ACTE 20: Daniela Ortiz, Black Round Table” is the presentation that Zero Level of the Suñol Foundation in Barcelona Spain will exhibit. This project was the winner of the 3rd edition of the scholarship held annually in conjunction with the institution Can Xalant Creation Centre of Mataró.
What Daniela Ortiz has done in her productión “Black Round Table” is a documentary which aims to make a utopia of what Gassama did, an important artist from Senegal who settled in Barcelona and goes from the concepts that existed in the forefront of the Soviet Russia to modern architecture that currently exists in the West, this way Ortiz looks at the fragmentation, the instability and the location of objects of that time and she links them with today.
In the documentary you can watch and enjoy some of the most important art works that were made during the twentieth century. Among them are some of Le Corbusier, Miles van der Rohe and the Russian vanguard of El Lissitzky and Rodchenko. The criticism of “Black Round Table” is centered in Barcelona, which is shown as a city taken as object of consumption and the story of Gassama, a Senegalese immigrant who set up his workshop, which also functions as a home on Caputxes street in the Born neighborhood.
Gassama, beyond living in a society that has stunning urban buildings, continues to create his own structures, furniture and houses with his own hands, creating in this way, his own utopia.
Daniela Ortiz was born in Cuzco in 1985 and is only 25 years, little by little, she is finding her place in the world of art. She has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and held several exhibitions in her native Peru, Spain and the United States.
