Gifted, 2009
Will Carey
Gifted is a participatory project inspired by children's imaginations, in which children are the protagonists. The prototypes materialise an imaginary future where ability is considered before birth and influenced via training and parental supervision throughout the child's development.
Would it be morally acceptable to alter or influence our children if we knew they could absorb higher levels of oxygen, increasing levels of concentration, focus, calmness and improved health? The project raises questions about how children themselves might use their own fantasies and dreams to imagine an alternative genetic future. One could ask whether it is adults or children who are really in control of the technology?

Coat, 1920-30
Probably by Emilie Flöge
Extraordinary sleeves, one longer than the other, are a feature of this remarkable kimono-style coat. The garment, constructed from strips of black and white cotton satin, is believed to have been designed by Emilie Flöge. She was part of the Viennese avant-garde and a life-long friend of artist Gustav Klimt, who collected Japanese art. In 1904 Flöge opened a fashion house, Schwestern Flöge, with her sisters Helene and Pauline.

Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk
(February to October 2020)
This exhibition will present the kimono as a dynamic and constantly evolving icon of fashion, revealing the sartorial, aesthetic and social significance of the garment from the 1660s to the present day, both in Japan and the rest of the world.
The ultimate symbol of Japan, the kimono is often perceived as traditional, timeless and unchanging. Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk, the UK's first major exhibition on kimono, counters this conception, presenting the garment as a dynamic and constantly evolving icon of fashion.

Mirrors and Masks (2013–15)
A number of works in Kader Attia's solo exhibition The Museum of Emotion explore the still under-acknowledged influence of African art on the trajectory of Western art history.
Attia made the first mask in his series Mirrors and Masks in 2009, after visiting the exhibition Picasso and the Masters at the Grand Palais, in Paris. Although the exhibition included works by Western artists known to have influenced Picasso, Attia was shocked to find that it did not include any African masks, another well-known influence on the artist.
The work he made as a response – a wooden mask covered with shards of broken mirror – reflects the viewer back in fragments, or in Attia's words, ‘shows everybody who looks at it a Cubist portrait of themselves.’

Kader Attia: The Museum of Emotion
(February-May 2019)
Kader Attia’s first UK survey exhibition traces several strands of the artist’s work from the past two decades.
Defining himself as an activist as well as an artist, Attia has over the past twenty years set out to create artworks that engage our capacity for thinking as well as feeling, and provoke what he calls a ‘real, fundamental dialogue’ about the world in which we live.
In sculptures, installations, collages, videos and photographs that move ‘back and forth between politics and poetry’, Attia inventively explores the ways in which colonialism continues to shape how Western societies represent and engage with non-Western cultures, and offers a passionate critique of modern Western systems of control that define everything from traditional museology to the design of modernist social housing.
A key group of works in The Museum of Emotion engage with the idea of repair as both a physical and symbolic act. These include objects ‘repaired’ by the artist using techniques and materials employed in certain non-Western cultures, as well as videos and large-scale installations that explore the way in which repair relates to psychological as well as physical injury, and to collective as well as individual trauma.
In The Museum of Emotion, Attia transforms detailed research into compelling works of art, and at the same time probes the ways in which the museum itself might be transformed into a forum for emotional response, capable of eliciting, exploring and even harnessing strongly held feelings of anger, sorrow, joy and grief.

El sábado pasado concluía la última sesión del seminario “Líderes Influencers”, en esta ocasión el título fue: "LO IMPORTANTE ES LEVANTARSE: FORTALEZA". Comenzaban a las 16.30h tomando un café, a continuación tuvieron varias dinámicas de grupo con Pascual Hernández, socio director de Explora, aplicando la importancia de la fortaleza que radica no en caerse, sino levantarse siempre, llegar a los objetivos sorteando los obstáculos y descubriendo las debilidades que impiden alcanzar las metas, la importancia del trabajo en equipo, soluciones más efectivas etc. Más tarde Diana y Mar Quesada, influencers decoradoras de interiores de Tres Studio (@tres_studio), les contaron su experiencia profesional, cómo comenzaron con las redes sociales, primero con un blog y Facebook, más tarde con Instagram, cómo las distintas situaciones de su vida afectaron este ámbito, hablaron de responsabilidad social, de transmitir valores y nos quedamos con la frase “..nosotras llevamos las redes, las redes no nos llevan a nosotras…” más tarde intervino Juan Martínez Otero, autor del libro "Tsunami digital, hijos surferos" les habló cómo internet ha modificado los hábitos de la sociedad, pero en todos lo casos y situaciones que expuso daba enfoques muy positivos y consejos para enfrentarlas, y para que las redes e Internet no dominen su vida. Tras un descanso y después de la Misa vespertina, tuvieron tertulia con Mario Gil, influencer cómico (@mariuslekker), les contó cómo su hermano le animaba, ya que a él le gustaba crear humor, pero no quería desvelar su vida privada, luego se dio cuenta que era una forma de transmitir valores y hacer humor sano y crear contenidos que fuesen dignos de seguir y sin comprometer su información personal. Tuvieron tiempo de hacerles a todos muchas preguntas e intercambiar experiencias.
Damos las gracias a la coordinadora y artífice de este seminario, Zoimer Quintero que se ha dejado la piel con y por los jóvenes, y a muchas personas que han contribuido a las satisfacción de todos los asistentes como María, Ana…etc.
Sobre todo estamos muy agradecidos con otros influencers que desde muy lejos durante los meses que ha durado el seminario, han estado enviando videos, especialmente nuestra gratitud a mons. Munilla, Obispo de San Sebastián que desde el primer momento nos apoyó en esta iniciativa.
