    Daniel G. Andújar The 61st Venice Art Biennale has just opened its doors, and it is already operating as an institution in a state of emergency. Before the public had even begun to stroll through the Giardini and the Arsenale as usual the 2026 edition was already rife with resignations, boycotts, shuttered pavilions, artists sacked…

Quiere rediseñarla a su imagen El problema no es que Alexander Karp haya escrito un libro. El problema es que Palantir ha decidido convertirlo en doctrina pública.

    The recent debate about the validity, function, and future of the museum—rekindled by the publication of Francesc Torres’s article “The Winter Palace Is Somewhere Else” and the responses it has triggered—has settled, with almost anesthetic ease, into a false battlefield. We seem forced to choose a trench in a binary war of positions: either we…

    This essay reflects on the material, social, and symbolic conditions that enable or limit the possibility of rupture in art, critical theory, and cultural practice. Through an intersectional critique, it argues that aesthetic freedom and the capacity to challenge norms are not universal prerogatives but privileges unequally distributed along lines of class, gender, race, sexuality,…

    A procession of art, memory, and artichokes📽️ Watch the video here What if, instead of viewing art inside a museum, we walked with it through the furrows of a field? What if masterpieces, instead of being locked behind glass, were paraded down the streets to the rhythm of a local band, among students, horses, and…

    The closure of Censorship Is the Curator (of This Exhibition) in Escaldes-Engordany highlights, once again, the persistence of censorship and the ease with which political intervention—justified under a discourse of “security”—can erode the democratic foundations of artistic practice. This episode reinforces the urgency of articulating affirmative resistance from within the cultural field and compels us…

    “Art is both a product and process. By reproducing, hacking, and redistributing iconic paintings from the world’s most prestigious collections, this exhibition questions the authority of the original and the institutional framing of art history itself. What happens when the Mona Lisa is just a click away, when Las Meninas can be printed at will?…

    The visual arts system in Spain faces a complex and challenging situation, evoking a true Lorquian tragicomedy. The legal ambiguity surrounding who qualifies as a “visual artist,” the lack of effective public policies, and an education system stuck in the past hinder the consolidation of a solid artistic context. While Europe advances in the integration…
