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.

You can decide how much you want to bring to the project.

Escritura: verdad y lo crudo

Para decidir si algo está “bien” o “mal” tenemos una regla muy sencilla: la redacción debe ser verdadera. Debemos escribir lo que es, lo que vemos, lo que oímos, lo que hacemos.
Por ejemplo, está prohibido escribir: “La abuela se parece a una bruja”. Pero sí está permitido escribir: La gente llama a la abuela “la Bruja”.
Está prohibido escribir: “El pueblo es bonito”, porque el pueblo puede ser bonito para nosotros y feo para otras personas.
Del mismo modo, si escribimos “el ordenanza es bueno”, no es verdad, porque el ordenanza puede ser capaz de cometer maldades que nosotros ignoramos. Escribimos, sencillamente: “el ordenanza nos ha dado unas mantas”.
Escribiremos: “comemos muchas nueces”, y no: “nos gustan las nueces”, porque la palabra “gustar” no es una palabra segura, carece de precisión y de objetividad. “Nos gustan las nueces” y “nos gusta nuestra madre” no puede querer decir lo mismo.
