"Prison of Love " touring in Spain--> next venue
.
It is a funny idea to imagine,
that a "prison of love" is touring through the country
like a collection of curios celebrated on a kermis.
In Spain, currently  "Prison of Love" (carcel de amor)
http://www.carceldeamor.net
and its online part "Violence without Bodies" (violencia sin cuerpos),
http://www.carceldeamor.net/vsc/,
the contemporary art show on the theme of gender violence,
continue touring through Spanish museums and stop between 12 May and 19 June at
Hospital de San Juan de Dios. Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Almagro/Spain,
and of course the subject itself and its correlations are anything else than funny.
.
Of particular relevance is the online part "Violence without bodies"
curated by Remedios Zafra,
as it shows the relevance of the Internet as a medium and platform for
a new type of "engaged" contemporary art working,
and beyond that represents the show one of a few examples,
that net based art is presented to a broader audience as an equal  form of contemporary art,
a status which has net based art, not yet generally.
So, this show has a kind of  emancipatory character in different concern und
deserves therefore particular attention,
including net based works by Francesca da Rimini, Natalie Bookchin,
Tina La Porta, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, Igor Stromejer, Agricola de Cologne etc
complete list see further ahead.

The show "Prison of Love", presenting multiple perspectives and views on
violence in couple and family-
their limits and energy expressing the changing and heterogenous relations
between the cultural analysis, the political critics and the artistic
production, - is structured in 5 parts interrelating with each other. eg
a cycle of films and videos, an Internet based online part, conferences and
meetings and the edition and an action by Angélica Liddell.
