabili ohi diren hainbat publizitate-eremu okupatzean zetzan proiektua, modu iragankorrean haietan esku hartzeko, artelanen ohol izan zitezen. Hausnarketarako gonbidapen diren eta nahasmena/harridura sorrarazten duten lanen bidez, komunikazioaren eta kontsumoaren inguruko kontzientziazioa suspertu nahi zen proiektuarekin.
Abenduaren lehen bi asteetan zehar, lanak eremu publikoan jarri ziren ikusgai, artearekin bateragarriak izan ohi ez diren euskarri eta tokietan. Programazioa osatzeko, emakume artista gonbidatuetako laurekin eta Transbitarekin topaketak antolatu ziren. Azken hori Bitamine Faktoriak sortutako karabana ibiltaria da, zeinak hiriko auzo eta kaleetan barrena Estíbaliz Sádabak egindako ibilbidearen lan audiobisuala erakusten baituen.

CALLS IN WHICH PARTICIPATES
EAS-EZE #5
EAS-EZE INTERNATIONALIZATION PROGRAM OF THE CONTEMPORARY BASQUE ART
Bitamine Faktoria is announcing an open call within the framework of its internationalization plan of contemporary Basque art. The aim of this program is to encourage artistic research and production, to contribute the promotion of creators and support the international mobility of artists.
It is open to internationally mobile projects for artists residing and working in the Basque Country, regardless their discipline.
WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?
The grant is carried out in two phases. Initially the project will be developed and contextualized for several months in the Basque Country. Once completed, it will be conveyed to the City of Buenos Aires (Argentina), to be presented in different spaces of contemporary culture.
Together with the local institutions, an agenda of activities will be established in which the artist is expected to participate in galleries, museums, cultural spaces and halls (round tables, debates, workshops, meetings and collective works) along with significant local artists.
BAR #8
BIDASOA ART RESIDENCY
Call for artists from any country and nationality (excepted Spanish) who do not live in Spain and wish to make a residency in the region of Bidasoa (Irun, Hendaia and Hondarribia), located between the Basque Country French and Spanish.
During the residency, the artist will work on her/his perception, a vision of the Basque Country that ’s why the artist will live in a Basque context during her/ his residence, with visits and interviews to different contemporary cultural entities. The objective is to develop a piece of art that we will later exhibit in different sites of Euskal Herria.
WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?
A 40-day stay during which the artist will have accommodation in Irun, as well as a studio workshop and work space. In addition, you will get advices, production services and introductions to various individuals from the Basque Country’s art and cultural field to carry out your project.
HAU #3
TRADITIONAL BASQUE OBJECTS DESIGN COMPETITION
The aim of this call is to update the design of a traditional object present in the Basque culture. In this way, we contribute on the one hand, to research and the eventual recovery of traditional customs and on the other hand, to an adaptation, renewal and reinterpretation from the point of view of contemporary design. We would like to establish new relationships with our history and to expand the lines of research and the action fields of design.
The piece to be reviewed in this call is the zizeilu, a wooden bench-table used on farms all over the Basque Country.
This call is opened to any person or legal entity of any age (students, professionals or collectives) in the design field (industrial and product design, architecture, engineering, fine arts, etc.) from any country. Participation in the competition is free.
