GENERATION OF THE YEAR 2000

Wha ien would have told you in 1999? But here we are 10 years later. Something which is still incredible for its creators, a dream come true: Ten years of life devoted to art and design they love.

The first issue of Bel Magazine was published in 1999. Originally the project was the personal response that Javie ry Pablo Iglesias faced a lawsuit that they had: A periodical publication echoed around the art was not yet in museums, books and other art magazines extremely conservative. They wondered to themselves \ "Will there be an audience interested in eating a publication with such unpublished CONTENT gone? \ ". We tested and the answer was a clear \" YES \ ", especially given that all the old numbers (from 001 to 020) are absolutely exhausted.

In these 10 years many things have changed, and Bel has been part of it somehow. An entire generation of artists ranging from graffiti artists to illustrators, through design & nt ilde; worship, photographers, urban artists, bloggers, fans and producers of the new culture around the vinyl-toys, musicians and deejays Veejays ... All of them addicted to electronics! If there is anything that could define this generation which represents Bel is the relationship with computers, developing new programs, new s tools, new machines, new forms of expression, new digital communities ...
The \ "Generation Effect 2000 \" refers to a singular phenomenon occurred in recent years of the nineties. when everybody thought that everything would collapse our digital world built upon us to go to \ "00 \", delete ndo and all the previous information and creating a big mess. This uncertainty is both the feeling of the younger generation of artists from the 90s. When there is no \ "official revolution \" that supposedly claim and everything has already been invented. These ten years after the \ "00 \" have the opportunity to demonstrate that this generation of aú n had to be done, say, to express ... destroying and recreating the culture again, with new blends of elements that have never before been combined. And Bel and the way they presented the culture is a representation of the concept.

This new edition of Bel and exhibition is the representation of This generation of new artists. At least part of them, some of the best men and women in the contemporary creative scene.
