As a culturally integrating and nomadic art collective domiciled temporarily in NYC, B2Art has all ways sought to be free of any spatial or geographic limitations that might impose the cultural esthetics of one city when it comes to creating and producing B2Art events. Many alternatives have been explored in communities of artists or associations with intercontinental spaces and the multicultural dynamics that are governed by the contemporary art scene.
The project is centered both in the creation and promotion of the visual arts and it has a special interest in the sculptural and pictorial imagery produced in the emerging and post emerging currents of contemporary artistic creation. This itinerant or nomadic gallery pretends to approximate current creative proposals to the public with a dynamic, innovative and demanding curatorial perspective and position. In the same way, B2Art supports collectors with personalized advice maintaining a relation of proximity with the lover’s of emerging and contemporary art.
When the aesthetic of the image traverses the tension between the contemporary and the perennial, it becomes the metaphysics of fiction. This journey fosters the transmutation of time and prevails in the endless number of clichés that dominate our exhibiting culture.
To experiment with the potential and limits of the imagination, to explore the artifice flaunted by the vanguard movements, or to dwell in ordinary stories of that which has not yet happened, becomes the different visualizations of a project that investigates the representation of what is constituted, bringing us closer to the new forms of expression that artists are using now a days. These creative and artistic exponents of mixed media and new technology construct in equidistant spaces the association of an artistic practice that coincides with the promotion and production of projects that are independent of a structured ideology and become self-sustainable and self-nourishing.
B2Art www.b2art.net emerges in NYC during a series of exhibitions that took place the years 2009 and 2011 in the “World Monument Fund Gallery” that were denominated as “express” in the sense that the creators and artists organized the curatorial aspect of the exhibition without depending on the philosophy of the physical space or gallery. The initiators of the project: Bartus Bartolomes and Belen Moreno Bosh, though today separated in different exhibiting initiatives, managed to join artists of different nationalities from Europe, North and South America, Asia etc. etc. with the purpose of creating a collaborative network that would allow an explosive activism that would counterbalance the vacuous exhibitions with an academic or market oriented attitude. This project today continues with Bartus Bartolomes at the helm based in Wynnewood, Florida and counts with the association of new artists and collaborators such as Ivan Castillo, Paola Puppio Zing , Domingo de Lucia and Ricardo Sánchez Cassidy
Thanks to this new collaboration between institutions, galleries, editors and creators, the strategic objective of B2Art has developed a profile structured on the perspective of self-sustainable projects, using our own resources on a proposal by proposal basis, promoting some artists in other regions of the international arts scenes such as fine arts events, Biennales and participating in other cultural spaces which in many cases are distant from the routines of traditional galleries. Among these contributions, placing artists from the B2Art group or independent from this association in exhibiting projects during the past seven years is the summary that appears on our web.
Equally, B2Art has editorial associations with the Italian group Campanotto Editore for the editions of art books, having published up until now 8 books of varying authors, while at the same time B2Art has agreements and is advising various cultural institutions including the preparation of the first Biennale of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Barbados and the Biennale of Water in the Republic of Panama.
In actuality, the proposal we seek is to materialize on an international level is centered in large installations that urgently want to symbolize and stimulate a heightened sensibility towards the fragility of the environment which is today irrationally subjected to a continuous alteration in detriment of life and therefore the balance among species and the biological chain or biodiversity. Among the different proposals are the projects we are attaching: “Dancing Trees”, “Bird’s Nest” and “Buoys”, “Art for Water”, “Art for Sport” so you could study and consider for your partitipation or support.
