A monthly newsletter where we will gather together the latest publications (interviews, in depth articles, national and international criticism) related to one specific theme, a theme that will change every month. In this new editorial stage at A*DESK we are aiming to explore subjects in more depth, looking at some of the must current issues in art and culture, in a range of formats and from different perspectives. <\/p>\n<p>The month of February we\u2019ve focussed on participation, in its multiple facets and registers. We\u2019ve considered its different uses (undoubtedly not all of them); from the perspective of the artist as well as that of the institution; looking at the public as object and the participant as subject; placing it in relation to the community while also introducing collaboration.  <\/p>\n<p>So we began the month with Juanjo Santos conducting an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.a-desk.org\/highlights\/PERSON-SPECIFIC,3036.html\">interview with Daniel G. And\u00fajar<\/a> where we read about his current exhibition at MNCARS (Operating System), but also about visibility, alterity, communities and access.  <\/p>\n<p>In the second week Xavi Acar\u00edn carried out a magnificent  <a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/PERSON-SPECIFIC.html\">revision of participation<\/a> with \u201cexperience\u201d as a satellite concept; a synthesis of the evolution of performance that pivots around the tension between artist (performer) and public (collaborator, assistant, participant, spectator\u2026).  <\/p>\n<p>We dedicated the third week in February to \u201cinternational\u201d criticism; Sonia F. Pan wrote from Brussels about the <a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/This-is-so-untitled-Tino-Sehgal-at.html\">exhibition of Tino Sehgal<\/a> at the Jan Mot Gallery.  She also wrote about the work of this artist, with whom participation can go even beyond the public.  <\/p>\n<p>To end the month, \u201cThe indefinitely ideal variable of the popular\u201d, or out of the ordinary communities or individuals and their voice (to which Jeremy Deller grants visibility) are the focus of <a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/What-is-the-city-but-the-people.html\">the exhibition review by Montse Badia<\/a> not to be missed while it\u2019s on at the CA2M.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/The-Exploit-Daniel-G-Andujar.html\">Interview with Daniel G.
