:: What is Punto y Raya Junior? JUNIOR is the first abstract art festival in the world made by kids, and took place on November 10th & 11th 2012 at the CCCB (Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona) with free admission. This extension of the Punto y Raya Festival follows the same spirit and features the same activities as the “senior” editions. The only difference is that JUNIOR is made BY kids and appeals to family audiences! Three categories according to the ages: · MINI | 6 and 7 years · MEDIUM | 8 to 10 years · MAXI | 11 to 12 years The main goal is to boost the creativity and abstraction capability in our younger audience, focusing on the many artistic and communicational possibilities of these two basic elements. It seeks to explore abstraction and all it has to offer for creation and interpretation through art, science and various playful activities. It also promotes the values posed by Resource Economics through the Sustainable! Program. The deadline for the JUNIOR photography and short film calls for entries was September 30th, 2012 where we have received about 50 films (from Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Greece, Spain, United States, Russia and Ukraine), and 460 photographs (adding countries like Brazil, Canada, France, Mexico, Peru, Switzerland and Turkey). Until late October, and thanks to the collaboration of various instituions in Spain, were creating the PyRformances and designing the graphic communication and the set decoration. These workshops include video & animation, photography, fine arts, music, sound visualization and dance. And during the event at the CCCB, have created new contents, learned cool stuff in a collective and interdisciplinary manner, and discovered how the dots and the lines lie at the core of everything we do in our everyday lives. The activities were structured in:
Films submitted to the international call for entries; three special sections curated by MAD, and a guest section curated by Arxiu Xcèntric.
Educational and playful activities, where professionals we introduced us to the dots & lines they employ everyday in their respective practices (fine arts, cinema and animation, live cinema, dance, biology, mathematics...) With this new knowledge, have created collective works.
Live performances created by the participants in the Workshops: audiovisual concerts, dance, optical experimentation, theater...
Dot & line explorations from various approaches: recycled technologies, architecture & design, photography, interactivity...
Punto y Raya Festival explores the creative possibilities of the dot and the line in various spheres of science, art and thought. No representation, only dots and lines as ends in themselves! Under the motto Back to Basics, it studies the essence of form and movement. The proposal is as simple as universal, and in only two years it became broadly recognized by the audiovisual community and the critic; the Japanese press called it “the most abstract festival in the world”, and it’s currently consolidated as a creation, promotion and exchange platform comprising over 35 cities around the globe. It has three installments under its belt: · La Casa Encendida (Madrid 2007) | www.puntoyrayafestival.com/mlce07_eng.php · Arts Santa Mònica (Barcelona 2009) | www.puntoyrayafestival.com/masm09_eng.php · Museo Reina Sofía (Madrid 2011) | www.puntoyrayafestival.com/mmrs11_eng.php Including the competition and retrospective sections, installations, conferences, workshops and PyRformances (live AV sessions), there are over 2.000 professionals from 32 countries involved in the project.
