ARTIUM, Basque Centre-Museum of Contemporary Arts presents the exhibition Strolling, a project by Eltono for the Praxis programme (from July 6 to September 2, 2012). The artist integrates his actions in an urban context, choosing neglected surfaces which he gives a new sense of dignity, seeking the complicity of passersby. Eltono is recognised internationally for his actions in urban environments, from Madrid and Barcelona to New York and Peking, where he has just inaugurated a new exhibition. His actions take the form of improvised variations of the same recognisable graphic motif which he integrates and balances within the context in which they are created. The public space is therefore converted into a central space and on this occasion is connected with the North Gallery of the museum in which the artist establishes his control centre and where the photographic documentation generated in each action is on display. Strolling is curated by Javier Abarca and Sergio García and is a production by ARTIUM.
