At the end of all human dreams there is nothing but dust

About

The inspiration for exhibition’ title is words said by Federica Montseny’s (Madrid, 1905 – Toulouse, 1994). She was not only Syndicalist, anarchist and novelist, but also the first woman who served as a minister of Spain, within the framework of the II Republic. Montseny strongly believed that one of the best ways to communicate ideas and knowledge was literature. That is why she always defended libertarian productions aesthetics and ethics always pursued the same purpose. The same happens with the projects that distill a libertarian scent what is always to seek this complex balance. The balance placed in a complicated spot in which they manage to maintain a coherent and ethical attitude within the art world from a firm political position. A series of artistic proposals arise then entailing an implication that goes beyond the aesthetic or intellectual, approaching the personal. With no hesitation, Güell & Orta and Husni-Bey are commited to the issues they address to “stir in the mud and change the surrounding reality.”
