The BBVA Foundation will premiere six video artworks in the new academic year, starting with Carles Congost’s ‘The Wolf Motives’
On concluding his major in Painting at the Fine Arts School of the University of Barcelona, Carles Congost chose as his end-of-degree project not a painting or series, but a video. “The play of sound, text, music and moving image seemed a natural way to frame my aesthetic concerns,” he recalls, “closer to the look and feel of pop music, film, fashion and television than the history of art.” Thus began an enterprise that brought him two decades later to The Wolf Motives/Los motivos del lobo, the video the BBVA Foundation will present on September 8 in its MULTIVERSO Space, where it will be screened uninterruptedly every day between 10:00 and 21.00 until the 8th of next month.
