Creative City Fair Cibeles 2013/2014
Creative City Fair Cibeles 2013/2014 from Gustavo Romano on Vimeo. http://creativecityfair.net/ "The best-prepared cities will enjoy the most opportunities in the future. The Creative City International Fair puts Madrid at the center of knowledge solutions for smart cities, with the celebration of this global event." The Creative City International Fair Cibeles 2013/14 presents new social structures, artists and companies that are resisting the hypercartography of new communication and control agents; they attempt to break free from old capitalism, corporate, state nation and brand models, by creating networks of mutual dependence, solidarity, the defense of shared ideals, e.g. the environment, sustainable development, democracy; by giving priority to individuals, and promoting social equality; by offering sensitive and subjective alternatives in the face of the prevailing monitoring system and exchange models. One of the main characteristics of the Fair is the support it provides to productive social sectors, professionals, artists, collectives and entrepreneurs. Because of this, in order to face the challenges of globalization and prepare for the demands of the market, it combines organisational experience, innovation, technological development and competitiveness. The Fair is the fruit of the collaboration of more than 15 companies and institutions from all over the world, with the institutional support of the Madrid City Government. Creative

Psychoeconomy. The upcomming summit: Sevilla 2011
Since the last summit in Madrid in July 2010, nothing has improved. We are still confronted with the deepest economic and financial crisis since the Second World War, and now we must add a global crisis of political representation. This year, corporate leaders will meet again with a renewed goal: to write another declaration seeking to reverse the status of the global economy.

M. Martínez García Expasión El dinero, que ha jugado históricamente un papel fundamental en el apoyo a la creación y la innovación, esgrimido como vía para dar soporte a un modelo, digamos, alternativo, pero destinado a grandes audiencias. A una propuesta artística –en el caso que nos ocupa– que pretende dar una vuelta de tuerca a la crisis económica, cuestionar y renovar el capitalismo. Esa es, al menos, la pretensión del grupo de artistas que se acaba de reunir en Madrid. Con un nombre tan loco como 'Psychoeconomy!', las Naves del Matadero, la enorme dotación que poco a poco se va ganando para la Cultura en Legazpi, ha albergado la autodenominada “primera cumbre artística en torno a la crisis financiera”. Su objetivo: deliberar sobre la situación internacional y los sistemas de intercambio monetario imperantes y redactar una declaración conjunta buscando revertir el estado de la economía mundial. A ello se dedicó el cuarteto participante: Gustavo Romano –el inspirador del encuentro–, Fran Ilich, Georg Zoche y Daniel García Andujar, que aprovecharon además la cita para presentar sus proyectos más recientes, en los que critican el sistema y sus promesas democráticas e igualitarias.
