Nueva Ola o Desencert (Short Version), 2004, 9 min 10 s, colour, sound

According to Joan Morey, the pillars on which this work is raised are the adoption of New Wave aesthetics and sound —specifically the sinister side of the movement and more exactly the band Bauhaus— and appropriation of the soundtrack and certain narrative styles from Jean-Luc Godard’s film Nouvelle Vague. The video is presented as a reflection on the hypertext mechanisms used in the two movements. Morey works as though he were a cultural engineer, a cryptic revisionist who takes some of the heritage of the two movements and makes it a complex scenario filled with meanings which are not always decipherable at first sight. The references to the recent past that both movements represent are not made from the asepsis of cultural history, as all the visual echoes, sounds, fragments of meaning or imagery the artist recovers are subjected to the strict code of ethics so characteristic of his work. Fetishistic clothing, acts of submission, emotions suppressed by asepsis, contained violence... all help establish connecting points between cultural manifestations which would otherwise seem irreconcilable.
Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
In a bid to review the International System of Units (SI), the International Bureau of Weights and Measures gathered at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures on November 16, 2018. Sixty member states have voted for changing four out of seven basic units of measurement. The kilogram is among the modified. Before describing the key points, let us have a closer look into the kilogram and its history.
