MIGRANT WORKERS DISCOURSE Histories. Humanities. Arts and the Pandemic!

Concept, Montages, Text, Editing Amrit Gangar

First Edition June 2020 Revised Edition July 2020 (with addition of three Appendices)

Incognito it stalked, lethal on lungs and lives, the corona virus moved across, visibly taking human lives! In India, the most unprecedented tragedy that occurred was millions of migrant workers were thrown on roads, men, women, children walked hundreds of miles to reach their homes… Pandemic had not pre-set such pitiful predicament for them! Something had gone seriously wrong somewhere else…

LLEÓ, ISABELA Sculptor, Painter, Teacher and Clinical Psychologe

Amrit Gangar posted in his page about the woman in India obliged to leave their houses in the city because of the Coronavirus and rejected at the border of their region after walking 200 or 300 km with the baby and their baggage on the head. I was pushed somehow (by him also) by that vision to start working on this image. This is a work slowly coming out – different expression about women identity, and coronavirus. I left everything behind this summer to understand what is going on globally by immersing myself in the eternal life of imagination, everyday feeling more connected to the spirit of the Earth, of the trees of the simplicity, of lives in the countryside in stillness near to the stars. Hearing the sounds from little birds, from the cosmos.

I had never imagined that the muted sighs of a poor migrant worker woman walking miles upon miles, holding a baby in her arms and a bundle of belongings on her head, would reach and rant in the distance Spanish Mallorca Island, in the studios of the eminent sculptor Isabela Lleo. They are indelible instants of human history, of the pandemic and the pain that a woman could bear! -Amrit Gangar

Huntenkunst

ISABELA LLEO is participating in this year edition of Huntenkunst with her alabasterpieces «CLOUDS·

HUNTENKUNST 2020: International Art Manifestation

On May 15,16 and 17 the major international art fair of Huntenkunst will take place for the 28th time. It all happens on the vintage industrial site of the DRU, in the main SSP-hall, a space covering 5500m2. This hall will be turned into a real ‘art village’. It is situated in Ulft, in the eastern part of the Netherlands, near main art-loving cities like Arnhem and Nijmegen.

The names of the participants can be found on www.huntenkunst.nl. As many as 240 artists from 30 countries present their work in their own units. Quality and diversity are keywords. All artists present their work in person. Different techniques and styles of contemporary visual art-forms can be admired.

Each year Huntenkunst highlights one country. This year the spotlight is on Estonia.

Last year we paid special attention to young artists, which turned to be very successful. So this year too, artists that have recently graduated from the Arnhem Art Academy will be present to display their work in a special unit.

Many visitors come to this art fair every year: Huntenkunst doesn’t lose its popularity, not even for regular visitors. This year we welcome more than 65% new participating artists.

In the meantime, preparations for Huntenkunst 2021 (28, 29, 30 May) have already started. If you want to participate, you can make this clear to the balloting committee. You can find the procedure on our website.

Bajo el título “HIVERN”, INVIERNO, presento esta obra creada en 2017 que se incluye en el ciclo de trabajos relativos a los árboles, en este caso almendros, que han sido fotografiados, dibujados, traspasados a planchas de madera, desgravadas las planchas e impresas.

Sobre 10 planchas de contrachapado tamaño 120x100cm están impresos los «AMETLLERS» seguiendo dos procedimientos diferenciados: en blanco y negro sobre papel Hahnemühle de 350 gr, tirada pequeña de 5 ejemplares y una prueba de estado y sobre papel Japonés de arroz a varias tintas, con las que intento captar la luz de febrero.

El ciclo de trabajo completo es “ARBOLES VIVOS, ARBOLES MUERTOS” e incluye dos videos de animación basados en fotografías modificadas y unas esculturas hechas con ramas de almendro con liquen, obra en porcelana con las que cada día construyo un mandala en progreso de transformación constante bajo el título “The Skeleton Woman Spidernet”.

El cuidado de los árboles (esta zona donde vivo están los almendros muy abandonados) me inspira y le da sentido al devenir, determina bajo el signo temporal del contraste la relación precisa del hombre con el universo. La transfiguración, que aquí se lleva a cabo mediante formas tomadas de la naturaleza, tiene lugar en la conciencia creadora del artista. La realidad es experimentada estéticamente por la artista y es una experiencia que compete a todo su ser.

La obra “Ametllers” procede de una serena mirada alrededor. Alrededor de mi misma, del lugar que uno habita. 10 planchas de contrachapado trabajadas una y otra vez hasta dejarlas casi transparentes de tan finas . Los temporales, el liquen que se come los árboles abandonados, la luz de febrero…

TRAMUNTANA MISSION workshop con ROBERT CAHEN Mallorca 2017

Robert Cahen. Paisajes Reproductibilitat 2.4.

Nekane Aramburu como directora de Es Baluard organiza en 2017 un encuentro al que se llamó Tramuntana Missions . Nos encontramos durante unos dias un grupo de artistas que acompañamos y fuimos guiados por el Maestro y pionero del Videoarte para plasmar nuestras impresiones sobre la Sierra de la Tramuntana. Fué un encuentro precioso, caminando por la montaña y encontrando cada uno nuestra manera de expresar las emociones que suscita esta SIERRA DE TRAMUNTANA, el corazon de la isla de Mallorca

Marzo 2018 fué inaugurada la Viedoinstalación de Robert en L’ALJUB. una composición con projecciones de video sobre diversas pantallas que desde un único punto de vista se unían en una sola pantalla formando un gigantesco paisaje. Robert fué capaz de transformar los videos que grabó del paisaje de Mallorca en cuadros de diferentes estilos : yo imaginé que eran cuadros de pintores románticos rememorando a Caspar David Friedrich, de expresionistas como los del grupo Cobra, de expresionistas abstractos americanos como Pollock y otros ….los videos se transformaban en pinturas. Robert ha demostrado con este trabajo su excepcional sensibilidad y gran conocimiento de la pintura. Sería maravilloso que se volvieran a proyectar estos videos algun día…

Gracias Robert y gracias Nekane por vuestros esfuerzos y simpatía en todo momento. Hemos aprendido muchísimo y ha sido un gran placer participar en este encuentro.
