The artist Enrique Muñoz García presents a part of his extensive work entitled Petroleum. Within it, there is a series of 7 photographs that show the situation of "Blowout of an oil well". These photos are originals, dated between 1900 and 1940, found and compiled by the artist.

Within this work there is also a series of 20 certificates related to the buying and selling of oil in America as well as a series of photographs of gas stations taken by the artist at night in different countries, such as Georgia, France, Germany, Chile, Tunisia, Switzerland, among others, and a photograph of a gas station in Venice.

In addition, there are 2 photos taken by the artist of the Canale di Petroli in Venice in 2023, a place where oil is processed.

NOMADIC PARTY
Nine Dragon Heads


Nomadic Party is an Interdisciplinary site-specific and context-related Environmental Art project originated and organised by the international art-group Nine Dragon Heads.

The project Nomadic Party is the motivating stimulus for an alternative vision and the experimental mode of artistic activity embodied by Nine Dragon Heads. “Nomadic Party” in Venice reiterates a recurring structural specificity of Nine Dragon Heads – a form of open air practice that engages the Venetian Lagoon, accompanied by an exhibition of working traces and documentation, artefacts and performances in Spazio Punch on the island of Giudecca. The exhibition will be dedicated to the creative possibilities that connect human and nature, art and environment.

Conceptually the exhibition Nomadic party is elaborated in on-going laboratory mode, where individual artworks bear post-studio, experimental, or situational and performative character. The experience and materials gathered through numerous symposia and activities of Nine Dragon Heads (which also include workshops, theoretical panel discussions, and conferences) both directly and indirectly, form the content of Nomadic Party. Participating artists do not aim to place full stops or answer all the questions, rather they look for the creation of a space where experimental open air and public art-practice results in an ethical artistic message.
