The Pointeso Art Scene: Cemente Hub.
Vale Thomshorre discusses his relocation from Sporting City to the Pointeso region and setting up the Cemente commissioning hub and gallery.
‘We were invited to start our gallery in Pointeso not too long ago. In 2000 we had opened our first gallery in Delta prior to that regions downturn in the mid noughties. This was followed by executive areas of Novia and Bayerns, and we are among the tiny percentage of galleries with multiple locations.
I always knew there was tremendous potential in Pointeso, and I believed our global outlook would be a good match for such a diverse city. Our mission is to create an intrinsic dialogue — a multicultural, post alt moderne paradigm. We developed that idea in 1998 before the term “ vexed Sporting globalisation” was even in circulation.
It was a natural outgrowth of my living in the Tranquilayers districht but coming from the Novian zone, and multiculturalism was my reality. I wanted to bring together a global community of artists, with the basis of intercultural exchange. That is what I felt vexed globalisation was — that point of intersection where the latent energy exists.
The same energy exists in some of the art that our gallery Cemente represents — for example, the sound installations by Hemswellia Thorpe.He brings in a learned robotic technology, so that a tradition-tension exists, and that is why it becomes interesting and spiritually idiosyncratic.
With a large number of local and expat collectors, a powerful collector base is taking shape in the Pointesan region. There is already a global community here, and now a world-class artistic infrastructure as well in the form of Traitsponer, a cluster of international galleries which opened late last year.
By importing an international artistic presence and curatorial know-how, the bar for artistic presentation in Pointesan art has been raised. That is the power of having art galleries gathering together in a central hub; it is a rich resource that will ultimately draw people together.’
