Kosuth, JosephInstalación de Joseph Kosuth en la fachada de La Casa Encendida de Madrid, en febrero del 2008. Catálogo compuesto por dos tomos: -"Al fin creí entender (Madrid)" proyectos arquitectónicos y obras publicas -Located work (Madrid) Joseph Kosuth presenta por primera vez en Madrid una de sus instalaciones artisticas, obra que podria ser la primera de una nueva serie a desarrollar por todo el mundo. Este proyecto especifico, creado para la ocasion, consiste en la instalacion de una serie de textos luminosos, fragmentos escogidos de autores latinoamericanos como Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar o Juan Carlos Onetti. Paralelamente a la instalacion de la fachada, Joseph Kosuth presenta el proyecto de colaboracion Located Work con los artistas Mario Aguirre, Alexander Apostol, Busto Bocanegra, Sandra Gamarra, Hisae Ikenaga y Ximena Labra. Kosuth les propone idear una obra para que otro de los artistas seleccionados la lleve a cabo.

This is the plentiful bibliography on Joseph Kosuth, and his many texts, coupled with his scepticism about the contribution of historians and critics when it comes to laying down the theoretical foundations of art creation, defy the publication of new texts. Conceptual art ''says Kosuth'' is much more than a style or an ism, and by the very nature of its discursive project, one of its main purposes is to highlight the responsibility of the contemporary artist as a producer of ideas. In 2007 Kosuth realized four installations, specifically conceived and produced for CAAM in two of it''s exhibition spaces and in two of the city''s museums: Casa Colon and the Museum Canario. It was a question of one of the most outstanding interventions by Joseph Kosuth in Spain, who hadn''t exhibited in Spain since 1995, and of which CAAM published this bilingual monographic catalogue including graphic and theoretic documents.
