La televisión es cultura

El lunes Ángel Calvo recordaba el mítico “Rock my religion” de Dan Graham en un espacio autogestionado de Oporto, Uma certa falta de Coerência. Si alguien aún no ha visto el vídeo o simplemente quiere pasar una hora de domingo revistándolo, aquí lo encontrará. No hay que esperar a que sea programado. Este es el significado de la televisión a la carta que implica internet como un posible espacio para la circulación del conocimiento. Y que permite, en esta semana en la que se ha discutido tanto sobre la televisión pública y muy poco sobre modelos de televisión, recuperar algún momento en el que televisión y cultura no estaban reñidos. Arsenal es uno de esos programas míticos que permitía repensar la imagen -antes de que las entidades de gestión sobre derechos de imagen luchasen contra la cita, el collage y el corta y pega, verdaderas estrategias del pensamiento contemporáneo- y elaborar auténticas piezas que sin pudor podemos colocar en la estela de “Rock my religion”. Últimamente, Manuel Huerga ha ido recopilando en su web los diversos programas. Hablando de collage, corta y pega, cita y pensamiento contemporáneo, rescatamos el titulado “La terra de las 100 dances”.

Por cierto, Bibiana Ballbè, no sabemos si es entretenido, pero seguro que es cultura y televisión.

A*DESK is a critical platform focused on publishing, training, experimentation, communication and dissemination in relation to contemporary culture and art, which is defined by transversality. The starting point is contemporary art, because that is where we come from and this awareness allows us to go much further, to incorporate other disciplines and forms of thought in order debate issues that are relevant and urgent for understanding our present.
