“With its video competition, ‘Cool Stories’ ArtPort will present [...] probably the first thoroughly researched, comprehensive artists’ exchange project to take place between Spain and New York, which investigates the issue of global warming.” www.daab-online.de

COOL STORIES premiered at Scope Basel, June 13, 2007, and was shown at JAM ART Mallorca, Valencia.Art, DiVA Paris, and PooL Art Fair Miami, all in 2007.

ARTPORT is an international arts exchange project based in New York and Spain which promotes the cross-fertilization of art, science, academia, and politics through exhibitions and residencies. Our current focus is Global Warming. www.artport-project.org
