Luisa Ortinez "Reflections of Contemporary India" shows the work of four Indian artists, focussed on analysing the world around them. Their work marks a meeting point between the contemporary languages of art and the inward gaze, in the dissonance where religious and cultural traditions and modernity occupy the same space.

"In May 2005, Muhanned Cader, Thamotharampillai Shanaathanan, Chandraguptha Thenuwara and Jagath Weerasinghe each created a drawing. The artists then posted their drawings to one other artist in the group, who created a new drawing in response to the one they received. So marked the start of The One Year Drawing Project. This process of exchange continued until each of the artists had received and sent 52 drawings, with the project reaching its conclusion in October 2007." "This book brings together the exchange that ensued between the four artists in response, and as a consequence, to the initial four drawings. It includes all 208 drawings from the project, presented in sequence and in their entirety. As a book, the project documents an exchange of view-points - artistic and ideological - sustained during a period of violent conflict in Sri Lanka. A chronology, compiled by the artists, recalls the background of events against which this project unfolded."--

La Casa Encendida is organising the first SOUnd ART exhibition ever to take place in Madrid. Curated by Jose Manuel Costa, the show aims to provide spectators with the opportunity to learn more about the complexity of sound art and its multiple forms through the work created by different national and international artists over the course of the last decade. SOUnd ART is therefore not just an exhibition - it is also a festival of sound performance, including film screenings, music, radio, workshops and other such activities. The exhibition proper will be held in various spaces at La Casa Encendida (exhibition halls, staircases, terrace, tower and clock), as well as in the gardens adjacent to the old observatory near Atocha and in a variety of urban spaces in the vicinity of La Casa Encendida.

Ciertas visiones dominantes sobre las vanguardias soviéticas han sofocado su carácter de acontecimiento en el devenir de la historia del arte y también de la política; y han obviado la gran resonancia que dicho acontecimiento ha tenido en la busqueda de una politicidad del arte. Este libro trata de pensar la actualidad de determinados debates, habidos en el seno del arte sovietico revolucionario, en un doble sentido: ¿de que manera la onda expansiva de aquel acontecimiento reverbera aun hoy?, y tambien, ¿bajo que formas es posible apropiarse de algunos de sus procedimientos, modelos y herramientas?
