artista eta gaztea
(Scroll down for English version)
Euskal Irrati Telebistak (EITB) eta Euskal Herriko Unibertsitateak (EHU) gazte sortzaileei zuzendutako lehiaketa deialdi bat luzatu zuten 2006an. Ikusentzunezko sormena lehiaketa honen saria EITB Kultura saioan irabazlearen lana erakustea zen. Komunikabide batek inolako ordainketarik gabe ez dagokion ikusentzunezko materiala erakusteak ez digu batere harritzen, egunero ikusten bait da, nahiz eta komunikabide hau publikoa izan. EHUren jarrera ordea, salagarriagoa da. Zer sortu nahi du EHUk Leioako Campuseko Arte Eder Fakultatean dituen gazteekin? Artistak? Sortzaileak? Zer sustapen mota bultzatzen du hau lortzeko? Artista gaztearen lana telebista kate batean erakustea publizitatearen artean agertzen diren saioetan. Artista edo sortzailea izatea musutruk lan egitearen sinonimoa al da?
Nork irabazten du benetan harreman honetan? EHUk prestigioaren aldetik, eurek ekoiztutako artista gazteak promozionatzen dituela ikustarazten, eta EITBk, EITB Kultura saioren edukina inolako ordainketa ekonomikorik gabe lodituaz. Diruaz hitzegitea ez omen da dotore geratzen, artistek baina, ezagun eta konsagratuek zein gazteek ere, elikatu beharrean gaude. Inork ez du musutruk lanik egiten, baina istituzioetatik artista gazteak debalde lan egin behar dugunaren irudia zabaltzen da, eta ez bakarrik irudia, praktikan ere horrela da eta.
Bideo sorta honen bitartez arestian aipatutako guztiaren kritika egin nahi izan dut. Ez da bideo hauetan euskal artista gazterik agertzen (edo agian bai), baizik eta Tokio hiriko kaleetan darabilten etxerik gabeko jendea. Eusko Jaurlaritzatik, EHU eta EITBtik eskeini zuten lehiaketan ez zelako ez artea, ez artistak, ez artista gazteak, ez eta euskal artea sustatzen, baizik eta erakunde hauen aurpegi garbiketa eta bide batez telebistan agertzea sari nahiko denaren argudioa. Izen euskaldunak, EHko leku eta egoerak azaltzen dira, Japoniako aurpeki, leku eta egoerak agertzen diren bitartean.
Guggenheim izena eraman behar al dugu? Dirudienez geure politikariek hola uste dute: Bilboko alkate jaunaren hitzetan etorkizuneko Zorrotzaurre irlan Pompidu, Prado... sukurtsal bat altxatu nahi dute. Eskerrik asko Azkuna jauna eta gainontzeko instituzioei euskal artista eta artearengan erakusten duten konfidantza eta begirune ezagatik. Eta telebistan minutu erdiko tarteagatik ere, esker aunitz.

young and artist
Basque Public Radio Television (EITB) and the University of Basque Country (EHU) launched a contest back in 2006 aimed at young creators. The prize fort his audiovisual competition was that the work of the winning artist would be broadcast on EITBKultura, a contemporary arts TV program. It's no surprise a mass media showing audiovisual material they don't own and making no payment for it, we can see it everyday, even, as it ist he case, this media is a public one. EHU's position though is more criticizeable. What does this university want to make of the young people studying at its Fine Arts Faculty in Leioa? Artists? Creators? What kind of promoting means do they undertake to achieve it? A free exhibit of a young artit's work on TV, with ist advertisements, of course. Is it that being a young artist means you are to work for free?
Who is winning in this relationship? EHU in prestige, showing they really are promoting their otherwise useless products (read ex-students), and EITB inflating its EITBKultura program contents with no economic payment to the authors at all. It be no elegant to talk about money but artists, well established ones as well as young ones, do need to eat. Nobody works for free, but the notion that young artists have to do so is being spread from institutions such as these and others. It is not only a notion but a reality
With this video series I want to critisize all the above explaines. There's no Basque young artist on them (or maybe there is), but homeless people from Tokyo. Because there was no promotion of Basque art or young artists in the competition launched by the Basque Government, EHU and EITB, but an image cleaning of these. And by the way spreading the message that being on telly is enough prize for a young artist. There are Basque names of people, places and situations, but showing Japanese faces, places and situations.
Does Guggenheim need to be our name? It seems like our politicians think so: Bilbao's mayor has announced the construction of a maybe Pompidu, maybe Prado branch on Zorrotzaurre island. Thank you Mr Azkuna and institutions alike fort he lack of respect and confidence towards local artists and art. Oh, and thanks a lot for those 30 seconds on your television!
