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.

La iniciativa JustMAD ha contribuido a contrarestrar los amplios y desangelados espacios de ARCO’10, con un poco de energía, frescura y, sobre todo, escala humana. Galerías jóvenes, dimensiones reducidas, plataformas curatoriales y muchas ganas de comunicar.
Naturalmente, la segunda edición deberá pulir muchas cosas: mejorar la selección o trabajar un poco más la sección Curator’s Desk, entre otras. Pero, de momento, esta primera presentación cumple una función muy necesaria: aportar un soplo de aire fresco.
Montse Badia has never liked standing still, so she has always thought about travelling, entering into relation with other contexts, distancing herself, to be able to think more clearly about the world. The critique of art and curating have been a way of putting into practice her conviction about the need for critical thought, for idiosyncrasies and individual stances. How, if not, can we question the standardisation to which we are being subjected?

Financing culture
“We understand patronage and philanthropy as a tool for creating capital and social wealth”
“GOTEO encompasses access to culture, democratization of financing and the right to sustain long-term citizen projects.”
"A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world" (John Le Carré)
