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.

Paradinhas

A*STUDY ya está en marcha. Desde A*DESK creemos en la necesidad de plantearnos constantemente los sistemas, los formatos y la repetición constante de nombres a la que asistimos. Poner en duda todo lo que nos rodea, y todo lo que producimos, nos obliga en muchas ocasiones a un ritmo externamente lento, pero internamente cargado de contenido.

Es durante estos momentos de supuesta pausa que se va cociendo lo que será, donde las incertidumbres que nos rodean van convirtiéndose en palabras que nos ayudan a ver y interpretar aquello que define nuestra realidad. Para responder con nuevas visiones, con nuevos agentes, con nuevas propuestas.

En este número de A*MAGAZINE presentamos textos críticos frente algunas situaciones. Situaciones de impacto, de visibilidad y también de pausada lentitud. Claudio Iglesias escribe sobre la Bienal de Sao Paulo, Marti Manen sobre el gesto de renuncia de Santiago Sierra y Clara Paolini sobre la exposición de Elena del Rivero en la Galería Senda de Barcelona.

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.
