Shedding the skin

A project by Alex de Europa & Enrique Tomás, with guest curator Txema Agiriano.

  After the end of the industrial production era, some cities pursued transformation through the idea of becoming living labs, platforms for innovation and manufactures of future. The blast furnaces and industrial factories which once forged the economy, shed their skin into a new stage of society ́s development, where the economy underwent a transition from the production of goods to theprovision of services along with the valuation of knowledge and the service of the creative culture.This metamorphosis is known in sociology as the post-industrial society.

  Linz and Bilbao are two cities sharing strategical stages of development. From heavy industries to services, from ecological disasters and a darkened polluted face to the transformation of the city through architectural and artistic façades, shining titanium and electric neons as active agents of an environmental and urban regeneration. The rivers Danube and Nervión, once a main waterway for commerce and communication, gradually have become the spatial context for cultural and artistic institutions and events. A decoy for tourism.

  Through a process of artist in residence, five experimental female artists and a curator based in Bilbao are arriving to Linz for showing artistic parallelisms and analogies in art, music and experimental practices, exploring the post-industrial relations between Linz and Bilbao and vice versa.
