NARRATIVES: FROM META-STORIES TO POSTART

The rise of the philosophy of language in the middle of the last century impacted all areas of humanistic culture, especially theoretical thought and the arts. The notions of discourse, story and narrative are part of that linguistic turn in which culture is perceived as a text. This approach has also influenced the conceptualization, appreciation and evaluation of the visual arts, even in the face of the programmatic reluctance of art-purism and its rejection of the anecdotal. Basically, the discursive subjects, the story and the narration displaced the old leading role of the "retinal" aesthetics. Since then, a large part of the artistic questions are aired in the verbal sphere and not in the strictly sensible plane.

SLEEPING EMBAR - 37TH PANORAMA OF BRAZILIAN ART

Somewhat fused forms, in a dismantling that seems continuous, signaling a kind of tired geometry. The banal brilliance of a chromatic automotive cover in what could have been the label of a crumbling and volatile language typical of large urban agglomerations, in a tenuous cross between street art and graffiti.

LUCIANA BRITO GALERIA: NEVER-BEFORE-SHOWN SERIES BY GERALDO DE BARROS

Geraldo de Barros is, without a doubt, one of the Brazilian artists most studied by contempora- neity. Over the course of his artistic career he pioneered the path of multidisciplinarity, develop- ing his work consistent with not only his own research, but also with the Brazilian political and social contexts and with Brazilian art history. To celebrate these historical developments, the Ar- quivo Geraldo de Barros and Luciana Brito Galeria are presenting the exhibition Objetos-Forma [Objects-Form], which features never-before-shown works that recover a fundamental moment in Geraldo de Barros’s career. The show opens on August 9 and occupies all the gallery’s exhibi- tion spaces.

AL DÍA (WITH ART)

I ask myself what it means to be Al día (up to date) with art, when it has already been decreed that we live in posthistory and that the present is now postpresent. The question I propose is not theoretical, but of a practical nature, since many decisions depend on its answer: which exhibitions to visit? what works to see? which artists to recommend? With these initial questions come others, also important, although not easy to answer: how much information is needed to be up to date? where can you get up-to-date information? Who has the news of the day?

‘EL CHICO' LABORATORY OF THE NEW GENERATION - INTERVIEW WITH JAVIER APARICIO

Located on the border between La Latina and Embajadores neighbourhoods, inside a 60’s trade complex, El Chico is one of the main spaces of the emerging scene that is occupying Madrid’s centre. Space is just a general and practical nomenclature. Founder and director Javier Aparicio (Mexico 1985) explains that the limits of this project are not that important, but if we insist on defining it: "El Chico is, for now, a Podcast with a space," he explains. "The podcast has become an approximation tool for visitors.”

THE PERIPHERY OF THE AGONY: TERESA MARGOLLES

Mexican artist, Teresa Margolles, transfers the space of death to the sphere of art, a metaphor par excellence of the border, of a limit that paradoxically is reached only when we are no longer and, therefore, we will no longer be able to tell it. An attempt to counter addiction and impotence in the face of daily tragedies such as gender violence or the exploitation of illegal immigration, caused by the inaction of governments and by a melodramatic or sensationalistic media exploitation.
