El relato visual de Liza Ambrossio (Ciudad de México, 1993) arranca en la adolescencia con la huida de su casa familiar y el infantil, perverso y a su vez instintivo deseo de supervivencia al invocar la muerte de sus progenitores antes que permitir el feminicidio o la desaparicion de ella misma en un pais, una educacion y una cultura profundamente conservadora, religiosa, elitista, desestructurada y machista. Su violento exilio dispara una investigacion sobre la supervivencia, la locura propia y ajena, la libertad, la responsabilidad y la muerte, invitandonos a un viaje ?mental y real?, a traves de sus obras. El camino recorrido por la artista genera historias entrelazadas que rompen la cotidianidad banal y frivola para poner el foco en cuestiones inconfesables, en acciones surrealistas, en extremos actos de deseo, de justicia simbolica o en fetichismos macabros. Toda imagen para Ambrossio se convierte asi en señuelo y delirio. La presente publicacion recoge cerca de 80 textos escritos como resultado de la libre asociacion de ideas a partir de las imagenes de Liza Ambrossio, elaborados por los tres comisarios que mas estrechamente han trabajado con ella en las diferentes etapas de su carrera: Javier Martin-Jimenez (España), Cuauhtemoc Medina (Mexico) y Arianna Rinaldo (Italia).

No debemos dar por concluida Tindaya, porque Tindaya sigue viva en la Historia malograda de Canarias en relación con el arte más ambicioso y con su muy presumible logro de haber podido ser cumbre en las referencias artisticas de vanguardia mas potentes del mundo. Por eso, hundido el proyecto de Tindaya, aun podriamos dar juego a reflexiones sobre su consumacion virtual, con los efectos esteticos, artisticos, antropologicos, buscados; movernos, pues, con intenciones contrafactuales, y la oportunidad de dar cancha a algo tan en boga como los hechos alternativos; o buscar apoyo en los delirios de la ucronia, que, posible mente, sea la forma de poder llegar al corazon del proyecto. Finalmente, ha resultado una magnifica ficcion.

The first monograph of Chicago-based Theaster Gates, one of the most exciting and highly regarded contemporary artists at work today. Theaster Gates has developed an expanded artistic practice that includes space development, object making, performance and critical engagement with many publics. Gates transforms spaces, institutions, traditions, and perceptions. Gates's training as an urban planner and sculptor, and subsequent time spent studying clay, has given him keen awareness of the poetics of production and systems of organizing. Playing with these poetic and systematic interests, Gates has assembled gospel choirs, formed temporary unions, and used systems of mass production as a way of underscoring the need that industry has for the body. Gates refers to his working method as 'critique through collaboration' and his projects often stretch the form of what we usually understand visual art to be. His focus is also on the availability of information and the cross-fertilization of ideas. His multi-faceted exhibitions investigate themes of race and history through sculpture, installation, performance and two-dimensional works, furthering the artist's interest in a critique of social practice, shared economies and the question of objects in relation to political and cultural thought. Gates' recent exhibition and performance venues include the Seattle Art Museum, Art Basel Miami Beach, Milwaukee Art Museum, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, and the Whitney Biennial in New York. Gates was a participating artist in Documenta 13 in Kassel (2012) with his total-living installation 12 Ballads for Huguenot House. Other notable solo exhibitions include An Epitaph for Civil Rights at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (2011) and My Labor Is My Protest, at White Cube Bermondsey, London (2012). Parallel to his artist career, Gates is also Director of Arts and Public Life Initiative at the University of Chicago and a board member of the city's South Side Community Center. Recently commissioned as the 2012 Armory Show Artist and a Loeb Fellow at Harvard Graduate School of Design in 2011, Gates has received awards and grants from Creative Capital, the Joyce Foundation, Graham Foundation, and the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art.

Since its genesis on the East Coast of the United States in the late 1960s, street art has travelled to nearly every corner of the globe, morphing into highly ornate and vibrant new styles. From Steve Powers (Espo) in New York to Kid Zoom in Australia, taking in Banksy's London, Paris as transfigured by Honet and OX, and the gargantuan murals of the Brazilian twins 'Os Gemeos', The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti is the first truly geographical history of the form. Featuring specially commissioned works from major graffiti and street art practitioners, The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti offers the reader an insider's view of the urban landscape as the artists themselves experience it. This beautifully illustrated book, produced with the help of many of the artists it features, dispels the idea of such art as a thoughtless defacement of pristine surfaces, and instead celebrates it as a contemporary and highly creative inscription upon the skin of the built environment. Organized geographically, by continent and by city - from New York, Los Angeles and Montreal in North America, through Mexico City and Buenos Aires in Latin America, to London, Berlin and Madrid in Europe, as well as Sydney and Tokyo in the Pacific - it profiles more than 100 of today's most important artists and features over 700 astonishing artworks.
