Antes que todo
La muestra se propone penetrar en el presente del arte español. A través de la participación de 56 artistas, no pretende arrojar una mirada totalizadora sobre el aquí y ahora, sino dar mayor visibilidad a formas de trabajo que se han desarrollado en los últimos 20 años. A modo de marco conceptual, el proyecto se ha articulado en torno a la idea de "expectativa", entendida como una bisagra mediadora entre pasado, presente y futuro.
Offjects
This publication is motivated by the conviction that the concept of the object, as such, has been left behind. The universe of objects, or perhaps we would have to say of 'offjects', put forward here is that of the work of those generation that graduated after the Barcelona Olympics: from 1992 into these first few years of the 21st century. What seems clear is that the classic definition of 'design' has been rendered obsolete. In the first place because an object's conceptual and narrative charge largely determines its material and physical configuration, and in second place, because many present-day pieces are not produced industrially - some because their designers chose not to, others because they seem not to fit into excessively conservative industrial set-ups. What does seem to be the case is that we are dealing with a new typology of designer, more open, more multidisciplinary and more remote from the traditional commercial circuit, which is not to say remote from the market.
Enric Miralles a izquierda y derecha
"David Bestué narrates what 'passing time' means in the works of Enric Miralles. Walking through, living, touching buildings to get to know them, coaxing meaning and emotions from them, capturing them in a series of photographs that illustrate a living architecture, removed from the preciosity so typical of the sphere of architecture. ... Bestué tries to unravel the architect's creative process, to understand how his ideas were materialised and how his work can survive in an adverse world".--P. 4 of cover.

The Illusionist Brain
How magicians exploit the natural functioning of our brains to astonish and amaze us How do magicians make us see the impossible?

Along the way, this lively and informative book provides a guided tour of modern neuroscience, using magic as a lens for understanding the unconscious and automatic functioning of our brains.

La habitación
Es habitual que en los libros de teoría e historia de la arquitectura las viviendas aparezcan representadas únicamente por sus salas de estar, dejando de lado el resto de habitaciones. Pareciera que, a pesar de su mayor número, el dormitorio no tuviera trascendencia alguna en una vivienda. Sencillamente no se piensa en él. El predominio de la sala de estar sobre cualquier otro tipo de estancia limita el potencial que podría tener la vivienda contemporánea. Este ensayo aboga por una casa con mayor sentido y complejidad y, a través de la reflexión en torno a la habitación con usos diversos, defiende la ambigüedad y la no especialización de los espacios domésticos. Para ello Xavier ...
