Intersecciones e interferencias

Uno de los grandes logros del arte contemporáneo es su versatilidad. Su libertad, en definitiva, para reformularse, acercarse a otras metodologías y mezclarse con otras aproximaciones. Los artistas tienen a su disposición todos los medios a su alcance. Pueden convertir sus trabajos en novelas, obras de teatro, campañas publicitarias, películas, documentales, videoclips, esudios sociológicos, prototipos arquitectónicos, programas de televisión o partidos políticos. Esto en el mejor de los casos. En el peor, puede caerse en un amateurismo con ínfulas de complejidad. Pero la pregunta interesante sería: ¿existe una mirada al arte o a su manera de hacer desde esas otras disciplinas? ¿Cuál es el peso específico del arte y sus modos de hacer en otras actividades?

En este número de a-desk nos encontramos con algunas artistas cuyos discursos se mueven en terrenos compartidos con otros ámbitos. Martí Manen entrevista al director de teatro Rodrigo García; David G. Torres escribe sobre las exposiciones de Keren Cytter y Dora García en Estrany-de la Mota y ProjecteSD, respectivamente; Montse Badia analiza la muestra de Aleksandra Mir en la Galería Joan Prats y Claudio Iglesias analiza la reciente edición de la Trienal de Chile.

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.
