The modernist buildings that house the Museo Trepat de Tàrrega, origin of the social and industrial transformation of the lands of Lleida, will be the venue of the second iteration of EMBARRAT – Festival of Contemporary Creation. The main objectives of this event are to disseminate throughout society the concept of art and thought as critical and engaged attitudes, and to incentivize artistic creation and promote cultural heritage.
Submissions are now being accepted from artists of any discipline and nationality, for the purpose of selecting the artworks that will comprise the group show THE GREAT MACHINE II , and the winners of the EMBARRAT awards.
1. The artistic projects must address a single theme: “Alienation“.
Alienate (translation of entry in the Catalonian Encyclopedia): Make a person or group, under external pressures and conditioning, generally of a sociopolitical nature, act in accordance with interests that are foreign to them, and forsake their own identity. Consumer society may alienate an individual.
Therefore, for the exhibition The Great Machine II , we invite artists to explore and reflect, from any point of view, on this alienated human society and on the consequences that the ideological assimilation of the concept of alienation can have on future generations.
