Garmendia, Iñaki
1972 Ordizia, lives in Bilbao
(Basque Country, Spain).

venue: casa Ciriza

Iñaki Garmendia abstracts from the nihilism inherent to the subculture of punk to produce a two channel video projection entitledAsanblada (2004). Footage, shot from the backstage of a Terrorgruppe concert on the eve of Mayday at the SO36 club in Kreuzberg (Berlin), is projected next to a more scripted depiction of anarchy directed by the artist. This juxtaposition defends the value of irreconcilability over consensus in the dormant and regulated space of political bureaucracy. The perpetual lack of final synthesis in both videos evoke the perennial attempt to organize freedom and subvert order.
