Artista local

¿Es el artista local alguien que no expone ni crea fuera de su ciudad? ¿Es el artista local alguien que no tiene otros referentes que sus colegas, la generación anterior, o la historia del lugar? ¿Es el artista local el último ser “auténtico”? A veces, en los confines del mundo, se encuentran respuestas curiosas. En Bergen, Noruega, en el artist-run space Knipsu se presenta una exposición con artistas locales de Holanda. Artistas locales de Holanda en Noruega. La exposición se inaugura tres veces, y en la tercera ocasión el peso recae en los artistas internacionales. La segunda es para los que están en un término medio, pero se evita el término “nacional”. A veces, un poco de ironía nos ayuda a desdramatizar. Aunque siempre es más sencillo hacerlo a unos tropocientos kilómetros de distancia de casa.

En este nuevo número presentamos una crítica de Haizea Barcenilla a “Haunted” en el Guggenheim de Bilbao, Rosa Naharro se acerca a “On & On” en la Casa Encendida de Madrid y Andrea Pachecho entrevista a Bestué – Vives y Manuel Segade a propósito de su último trabajo.

A*DESK is a critical platform focused on publishing, training, experimentation, communication and dissemination in relation to contemporary culture and art, which is defined by transversality. The starting point is contemporary art, because that is where we come from and this awareness allows us to go much further, to incorporate other disciplines and forms of thought in order debate issues that are relevant and urgent for understanding our present.
