PROJECTS IN WHICH I PARTICIPATE
EXHIBITION "THE ART OF MANUFACTURING".
13th edition of KREA BIDASOA - Ficoba - 7th April 2022
Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Creativity
The town councils of Irun and Hondarribia, through Bidasoa activa, have held the thirteenth edition of Krea Bidasoa in Ficoba. Throughout the day, a wide range of activities, workshops and spaces have been held, which have served as a meeting point for entrepreneurs, companies and other public and private organisations.
On the upper floor of Ficoba, the exhibition 'The art of manufacturing' curated by Helga Massetani Piemonte of Bitamine Faktoria has been installed. Each of the pieces on display has been created ad hoc to represent values, experiences and innovation.
As a mediation component to understand this exhibition in context, guided tours have been offered to explain the curatorial discourse as well as a tour of each of the pieces.
This exhibition invites us to reflect on our culture, but thinking of culture from the point of view of the anthropologist and historian Melville Herskovits as "the part of the environment made by people *1".
One of the defining features of culture is that it makes possible a better adaptation to the physical environment, with the use of very diverse material means and instruments that allow us to rise above the possibilities set by natural logic.
These pieces, which transmit a discourse based on the banners proclaimed by each artist, also show a commitment to improve the quality of life and a readaptation to the new urgencies demanded by our environment.
Each of the pieces on display has been created ad hoc to represent values, trajectories and innovation. An effort has been made to understand and translate the language used in the field of industry and manufacturing into the language of art, the creative process and curatorial discourse.
The authors are all those people who work day in and day out, producing the art of making.
*1 Melville Herkovits' original phrase was "the man-made part of the environment".

INDUSTRIAL MEMORY AND RISK METHODOLOGY - EXHIBITION
Exhibition curated by: Helga Massetani Piemonte
30/03/2023
This exhibition is a slice of the industrial history of the territory. An attempt to highlight the trajectory, the effort, the innovation and creativity of several generations of families that, with a trajectory of more than 50 years, increase the industrial heritage of our context.
Industrial production has an important cultural value. Through the material produced, we are introduced into a story that tells us much more than the manufacture itself. It offers us a deeper reflection of interrelationships between various contexts such as geographical, historical, political and social.
And as the industrial sector has been the driving force of our society since the industrial revolution, they are constantly affecting each other. Wars, crises, different policies shape the trajectory of society, people and their life projects. The industries led by these people have constantly had to face adaptation, transformation and updating in order to reassert themselves.
Risk, necessity and effort are constants that they have had to deal with throughout their careers. The experience of these people, which has been passed down from generation to generation, is the advantage they count on to be the consolidated companies of today, because the key to a good project, a good idea or good management lies in the people.
