EXPOGRAPHY
“EXPOGRAPHY is the physical-mental-time space in which the fact of seeing and the fact of being seen converge: what we are and what we experience when looking, what we are and what we experience when we are looked at, and what vision is in itself, as something half way between the capacity of the viewer and what emanates from the viewed object.

DOROPAEDIA#8 PROCOMÚN
Este número versó en torno al procomún (traducción al castellano del concepto jurídico-filosófico anglosajón commons), concepto que designa todos aquellos bienes cuya propiedad no se encuentra en manos privadas. El procomún legisla y determina todos aquellos bienes que pueden ser libremente utilizados por todos los miembros de comunidades dadas. Pueden ser parte del procomún tanto entes tangibles (bosques, plazas…) como bienes intangibles (composiciones musicales, diseños…), entes sociales (democracia), naturales (fondos marinos) o culturales (idiomas), siempre y cuando la gestión de los mismos sea pública y colectiva.
DOROPAEDIA#10 SILENCIO
Silence is a polysemy concept that can be used to describe different situations in different contexts. The idea of silence encompasses both literal and symbolical lack of sound in which poetic images, theories and historical analysis on social phenomena, spiritual processes or personal pacts can take part. Silence can be a communicative resource or a musical measure, but what does it happens when silence comes from a society in conflict?
Georg Simmel's sentence "Knowing who you're dealing with is the first condition for the deal to be possible" serves as the starting point of this reading group, and it inspires a debate about the different agreements, contracts and relationships that accompany and define our everyday life. Contracts, whether explicit or latent, configure the different ways of doing, but always under minimum conditions: the first of them being among whom is the pact established; the second, how is the agreement reached; and the third, what does it cover.
In CA2M library we want to invite all writers, theorists, historians and artists to share and experiment the fascination fostered by artistic writing. For six sessions we will write using artistic projects as a starting point, and we will learn the strategies used by different creators.
