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.

Usos y control del espacio público

A*DESK

Esta ha sido una semana llena de contrastes. Desde A*DESK, Rosa Naharro se hacía eco de la exposición Playground. Reinventar la plaza, en la que se hace especial hincapié, vía Marcelo Expósito, en la “imaginación radical de la política” y la idea de recuperar formas carnavalescas como forma de resistencia.

Mientras tanto, la ciudad de Barcelona vivía unas jornadas de extrema tensión tras el desalojo de Can Vies.

No cabe duda que la definición de lo común, los usos y el control del espacio público son algunos de los principales puntos de tensión que van a contribuir a la definición de un futuro que cada vez se está pareciendo más al que imaginó George Orwell en su novela 1984.

A*DESK, Independent Institute of Criticism and Contemporary Art, is dedicated to learning, publishing and research related to the criticism of contemporary art. Taking the view that critical thought makes individuals free, its mission is to defend actively the importance of criticism: to generate debate about contemporary art, to enable each individual to establish their own opinion and by doing so promote culture.
