Fragmentos de autenticidad

La Taller, hasta el 4 de mayoNo es habitual que las propuestas que surgen del mundo del arte contemporáneo encuentren repercusión en un público más amplio. Muy a menudo son producidas y consumidas en el seno de un pequeño colectivo de entendidos y se mantienen decorosamente al margen de cualquier debate que exhiba verdadera vida. Este que nos...

He understood that there was a performative logic to the nature of law, which was the result of the fundamental indeterminacy of legal discourses. It allowed him to transform a political trial from a mere instrument of power into a cultural artefact that was capable of provoking a public...

Avelino Sala sobre 'Los márgenes de la fábrica', en A*DESK

"Las obras remarcan la vida (política) del objeto como material valorable en la comunidad a través del trabajo acumulado para su realización. En un capitalismo feroz que nos arrastra a todos como en una riada, proyectos como este devienen asideros donde agarrarse, esperanzas desde los márgenes." - Una reseña de Avelino Sala sobre la exposición en...

Work at the margins

Jaime Cuenca wrote about "Work in progress" and "Producing time in between other things" for the catalog, published by Sala Rekalde, that came out on occasion of our solo exhibition curated by Alex Baurés at FRAC Aquitaine.

A text by Iñaki Martínez de Albéniz and Gabriel Villota Toyos, from Complicidades = Konplizitateak = ComplicitiesThe idea that we will be defending here is that certain contemporary artistic practices, indebted to the conceptual, post-conceptual and/or relational practices of recent times, are loaded with a series of tensions that point towards an...

Het Democratisch Experiment

'De hoorzittingen zijn een vergrootglas op het proces van democratisering. Je legt alles bloot, ook de pijnpunten. De Occupy’ers zijn positief over de gesprekken. Het heeft ook een therapeutische functie: mensen zijn moe en wij luisteren naar ze.' Uiteindelijk willen de kunstenaars een compilatie maken van de twintig gesprekken en die op internet...
