The theme “2011: A Year Full of Doubts” is presiding over the publishing of issue 56 of EXIT EXPRESS, the Spanish magazine on art information and debate.
The motif –as definite as it gets- comes in full support of a better cultural offer this year at all major Spanish centers and museums, an intention of putting alternatives and calling on the need to let go of fears.
In “Interviews”, the Jane and Louise Wilson twins, based on their latest retrospective exhibit, speak of their work as a couple and their understanding of creation, a work teeming with both highly esthetic and theoretical values. Through their twenty years of artistic career, the Wilson twins have joined hands to come up with a hypnotic and nostalgic narration capable of getting ingrained in our eyes.
The “Expositions” section reviews Against Violence (Koldo Mitxelena, San Sebastian); Are you ready for TV? (MACBA, Barcelona); Living the world poetically (LAM, Villeneuve-d'Ascq); Pictures by Women (MoMA, New York); Anonymes (Le Bal, Paris), and the latest edition of the AcciónMAD performance festival held in the Spanish capital.
In “Profiles”, the publication delves into the work and career of artists Juan Suarez, Laura Gonzalez Cabrera, Maria Zarraga, Almale Bondia, Stefam Benchoam, Jean-Pascal Flavien, Roman Ondak, Hajnal Nemeth, Petra Bauer, Cornelia Parker, Hito Steyerl, Eberhard Havekost, Miranda July and Sylvia Sleigh.
The magazine issue comes out with its traditional “Zona Cero” column that looks into the importance of architecture in Francisco de Goya’s work in the wake of the publishing of the book entitled Fantasy and Reason, by Ricardo Uson.
“Market” takes a look at the results of a the latest auctions of contemporary art; “Original Version” dedicates a glimpse at the latest additions made by Woody Allen on the eve of his 75th birthday, while “Grafistmos”, a section dedicated to comics and illustrations, unearths the works of Spadari and Cotta.
