“Because masquerades like the ones we live through everyday are never carried out to the end; only the appearance is taken from them, as if that were the essence. We are still waiting for ‘the great theater of the world’ in which the stalls, the circle, and the galleries face each other—that is what it is all about!—and not a stage in which only a farce is performed.” Isidoro Valcárcel Medina, translated by Paula Montoya, Pablo Gervás, and Eva Diego.
Architecture, gallery space, and the human body are reconsidered as something between stage and reality in this “pocket magazine” of essays and artwork by Valcárcel, Stelarc, Almodóvar, Wigley, Teyssot, and others. -Printed Matter
