Diego del Pozo: Casting 1971

The exhibition "Casting 1971" arrives at the Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos, CAB, after being selected to take part in the first edition of the project P4, Platform for Art Support in Castile and Leon, an initiative aiming at stimulating art creation within the parameters of current art in all its disciplines: painting, sculpture, etching, drawing, photography, video, graphic, installation, videoart, electronic art as well as any other current tendency. Three other art centers in the region participate together with the CAB are P4, Artium 2002 (DA2) in Salamanca, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León (MUSAC) in León and the Patio herreriano-Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Español in Valladolid who will be holding other artistic proposals appointed by the Selecting Committee of the platform.

Multidisciplinary artist (drawing, video, objects installation…) and cultural producer, Diego del Pozo Barriuso (Valladolid, 1974) is the author of a work trying to establish connections between the satisfaction of individual major desires and the identity building processes, conditioned by the different mechanisms of social control. In short, the artist deepens in humans' need for affection and our fight to resolve our yearnings within the context of a working and mass producing system, or as Del Pozo explains, in "too big distance between what people are and what they would like to be".
