On the eve of the Women’s Day manifestations of 2021, the Mexican government erected metal barricades surrounding the National Palace—the seat of federal executive power—in the heart of Mexico City. This was meant to prevent damage by demonstrators and, therefore, “protect the heritage of all Mexicans and avoid confrontation...a wall of peace that guarantees liberty and protection from provocations,” in the words of the President's spokesman.
On Saturday, March 6, the feminist collective Antimonumenta CDMX decided to paint the barricades with the names of recent victims of femicide in Mexico. Over the next few hours, hundreds of women spontaneously gathered to honor the absent women, writing their names and leaving flowers: an offering to remember them, to not forget, and, by doing so, to honor them.
This series of photographs documents the barricades that were intervened in those days so that they may still be read.
An homage, a scream of rebellion in the face of indifference and obsoletion.
En vísperas de las manifestaciones por el Día Internacional de la Mujer del año 2021, el gobierno de México decidió amurallar con vallas metálicas el Palacio Nacional —sede del poder ejecutivo federal— en el corazón de la Ciudad de México, para evitar que las manifestantes pudieran dañarlo y así “cuidar el patrimonio de todos los mexicanos y evitar la
confrontación... un muro de paz que garantiza la libertad y protege de provocaciones”, en palabras del vocero de la Presidencia de la República.
El día sábado 6 de marzo, la colectiva feminista Antimonumenta CDMX decidió intervenir esas vallas con los nombres de víctimas recientes de feminicidio en México. Durante las siguientes horas cientos de mujeres acudieron de manera espontánea a honrar a las ausentes, escribiendo sus nombres y dejando flores: una ofrenda para recordarlas, para no olvidarlas y, de esta manera, honrarlas.
Esta serie de fotografías documentan las vallas que fueron intervenidas durante esos días para que sigan siendo leídas.
Un homenaje, un grito de rebeldía ante la indiferencia y el olvido.

A language is a mountain.
A drilled land is a language that lets itself be spoken. How does the void of a mountain that is no longer sound? What sound does a system makes while it is destroyed? What happens with the languages that are no longer spoken, with the things that it stops naming and the silences it leaves behind?
The immense and intense extractive activity has left us landscapes of holes, sinkholes, and mountains of materials, extracted by extreme force and turned into garbage... Voids abandoned and species that emerge from the detritus, resisting our perception and existing there.
Arturo Hernández Alcázar invites us to reflect on the dispossession and the remains of the languages that we no longer speak and that are probably the languages of the future.
Una lengua es una montaña.
Una tierra horadada es una lengua que deja hablarse. ¿Cómo suena el hueco de una montaña que ya no está?, ¿cómo suena un sistema mientras se destruye?, ¿qué pasa con las lenguas que ya no se hablan, con las cosas que ya no nombra o los silencios que deja?
La inmensa e intensa actividad extractiva nos ha dejado paisajes de agujeros, socavones y montañas de materiales, extraídos al vómito y convertidos en basura. Vacíos dejados, especies que surgen del detrito, que resisten, existen y que, aunque no lo percibamos, son.
Arturo Hernández Alcázar nos invita a reflexionar acerca del despojo y los restos de las lenguas que ya no hablamos y que probablemente sean las lenguas del futuro.

“I began to draw the nine sheets
that make up this volume wondering what links could exist between text and fossil; between punctuation and sediment; between the structure
of a book and that of the ground. The Anaximenes sentence that
gives it its title (taken from a fairly free translation) gave me a clue:
if the earth is flat like a leaf, each tabloid could contain vestiges,
rocks, mineral particles; and, when folding them into themselves to form booklets, accumulating layers. All these sheets of paper, as well as
the superimposed lines, propose a kind of manuscript of the earth; a palimpsest of landscapes in which each image forms a vocabulary that comes from treatises and magazines on paleontology and geology from different periods in time.”
“Comencé a dibujar los nueve
pliegos que componen este volumen preguntándome qué vínculos podrían existir entre texto y fósil; entre puntuación y sedimento; entre la estructura de un libro y la del suelo.
La frase de Anaxímenes que le da título (tomada de una traducción bastante libre) me dio una pista: si
la tierra es plana como una hoja,
cada tabloide podía contener algún vestigio, rocas, partículas de mineral; y, al doblarlos sobre sí mismos para formar cuadernillos, también se irían acumulando en posibles estratos. Todas estas capas de papel, así como los trazos superpuestos, proponen una especie de manuscrito de la tierra; un paisaje palimpsesto en el que cada imagen conforma un vocabulario que proviene de tratados y revistas de paleontología y geología de distintas épocas.”

For this artist’ book, Betzamee used as background a book about Andy Warhol, covering its pages with white paint in order to re-write it. She took words that have a masculine grammatical gender and modified them, transforming them to female by switching the “O” to “A”. The words, by being pronounced in female, enter the social and cultural imaginary, opening up a discussion surrounding the idea of enunciating the world in female.
Para esta libra de artista, Betzamee utilizó como soporte un libro sobre Andy Warhol, cubriendo sus páginas con pintura blanca para (re)escribirlo. Tomó palabras que tienen un género gramatical masculino y las modificó para que tuvieran un género femenino (cambiando “O” por “A”).Las palabras, al ser nombradas en femenino, entran en el imaginario social y cultural, poniendo en discusión la idea de enunciar al mundo en femenino.

Un Cachondeo Tirano comes out of Anais Vasconcelos personal diaries and work logs, proposing a form of self-knowledge that also functions as a methodology of her plastic research. Through her records, the artist dissolves the limits between private and professional life, achieving a unification between piece, archive and process. The images contained in this edition aren’t flat documents; they have a live body in constant transformation. In them, various dimensions, materials and spatialities, that have been reinterpreted to a editorial format, coexist together

“On December 8, 2017, in the La Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires, the police officer Luis Chocobar murdered Juan Pablo Kukoc, an 18-year-old boy who had just stolen a camera from an American tourist. Since then, the State and the hegemonic media endorse Chocobar as a hero, and the repressive policy of the Macri government was renamed the Chocobar Doctrine.Walking through La Boca I met Ivonne, Juan Pablo’s mother. We meet one afternoon and had some Coca con medialunas. We made a book together: She spoke to me and I wrote very quickly everything she told me. Every time she breathed I wrote the next line. From that manuscript we made a fanzine that is already circulating. Against the story of state and media power, the voice of a woman sitting next to her daughter in the kitchen of her tin house.Esteban Rodriguez Alzueta, Luci Cavallero, Verónica Gago, Ileana Arduino, Dana Rosenzvit, La Negra Quinto and the Lost Toys Collective participate in this book.”

John Komurki’s Wörterbuch comprises a series of sparse and enigmatic texts. Resembling poetry, they are in fact abstracted from a multilingual dictionary published in Germany in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Excavated in this way from their their original context, these texts become a meditation on the ravages of war, and in particular, its impact on civilian populations; as well as a reflection on the ways in which violence deforms language.
Llena de atisbos de belleza raros e inesperados asomándose entre las ruinas, la obra de John Komurki, Wörterbuch, trata de una serie de textos abstractos y enigmáticos, dispersos, parecidos a la poesía y extraídos de un diccionario multilingüe publicado en Alemania inmediatamente después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Excavados así de su contexto original, estos textos se convierten en una meditación sobre los estragos de la guerra y, en particular, su impacto en la población civil; así como una reflexión sobre los modos en los que la violencia deforma al lenguaje.

With this publication, Barbara Foulkes opens up a conversation about the care and work surrounding the body in our culture. Using as raw material the experience of her body through its trajectory as an artist, choreographer and dancer, she invites us to measure, think and feel the questions that she asks herself, based on her experience working in a contemporary art museum, concerning the relationship between the systems of care and control that permeate the majority of exhibitions.

Chasing the ghost, the traces of oblivion, and the echoes of what was and no longer is, the book Omen is a revision and reframing of the fraction of the photographic archive of the Farm Security Administration (1935-1944) hosted at the New York Public Library. That program—perhaps there is no need to add—was one of the milestones of modern documentary photography, instrumental on the constructing an hegemonic narrative; one mainly about triumph against adversity, division, and catastrophe in the recent history of the United States.
But by stressing the gaze over that monumental set of images, and scrutinizing at the corners of the pictures, at the backgrounds and details—in the secondary characters, in what should not be there, that which appears by chance, accident or error— it is possible to discover a different narrative, one that is thicker, murkier, more troubled, complex, contemporary and contradictory. Both a shatter and an apex: a premonition of the genealogical continuity of the many (tumultuous, visible and invisible, thunderous and silent) systemic violences that make up the face of American society.
A book that serves as a mirror of the distressing reality of theUnited States in our days, and, a the same time, as a device for reflection on the way historical and documentary photography is read and understood, taking the editorial eye to its ultimate consequences.
Persiguiendo al fantasma, las huellas del olvido y los ecos de lo que fue y ya no es, Omen es una revisión y reencuadre de una fracción del archivo fotográfico de la Farm Security Administration (1935-1944) alojado en la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York. Ese programa fue uno de los hitos de la fotografía documental moderna y fue fundamental en la construcción de una narrativa hegemónica —principalmente sobre el triunfo contra la adversidad, la división y la catástrofe— de la historia reciente de los Estados Unidos y su orden social.
Pero enfatizando la mirada sobre ese monumental conjunto de imágenes y escudriñando las esquinas de los cuadros, los fondos y los detalles—en los personajes secundarios, en lo que no debería estar, en lo que aparece por casualidad, accidente o error—es posible descubrir una narrativa diferente: una más espesa, turbia, turbulenta, compleja, contemporánea y contradictoria. Como un estallido y un ápice: una premonición de la continuidad genealógica de las violencias sistémicas múltiples, tumultuosas, visibles e invisibles, atronadoras y silenciosas que conforman el rostro de la sociedad estadounidense.
Un libro que a la vez sirve de espejo de la angustiosa realidad de Estados Unidos de nuestros días, y de dispositivo de reflexión sobre la forma en que se lee y se entiende la fotografía histórica y documental, llevando la mirada editorial a sus últimas consecuencias.

She enjoys the gift of attraction: scenes, contexts, meninas, eras, cats... All gravitate towards her.

“It was for the sake of the protection of content tropicalization, so in vogue throughout the seventies (not so much in terms of appropriation, as of revalidation as a place in the world) and, following the traffic policies and representation of the word as a place, or better yet, as a non-place, that I put to work the construction, or destruction, or even better, de-construction of Ladera Este by Octavio Paz. Thinking of France, the other English, and national diplomacy, the last vestige of the great internationalist illusion sold by the gringos as a result of the bomb, of which we became an extension for better or worse, during a postwar that spread as butter on bread until the sixties. This is the book of an illustrated tourist, a version that extends his submission to the submission of the one next to him: it’s not Rudyard Kipling, but it is as if it were. It´s not coming only from France, but rather from the Mexico that comes from France, seeing the correspondence between two worlds, in which it shines as a satellite of privilege appropriating the other.”
“Fue al amparo de la tropicalización de contenidos, tan en boga en los años sesenta (no tanto en términos de apropiación como de revalidación como lugar en el mundo) y, siguiendo las políticas del tráfico y representación dela palabra como lugar, o mejor aún, como no lugar, que puse manos a la obra para la construcción o destrucción o mejor, deconstrucción de Ladera Este de Octavio Paz. Pensando la Francia, el inglés, pero otro, y la diplomacia nacional, el último vestigio de la gran ilusión internacionalista vendida por los gringos a raíz de la bomba, de la que nos convertimos para bien o para mal en una extensión, y que durante una post-guerra que se extendió como mantequilla sobre el pan hasta los años sesenta. Se trata del libro de un turista ilustrado, una versión que extiende su sometimiento al sometimiento del de junto: no es Rudyard Kipling, pero como si lo fuera. No sólo viene de la Francia sino del México que viene de la Francia, viendo las correspondencias entre dos mundos en los que brilla como satélite de privilegio, apropiándose del otro.”

Guided by their reflections on historiography and sexuality, proposed as an experimental jewelry fantasy, artists Berke Gold and Isaac Olvera created a visual and written essay surrounding their casual drifting and coexisting in Nuevo León –a northern state with one of the biggest GDP in Mexico.
Mugres Regias accompanies a set of sticky finger sculptures worn by the artists to collect debris and filth from the environment during their drifts, functioning as a metaphor to Jewish literary traditions, and working as a compositional resource that was utilized directly on the risograph plate.
Guiades por la fantasía de la joyería experimental, la reflexión sobre la sexualidad y la historiografía, les artistes Berke Gold e Isaac Olvera proponen un relato visual y escrito, en torno a sus casuales derivas y convivencias en Nuevo León.
Mugres Regias acompaña a un conjunto de esculturas para los dedos de la mano, que en todo momento fueron empleadas para recolectar detritos del medio ambiente, debido a su pegajosa superficie. Con ellas vinculan las derivas a tradiciones literarias del judaísmo y fueron empleadas para realizar las imágenes impresas en el libro, directamente desde la plancha de la máquina risográfica.

Between 2017 and 2020, the Aeromoto public arts library in Mexico City organized a monthly series of bilingual readings. The gatherings, called Salón de belleza (Beauty Salon), brought together more than 70 poets and writers from many generations, contexts, and traditions, predominantly from Mexico and the United States, but also from various parts of Latin America and Europe. In these events, translation was used to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps between poets separated by political borders, and helped to create a space in which literatures of different origins and approaches could coexist. The result of this collective initiative was a unique cross-section of some of the most intriguing writing taking place in the Americas during the second decade of this century. Salones de belleza: Writers in Aeromoto gathers work from these writers—in a completely bilingual edition—many of whom are appearing in translation for the first time.
Entre 2017 y 2020, la biblioteca pública Aeromoto en la Ciudad de México organizó una serie de lecturas bilingües. Los encuentros, llamados Salón de belleza, reunieron a más de 70 poetas y escritores de diversas generaciones, contextos y tradiciones, casi todos de México y de los Estados Unidos, aunque también de varias partes de América Latina y Europa. En las lecturas, la traducción se utilizó para zanjar las brechas lingüísticas y culturales entre poetas separados por fronteras políticas y para establecer un espacio donde las literaturas de diversos orígenes y estéticas pudieran coexistir. El resultado de esta colaboración fue una muestra representativa de algunas de las expresiones literarias más intrigantes que han tenido lugar en América durante la segunda década de este siglo. Salones de belleza: escritores en Aeromoto reúne, en una edición totalmente bilingüe, el trabajo de estos escritores, muchos de los cuales aparecen en traducción por primera vez.

Monoblock, Poems and texts without eloquence by Juan José Gurrola constitutes the first installment of a series of five volumes that will compile a selection of the poetic production of Gurrola. Although his contributions to the dramatic world are widely recognized, his poetic work has been little investigated and little disseminated, despite being vast and prolific.

Aunque sus contribuciones al mundo dramático son ampliamente reconocidas, su obra poética ha sido poco investigada y poco difundida, a pesar de ser vasta y prolífica.

Translatedby Javier Arango
In Pleasures, Mario Bellatin interweaves fiction and poetry; mysticism and corporeality; death and the pristine; visceral and surreal.
Through a narrative that emerges from a sea of images, the book explores a spotless world inhabited by death and dominated by liquids, where cleanliness reigns supreme.
A young philosopher in search of a sacred dog; a school where children attend to die; Boris, the pedagogue, and Virginia, the teacher; a tour guide who steals from her clients; a paraplegic dog trainer devoured by his subjects...
From the depths of its reality, Pleasures investigates the necessity to write, and the possibility of redeeming the world with a new form of script.
With his masterful touch, Bellatin builds a literary universe that is both connected to his previous work and radically original.

Fotografías de Alice Zukofsky
En Placeres, Mario Bellatin entrelaza ficción y poesía; misticismo y corporeidad; la muerte y la pulcritud; tanto visceral como surreal, Placeres explora un mundo habitado por la muerte; un mundo impecable, dominado por lo líquido, donde la limpidez es suprema.
Del mar de imágenes surgenhilos narrativos- —un joven filósofo en búsqueda de un perro sagrado; el Pedagogo Boris y la Maestra Virginia, custodios de una escuela donde acuden los párvulos para morir; una guíaturística que se roba las pertenencias de sus clientes; un entrenador de perros parapléjico devorado por sussujetos…
Las identidades fluyen, las realidades se mezclan, las historias desaparecen y vuelven a aparecer.
En su fondo, Placeres investiga la necesidad de escribir y la posibilidad de una nueva escritura que pueda redimir a este mundo.
Con su toque magistral, Bellatin construye un universo literario, a la vez conectado a su obra previa y radicalmente original.

"Desde que, según dicen, la “palabra se liberó” —como si las mujeres hasta ahora hubiéramos sido extraños animales que no estábamos dotados de lenguaje y que hubiéramos aprendido a hablar de repente, váyase a saber por qué— los representantes del antiguo régimen sexual están nerviosos, tan nerviosos que ahora son ellos los que se van quedando sin palabras. Quizás por eso, los señores del patriarcado colonial han decidido echar mano de su libro de historia necropolítica para arrojarnos a la cara el insulto que —qué curiosa proximidad— siempre tienen más a la mano:
¡Nazis!"

"Ever since, or so they say, “language was liberated”—as if we women had always been strange animals unequipped with the faculty of speech and then we’d suddenly learned to talk; who knows why— the representatives of the old sexual regime have been nervous, so nervous that they’re the ones who are now being left at a loss for words. Perhaps that’s why the lords of the colonial patriarchy have turned to their book of necropolitical history for the insult they always have most readily at hand—what a curious proximity—so they can hurl it into our faces:
Nazi!"

Translated by Nayeli García
“I renounce those who hate women, who have contempt for women, who ridicule and demean women, and when I do, I renounce most of the art, masculinist art, ever made.”
“Renuncio a quienes odian a las mujeres; a quienes no las consideran; a quienes las ridiculizan y las desprecian; y cuando lo hago, renuncio a la mayor parte del arte que ha sido creado: un arte masculinista.”

On October 18, 2019, the Chilean people woke up and took to the streets to claim for 30 years of injustices and for profound changes to recover their dignity. The posters of this revolution begin to circulate around the world. Artists who have chosen anonymity to work today are mobilized for a change, printing and pasting their work in the streets of Chile. Today in our country printing is resisting.

Two chains of portraits that are read in the opposite direction; on the one hand, famous Mexicans who flood the press with their faces; on the other, portraits taken at random of countless disappeared in Mexico that flood their posters, posts and street walls. It seems that some are made to make others invisible.

“You make rock candy by super saturating boiling water with sugar, dropping a string into it, and letting it cool. This is what Jerónimo Rüedi (known best as a painter) has done in his books, but by dropping his mind into our world supersaturated with images and information. And instead of candy we get something sweeter than those crystals of pure sugar: books that —in how they shit on false prophets; in how they weaponize dark humor against globalism’s fatally accelerating greed; in how they damn the very foundations of how we make sense of our world— remind us to ground our lives in the parts of the world that haven’t been sold off yet, that still, in the face of it all, prioritize real attention. Colorless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously is a primer on how to break apart the platitudes of one’s time in order to piece them together again in a radically new vision, based on personal convictions rather than passive consumption.Whether you’re Steve Jobs or Aristotle, sleep with one eye open: you’re not making the sense you think you are.”
“Para hacer un caramelo de roca hay que sobresaturar agua hirviendo con azúcar, colocando una curda en ella y dejándola enfriar. Lo mismo hace Jerónimo Rüedi (mejor conocido como pintor) en sus libros, dejando caer su mente en nuestro mundo sobresaturado de imágenes e información, donde en lugar de caramelos obtenemos algo más dulce que esos cristales de azúcar pura: libros que –en cómo se cagan sobre los falsos profetas; en cómo utilizan el humor negro como arma contra la codicia fatalmente acelerada del globalismo; en cómo condenan los cimientos mismos sobre los cuales damos sentido al mundo– nos recuerdan que debemos basar nuestras vidas en las partes del mundo que aún no se han vendido. Colorless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously es una introducción a cómo romper las trivialidades del tiempo para reconstruirlas nuevamente en una visión radicalmente nueva, basada en convicciones personales más que en un consumo pasivo.”

Mother, We All Have Been Lonely and Lovely Places serves as a trajectory of personal history, narrating the various stages of female dependency in a patriarchal landscape. As the book intimately examines emotional and sexual behavioral patterns of relationships that (re)formulate in accordance to the inevitable process of aging, Lara Konrad invites us to witness adopted gender performativities within society, and gradually begin to notice the universal longing to unearth purpose in hopes of outgrowing human loneliness.
Mother, We All Have Been Lonely and Lovely Places sirve como una trayectoria de historia personal, que narra las distintas etapas de la dependencia femenina en un paisaje patriarcal. A medida que el libro examina íntimamente los patrones de comportamiento emocional y sexual delas relaciones que se (re) formulan de acuerdo con el inevitable proceso de envejecimiento, Lara Konrad nos invita a ser testigo de las performatividades de género adoptadas dentro de la sociedad, impulsándonos a desenterrar el anhelo de encontrar propósito en la vida, con la esperanza de superar la soledad humana.

Written in braille, Tercera Persona is a discussion that takes place between ‘him’ and ‘her”, in which we witnesses a conversation of misunderstandings, based on the impossibility of communication and everyday life. Veronica Gerber Bicecci (Mexico City, 1980) reduces language to a less complex framework, through which everything that we cannot understand— but that which haunts us every day —becomes again what it actually is and always was.
Escrito en braille, Tercera Persona presenta una discusión entre “él” y “ella”... Rastros de una conversación mal avenida por el mal entendimiento y la imposibilidad de una comunicación total dentro de la cotidianidad. Verónica Gerber Bicecci (Ciudad de México, 1980) reduce el lenguaje a un panorama menos complejo para que sea de nuevo eso que no podemos entender, pero que sabemos que nos acecha cada día.

"Since the early 2000s, I have been making daily photographs with digital cameras. Each day this archive of digital files would grow bigger. I had no intention to exhibit these.
In 2018, in a culture over-inundated and amassed with photographs (mostly digital) and with eroded attention spans, I decided to start erasing my photo archive. This erasure became an art-work I titled it NOSTALGIA. The passages in this book are descriptions of a selection of digital photographs that have
been deleted."

The photographs that are included in this book form part of the archive of the photographer Alberto Flores Varela. The majority were taken on commission by the Sociedad de Cuauhtémoc y Famosa (SCyF), an institution established in 1918 for Cervecería Cuauhtémoc (Cuauhtémoc Brewing Company), a company that marked the foundation of modern Monterrey. It´s worth noting that the context of those years was of revolution. The business´ elite was threatened by the labor rights included in the new constitution of 1917, which featured the right to strike. This is how the “most fortunate” workers of modern Monterrey were domesticated. It was thus decided to sacrifice freedom of expression, free association, and democratic representation of the workers, among other rights, in exchange for maintaining employment in “the company.” This book depicts the first flash of restrained disillusionment: ¨forever loyal.¨
These images represent the seed of the social order that was established in many industrial cities around the world.
Las fotografías que integran este libro forman parte del archivo del fotógrafo Alberto Flores Varela y la mayoría fueron tomadas por encargo de la Sociedad Cuauhtémoc y Famosa (SCyF), institución creada en 1918 por Cervecería Cuauhtémoc, empresa fundadora del Monterrey moderno. Cabe recordar que el contexto de aquellos años era de revolución. La élite empresarial se encontraba totalmente amenazada por la cartera de derechos laborales contenidos en la nueva constitución de 1917, que incluía el derecho a huelga. Callados, en la mesa familiar, sonriendo, levantando un poco más la botella, no tanto, ¡no se muevan! Así fueron domesticados los trabajadores “más afortunados” del Monterrey moderno. Estas imágenes representan la simiente del orden social que acabó por instalarse en muchas ciudades industriales del orbe. Así se decidió sacrificar la libertad de expresión, la libre asociación y la representación democrática de los trabajadores, entre otros derechos, a cambio de conservar el empleo en “la compañía”.
Este libro retrata el primer flashazo de desilusión contenida: leales para siempre.

In 1972, Ulises Carrión produced his first artist’s book SONNET(S) which consists on 44 variations of a sonnet by Dante Gabriel Rosetti titled “Heart’s Compass”. Using the language as a material, Carrión writes Rossetti’s poem over and over again on a typewriter, in slightly different versions. This book is considered today as Carrión’s first‘ artist’s book’, where he still uses language, but quite differently. In 2009, Michalis Pichler, in a similar approach but using mostly Word or OpenOffice, created 44 new variations and published this book, titled SOME MORESONNET(S).

Benjamin’s arguments against the reproducibility of image retake the importance of digitalization that exists today.
“It would therefore be wrong to underestimate the value of such theses as a weapon. They brush aside a number of outmoded concepts, such as creativity and genius, eternal value and mystery”

Reunión are various acts that involve conversing, reading and writing; quotidian yet strange acts that always implicate being next to one another. Zelko writes down poems that others dictate to him. After completing his homework of how to listen and how to write, he edits the books within the next coming days. In a round of nine people, the writings are presented to the author’s neighbors, friends, and family. The writer reads his poems; he listens to himself while he is being heard by others.
The second part of the project consists of an extension of the first project, in other places. In a round of nine chairs, the writer’s poems are read by spokespeople, emissaries who lend their bodies, eyes and voices. It is a chain of situations and encounters: subjects dictating and reading, reading and writing; books and poems. All these are actions and proceedings in order to be together.
This edition, titled North Border, was realized between September 2017 and October 2018, taking place in Mexico, USA, and Canada (Tijuana, Veracruz, Texas, Florida, New York, Princeton and Toronto). The cover’s photograph was taken just before the presentation of Maritza’s book. Maritza read her poems aloud to her caravan friends. Then they gave away some books to people who passed by, and walked to the USA in order to seek political asylum.

In a landscape where the technologies governing our lives are increasingly obscured, this publication aims to reveal the underlying processes of a machine learning program. It seeks to mediate the “gaze” of the machine and human comprehension. The book documents the technical capabilities of an algorithm trained to analyze the formal patterns of the alphabet while it imagines other letters from that knowledge.
The resulting outputs — letters without semantic value — embraces and emphasizes the meaningless results of the machine: it is the human input and framework that imbues “sense” to these forms. Combining expository exercises with surreal typographic characters, Latent Space: Notes on Seeing Letters Like a Machine is a grounding text on the mechanics of machine learning and a visual celebration of formal possibility.

Domestic Orbits is a speculative essay that explores how the domestic space is configured around orbits of exclusion that shape the trajectories of domestic workers.
How is the space articulated according to gender, class, or race?
Organized through a series of case- studies that range from 1950s until today’s Mexico City, the book looks at the different scales in which domestic labor gets erased by architects and planners. It reads the architectural plans of five well-known projects, giving a perspective that aims to highlight social and economical relationships.
Domestic Orbits sketches a counter-history of modern architecture, questioning the duality that exists between the visible and invisible — those who count, and those who don’t.
Domestic Orbits es un ensayo que
explora cómo la configuración del espacio doméstico depende de órbitas de exclusión que delinean las trayectorias de las empleadas domésticas, invitándonos a cuestionar las formas en las que el espacio se articula de acuerdo al género, clase o raza.
Organizado según una serie de casos en la Ciudad de México, desde los años cincuenta hasta hoy en día, el texto estudia en diferentes escalas de qué manera el trabajo doméstico es eliminado por arquitectos y proyectistas, a través de la lecutra de cinco obras muy conocidas, que resaltan las relaciones sociales y económicas.
De este modo, Domestic Orbits esboza una contra-historia de la arquitectura moderna que cuestiona la dualidad entre lo visible e invisible; entre los que cuentan y los que no.
When I had my daughter, I asked my boss if she could live with me and she said no because the house isn’t big enough. The room we sleep in is very small, so I haven’t been lucky enough to live with her.

The Declared Enemy — which would become the title of Albert Dichy’s edition of Genet’s articles and interviews from 1964 to 1986 — was written in Tangiers the same year that Genet was invited to encourage support and bear witness to the repression suffered by The Black Panther Party (1970).
Bouchra Khalili’s The Radical Ally
is a visual and textual investigation on the work she undertook in Twenty-Two Hours (2018). In it, she follows Genet’s traces during his stay with the Panthers, and questions what remains of the party’s political memory.
Through other important voices, Bouchra interrogates the different layers of history that have engulfed the struggle for liberation to which the characters in her video have committed their lives to. In this publication, we explore the position of the radical ally as the reverse of the declared enemy.
To become the radical ally, as Khalili reminds us in her interview with Jackie Wang, Genet had to destroy the white man in him.
In 1984, when Jean Genet was preparing the edition of his most important articles, he chose to start with a text that did not belong with the rest of the collection.
En 1984, cuando Jean Genet preparaba la edición de sus principales artículos, eligió comenzar con un escrito que no pertenecía al resto de los textos incluidos en la colección.
The Declared Enemy, que se convirtió en el título de la edición de Albert Dichy de los artículos y entrevistas de Genet de 1964 a 1986, fue escrito en Tánger el mismo año que el escritor fue invitadoa apoyar y aportar su testimonio sobre la represión sufrida por el Partido Black Panther (1970).
The Radical Ally, de Bouchra Khalili, es una investigación visual y textual sobre el trabajo que realizó en el libro Twenty-Two Hours (2018), donde sigue las huellas de Genet durante su estancia con los Panthers, con el fin de cuestionar qué queda de la memoria política del Partido.
A través de distintos autores, Bouchra interroga las diferentes capas de la historia que han envuelto la lucha por la liberación de los personajes de su video.
En esta publicación, la autora explora la posición del aliado radical como el reversodel enemigo declarado.
Para convertirse en el aliado radical, como Khalili nos recuerda en su entrevista con Jackie Wang, Genet tuvo que destruir al hombre blanco en sí mismo.
It is a form of resistance,
reclaiming history from the power.

Nonverbal is a book of drawings in which animals, everyday objects and parts of the body serve as short narrations that communicate physical sensations without words.
Employing a similar economy to writing, the content considers the lyrical genre, paralinguistics, and the overall language of cartoons. Due to such close proximity to literary creation, the drawings can be read as poems, jokes or refrains.
Nonverbal es un libro de dibujos en el que animales, objetos de la vida cotidiana y partes del cuerpo sirven para contar pequeñas historias y transmitir sensaciones físicas sin usar una sola palabra.
Con una economía de medios similar a la de la escritura, el contenido de la publicación considera el género lírico, la paralingüística y el lenguaje de las caricaturas. Esta proximidad con la creación literaria permite que los dibujos sean leídos como poemas, chistes o refranes.

In La manzana no espera, the Argentinian poet and artist Ricardo Carreira (1924-1993), member of Tucumán Arde collective, experiments with the boundaries of words, a space that escapes common language, to liberate sound, meaning and image as if it were the first time, but also as a space that demonstrates the play of its mechanism, the margin of action the opens between them like semantic gaps.

The spanglish neologism “Pocha Nostra” can be translated into “our impurities”or “the cartel of culturally-betraying bastards”.
It is an attitude against art and society: interracial, cross-trans-or-post- national, polygendered, post-ultra-retro- experimental, neoindian; or a remix of the same or nothing.
And so what? What’s the problem? After all, national states are dysfunctional and outdated.
El neologismo spanglish "Pocha Nostra" puede traducirse como "nuestras impurezas" o "el cartel de bastardos traidores culturales".

El libro recopila manifiestos, o antimanifiestos, de los últimos veintitrés años de este colectivo para el que, muchas veces, el performance se convirtió en una pedagogía.

The line, the lie, and the lice is a book of divination that is governed by one idea: all complex ideas are composed of simple ideas.
Two ideas: if everything can be reduced to a simple idea, why do I understand less and less every time? Three ideas: due to distraction, refraction or hyper-simplification. Four ideas: error — neither the one or the other, but something much worse.

This book collects unpublished photographs that the American artist Zoe Leonard took along the Rio Grande (or Río Bravo) in 2017. It also inculdes texts comissioned by the Mexican poet and activist, Dolores Dorantes, who has been living in exile in the United States for years.It is an immersion, through its physical barrier (the waters of Río Bravo), into the very heart of the border between Mexico and the US.A number of figures appearing in the water recall something else: skin, scars, wrinkles, genitals... The writing of an unknown language; a hybrid of image and text that attempts a conversation between the ever-changing continuous flow of water and the terrible complexities that surround it.
Este libro recopila fotografías inéditas que la artista estadounidense Zoe Leonard tomó a lo largo del Río Bravo en 2017, así como textos encargados para este proyecto a Dolores Dorantes, poeta y activista mexicana, quien durante años ha estado exiliada en Estados Unidos. Se trata de una inmersión, a través de la barrera física (el Río Bravo), al corazón de la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos, donde habitan figuras escondidas bajo el agua: piel, cicatrices, arrugas y genitales, escribiendo con un idioma desconocido. Un híbrido entre imagen y texto que se plantea como intento roto de conversación bilingüe entre el siempre cambiante flujo del agua y las terribles complejidades que la rodean.

By nature, manifestos are tied to time.
For Alex Williams and Nick Srnicek, time is a raw material that can only be released from its obligations and contracts by means of acceleration.
If Newton lived in these dark times, he might have reformulated his laws based on the concept of accelerationism.
Por naturaleza, los manifiestos están ligados al tiempo.
El manifiesto aceleracionista hace del tiempo la razón del manifiesto; no el tiempo necesario que necesita una cosa para cumplir su objetivo, sino el tiempo que el capitalismo necesita para capitalizarse.
Para Alex Williams y Nick Srnicek el tiempo es una materia prima que solo puede ser liberada de sus obligaciones y contratos por medio de la aceleración.
Si Newton viviera en estos días oscuros probablemente reformularía sus leyes siguiendo la fórmula del aceleracionismo.

An Artist, by Malena Pizani, collects, through 1,400 sentences, the process in which an artist defines their selfs. The sentences, lacking verbs, describe the artist in a petrified state in which they neither act, create, execute, nor intervene; but rather thinks themself or looks within, through the eyes of the others.
An Artist, de Malena Pizani, recopila,
por medio de 1400 enunciados, las características de un artista en vías de definición. Los enunciados, carentes de verbo, describen al artista, petrificado entre dos puntos, en un estado en el que ni actúa, ni crea, ni ejecuta, ni interviene; sólo se piensa a sí mismo o se ve a través de los ojos de los demás.
An artist who looks out of the corner of his eye / An artist who looks out of the corner of his eye and also eavesdrops / An artist who looks out of the corner of his eye and makes comments in passing so that everyone else will hear / A mean-spirited artist / A dark energied artist / A dark-energied who has power / A dark-energied artist who has power and distributes it among other dark-energied artists.

Written as an essay, An Attempt at a «Compositionist Manifesto» responds to the need of treating the manifesto as a genre of its own.
Using The Communist Manifesto as a model, Latour constructs a manifesto using the different meanings of the word “compose” in order to think about a new world: one that is composed
and decomposed into heterogeneous elements.
For the author, the manifesto is the foundation of the world that we need to imagine.
Escrito como un ensayo, An Attempt at a «Compositionist Manifesto» pone en evidencia la necesidad del manifiesto cómo género, y su total coincidencia con la contemporaneidad, a pesar de que el pensamiento opuesto sea dominante.

In this book, Doris Sommer, Director of the Cultural Agents Initiative at Harvard University, proposes an array of semantic neologisms in order to understandthe new dynamics of our constantly accelerating world by questionig ways in which to create new ideas and new construction tools. It is a double invitation: on the one hand, it develops definitions that articulate an interdisciplinary lexicon, and on the other, it suggests missing words.
It is vital for the new lexicon’s intuitions to move into public discourse.

Se tratade una doble invitación: por un lado, a desarrollar definiciones que articulen un léxico interdisciplinario y por otro, a sugerir palabras faltantes.
Lo importante es que las instituciones del nuevo léxico pasen al discurso público.

Simultaneously, she proposes a communal organization, a resistance against individualism and isolation. As a type of game, Jauregui borrows words from other manifestos.

Combahee River Collective, an African-american feminist collective, presents a testimony of the reflective work since the1970s in the United States. The book discusses four major topics: the genesis of contemporary black feminism and the particularity of this very policy; the problems and the history of the collective; the black feminist practice and their issues. As feminists and lesbians, they know that sexual politics under patriarchy is pervasive in black women’s lives, as well as the politics of class and race.
We will discuss four major topics in the paper that follows: (1) the genesis of contemporary Black feminism;(2) what we believe, i.e.,the specific province of our politics; (3) the problems in organizing Black feminists, including a brief her story of our collective; and (4) Black feminist issues and practice.

The deliberate use of merchandising strategies in presidential campaigns and governmental communications have, in the past decade, sought out ways to close the gap between the people and their candidates or government officials.
The epitome of such strategies can be found in one section of the official websiteof the Mexican presidency entitled “My picture with the President”.
Now, six years into his devastating presidency, it seems clear that the only thing president Enrique Peña Nieto has been interested sincethe beginning is looking his best with his fans.
El deliberado uso de la mercadotecnia y la publicidad en las campañas presidenciales y de comunicación de gobierno, ha

The executive branch declared it was an acciden when in fact, the warehouses were intentionally blown-up in order to hide pieces of evidence of arm-trafficking in which the president Carlos Menem was involved. Seven people were killed, and more than three hundred wounded, and the city crammed with shards and warfare ammunitions which citizens brought to their homes as souvenirs.

This is a memoir—a documentary—an anecdote—a flashback. And a dissonant guide to a so-called «hot» city and its residents, as they encountered or reacted to a major art event. All photos and quotes presented in this book were found and collected from documenta 14 press material, exhibition reviews, online blogs, social media, and the streets of Athens and Kassel.

"Something is moving beneath the surface of the land. It´s a rabbit digging rapidly a hole along the countryside. The bunny gets out of the hole and opens up a map to check his whereabouts. He says to himself: “Let´s see now. Through Azusa, turn left at Cucamonga… till you hit Los Angeles. The straight out Wilshire Boulevard to the La Brea Tar Pits. I knew I should of taken that left turn at Albuquerque.” It´s a Warner cartoon form the nineteen forties seen once too often in my childhood, dubbed in Spanish. The left turn at Cucamonga, or more precisely, the word Cucamonga scintillated like a strange jewel, pronounced once and again, nonsensical and bombastic. I didn´t know then that it was a valley in San Bernardino. It also explains why it was used in a Warner cartoon. You´re driving down a highway in southern California and you read a sign of the next exit. You read it out loud: “Rancho Cucamonga”, you use it in a Warner cartoon, you used as a title for a concrete poetry book as nonsensical and bombastic as the word. You say the word, you inhabit the word, you make a habit of the word -any word- you choose it at random, then you choose another and another, making a sound pattern that means one thing and the next. Words run along –never moving, never standing still- between content and expression, between Deleuze and Guattari: an abstract machine, an abstract monster, an abstract."

Exhaustive list of all causes of death registered by the Ministry of Health of México. Meticulous and exhaustive taxonomy of decease; classified by type, gender, family and circumstance. Instruments usually employed to produce a death certificate, an eloquent part of the bureaucratic codification of life and death, are here subordinated to a different aim. A critical purpose of denunciation in the context of a country, México, where over the last years people disappear by thousands —mainly as victims of necropolitical agents, corruption networks and necroeconomical agents— For these people, a registered cause of death is another stolen Right, and this book is a humble form of vindication and homage.

En Obra is a graphic memory of Mexico City that portrays the rise and decay of its modernization project through the collection of the Museo Archivo de la Fotografía.
What we see here is the material of a little explored, almost unpublished, file which was protected for several decades. In it, we find images that range from the registration of infrastructure works such as water, drainage, paving, and lighting, to the transformation of public markets. It offers a look at reformatories, prisons, hospitals, fire stations, driver education programs and traffic police actions. It also shows many of the symbolic elements of power: its monuments and civic rituals.
Thus, this book constitutes a self- portrait of the State in which it the history of the governments of the city and the birth and evolution of the urban trace, intersect with the transformation of the daily life of its inhabitants.
En Obra es una memoria gráfica de la Ciudad de México que retrata, a través del acervo del Museo Archivo de la Fotografía, el auge y decadencia de su proyecto modernizador hasta el despertar democrático y ciudadano.
Lo que aquí vemos es el material de un archivo poco explorado, casi inédito, que fue resguardado durante varias décadas. En él, se pueden encontrar imágenes que van desde el registro de obras de infraestructura como agua, drenaje, pavimentación, y alumbrado, hasta la transformación de los mercados públicos; ofreciéndonos una mirada dentro de reformatorios, prisiones, hospitales, estaciones de bomberos, programas de educación vial y las acciones de la policía de tránsito; mostrándonos, también, elementos simbólicos del poder: sus monumentos y rituales cívicos.
Este libro constituye así un autorretrato del Estado en el que se entrecruzan la historia de los gobiernos de la ciudad y el nacimiento y evolución de la traza urbana con las transformación de la vida cotidiana de sus habitantes.

Reunión is composed of various acts that involve conversation, reading and writing: daily actions –though at the same time out of the ordinary- that always involve being face to face. Dani Zelko writes down poems that others dictate to him. They dictate to him as the conversation develops and then finally ceases. After fulfilling his task as a listener and copyist, he edits and prints the books the following day. The books are presented to neighbors, family and friends of the writer in a circle of nine people. The writer reads his poems out loud, he listens to himself and the others hear him for the first time.The second part of the project consists of an extension of the first acts in other places. Writers’ poems are read out loud by spokespersons, emissaries and people who lend their body, eyes and voice to read in a round of nine chairs the poems of people who are absent. A chain of actions, subjects dictating and reading, a scribe and a listener, spokesmen and listeners, books and poems. Actions and procedures for being with others.

There is a physical city and a lived city, transited. Each step in it names the individual as a plural being, A wall, a camera, and a gaze inhabiting the space. Between public and private is the description of those who set up and shape a city. That transit reveals the individual states of who in front of the camera tells us about himself and who looks at them, selects and builds his own narrative of the city. Series of photographs taken in 2007 in front of the wall of the Supreme Court of Justice, Mexico City.

A photo essay about the ecology of evil in contemporary Mexican cities and, by extension, in the cities of the underdeveloped world. A road movie turned into a massive book that portrays the outskirts of Ciudad Juárez, the industrial city bordering the United States, which became one of the most dangerous places in the world. A portrait, maybe not of one of the unintended consequences of the neoliberal globalization project, but perhaps the portrait of the project itself.
Each Muñoz Santini’s image documents in an excellent way the disaster and the extreme of a State of Things: modest houses that are built as a bunker (with windows painted on the walls to evoke another way of life); Constructive projects made beforehand to be abandoned; Ghosts of the victims of feminicide in the evocation of the leaflets that pray for them in the posts; Car graveyards and junk in both degraded art; Desolation of ruins, irons, monuments, tires, bricks that constitute open-air questions that nobody answers.

On September 19, 2017, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake occurred on the Richter scale at 1:14:40 p.m. in Mexico City. The epicenter of the telluric movement took place in Puebla-Morelos, 120 kilometers from the city. The earthquake occurred the same day as that of 1985. Some of the people who are part of the book lived the previous one; others were not yet born.

Criminal process of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, against Don Carlos, main Indian of Tezcuco. Historical document written just eighteen years after the conquest of Tenochtitlán, in which the grandson of Netzahualcóyotl addresses the newly born nobles of New Spain as if they were macehuales, among other important things.
En 1539, 18 años después de la destrucción de México y en el mismo año que llegó la primera imprenta, fue juzgado por idolatría Don Carlos, cacique de Tezcoco, hijo de Netzahualpilli y nieto de Netzahualcoyotl. El juicio que presentamos le costó a la Santa Inquisición, por orden de la corte imperial de Carlos V, la expulsión temporal de México durante el siglo xvi. ¿Qué fué lo que tanto le molestó al primer obispo de la Ciudad de México e inquisidor apostólico, Fray Juan de Zumárraga? ¿la idolatría del acusado o su rebeldía frente a la iglesia? ¿y cuál era la prisa por dictaminar un juicio sin darle una nueva oportunidad de defensa?

With The Book of Pleasures, Vaneigem puts before himself, by means of the notion of pleasure, the old idea that usury destroys man and, from joy, builds a devastating text of our society erected at the opposite extreme. This essay shows a much more propositional side of situationism, which is dissipated by means of a less judgmental style before an a priori: pleasure.

María Sabina is an art book that consists of three parts: the photographic series that Gusmano Cesaretti made in 1982 during his ten-day stay at the curandera’s house; a testimony in which he narrates his experience with entheogens known as holy children; and a selection of photographs from said series, intervened by the artist, that convey aspects of an experience that is difficult to communicate with words. In this account, the rich images of the Italian photographer help to fill empty spaces in the myth of the wise old woman.

The memory of the Kurds, in his opinion, is rocky, it seems to have never begun; However, she talks about what a woman, in the midst of a history of spoil and massacre, feels; feels after giving birth, after falling in love or in the middle of a divorce, to be able to think of something different.

8ez Steps by renowned artist and photographer Gusmano Cesaretti, is a reprint of a book he originally published in 1972 with Art Povera, LA Photo Book. In the style of the conceptual works of the seventies, this work takes as its pretext the process of depilation told in eight steps to reflect on the relationship between man and his tools.
By creating a series of eight images that reveal a progression in time (six photos of the mons veneris of the model from the moments prior to shaving to fully shaven, and two photos of the instruments used: shaving brush, razors, and scissors) Cesaretti’s sequence generates a forward temporal movement in its successive depiction of stages of a process.

Why did you shoot me? it is a sculpture in the strictest sense of the term. A solid question impacted by the firing of a medium caliber weapon. It is, perhaps, a hard and forceful statement about fear and about the loss of the freedom to ask, to know. It is a book about the vulnerability of the book itself and the possibility
–nullified– of being replicated.

Mladen Stilinovic is one of the most notable Croatian artists of the second half of the 20th century. Actions, photographs, drawings, installations, sculptures, objects, groups, texts and meetings are part of the repertoire of his work.In this short text, The Praise of Laziness, which is nothing more than a minimal sample of his anti-systemic, revolutionary and political-aesthetic legacy, Stilinovic leaves us a manifesto- reflection on laziness and the universal right to it, as a form creative, revolutionary and anti-capitalist action.
Mladen Stilinovic es uno de los más notables artistas croatas de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Acciones, fotografías, dibujos, instalaciones, esculturas, objetos, agrupaciones, textos y reuniones son parte del repertorio de su obra. En este breve texto, The Praise of Laziness, que no es más que una mínima muestra de su legado antisistémico, revolucionario y político-estético, Stilinovic nos deja un manifiesto-reflexión en torno a la pereza y al derecho universal a la misma, como forma creativa, revolucionaria y anticapitalista.
Laziness is the absence of movement and thought, dumb time - total amnesia. It is also indifference, staring at nothing, non-activity, impotence. It is sheer stupidity, a time of pain, futile concentration. Those virtues of laziness are important factors in art.

With The Book of Pleasures, Vaneigem puts before himself, through the notion of pleasure, the old idea that usury destroys man and, from it, builds a devastating text of our society erected at the opposite end of joy . This essay shows a much more propositional side of situationism, which is dissipated by means of a less judgmental style before an a priori: pleasure.
Intense pleasure implies the end of all forms of work and of all restraint.

Perhaps Liz Mevill is very angry, perhaps Cioran realized too late how terrible her affiliation with Nazism and nationalism, but the fact is that this compendium of portraits of enraged, rabid and almost diabolical Chihuahuas puppies, paired with sentences of the philosopher of the Carpathians, translated into Albanian, results in...

Adolf Loos proposes in this sharp and critical (sometimes a bit totalitarian) discourse a return to simplicity, to the essence, to the elemental form and function of design and architecture, against the ornamental excesses of Art Nouveau.
Even greater is the damage done by ornament to the nation that produces it. Since ornament is no longer a natural product of our culture, so that it is a phenomenon either of backwardness or degeneration, the work of the ornamentor is no longer adequately remunerated.

Hal Foster extends, with this essay, the discussion started by Adolf Loos in 1906 in his text on Art Nouveau entitled Ornament and Crime. Foster explains the current uber domination of design, incorporating, into the confusion between genres foreshadowed by Loos, the dehumanization advocated by Musil in Man without attributes, that is, the objectless subject. To understand the path that has led us from Guimard to Steve Jobs it is essential to read Design and Crime.
A world of qualities without man has arisen, of experiences without the person who experiences them, and it almost looks as though ideally private experience is a thing of the past, and that the friendly burden of personal responsability is to dissolve into a system of formulas of possible meanings. Probably the dissolution of the anthropocentric point of view, which for a such a long time considered man to be at the center of the universe but which has been fading for centuries, has finally arrived at the “I” itself.

Two bodies hang on a large paper surface. Armed with graphite bars, they draw what their momentum, in constant struggle with the force of gravity, traces as a circular, rough and at the same time fluid route. A choreographic, graphic and editorial work that turns logic upside down.

Meteorite's main and last mission is to reap tremors. Taking ownership of the cabañuelas, an ancient method of predicting the agricultural cycle, a group of personalities never assembled and scattered across the globe, build from observation and reflection on the environment, a calendar of omens that points out and foresees collisions criticism in some cases, seasons of tremors in others, violent revolutions or migrations of birds and capital. Meteorite is mutant, seasonal and each number corresponds to the seasons of the year. The number of members participating in it is as uncertain as their identities. Meteorite is adherent to the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle and has proven affiliation with Pataphysics.

Through the cracks of our times, the contemporary curse was dictated by a whispering voice before the creepy becoming. It was years ago when it began to take shape and be slowly dictated like the groan of a monster buried in a mountain about to explode.
Silent, enormous spread among us, a curse dedicated to all those authoritarian and neoliberal regimes that only bring destruction and restlessness: The Others is our revenge.
We will remember you as what never should have been.
We will
completely forget you afterwards.
You are
forever damned.

Thought as a single poem, Espejos by Tania Carrera pursues, through fragmentation, the latent construction of an identity in equivalence: the formation of the two sides of the mirror runs parallel in time, in and out. The zero point, the point at which both sides should intersect, seems to meet and contract in the multiplicity of the broken, gnawed, fragmented, multiplied, and broken mirror.

Manuel de Landa, is an artist, academic, writer and, in his own words, "street philosopher without credentials". Concepts such as self-organization, anti-markets, artificial life, the internet and non-linearity are so new that it is just beginning to see what they are able to show about our behaviors. A light but deep talk of the ideas that build the author's thinking of Mil años de historia no lineal.
The lines are fuzzy but only when you compare viruses with, let’s say, crystals. Crystals also grow by replication, viruses also grow by replication. In a way, a virus is just a fancy crystal. But when you compare creatures farther away from the border, say, what we call higher animals like ourselves, you can see the difference with hurricanes. The command component in the mixture increases with evolution and the higher you get in the evolutionary tree the command component increases. We call it “higher” but we are not any higher than bacteria, we just happen to believe we are special. So to use the organism as a metaphor is wrong.

Abdelmadjid Benjelloun, Moroccan writer, poet and historian, presents in his Aforismos, brief definitions that go to the point or that go to the neck; they leave nothing out, nothing unexplained, following the old arrangement of geometry that warns that the shortest distance between two words is happening. The whole universe fits in one word; understanding its complexity is a matter of conjugating and arguing it, alone and dry, with the stone, the sky, the streams, the men, the silences, the women, the shadow, death and the sea.
Mi muerte es un asunto entre el silencio y yo.

One morning, the city of Paris wakes up and the Louvre museum is no longer there. In its place is a mountain of rubble, broken works, pieces from the museum's collection: gravel of the modern mixed with the old. The theater-performance piece by the Catalan artist Oriol Vilanova is a monologue that challenges the viewer and the bourgeois idea of culture and heritage. A long accusatory sentence dictated by a girl, by the museum itself and by Hubert Robert, who saved his head from the guillotine and after the French revolution became the first curator of the Louvre.

What can be after Youporn, but a trail of wonderful images: a micro world full of petit morte that parade between erect, winged and equine totems through the meadows of these small antigravity gomorons inhabited by pussy cats with round and soft buttocks, flying horse-penises and rivers of semen and slime. Choreographic vaginas wide open and a sexual-porno-erotic animalario misbehaved but delicious fruit, from the perverse hinge and the bold and delirious eye of Andrea García.

Wondering Where does poetry go? it involves unfolding the writing back and forth, to its future and its past; it implies reflecting on the destiny that lies ahead but also looking for the “missing link” between prose and verse, between linearity and verticality and between mouth and hand. Bernard Nöel traces this brief history from the disposition of poetry on the page, less as an anthropology of writing than as an archeology of mental spaces, place and surface of creation and perpetual emancipation.

The voice in inner exile, in metaphysical introspection, in the undulating fluidity of the words: revolving around love, daily life and the hope that rises even when the tower falls. Mahmoud Darwish, is considered the Palestinian national poet and one of the most significant contemporary Arab writers.The first lines of this book say “Write that I am Arab, and the number of my card is fifty thousand: the references and the feelings are palpable”, with this image one can clearly imagine the situation in some border. Palestinian, Mahmoud Darwish manifests, in eleven poems, his condition of exile, and from there, in the confines and at a distance, the horizon folds between absence, despair and some hope recovered.
Escribe que soy árabe,
y con mis camaradas de infortunio trabajo en la cantera.
Para mis ocho hijos arranco,
de las rocas, el mendrugo de pan, el vestido y los libros.
No mendigo limosnas a tu puerta, ni me rebajo ante tus escalones. ¿Te enfadarás por ello?

A reflection on what it means to write and breathe in exile: flight, search, his position in the world, fantasy, writing as a weapon, as a defense, as a construction.
¿Por qué el escritor exiliado tendría que valerse de cualquier otra cosa, por qué habría de molestarse en vislumbrar el futuro de otra manera si a final de cuentas éste seguirá siendo impredecible? Aquel viejo caldo de cultivo le sirvió de algo por lo menos una vez: le ha ganado el exilio. Y el exilio, después de todo, es una clase de éxito. ¿Por qué habría de ser de otra forma? ¿Por qué echarle un poco más de agua al caldo?

In Memorias del futuro, María Cerdá Acebrón displays in the form of a visual essay a sort of critical collage that she uses to carry out a reflection on how the historical memory of a people is kept or modified from the power and from the media; in this case that of Franco and post-Franco Spain.

Love between women and men, thought of as a struggle, requires weapons and a strategy. Leaving her devoid of formation is as much as abandoning them to their fate in the face of an enemy that seems well prepared. Through famous couples taken from greek mythology, Ovid’s advice seeks to remedy this disadvantage, not only to seduce them, but also to enslave and deceive them; because only a woman educated in these arts will be able to find a cultivated and non-gross man who continues to fight his Iliads.
Ovidio ha dado armas a los hombres para que, en amor, luchen con las mujeres; ahora las dará a éstas para que se defiendan y, a su vez, puedan combatir contra ellos. Así, la batalla se empeñará con medios iguales, y vencerán quienes fueren alentados por Venus y Cupido.

Amapola's flowers from which opium and heroin are derived and a collection of portraits of drug traffickers adorned with mustaches. The former are sought to be transformed into illegal substances, the latter sought by the world police for their equally illegal business. What will be the relationship between flowers and mustaches? It is perhaps probable that none, however, in the landscape of the war against drug trafficking in Mexico, those with the mustache appear more times on the covers than the beautiful poppy flowers. The relationship between these two species is one: in both cases they are the most wanted.
