Presentación de El arte en cuestión y la Ley del arte
Jueves 6 de octubre, a las 19h, en La Central-MNCARS, Madrid, presentación del libro El arte en cuestión, editado por Álvaro de los Ángeles. Incluye La Ley del Arte, de Isidoro Valcárcel Medina. Estarán presentes en el acto Ana de Miguel, directora de Sala Parpalló, Isidoro Valcárcel Medina, artista, y Álvaro de los Ángeles, editor del libro. "El origen de esta publicación se encuentra en el proyecto expositivo Herramientas del arte. Relecturas, presentado en la Sala Parpalló de la Diputación de Valencia entre el 24 de junio y el 30 de septiembre de 2008. La intención inicial era realizar un proyecto artístico que incluyera dentro de sí varias partes, a modo de niveles o capas de actuación, que retrataran la versatilidad de medios y agentes que implica el arte contemporáneo, entendido aquí como una práctica poliédrica que refleja situaciones y comportamientos socioculturales complejos. En este sentido, el concepto de herramientas venía a indicar la ductilidad del medio artístico como contenedor de ideas, teorías, propuestas, acciones y reflexiones salpicadas –cuando no surgidas directamente– de otros campos teórico-prácticos. La elección de los artistas Isidoro Valcárcel Medina, Rogelio López Cuenca y Daniel G. Andújar, en cierta forma representantes de momentos diferentes del arte español aunque plenamente coetáneos, venía a abundar en la idea polimorfa (técnicamente hablando) y polisémica (conceptualmente) del proyecto.

Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart | A political art project in the form of a multimedia installation, open database, and interactive laboratory The project Postcapital Archive 1989–2001 by Spanish artist Daniel García Andújar centers on the profound changes that have occurred around the world on social, political, economic, and cultural levels. Key issues are the fall of the Berlin Wall and the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York. Here, Andújar examines developments after the collapse of the Wall not from the aspect of postcommunism, but postcapitalism. He is concerned with the question of how “Western” societies have changed without their former counterpart, communism, and what kinds of new walls were built through global politics after 1989 and 2001. The foundation of the project is a digital archive containing over 2,500 files the artist has gathered from the Internet over the course of the past decade. | Ein politisches

A Castle in Ruins. Decoding the Empire
Daniel G. Andújar
A HISTORY
The Real Sitio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial (the Monastery of El Escorial), as you will know, is a large building complex (a palace, the monastery itself, a museum and a library) set in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, a town 45km northwest of Madrid, in the Region of Madrid (Spain). The name El Escorial owes its name to the ancient slag (“escoria” in Spanish) deposits left by an ironworks in a village near the place where this group of buildings was erected -upon the orders of king Philip II- to commemorate Spain’s victory in the battle of St Quentin on the 10th of August, 1557, against the troops of King Henry II of France. Furthermore, it would serve as a burial place for the remains of Philip II’s parents, Emperor Charles I and Isabella of Portugal, as well as his own and those of his descendants. The building’s floor plan and its towers are reminiscent of the shape of a grill, which has led to the claim that it was built in this way in order to pay homage to St Lawrence, who was martyred in Rome by being grilled on a gridiron, and whose saint’s day is celebrated on the 10th of August, the day of the Battle of St Quentin; hence the name of the building complex, San Lorenzo, and the town which emerged around it. Prestige and power were built on slag, commemorating victory in battle and honouring a martyred saint. In addition, St Lawrence had been one of the deacons of Rome, in charge of the administration of Church goods. For this duty, he is regarded as one of the first archivists and treasurers of the Church and was made the patron saint of librarians. All of this gives rise to a series of linked metaphors which would inspire any self-respecting artist.

Este cuarto número de Nolens Volens ha sido editado en colaboración con Alfredo Cramerotti, miembro del colectivo curatorial Chamber of Public Secrets, en el marco de su participación en Manifesta 8.
El tema de exploración ha sido “mediascapes”. Y los colaboradores han trabajado en torno al concepto de cómo los medios de comunicación no
reflejan el mundo sino construyen un mundo, difícilmente son lugares públicos de información y se han transformando en una industria con una
poderosa influencia y manipulación discursiva sobre la audiencia y la sociedad.
