Biblioteca Los Mangos, Puerto Vallarta's Public Library, will open its doors to the second edition of "Emergente" on Saturday, March 15, beginning at 7:30 pm.
This is a unique opportunity to appreciate the work of a new generation of artists from different academic backgrounds or creative practices,who are rising to the cultural scene of our city.
"Emergente" was born in 2013. It is a project coordinated by Gabriela Munguía, artist, and Adriana García, Los Mangos Library's director. In its first edition, the response was extraordinary and confirmed the need to generate spaces to meet, connect, and exchange ideas for a mutual enrichment. In "Emergente," all of the library's buildings, patio, walls and green areas, intervene artistically. The creators express themselves through paintings, sculptures, photography, prints, short films, mapping and digital art.
"Emergente" is a global art show of this generation's highly connected creators who have started to participate in international exchanges and contests with excellent results. Among those, Víctor Orozco stands out, an artist from Jalisco who has won, among others, the prize to the best short-film in the Slam ZeiseKinos of Hamburg in 2013 and the prize First Steps in Germany in 2013. In this edition, "La Raya" Graphic Arts Workshop and "Megáfono" editorial also participate. Music wise, Antonio de los Ríos will musicalize poems from the local writer RaúlGibrán, Phonofilia, AgaveZzounds and Diego Cont.
This year, "Centro Universitario de la Costa" (CUC, local university) will participate by promoting the invitation to the students in the Visual Arts, Graphic Communication and Multimedia degrees.
Entrance is FREE for "Emergente." If you are interested in a piece, the majority of the exhibited art will be for sale.
