Living Inside the Grid
A grid is an abstract, simple mathematical structure ordered by ninety-degree angles and regularly spaced columns and rows. A grid is also the cities we live and work in, the buildings that tower over us, the electricity and fiber-optic networks that sustain our energy and information needs. We do, as the title of this thematic catalogue suggests, "live inside the grid." The pervasive grid-based visual and information systems that have come to increasingly define contemporary life are explored here by 24 international artists, for whom the grid is something very different than the motif it was for 20th century artists. Artists include Absalon, Jennifer Bolande, Jose Damasceno, Do-Ho Su, Luisa Lambri, Langlands & Bell, Mark Lombardi, Rita McBride, N55 and Danica Phelps. Organized around three critical positions, Living Inside the Grid considers the grid in architecture and urban space; interlocking cultural, linguistic and economic grids; and soft grids.
Constructive Resistance
This book examines constructive resistance practices that range from street protests to the use of photographic images, and displays their role in local and global political processes. By building on a rich selection of interview material and other empirical research, the book elaborates on different cases of constructive resistance, where close attention is paid to the productive qualities that are involved. It offers new perspectives on the undertakings of different epistemic battles that occur around current issues such as gender, nationalism, climate change, migration and the right to land, and explores personal narratives, artistic expressions and public statements that are utilized as ...
Turns of the Global, The
When we talk about the geographical, ecological, ethnographic, historical, documentary, and cosmopolitan “turns” in relation to the work of practitioners of contempory art, what exactly do we mean? Are we talking about a “reading strategy”? About an interpretive model, as would be derived from the linguistic turn of the 1970s, or rather about a stratigraphic structure that could be read across multiple cultural practices? Do we wish to read one system by means of another system, in a way that one nurtures the other so that it can open us up to other forms of being? Or is it rather about a generative movement in which a new horizon emerges in the process, leaving behind the practice t...
Keep Reading Giving Rise
In the framework of the exhibition 'Rogelio López Cuenca. Keep Reading, Giving Rise', the artist's first retrospective, his main preoccupations are surveyed through five core themes: Collaborations, Poetic Expansion, City and Avant-garde, New World Order and Artistic Expansion. The show concludes with the installation Islas (Islands), produced exclusively for the exhibition, whereby López Cuenca sets forth a critical re-reading of texts and historical etchings related to the 'discovery' of America. Exhibition: Museo Nacional Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain (02.04.-26.08.2019).
Artifacts and Allegiances
What can we learn about nationalism by looking at a country’s cultural institutions? How do the history and culture of particular cities help explain how museums represent diversity? Artifacts and Allegiances takes us around the world to tell the compelling story of how museums today are making sense of immigration and globalization. Based on firsthand conversations with museum directors, curators, and policymakers; descriptions of current and future exhibitions; and inside stories about the famous paintings and iconic objects that define collections across the globe, this work provides a close-up view of how different kinds of institutions balance nationalism and cosmopolitanism. By comparing museums in Europe, the United States, Asia, and the Middle East, Peggy Levitt offers a fresh perspective on the role of the museum in shaping citizens. Taken together, these accounts tell the fascinating story of a sea change underway in the museum world at large.

El cos maltractat : contexto de la col·lecció Martínez Guerricabeitia
El catálogo explora las vertientes del maltrato, infligido voluntariamente tanto en el cuerpo físico individual como, yendo a una perspectiva más amplia, en el cuerpo social. Esta reflexión se apoya en las creaciones de siete artistas contemporáneos: Carmen Calvo, Rafael Armengol, Josep Díaz Azorín, Joan Castejón, Joan Genovés, Mayte Vieta y Rogelio López Cuenca. Esta publicación nace a raíz de la exposición del mismo título organizada por el Patronato Martínez Guerricabeitia de la Fundación General de la Universitat de València. La treintena de obras que forman parte de la exposición El cuerpo maltratado y que recoge el presente volumen, son analizadas a través de los textos críticos del profesor de la Universitat de València Ricard Huerta, y de la crítico de arte catalana Glòria Bosch. Ambos analizan los rituales impuestos en nuestra sociedad entorno al cuerpo (piercing, tatuajes, etc.) como medio de entrar a formar parte de una comunidad.
