Crespín will talk about the technical and creative process in the making of his “electrokinetics”. In addition, the artist will make demonstrations of how to program the installations, and engage the audience to participate in adding new sequences that will keep during his exhibition at Canal.

For the past 4 years, Elías Crespín (b. Caracas, 1965) has been developing his series of works “Electrocinéticas” (Electrokinetics), based on the study, exploration and research in the field of Science Computer and a family legacy that embraced his training as an artist.  Crespín has exhibited at the National Art Gallery of Caracas; Jacobo Borges Museum; the Museum of Contemporary Art of Zulia; the Museum of Miranda; among others. Likewise, he has obtained national and international recognition, such as the Artist’s Choice Award at ArtBots (2005), in Dublin, Ireland; as well as the Armando Reverón Prize at the 61st Arturo Michelena Salon in Venezuela. Since 2004, Crespín has been teaching and giving lectures about his work in numerous universities and museums of Venezuela. His next exhibition will be at the Kinetica Museum in London.
