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.

…y la exposición

Siguiendo con el post de Aimar Arriola sobre la historiografía del comisariado, resulta interesante ver como Phaidon (en su afán para redactar toda historia posible) ha publicado “Salon to Biennial”, un compendio de exposiciones que busca ser algo así como la biblia de un formato (después de algunas décadas de discusión, y otras publicaciones, sobre el tema).

Si pensamos en el cine y su división en géneros, así como en su historiografía, la “historia de la exposición” lleva algunos años de retraso en la definición de qué es qué en la exposición. Todo consumidor de cine reconoce al instante una película de terror, de acción y hasta de “cine independiente”. Seguramente con las exposiciones la cosa aún no está tan clara…. ¿tendrá algo que ver la industria?

Director of Index Foundation, Stockholm, exhibition curator and art critic. Yes, after Judith Butler it is possible to be several things at once. He thinks that questions are important and that, sometimes, to ask means to point out.
