AQUÍ, JUNTO AL AGUA. NICARAGUA
Rafael Trobat, fotógrafo que inició su carrera de la mano de Cristina García Rodero, nos ofrece su particular visión de Nicaragua, país que lleva visitando regularmente desde hace dieciocho años. Esta obra, que es su lanzamiento a nivel editorial, nos muestra su capacidad para integrarse en una realidad que, finalmente, refleja en su complejidad pero también de forma directa y accesible. Una manera única de conocer una realidad diferente desde dentro, en toda su riqueza social, personal y cultural. En definitiva, un documento fotográfico de primera magnitud.

ESTIMAT PICASSO
Fugitiu de la dictadura franquista, Josep Palau i Fabre va arribar a París el 1945 amb la idea fixa de conèixer Picasso. Què esperava d’aquesta trobada? Què podia donar-li Picasso humanament? De quina manera podia incidir en la seva trajectòria d’escriptor? El 27 de juny de 1947 Picasso va rebre Palau i Fabre a l’estudi de la rue des Grands Agustins i es va iniciar una relació plena de contrastos: passió i sacrifici, adoració i sentiment de culpa, remordiment i amor filial. Conscient que estava vivint una experiència única, va anar anotant els records d’aquestes visites. Fins al 1960, com si fossin unes memòries. A partir de 1963, en un dietari apassionant. Picasso apareix a Nôtre-Dame de Vie, a la Costa Blava, en l’entorn familiar, envoltat d’amics, conversant i dibuixant: un creador superdotat i un esperit de contradicció permanent. Un moment excepcional és el maig del 68, que Palau i Fabre va viure a casa de Picasso. Publicat per primera vegada el 1997, l’edició que avui presentem, desplega visualment Estimat Picasso. A més de les obres de Picasso de la col.lecció Palau i Fabre, actualment a la Fundació Palau, inclou documents gràfics que permeten acompanyar Josep Palau i Fabre en la seva aventura al costat de l’artista més gran del segle XX.

FUNDACIÓ JOAN MIRÓ. BARCELONA
La Fundación Joan Miró fue la primera institución pública abierta en Barcelona centrada exclusivamente en el arte contemporáneo. Joan Miró y Josep Lluís Sert —quien la diseñó—, miembro fundador de GATCPAC (un grupo líder en la introducción de la arquitectura moderna en Cataluña) se encontraron por primera vez en 1932 y enseguida se hicieron buenos amigos mientras trabajaban en el pabellón español (de la República) de la Exposición Universal de París de 1937. Tras la primera gran retrospectiva del trabajo de Joan Miró en Barcelona (1968), el artista decidió construir un edificio para hacer su obra accesible al público de manera permanente. Sert fue el encargado del proyecto, para lo que creó una estructura de plano abierto en la que el interior se comunica con el exterior, creando un equilibrio perfecto entre arquitectura y paisaje. A partir de estas fechas, la Fundación se amplió en dos ocasiones. El arquitecto encargado de ambas ampliaciones fue Jaume Freixa, discípulo de Sert, que había trabajado con su maestro durante once años en Harvard y que había desempeñado un papel activo en la creación de la Fundación.

LEAVING NO MARK
Art is fakery, a lie," begins Leaving No Mark: Prolegomena to an Evanescent Art. In this striking essay, one by one, Donal McGraith dismantles our fundamental assumptions about Western art; especially that it consists of static works of originality and rare genius. Such views of art, as a specialized activity, are the basis for its academic study and the foundation of the multi-billion dollar art market. In particular in discussing, copies, fakes and reproductions he destroys the foundation for aesthetic uniqueness. This fallacy has given rise to a "cult of personality" and a "prison house of style," whose only purpose to inflate the art market. The so-called original operates in a similar mystifying way to the religious relic, the value lies less in aesthetic quality but only in the notion, more often untrue as fakes abound, that the 'genius' has touched the object. McGraith seeks to reclaim art as the lived expression of our creativity urging that we not direct these impulses into forms that can be quickly turned into commodities. Like Navajo sand painting or the ceilidh, such endeavours would soon be lost to time. Other strategies supporting an evanescent approach are developed in a section entitled, "Anonymity, Pseudonymity & Polynymity." Donal McGraith is the author of The Wild and the Free: Shane, Rousseau, Hippies. also published by Charivari Press. He has produced a number of articles on music and art for the magazines Musicworks and Sub Rosa. His seminal essay 'Anti-Copyright and Cassette Culture' was included in Sound By Artists. McGraith's provocative views, unsettling to those who benefit from high art, are clearly on display in Leaving No Mark. "A more interesting polemic that takes a run at the history of contemporary art and underground music id Donal McGraith's 'Anti-Copyright and Cassette Culture.'" -Clive Robertson, Fuse, Winter 1991.
