Missions and objectives |
ARTEFACTOS BASCOS is a multidisciplinary platform founded by artist, performer, art historian and graphic designer Ieltxu Ortueta. It develops scenic, graphic and performance projects, with a focus on young audiences. Artefactos Bascos thinks of the child as a partner in play and co-creator in interactive works, which move between visual arts, performance art and non-conventional performative spaces. We believe in the unique character of each child and in collective play constructions, as a device for encounter, discovery and artistic creation. Every child is an artist! Artefactos Bascos is member of VINCULAR (Latinoamerican Network of Creators for the Chilhood) and SMALL SIZE Network. |
Main Activities |
With the interactive performances FLOU! and C A M P O performed in Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Spain, Norway, South Africa, Germany and Palestina. In 2020, in the current pandemic, starts developing B A T U premiere in Mexico (june 2021) and PLAYGROUNDS Por Todo Lado! PLAYGROUNDS Everywhere, a co-creation partnered with Dutch theatermaker Erwin Maas, researching how to communicate virtually (and in hybrid forms) an encouragement for somatic play and imagination away from the screen. He created E U P! (Unique & Powerful Encounters), art residency, which invites artists to reflect and create together focused on early childhood. |
