The aim of Material Voices. Feminist genealogies of the work of making exhibitions <\/i>is to research women\u2019s curatorial practices from the sixties until today. We use dialogue as a tool for research and explore the material potential of and interactions between voices, exhibitions and works of art.<\/p>\n

PALOMA CHAMORRO, PHILOSOPHER OF ACTION
\n<\/b>Paloma Chamorro (1949-2017) worked for Spanish national television (TVE) in the nineteen-seventies and eighties. Those were the years of the end of the dictatorship and what was known as the Transition to Democracy, and Chamorro conceived and directed programmes on art and culture. She was led by passion and curiosity at a time when, as she put it, \u201ca woman could not become a judge\u201d, in an atmosphere of enthusiasm and a medium (known at the time as el ente <\/i>(the Body) directly inherited from the Franco era. With exquisite care and attention, Chamorro, who had studied philosophy but saw herself as a \u201cphilosopher of action\u201d, directed Trazos. Revista de arte<\/i>, Im\u00e1genes<\/i>, La edad de oro<\/i>, La estaci\u00f3n de Perpignan<\/i> and La realidad inventada<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Chamorro used her programmes to add to public awareness of contemporary art and culture on national television using the artists\u2019 works and their own words. This was after Franco\u2019s forty-year long rule and censorship under his regime. Chamorro was a brilliant, spellbinding interviewer. She talked to the exiled painter Maruja Mallo (1902-1995) and other artists of that period including Salvador Dal\u00ed (1904-1989), Joan Mir\u00f3 (1893-1983) and Jorge Oteiza (1908-2003). She also interviewed artists from other contexts, such as John Cale (1942), Derek Jarman (1942-1994), Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989) and Oca\u00f1a (1947-1983), as well as bands like Los Chunguitos, Gun Club, The Residents and The Smiths.<\/p>\n

La edad de oro <\/i>(1983-1985) was a reference for generations of young TV viewers, and the programme which finally made Chamorro an icon of what was known as La Movida Madrile\u00f1a. <\/i>Even the title of the programme, which paid homage to Luis Bu\u00f1uel\u2019s (1900-1983) L\u2019\u00e2ge d\u2019or<\/i> (1930), revealed an awareness of its exceptional character. While it also included other artistic media, it mostly showcased live music. Room was given to all so-called \u201cmarginal\u201d practices, at a time when subcultural theory was still confined to Anglo-Saxon academic circles.<\/p>\n

The very first broadcast of La edad de oro <\/i>opened with Paloma Chamorro, her hair teased up and a broad smile on her face, inviting the audience to \u201cexperiment with TV as a new form of expression\u201d. Her striving to imagine state TV as an experimental space was to bring her into constant trouble. In 1984 she was sued for blasphemy after broadcasting a video by the group Psychic TV, produced by La edad de oro <\/i>and directed by Derek Jarman. Chamorro was absolved in 1990 and the verdict was confirmed in 1993, but she never went back to work.<\/p>\n

This Material Voices <\/i>encounter with Xabier Arakistain, Daniel Llar\u00eda and Azucena Vieites is dedicated to an honest, lucid, shining figure who worked to make television \u201cbroaden the limits of freedom of expression\u201d.<\/p>\n

Xabier Arakistain<\/b> (Madrid, 1966) is an art curator who has been including the category of sex as a curatorial criterion ever since his first exhibition, Trans Sexual Express. <\/i>He has curated retrospectives dedicated to key artists of Feminist Art such as Margaret Harrison, Judy Chicago or Guerrilla Girls and also group exhibitions such as The Furious Gaze<\/i>, Kick in the Eye<\/i>, Eight Feminist Strategies to Interrupt the Male Gaze<\/i> or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, 86 Steps in 45 Years of Art and Feminism<\/i>. In 2008, concerned about the barriers to transmitting feminist knowledge, he jointly launched with the anthropologist Lourdes M\u00e9ndez the annual interdisciplinary, international and intergenerational course Feminist Perspectives in Artistic Productions and Theories of Art<\/i>. Between 2007 and 2011, he directed the Montehermoso Cultural Centre with a pioneering project in developing and implementing gender equality policies in the fields of contemporary art, knowledge and culture.<\/p>\n

Daniel Llar\u00eda<\/b> (Logro\u00f1o, 1985) is an artist, who studied for a Degree in Fine Art with the Universidad del Pa\u00eds Vasco and then a Masters at Parsons\u2013The New School for Design on a Fulbright Scholarship.
