sal
is a group of Spanish artists living and working in London.
We welcome members from a wide range of disciplines, which at present include: ceramics, glass, painting, photography, performance, poetry, video and multimedia installations.
sal
was created for the purpose of
presenting our creative activity and our proposals to
audiences in London, both to Spaniards living in Britain for whom our activities could work as a bridge between two cultures
and to people of other nationalities interested in the artistic output of our group.
We present our activities and our proposals as a way of
cultural consumption of the "contemporary", concerned with an analysis of the moment we are living.
Goals:
- to raise an interest in Spanish Culture in other collectives
and cultural contexts
- to reflect on our "identity conflicts" as Spaniards
living in a different country and on the influence of this condition in our work
- to introduce and promote the work of this group of creators, increasing
the visibility and dissemination of their artistic output and projects
- to analyse the artistic and cultural reality of the milieu in which we live and work.
- to exchange and promote experiences with other contemporary art groups and foster
these cultural and artistic exchanges in Britain, in Europe and internationally
- to set a network of professional, artistic, cultural, commercial
and institutional contacts to help develop the feasibility of our project with the support of Spanish institutions in London,
as well as private companies or individuals wanting to collaborate with our proposal
- to work as a link for other Spanish artists arriving in London; be a point of
reference for institutions or individuals interested in artistic an cultural activities in London
