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.

La ruta

Desde el cambio de dirección en el Reina Sofía, parece que éste ha monopolizado la discusión en arte desde Madrid. Pero, si algo había caracterizado el panorama de la ciudad en los últimos años (de hecho desde finales de los ochenta) es tener una estructura galerística fuerte. De ahí es de donde surgían las propuestas, siendo la ruta de galerías uno de los paseos obligados en la ciudad (sobre todo durante las visitas al inefable ARCO).

La semana del 26 al 30 de octubre realizamos un Workshop en Madrid (en la Casa Encedida) y, como ejercicio, nos propusimos hacer ese rastreo de galerías en Madrid. El resultado, en este nuevo número de nuestra revista, es una selección de críticas sobre tres exposiciones: Claire Harvey en una de las galerías más jóvenes y prometedoras de la ciudad, Maisterravalbuena; una nueva entrega de Erwin Olaf en Espacio Mínimo; y Jordi Colomer en Juana de Aizpuru, recuperando aquella constante de relación entre artistas de Barcelona y galerías de Madrid de los noventa. Pero, claro, tampoco podía faltar el Reina Sofía: con la propuesta de Isidoro Valcárcel Medina.

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.
