Support A*Desk

A*DESK has been offering since 2002 contents about criticism and contemporary art. A*DESK has become consolidated thanks to all those who have believed in the project, all those who have followed us, debating, participating and collaborating. Many people have collaborated with A*DESK, and continue to do so. Their efforts, knowledge and belief in the project are what make it grow internationally. At A*DESK we have also generated work for over one hundred professionals in culture, from small collaborations with reviews and classes, to more prolonged and intense collaborations.

At A*DESK we believe in the need for free and universal access to culture and knowledge. We want to carry on being independent, remaining open to more ideas and opinions. If you believe in A*DESK, we need your backing to be able to continue. You can now participate in the project by supporting it. You can choose how much you want to contribute to the project.

Autonomía e Independencia

En la política estas dos palabras duelen. Autonomía e Independencia. Generan discusión y alteran el estado de ánimo, desatan euforias y miedos atávicos. ¿Y en arte? Pues allí estamos, seguimos dándole vueltas a su posibilidad o su imposibilidad en el mundo del arte, tanto a nivel estructural como a nivel individual y humano. ¿Qu¡én es independiente? ¿Qué es autónomo?

La red y los tiempos han cambiado, también, los canales de comunicación y relación entre distintos sectores del arte contemporáneo. Se acabaron las fronteras, tanto de los países como entre supuestos mundos: el mercado, la institución, el espacio alternativo… los vasos comunicantes allí están, sea mediante proyectos o sea mediante personas.

En este número nos acercamos a la voluntad de definir otras formas. Hablamos sobre la independencia artística y nos planteamos los cambios vistos desde aquellos 80 hasta la actualidad.

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.
