Once again this year, the BilbaoArte Fundazioa Foundation is participating in Noche Blanca-Gau zuria with an installation by artist Beatriz Sánchez titled “LOW-Escena.”
It will be on view at URIBITARTE40 on June 19 and 20.
The artist will arrange a series of mobile installations and small sculptures powered by motors that set everyday objects, ceramics, and found fragments in motion. The installation combines makeshift mechanical systems, projections, and light effects, transforming the space into a kind of mobile stage set inspired by optical illusions and toy fairs. Somewhere between the domestic and the ghostly, small ruins come to life as automatons.
Born in Córdoba, Beatriz Sánchez is a visual artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the UPV and a Master’s in Digital Arts from Pompeu Fabra University.
Her work combines drawing, collage, assemblage, and various video formats, exploring visual forms infused with experimentation, humor, and artifice. Influenced as much by the mechanisms of pre-cinema—phantasmagoria, optical tricks, and vision machines—as by the contemporary circulation of digital images, her projects translate dynamics characteristic of the GIF, the loop, the meme, or the “poor image” into physical, performative, and audiovisual contexts.
She currently resides in Bilbao, where she combines the production of her artistic work with the creation of music videos and live audiovisual performances. She also conducts workshops on video creation and audiovisual experimentation at festivals, universities, and art centers.
