Antonio Collados has sent us this link to the minutes of the third meeting of the
Association of Directors of Contemporary Art of Spain (ADACE)
held in November 2013 at the
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS)
and which was entitled The museum in the future. Crossroads and deviations .
Invited to participate in the meeting, Antonio organized a text-interview, in which we and the people from the
Fundación Cerezales Antonino y Cinia
participated, which you can read towards the end of the document and which he titled—not without a polemical intention—: Empty Boxes and Full Squares: new scenarios of cultural production.
The purpose of this conversation was to reflect on initiatives that, in Antonio’s words: “in various ways, are developing spaces and scenes that I consider significant for thinking about the future of the public artistic institution and its intersections with society” and that “may point to eccentric deviations from official cultural policies and in which we recognize critical alternatives to traditional modes of cultural organization and production” You bet!
In the document, edited by the directors of the meeting themselves: Ferran Barenblit, Nuria Enguita Mayo and Yolanda Romero, you will also find texts by people like: Boris Groys, Stephen Wright, Manuel Borja-Villel, Daniel García Andújar and many more, including
Javier Rodrigo
(who forms
TRANSDUCTORES
together with Antonio Collados himself).
