EL TEATRO DEL ARTE. Colección “la Caixa”. Arte Contemporáneo
Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos 3 de octubre – 12 enero 2014 El teatro del arte es una exposición que reúne diecisiete obras realizadas por algunos de los autores más relevantes de la Colección de Arte Contemporáneo Fundación “la Caixa”, las cuales configuran un auténtico panóptico sobre algunas de las principales tendencias estéticas desde principios de los ochenta hasta la actualidad. Instalaciones emblemáticas para la historia del arte, como las de Paul McCarthy, Juan Muñoz, Bruce Nauman o Allan McCollum, conviven junto a piezas de reputados artistas del panorama nacional e internacional, entre los cuales se encuentran Muntadas, Esther Ferrer y Hans-Peter Feldmann. Verdaderos clásicos de los años ochenta y noventa, por ejemplo Carlos Pazos, Katharina Fritsch y Stefan Hablützel, comparten espacio con trabajos muy representativos de la última década, según manifiestan las propuestas de Roni Horn, Jordi Colomer y Jessica Stockholder. Finalmente, merece destacarse la presencia de artistas cuyas trayectorias empiezan a ser validadas por diversos museos de todo el mundo, como Sharon Lockhart y Daniel García Andújar, quienes muestran sus proyectos al lado de Robin Rhode e Ignacio Uriarte, autores muy jóvenes pero que, sin embargo, se hallan en plena efervescencia creativa. El proyecto El arte contemporáneo parece haber radicalizado esa idea, típica

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
De la Biennal de Venècia a Girona
L'any passat, Catalunya va participar en la Biennal de Venècia amb un pavelló propi. Des d'aquesta setmana, en diversos espais de Girona, es pot veure una mostra del que s'hi va exposar.
Com sobreviure a la comunitat
Arriba a Girona l'exposició del pavelló català a Venècia, ara repartida en quatre espais 04/02/10 02:00 - xavier castillón elpunt «Al final el més difícil és estar sol, i és possible que d'aquí a poc temps tinguem nostàlgia d'estar sols. Tot i que aparentment hi ha una tendència a l'individualisme, estan proliferant noves formes d'organització col·lectiva, per exemple a través d'internet. Estem permanentment connectats i ser individu resulta cada vegada més difícil.» És una reflexió en veu alta de Valentín Roma, comissari del projecte La comunitat inconfessable, que l'any passat es va poder veure al pavelló català de la Biennal de Venècia i ara arriba a Girona, a través del centre d'art contemporani Bòlit, on aquest vespre (19.30h) s'inaugurarà repartida en quatre espais de la ciutat: les sales de la Rambla i la capella de Sant Nicolau, que el Bòlit ja utilitza habitualment, i el Museu d'Història de la Ciutat i el Museu d'Història dels Jueus. En realitat, no és una, sinó tres exposicions o projectes, nascuts ja abans de la gran cita veneciana: Technologies to the people, de Daniel G. Andújar; Sitesize, de Joan Vila-Puig i Elvira Pujol, i Archivo F.X., de Pedro G. Romero. Partint del llibre homònim del pensador francès Maurice Blanchot (1907-2003), La comunitat inconfessable proposa fer una reflexió «sobre la idea de comunitat i allò que és comú o comunitari». «Els projectes han de servir per generar coneixement i per explorar territoris i deixar un rastre documental i d'idees en les persones», afirma Roma, i la directora del Bòlit, Rosa Pera, considera que aquest plantejament connecta molt bé amb les línies habituals del centre d'art gironí: «Volem posar l'accent en la relació entre les pràctiques artístiques contemporànies i la ciutadania.» La comunitat inconfessable ha adaptat els seus continguts a quatre espais que no tenen res a veure amb un gran pavelló, i en el cas dels dos museus històrics del carrer de la Força, el dels jueus i el de la ciutat, els artistes han fet dialogar les seves creacions amb les respectives col·leccions permanents.

LA COMUNIDAD INCONFESABLE
Archivio postcapitale (1989-2001) La Biennale di Venezia.
Magazzino del Sale 3, Dorsoduro 264 30123 Venècia L’Archivo Postcapital(1989-2001) – www.postcapital.org – è stato presentato per la prima volta nel 2006 presso il centro La Virreina-Exposiciones di Barcellona, come parte del progetto Postcapital. Política, ciudad, dinero [Postcapitale. Politica, città, soldi], insieme alle opere dell’artista Carlos Garaicoa e del saggista Iván de la Nuez. Da allora, questa proposta multimediale in costante sviluppo – che agli utenti consente non soltanto la consultazione, ma anche la copia e addirittura la modifica – si è ampliata nel corso di esposizioni, laboratori, workshop e interventi nello spazio pubblico, realizzati a Oslo, Santiago del Cile, Brema, Montreal, Istanbul, Dortmund e, più di recente, sotto forma antologica, nel Württembergischer Kunstverein di Stoccarda. Nella sua configurazione attuale, l’archivio include più di 250.000 documenti compilati tramite Internet da Daniel G. Andújar nel corso di quasi dieci anni di lavoro creativo. Questi materiali, tra i quali si possono trovare pubblicazioni, videoclip, audio e banche di immagini, tracciano una vasta radiografia delle trasformazioni geopolitiche e della situazione delle ideologie comuniste e capitaliste nel periodo compreso tra la caduta del Muro di Berlino e l’attentato alle Torri Gemelle di New York.
La comunitat inconfessable. Venezia Catalunya 2009.
The project - lines of work Despite being presented as a unitary project, La comunitat inconfessable has three different lines of action:
1. An exhibition presenting the ideas generated by each of the participants (Sitesize/Joan Vila-Puig and Elvira Pujol, Technologies To The People/Daniel G. Andújar and Archivo F.X./Pedro G. Romero) using the metaphor of a library as a reference point or visual interface. Thus, each intervention constitutes a “deconstructed” approach -i.e., distorted, unconstructed, destroyed or under construction- to this space of knowledge, learning and theatricality that is Borges’ interminable library, which functions here as a sort of meeting point of the “community of readers” urged by Blanchot.
2. A book constituting a kind of polyphony of essays using texts by Maurice Blanchot, Giorgio Agamben, Jean Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Lars Iyer, Peter Pál Pelbart and Marina Garcés that were published in different contexts, periods and media, but which, never the less, pose shared questions such as: What is the common? In which political or mental space is the notion of community developed? With which elements is it confronted? On which does it feed?
Interrupting this speculative drift around the question about the communal, there appear three insertions by each of the participants in the project – Sitesize, Technologies To The People and Archivo F.X. These insertion points include a written presentation of their respective artistic ideas, a visual work specifically conceived for the book, linked to the themes presented in museographic format, and a conversation between each artist and various philosophers, anthropologists, historians, geographers and curators (Gerard Horta, Francesc Muñoz, Eduard Masjuan, Iris Dressler, Jacob Lillemose, the Todoazen collective, Juan José Lahuerta and Manuel Delgado) with whom they share the same ideological and conceptual concerns.
3. La comunitat inconfessable project is completed by a website that will document it visually and textually, and operate as a vast archival collection around the notion of the communal from the perspective of philosophy, anthropology, the social sciences and art, among other disciplines.
The Postcapital Archive(1989-2001), www.postcapital.org, was presented for the first time in 2006 at the La Virreina Centre de la Imatge in Barcelona as part of the Postcapital. Politics, the city, money project, together with the work of artist Carlos Garaicoa and essayist Iván de la Nuez. Since then this multimedia proposal in process—that not only allows user consultations but also copying and even modification—has gone on expanding in successive exhibitions, workshops and interventions in public space carried out in Oslo, Santiago de Chile, Bremen, Montreal, Istanbul, Dortmund and, more recently, at the Württembergischer Kunstvereinin Stuttgart as an anthology. In its current configuration, the archive contains more than 250,000 documents compiled from the Internet by Daniel G. Andújar over nearly a decade of creative work. These materials, among which publications, video and audio clips and image banks are to be found, sketch out a vast examination of the geopolitical transformations and the state of the communist and capitalist ideologies in the period spanning from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the attack on the Twin Towers in New York.
