Artfutura 2008: Gamely Pixels

Yep, the videogames section of any store is destined to keep growing. This sector's health is guaranteed, even in Spain, if the winners of ArtFutura are to be taken as reference. Most of the prizes stayed local.

To surpass the Japanese or the Americans does not mean we should rest in our laurels.  To play, yes.  To enjoy virtual imagery and animation, yes as well. But not to lose our brains while doing it. There's a whole world out there.

  • Over The Moon

    No longer distracted by the sticky, sweet-talking Queen of Pop, let's turn our attention back to the King, and pay homage one last time. Mindless and too late? Hey, the dude's without a brain and remains unburied, so that would almost be appropriate.

  • Loud and Proud

    It was never going to please everybody -  “too activist”, “too commercial”, “too frivolous”, it was mumbled - but, in our humble opinion, the inaugural Pride Barcelona did well, even without the crisis-stricken Matinée Group.

  • Recreative

    Lots of impressive creative talent, some in finding constructive feedback to, ehem, less impressive work, but mostly on show in the portfolio of young hopefuls.

  • Shutter Bugged

    The masterminds behind PHotoEspaña and the annual cult mag Matador, marked their 15th anniversary by opening a Barcelona branch, complete with gallery, bookshop, café and an event space.

  • Hoss Call

    As catalogues go, Daniel Riera’s work with Tamsin Egerton for Hoss Intropia was real fine. But his exhibition in Hoss’ private showroom shows why he’s one of our favourite photographers these days.
