ARCHIVO POSTCAPITAL: MADRID (POSTCAPITAL ARCHIVE: MADRID)
Fiesta de mucho bailar para todas las edades (Lots-of-Dance Party for All Ages) is completed with the work by artist Daniel García Andújar. To enhance the entertainment value of the party as a space of encounter, Andújar uses his particular vision to re-create the recent and distant memory of the city of Madrid, including connections with other points in La noche en blanco and other points in the city, creating a kind of panoptic that helps us to understand what it means to meet up and dance around Cibeles, the centre of the world for one night.
Archivo postcapital: Madrid is a graphic performance produced by Technologies To The People / La noche en blanco and sponsored by the Chinese company Xiu-Shui. It is also part of the broader project Postcapital archive (1989-2001), which the artist has been developing since 2004.
For years, the artistic practice of Daniel G. Andújar has been based on the re-interpretation, re-appropriation and re-contextualisation of audiovisual materials. With this new production for La noche en blanco, the artist is reviving some of his tactical-media techniques which abounded in his projects from the mid-1990s. This is a project that deals with the cultural user one-to-one, casting doubt on the role of the audience as a passive element and static consumer. Its main goal is to forge a close dialogue among the participants, which through artistic practice generates reflection about the new processes that are transforming our reality, as well as the potential for a more open, complex and critical interpretation of issues that concern this artist. This project follows in the footsteps of others like iSam (Street Access Machine), launched by Technologies To The People in Hamburg in 1996.
