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.

Plantar y plantear

A veces, las ideas se generan escuchando (o medio escuchando) una conferencia. A veces, la lectura de algunos textos nos anima a releer otros textos para encontrar eso que hemos estado merodeando durante mucho tiempo pero no lográbamos comprender. La crítica puede ser también ese lugar en el que algo se define, algo se genera, algo que no tiene que estar necesariamente ligado a lo tratado.

Nos proponemos con este número “estival” la aproximación a la posibilidad de una idea. Presentamos textos que inician recorridos, que plantean dudas y abren interrogantes. En algunos casos mediante exposiciones que pueden visitarse, en otros a partir de razonamientos artístico-políticos o artístico-educativos. Rosa Naharro analiza las relecturas de la colección en el Reina Sofía, Claudio Iglesias escribe alrededor de dos propuestas que buscan cambios en el formato expositivo, Jaime Cuenca entra en la relación entre arte y terrorismo y Desiré Vidal se plantea las paradojas entre la educación en arte y su profesionalismo.

Puertas abiertas para seguir trazando líneas, formando opciones y buscando, como siempre, la capacidad para discutir todo lo discutible.

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.
