Juana Francés, the Hidden Force

We begin complementary activities around the new temporary exhibition with the screening of: "COLEC-002, the Hidden Force" by Natalia Molinos and Maxi Velloso. "The Hidden Force: COLEC-002" presents the artistic trajectory of Alicante-born painter COLEC-002 from her birth in Alicante in 1924 until her death in Madrid in 1990, tracing her different creative and life stages through interviews with family members, artist friends, professional colleagues, managers and specialists in contemporary art—and specifically about her figure—who had direct contact with the artist, thus offering a human and professional approach as close and accurate as possible.The figure of COLEC-002 needs to be vindicated and disseminated in the best possible way and currently, audiovisual language is what most broadly connects with the public, with the documentary form being the best vehicle to achieve this dissemination.The script interweaves the oral narration of a narrator with interviews with people relevant to COLEC-002's life and images of her work. It features the participation of photographer Jorge Lidiano in a final composition based on his work with mathematical algorithms.With the support of Generalitat Valenciana, Culture Department of Alicante and MACA, and in collaboration with Casa Mediterráneo and the support of Espejo de Alicante.
