Province reported on the status of culture in Burgos

Tangent Space Assembly, adding to the many artists, groups, associations and individuals in the cultural and social world, supports the statement on the state of culture in Burgos. In addition, we encourage you to achieve your maximum dissemination.

STATEMENT ON THE STATUS OF CULTURE IN BURGOS

In recent years we have observed that in the name of culture is establishing a real speculative process. This arbitrary use of public money not only affects the cultural field but to all citizens.
witnessing a proliferation of foundations, contemporary art centers, cultural centers run by private companies, festivals and other events for which funding and justification is completely opaque and does not count with the participation of those directly involved. In this context
of cultural exuberance is the other side of the "currency", where you can find artists, associations and groups in an extremely precarious situation, often due to lack of institutional support for culture is not considered as consumption or propaganda .
In the case of Burgos, perfectly extrapolated to the rest of the community of Castilla and León, this situation is reaching alarming levels. In the framework of a European candidate to the culture capital in 2016 (which was also chosen, among others, Segovia) numerous associations, groups and artists are affected by delays in entering the agreements or the resolution of aid projects they are expected to develop during the year. Given that we are in October, the situation is hardly sustainable, being impossible to carry out the planned activities.
understand that this attitude of contempt for the institutions, to what we might call the basic culture and not mere entertainment, it is within the scandalous if we look around and watch the weather as "buoyant" institutional culture.
is earmarked for large lots of money to hire consultings to study the strategies of a European cultural capital that seems too complicated, or pay in advance shows that they spend a couple hours in the budget that some groups receive in a year or more, or in the case of Castilla y León, creates a Century Foundation which spends hundreds of millions of euros to the culture if no political control, among many other examples.
To avoid all these violations would require a greater management control by institutions of public money, with real mechanisms for citizen participation and advice from those cultural agents who have long demonstrated their capacity to manage. We call
revive and enhance the proposals and initiatives on social consensus, such as the Cultural Advisory Council, to encourage participation with the right to review of decision Commissions for Culture of local actors more competent and involved, taking up and the voice of organizations, associations, social groups and the general public that is active in cultural and social life of our city.
support the local culture would go through a regulation of contractual relationships between artists and groups with the institutions, which set deadlines for grant aid, the signing of the agreements, the payment of contracts, etc. and does not adhere exclusively to how to justify the cost be in the administration, all currently regulated by law. We urge
Finally, and call the social and cultural forces so that we coordinate a joint effort in this direction and develop a creative, fresh, open and claiming that motivate, encourage and create the illusion of a city and an environment where we recover our voices.

Open Assembly on the status of culture in Burgos


tangent space. Thursday 25 September. 20:15

All groups, associations and individuals involved in the world of culture:

I call for a Urgent Open Assembly on the status of culture in this land, taking as a starting point the following statement, later agree on a set and present it publicly. TANGENT SPACE

communique

Tangent Space has continued its activities in 2008, despite the precarious situation we are facing, probably the most serious since that is open to the public in 2001.
We are now in September and we have not yet signed the agreement this year with the Municipal Institute of Culture of the Municipality of Burgos, have not been approved grants for cultural projects of artistic, theatrical, etc. .. convened in February and a few months after the end of the year is unlikely to be resolved.
This situation is not unique tangent space as the other associations, groups, artists, professionals, individuals who have submitted projects to the different administrations, especially the City, are waiting to get the crumbs that often subsidize Burgos culture. This situation is not foreign to the NGOs and social collective. Meanwhile
City Council insists the European Cultural Capital 2016 and Burgos mouth were filled with the hackneyed and utterly devalued Citizen Participation. You do not hurt apparel, and yes there is money to pay many thousands of dollars to various consulting firms, as contracted by the City Council to draft the rules for citizen participation and strategies to achieve the Cultural Capital, which does not contribute anything new or new in these areas.
Well, we have to say that in this situation ARE SICK!. We do not understand what he understands the City Council for citizen participation. Will reduce it to call a vote every four years and then do what they want and say amen to all the decisions.
As we refuse to this dictatorship, to Burgos culture unofficial and not condescending to power, the belittling, marginalizing ... seven years
We demonstrate our ability to manage quality activities and justifying scrupulously, and to euro penny of the money we receive from the government, and is even complimented by the Technical Management Institute City of Culture for the harshness of our justification.
It's time to write this promised ordinance governing municipal subsidies to associations such as Tangent space with activities to the public, we can develop annual programs.
In recent years, agreements were signed in mid-year and entered on the same days, which obviously makes it impossible for planned activities and the maintenance costs of space and infrastructure necessary for them to be carried out funded and properly managed.
Would it not have been more logical for this year would improve this situation instead of worse?
Is not is one of the objectives of the European Capital support for local culture?
All this to say nothing of the grants from the Diputación de Burgos, handing paltry amounts without any criteria and charged to the year ahead.
And what about the Junta de Castilla y León wasting huge amounts of money are not very well known. Managing culture through a ghost Foundation, the Century Foundation, which lacks any political control, arbitrarily deciding that Burgos is a city of dance, film Soria young, etc ... calling
grants in summer and having to justify one month after its resolution. Will know in advance who they are going to give?.
You see a lot of talk, debate and share.
