The INELCOM COLLECTION of Contemporary Art is composed to date of 139 artists and 507 works ranging from drawing, sculpture, photography, installation, painting and video.
The collection has been advised by Vicente Todolí since 2011.
The Collection won in 2016 the "A" Award for Corporate Collecting granted by the ARCO Foundation.
The works gathered under the Inelcom Contemporary Art Collection are based on four ideas strongly linked to the company: the concept of communication/incommunication, energy as a source, vehicle and object in all its possible manifestations; memory against forgetting and natural environment: strength, life and landscape.
Communication / incommunication.
What better than communication and incommunication as the foundation of the Collection being a company dedicated to connecting people?
The works that make up the collection establish a dialogue between human beings, raising issues and questions around loneliness, silence, fame, power, emigration or marginalization.
In the tour the spectator is invited to reach their own conclusions.
Energy as a source, vehicle and object in all its possible manifestations.
Energy efficiency is a key instrument for improving competitiveness and necessary to guarantee the sustainability of society.
To achieve it, we must generate new solutions that contribute to the reduction of energy demand thanks to their efficiency.
In recent years at Inelcom there has been a great expansion in this sector, this has led us to the Collection, a faithful reflection of the company, illustrating this fact.
Energy has become an indispensable part of human life, it is the source of modern technologies.
These technologies have also meant a revolution in artistic techniques, which until the 19th century were all handmade.
Energy becomes the source of a new art; but it goes further, it is not only the physical mechanism, but often it is both subject and object, the medium and the protagonist.
A vehicle that allows us to interact with the work and immerse ourselves in art.
Memory against forgetting.
The collection is one of the two ways from which we promote our culture, from Inelcom we also promote initiatives for the recovery and enhancement of historical heritage
Memory is the connecting point of these two paths, the conjunction of historical heritage and artistic present.
The identity of the human being, of the society that surrounds them and of which they are a part, is based on individual and collective memory. This memory establishes a dialogue between past and present peoples and between those of the past and those of the present, showing us the cyclical nature of events.
Art then behaves as a way of knowledge against forgetting, it is an open window that shows us other times.
Natural Environment. Strength, life and landscape.
Fourth pillar of the company and the collection. As we have mentioned, concerned about the environment, at Inelcom we seek environmental sustainability, through the balance generated thanks to the harmonious relationship between society and the nature that surrounds it. This implies achieving development results, without threatening the sources of our natural resources and without compromising those of future generations.
To this end, Inelcom works on projects for the rationalization and consumption of water in irrigation communities, in parks and gardens, as well as in cities. Seeking the best efficient use of this scarce resource, essential for the development of nature and society, of life and the landscapes it makes up.
