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.

Curating? (I)

Como espacio de discusión dedicado a la crítica de arte, A-Desk analiza en las dos próximas entregas el rol desempeñado por el curador, una de las posiciones más relevantes y complejas del sistema arte en la actualidad. De este modo, Curating?(I) ofrece tres artículos que intentan redefinir sus funciones, así como sus estrechos vínculos con la práctica de la crítica.

Desde sus similitudes discursivas, Montse Badia define la actividad curatorial como ensayo crítico, apostando por una relación complementaria entre el comisariado de exposiciones y la escritura crítica en arte. Carlos Basualdo explora la multiplicidad de actitudes y realidades implícitas en la práctica curatorial y, por su parte, Boris Kremer enfoca la lectura del curador desde las estrategias de poder que definen su contexto de trabajo.

PRÓXIMO NÚMERO
Nº 3 03 04 06 Curating? (II)

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.
