Ventana Collective was born in 2016 with the intention of founding a platform for discussion to create positive changes in conscience regarding global subjects through multidisciplinary contemporary art.
The project is composed of an installation called Trash Banquet, which recreates with revalued local daily disposals (upcycled trash), a performance and a debate, the Last Supper, which originated from the apocalyptic question that the artists formulated at the moment of creating the banquet: will we be in our last supper, is this the century when we will completely waste our planet? In this opportunity, the debate will be focused on the "global warming" issue and we have invited 12 politicians, artists and local community leaders that, with the guidance of the moderator artist will have the chance to express their point of view about it during a dissertation that lasts up to 30 minutes and concludes with a cockcrow symbolized by recycled instruments played by a local orchestra.
BIENALSUR is one of the main stops of the intercontinental tour of this project. At each stop, local communities commit to recreate the artwork with local and imported waste, dealing with the challenges that each city must undergo in order to resolve the logistic issues of this proposal.
In Buenos Aires, the visual materials of the Trash Banquet allude to the ghost nets that float in the seas of the world, causing major damage, and also reflecting the History of the River Plate.
Performance: September 14th and 16th, 2017
