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.

!Reinstitucionalízate!

Después de, bajo el epígrafe “!DesinstitucionalÌzate!”, dedicar el número anterior a la necesidad de redefinir las plataformas de producción, presentación y distribución del arte, ahora los tres textos que publicamos en “Reinstitucionalizate” plantean la necesidad de reformulación de las propias instituciones: ante nuevos modos de producción y de presentación de las prácticas artísticas.
Juan Antonio Álvarez Reyes realiza en “La crisis del formato expositivo en la cultura desmaterializada” un diágnostico de la situación. Mientras que en un texto de 2003 Bartomeu Marí hace un repaso de la irrupción de nuevas instituciones artísticas en el estado español introduciendo, como modelo de análisis, la aparición entonces del Palais de Tokyo en Paris. Finalmente Ole Bouman plantea las contradicciones de la alianza entre arquitectura y arte contemporáneo.

También publicamos cuatro nuevos textos críticos que abordan las exposiciones de Joachim Koester en el CASM, Pauline Fondevila en la galería Estrany · de la Mota, Rafel G. Bianchi en la galería Nogueras·Blanchard y Isaac Julien en la galeria Brändström & Stene de Estocolmo. Ademas de las secciones de agenda de Barcelona.

Después del paréntesis estival, el próximo número de A-Desk saldrá a primeros de septiembre con algunas novedades…

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.
