The Unavowable Community - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

This project, Catalonia s proposal for 53 Venice Art Biennale, offers theoretical and critical content that gives meaning to contemporary artistic practices in Catalonia. Based on the book of the same name by Maurice Blanchot, The Unavowable Community is a proposal that explores the types of social intervention adopted by various artistic practices that are developed around the idea of the communal. Three different projects have been selected to form part of this project: Sitesize by Joan Vila-Puig and Elvira Pujol, Technologies To The People by Daniel G. Andújar, and Arxiu F.X. by Pedro G. Romero. These projects share communal strategies of transversality and antagonism, in a territory that is difficult to chart, found in the cracks in both the institution of art and models of cultural productivity. An important link between the ideas forming La comunitat inconfessable is their questioning of the notion of a single and, even, recognisable authorship.
