Ignacio Alc\u00e1ntara will show a series of short films made as a study for a larger work. The artist describes how the \u201capocalyptic vision of our so-called modern society moves me every day to question the media and more specifically the portable mechanisms we so value to communicate.\u201d <\/P>

Alc\u00e1ntara uses a series of videos made from his own drawings and illustrations to make statements against the emptiness and submission that we have all been relegated to through our modern communication equipment, which he calls toys. <\/P>

The second showing by Pi\u00f3n, emphasizes \u2013 in his own words and through a series of seemingly endless animations \u2013 the continuity of the \u201cthe earth\u2019s rotation.\u201d \u201cHe relates issues like pollution and the overuse of resources to society\u2019s attitude toward the black community which often places the artist in hostile territory where will and persistence are not always in agreement; these are some of the points narrated in Rodante.\u201d <\/P>

The CCE\u2019s Espacio Cero is an area reserved for young artists to present innovative projects within the theme proposed by the Spanish Cultural Center. <\/P>
