"Inner Spectators" What is the purpose of an exhibition?

For Alelí Mirelman, 2011 ©

Lately I'm watching that are flourishing exhibition projects that, justified as "cultural production" relegate an entire exhibition to an artist production.

One solution taken by public policy bodies, which overlook the professionalism of the sector and interdisciplinary artist squeezes. With a mask contest worthy of the artist is required to know budgeting, coordinating installation and removal, writing educational articles, press call, and so on. ... A stylish way save personal and cultural budget. Conversely artists resolve this situation by reducing forces and raise their fees.

This painful situation reflects poor management and standard of public political bodies. Finally, the losers are the viewers who watch an inexorable decline of the quality of public cultural production. That is why I invite you to exercise critical thinking and dissent as a necessary condition to promote those practices that operate counter to the current forms of governance (1).

is why I want to mention the project "Inners specators" Carles Gispert. Winner of the second year of Project of Capella He produced "in Palma de Mallorca promoted by the Consell de Mallorca, which will be presented from May 26 to June 23, 2011. This exhibition is an example of social and cultural commitment, and explain why.

Let the viewer, the viewer and expectations. Who's who?

Often the artist is often used as a reference of the social subject that is expressed on behalf of the population as an iceberg. How we need to continue identifying ourselves on the other to recognize what is in yourself?

Increasingly we find works of art that remind us to "ourselves", leaving us alone ante espejos que nos devuelven continuamente a nuestra incerteza. Según Lord Cultural Resources(2), las exposiciones han cambiado mucho las últimas décadas. Consideradas medios de comunicación, plantean una interacción con el público para crear, confirmar o cuestionar ideas del dominio público sobre estos objetos”

¿Por qué las exposiciones han pasado de centrarse en los objetos para centrarse en el visitante? ¿Cuál es el objetivo de una exposición?

Desde que el éxito se mide por el número de asistentes, “el espectador” ha ocupado la preocupación de los organizadores de las exposiciones. Es allí donde los intereses entre institución y artist crossing to achieve mass support.

Despite those circumstances, the artist proposes an exception. Carles Gispert Icouldbeyou.com under the pseudonym of exploiting a vein of freedom generated by the dispersal of institutions to make a risky proposition for the context that houses it.

Understanding the exhibition as a whole, it poses a facility filled with furniture and fetish objects-where the public can travel, gossip, use and contribute. Since

sub-project as there is a public call for a person to provide personal content to the exhibit. This simple fact mystical aims to break the distance of the creator and the "public", engage the viewer and question the exhibition space profitable in a space where the viewer can be displayed symbolically.

The facility will consist of two important elements, the first is the presence of performers every day. Including these as an element of exposure invigorate the space with his presence, and everyday living.

The second element is the piece that integrates the entire conceptual frame. It consists of a video developed from the collaboration with the performer who lives in Madrid and poet Gabriela Solini Biel Mesquida.

This captivating project is an unusual proposal in Mallorca an opportunity to see a different way and close everyday. An invitation to society to make use of the spaces of political and emotional debate. Accountability and social commitment of the exhibition spaces.
