La teoría corre paralela a la crítica. de la misma manera que la crítica corre paralela al arte. La historia y la cultura son el continuo sobre el cual descansan estos paralelos. El arte no es teoría. y la teoría no es crítica. si bien incesantemente una recurre a la otra. ¿Dónde estamos. entonces. con respecto a llevar la experiencia a la literatura crítica? El verdadero trabajo del crítico es inventar un lenguaje -un metalenguaje. si se quiere- que reinvente la significación cualitativa en relación con la experiencia del crítico con el objeto de arte. El discurso actual del mundo del arte -de cualquier manera que sea percibido. y en cualquier momento dado- no puede sustituir una experiencia directa de la obra de arte.Simplemente. la experiencia de la obra de arte es el ingrediente fundamental en la respuesta crítica. la base de toda interpretación auténtica.

Este libro traza las intersecciones históricas, visuales y conceptuales entre la creación artística de Damián Ortega y el estridentismo, movimiento cultural de la vanguardia en el México de los años 20 del siglo pasado, generando un dialogo productivo sobre las condiciones actuales de la modernidad mexicana.El estridentismo, un movimiento cultural de vanguardia (c. 1921) que unio a artistas y escritores en una busqueda de innovacion artistica y reforma social, se encarno en un lugar ideal pero incompleto llamado Estridentopolis. Un siglo despues, Damian Ortega (n. 1967) creo su propia Estridentopolis (2019), una ciudad a pequeña escala poblada por torres con cuerpos de rascacielos y cabezas de animales, junto con prendas de trabajadores incorporeas y collages arrugados y estampados hechos de bolsas de cemento comerciales reutilizadas.

An anthology of compelling essays by Marina Warner one of our pre eminent writers and critics Art writing at its most useful should share the dynamism fluidity and passions of the objects of its enquiry argues Marina Warner In this new anthology of some of her most compelling work she captures the visual experience of the work of several artists with a notable focus on the inner lives of women through an exploration of the range of stories and symbols to which they allude Metamorphosis features vividly in the imagery stories and media of the art that Warner has chosen to write about in connection with animals in the work of Louise Bourgeois for instance with the Catholicism of Damien Hirst and with performance as a medium of memory and resistance in the installations of Joan Jonas Rather than drawing on connoisseurship the author s approach grows principally out of anthropology and mythology She argues that art and aesthetics increasingly fulfil a magical social function a principle that runs through these writings to give the collection a quality that is polemical as well as coherent With an introductory essay and illustrations throughout Marina Warner investigates how artists noted for their treatment of disturbing uncanny material have reache

Tres cuestiones me hicieron reflexionar: la permanente constancia de la avaricia humana, capaz de destruir cualquier cosa que se le ponga por delante en aras de posesiones materiales, la eficiencia de la ingenieria romana, insuperable en su epoca como muestra tambien sin ir mas lejos el Acueducto de Segovia y la fuerza de la naturaleza para renacer de tantos abusos, en este caso repoblandose con su fauna y flora y regalandonos de propina un paisaje que no parece terrestre, pues resulta misterioso e inquietante como si formara parte de otro planeta.

War damages democracy and justice, as well as corrupting memory; it is the norm amidst the growing deregulation inherent to todays world of contemporary globalisation. Among other effects, it fuels anachronistic cultural structures, like the patriarchy, and opens up scenes of devastation, such as humanitarian crises.War has profound and traumatic repercussions on all levels, yet it is a place that fascinates people. It is governed by ambivalence and there is no easy way to leave it behind. Given this panorama, the question is: why war?This publication brings together reflections from a group of authors on wars and the wounds it inflicts on people, spaces and landscapes. At the same time, it showcases the contemporary art pieces displayed during the exhibition Why War? at El Born CCM from 15 March to 29 September 2024, which interrogate the multifaceted phenomenon of war and, through different aesthetic experiences, propose an opening of spaces of clarity and thought that question the persistence of military violence.
