What would be your private life cheat sheet today? The art of action in the Macba Collection: Valcárcel medina
More interested in the process than the end result, the conceptual proposals of Isidoro Valcárcel Medina delve into the poetry of the everyday. A contraption as basic and universal as crib notes for cheating in school exams becomes a device of reflection on the creative act. If in childhood and adolescence, the intimate gesture of elaborating this secret object required a capacity for synthesis and compilation of information, Valcárcel Medina uses it to condense and verbalise his radical approach to artistic practice, a practice that he does not conceive isolated from life. You can “read” his work in the exhibition Action: A provisional history of the 90s.
