Performance in vertical bar (pole dance) by Oxido (Saúl Sellés and Pascual del Vas Serrano). Saúl Sellés (Cocentaina, 1986) is interested in artistic reflection on competition and the tension generated by the practice of any sport. And he has turned that into art using various languages. Saúl Sellés is an interdisciplinary visual artist who lives and works in Alicante. A graduate in Fine Arts (UMH), he was awarded the Santander Formula Scholarship which allowed him to complement his studies in Mexico City by UNAM. Subsequently, he was awarded the Puenting III Scholarship with which he has carried out his most ambitious artistic project to date, The Fighter (2014: Mustang Art Gallery, Elche). He is one of the creators and curators of Residencias A Quemarropa. In this performance he will work with Pascual de Vas Serrano.
The city of Alicante will celebrate, for the first time, the White Night on July 24th, a proposal that stems from collaboration between Alicante's museums and art centers. The technicians from the city's museums have held various meetings and are already working on an attractive offer of activities for that date.The White Night is a cultural initiative that was created in Paris in 2002 and has been joined by other European capitals and major cities such as Rome, Bucharest, Riga, Amsterdam, and Brussels. The purpose is to enjoy contemporary artistic creation through different activities and free cultural events, thereby promoting citizen participation. Alicante proposes its first White Night with an attractive cultural offer that will be announced at a Press Conference in the coming days. The initiative is jointly organized by MARQ Archaeological Museum, MACA Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante, MUBAG Gravina Museum of Fine Arts, MUA Museum of the University of Alicante, Las Cigarreras, Volvo Ocean Race Museum, and Museum of Waters of Alicante, which will remain open until 1:00 a.m. on July 24th. The project aims to bring together all types of public and private cultural initiatives, promote the participation of Alicante residents, individually or collectively, and suggests rediscovering the city with the opening of different spaces that are not usually accessible to the public at night. In Spain, this initiative is already being developed in cities such as Madrid, Burgos, Málaga, Albacete, and Barcelona, with other cities such as La Laguna, Badajoz, Teguise, Alcalá de Henares, Zaragoza, Nerja, Seville, Almería, Cáceres, Oviedo, and Granada joining in.All information at https://www.facebook.com/nochenblancoalicante Participants: This is an invitation to join the first edition of The White Night, a cultural celebration that should bring together the participating public around art and artistic creation including all types of cultural expression: cinema, theater, exhibitions, shows, workshops, actions, performances, music, gastronomy, and anything else that can be programmed.
