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.

Salto al vacío. Arte, riesgo y responsabilidad individual

A-Desk.org se posiciona sobre el contexto y la realidad artística realizando un ejercicio de crítica a partir de la creación contemporánea. El sector artístico necesita de actitudes y agentes que sean capaces de estar en la cuerda floja por lo que ésta supone de experimentación, análisis crítico y responsabilidad individual. A-Desk.org presenta en “Salto al vacío. Arte, riesgo y responsabilidad individual” tres ejemplos de posicionamientos críticos individuales.
Publicamos en este número un texto de Antonio Ortega, artista, a partir de su encuentro artístico con los famosos mediáticos. Rosa Martínez, comisaria, nos habla del arte como valor social, y Maria Lind, comisaria, presenta el carácter revolucionario de la acción artística en la nueva economía.

Y tres nuevos textos críticos que abordan el cierre de NIFCA, las exposiciones Postcapital y Malévich, y Processos Oberts en Terrassa. Ademas de las secciones de agenda 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.
