comunicato stampa

KOSMOPOLIS
Borges and Buenos Aires

"Being cosmopolitan does not mean being indifferent to one country and sensitive to others. It means the generous ambition of being sensitive to all countries and all ages, the desire for eternity, the desire to have been many..."
Jorge Luís Borges

This 29 October, the CCCB presents COSMOPOLIS. Borges and Buenos Aires, the fourth exhibition in the cycle Cities and their Writers, which opened in 1995 with James Joyce's Dublin. Every two years, this cycle presents an exhibition about a writer who has established a critical and passionate relationship with his or her city, exploring all the nuances of the urban world with imagination and freedom.

The title of the exhibition takes as its departure point the cosmopolitan attitude which, with variations and nuances, breathes life into the evolution of the ethic and aesthetic of Jorge Luís Borges.

The exhibition Borges and Buenos Aires forms part of Kosmopolis 2002. International Festival of Literature which, starting this year, will also take place every other year at the CCCB. Both the exhibition and the festival have been conceived and directed by Juan Insúa.
______________

KOSMOPOLIS 2002. International Festival of Literature (11 to 15 December 2002)

Kosmopolis sets forward other ways of seeing and living the literary world, free of absolute foundations or disciplinary borders. And just as Borges was imbued with this cosmopolitan spirit, the CCCB aims in all its spaces and with different formats to create a universe that activates communicating vessels between the local and the universal.

For five days, the Kosmopolis Festival will bring together the different agents of literature, from writers to citizens via various types of artists and editors, occupying the main venues of the CCCB and using all the expressive resources available.

This ambitious, broad-based project takes its inspiration from a series of co-ordinates which contemplate the creation of new literary horizons in their broadest sense, in the form of major themes such as: Journeys, Experiments, Contaminations, Dialogues, etc., deployed in such varying formats as readings, debates, installations, workshops, recitals, interviews, monologues, concerts, lectures and films, with the participation of agents such as Ryszard Kapuscinski, Carlos Fuentes, Brian W. Aldiss, Rodney Hall, Pankaj Mishra, Alberto Manguel, Lydia Lunch, Taban lo Liyong, Colin Thubron, Rodrigo Rey Rosa, Roberto Bolaño, Julio Ortega, Pat Cadigan , Juan Villoro, Fernando Rendón, Rolando Sánchez-Mejías, Julio Jung, Javier Martínez Reverte, Robyn Davidson, Ursula Kiausch, Pablo Capanna, Pauline McLeod, Peter Cochrane, Morgan Yasbincek, Anita Heiss, Adib Khan, Krzysztof Czyzewsky, Ales Debeljak, Pawel Huelle, Bernardo Atxaga, Ignacio Vidal-Folch, Monika Zgustova, Magda Carneci, Kris Koelemans, Maria Barbal, Enric Bou, Claudio Guillén, Tomás Segovia, Nora Catelli, Réda Bensmaia, Nabile Fares, Hoda Barakat, Horacio Fumero, Albert Bover, Joaquín Sabina, Soul Divos, Sohn, Rafael Escalona, Iván Villazón, Nicolás Buenaventura, Silvia Medeiros.
