<p>Until the 19<sup>th</sup> of February 2012, <strong>MAPFRE Foundation</strong> will exhibit a retrospective of the photographer <strong>Gotthard</strong> <strong>Schuh.</strong> The exhibition presented at the newly remodeled Azca showroom is organized with the collaboration of Fotostiftung Schweiz, owner of the photographs.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="gotthard shuh madrid" src="http://www.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/3928/gotthard-schuh-madrid.jpg" alt="gotthard schuh madrid" width="500" height="540" /></p>
<p>The director of Fotostiftung Schweiz, Peter Pfunder, curates the exhibition. Among the 113 photographs that make up the sample, 93 belong to <strong>Gotthard</strong> <strong>Schuh.</strong> These photos were taken between 1929 and 1956. Werner Bischof, Robert Frank, René Groebli and Jakob Tuggener, all of them, members of the distinguished Swiss Kollegium of photographers in the 50s, took the other twenty photographs.</p>
<p>Although his parents were Swiss, <strong>Gotthard</strong> <strong>Schuh</strong> was born in Berlin in 1879. His main contribution to the art world was the creation of <strong>poetic realism</strong> that revolutionized <strong>photography</strong> and European photographers in the twentieth century. He started his career as a painter, but in 1930 he interrupted his promising career to devote himself to his passion for photo images.</p>
<p>Schuh was actively involved in the aesthetic changes that occur during the late twenties in the photograph. Like many other great photographers, he found in the <strong>photojournalism</strong> the opportunity to carry out his experiences in the field of imaging. It is in this area, where speed and charm of reality produce a multiplicity of situations captured with the camera, which together produce great and interesting works. He worked as a photographer for prestigious publications like Paris Match, Life, Berlin Illustrite, among others.</p>
<p>Paris attracted him, because the city matched his hectic life. He worked with the lights and shadows of the city, while capturing with his camera, everything what the common eye misses, developing what is called <strong>poetic realism,</strong> which is related to capture the subjectivity implicit in a situation to display bare emotions and the psychology of the characters and the density of the environments in a single image.</p>
<p>In 1941 he was appointed photo editor of the newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung. This opened him a window, both to his work, as well as to other emerging photographers internationally known as Robert Frank or the Hungarian Gyula Halász, better known as Brassaï. From that moment, his works began to be structured in more complex ways, giving life to his book Islands of the Gods, which was published on his 11 months touring Bali, Singapore, Sumatra and Java.</p>
<p>His constant struggle to give the <strong>photography</strong> a prominent place among other arts, led him to participate in the formation of the Kollegium Schweizerischer Photographen, through he sought to position the <strong>photography</strong> as a proper expression of arts, since it works primarily in aesthetics, requires a long creative process and creates a tension in the viewer. Many photographers enrolled in the Kollegium, including a host of top Swiss photographers who accompany Schuh&#8217;s work in this retrospective of his work, for  the first time presented in Spain.</p>

<p>The exhibition organized around videos and photographic material that&#8217;s owned by the <strong>Martin</strong> Z. Marguiles fund collection in Miami, and it&#8217;s set up on 150 photographs and five <strong>audiovisuals</strong> that belong to 50 authors. Through them they explore the way that mankind lives on the earth, its interaction with it and the way that he has altered nature to satisfy his emotions, everyday life, survival needs and beliefs.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="martin margulies barcelona" src="http://www.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/3871/martin-margulies-barcelona.jpg" alt="martin &lt;b&gt;margulies&lt;/b&gt; barcelona" width="500" height="366" /></p>
<p>The exhibition was titled taking one of the last poems by the German lyrical writer Friedrich Hölderlin, who dedicated the last years of his life to read Hyperion and his vision on the balance of the stars and the movement of the sun. Based on those thoughts, in his last poems he deals with thinking aspects, who is said to have influenced Hegel and the development of the concept of dialectics.</p>
<p>From those thoughts and investigating the collection of <strong>Martin</strong> Z. Marguiles, it was possible to generate the main concept of this exhibition and, for that, they created three sections that gather each of the main concepts as: Being in the World, existence of Fluxes, signs and symbols, building, living, mapping. A true space for thought and contemporary outlook on the world.</p>
<p>Martin Z. <strong>Margulies</strong> began his collection in 1976, led by a passion for beauty and human creation. His first work in the collection was the work by Isamu Noguchi, until he managed to gather one of the most important collections of contemporary <strong>art</strong> in the world, with American and European artists.</p>
<p>The <strong>photography</strong> collection of <strong>Margulies</strong> is renown as one of the top 25 in the world. Many experts, critics and gallery owners consider that it&#8217;s one of the best in its field. An important part of its paintings and sculptures are located in his house in Florida, in Key Biscayne, United States.</p>
<p>To preserve the collection of photographs, videoinstallations and sculptures of great size, an interesting rescue plan was developed for an industrial warehouse that was abandoned in 1999, in the <strong>art</strong> district of Wynwood in Miami, where they&#8217;re preserved to develop didactic activities.</p>
<p>Among the authors we can find James Casebere, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Lee Friedlander and Ed Ruscha, whose works are moving due to the metaphysical exploration on the action of mankind on the planet and nature.</p>

<p>Until the 26th of February, the exhibition &#8216;Cézanne et Paris&#8217; will be open at the Musée du Luxembourg. The exhibition is organized with the collaboration of the <strong>Petit Palais</strong> and the Fine Arts Museum of the City of <strong>Paris.</strong> it gathers close to 80 works that come from different collections from around the world to explore the great subjects that Cézanne worked on, such as <strong>Paris,</strong> nudity, portraits and still life.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/3797/cezanne-paris.jpg" alt="cezanne-paris" width="500" height="233" /></p>
<p>The exhibition, commissioned by Gilles Chazal, the director of the <strong>Petit Palais</strong> and Maryline Assante di Panzillo, curator of the Department of Paintings of the <strong>Petit Palais,</strong> tries to show a Cézanne that is actively looking to defy both tradition and modernity.</p>
<p>Paul Cézanne was born in Aix en Provence in 1839. Son of a bourgeois family, whose father was a wealthy banker, his studies took place in Bourbon College, where he established a close relation with Émile Zola. Despite his love for drawing and <strong>painting,</strong> he registered in the Law School to satisfy his father&#8217;s expectations. But his passion was stronger and he dropped out to fulfill his vocation.</p>
<p>His first studio was organized in his family&#8217;s country house and, by 1861, he moved to <strong>Paris,</strong> financially supported by his family. In <strong>Paris</strong> he met Zola again, and he signed up at the Swiss Academy to manage to pass the entry exam to the Fine Arts Academy. In his first incursion at the Louvre Museum, he was astounded by the works of Velázquez and Caravaggio, who marked his paintings.</p>
<p>He went back to Aix en Provence to work with his father for a short period of time and after he went back to <strong>Paris,</strong> set on continuing his studies in the Swiss Academy, where he met Pissarro and Guillaumin, who strongly influenced his work by liberating him from the aesthetic strictness of the academy.</p>
<p>In the Salon d&#8217;Automne of 1886, he presented his paintings for the first time, but was rejected. This would repeat itself on various occasions, without him ever abandoning <strong>painting,</strong> despite the deep frustration due to the rejection and the critique of his work, that obviously provoked this disappointment in him.</p>
<p>Annoyed with the art circle in <strong>Paris,</strong> he went to live with the model Hortense Fiquet to L&#8217;Estanque, where he developed prolific work, made up with landscapes and still life, made in natural sceneries just like <strong>impressionism</strong> demanded.</p>
<p>His return to <strong>Paris</strong> would be shaped by his landscape work at Louveciennes, but it would take until 1895 until he received recognition, when the <strong>art</strong> critic and merchant Ambroise Vollard organized a successful exhibition of his work, and <strong>Paris</strong> fell in love with him. In 1904, the Salon D&#8217;Automne was dedicated to his pictorial work. Two years later, Cézanne died, leaving behind an open wound in <strong>art</strong> avant-gardes.</p>
<p>His work opened the door to fauvists and cubists and it inspired surrealists such as Picasso, Dérain and Braque, among many others.</p>

<p>Until the 4th of March, Arts Santa Mònica in <strong>Barcelona</strong> has opened the <strong>exhibition</strong> <strong>Invisible</strong> <strong>Fields.</strong> Geographies of the <strong>radio</strong> waves. (&#8216;Campos Invisibles. Geografías de las ondas de radio&#8217; in Spanish). The <strong>exhibition</strong> addresses the outlook of technique and science from conceptual <strong>art,</strong> and it&#8217;s produced by Plataforma Cero, Centro de Investigación, Producción y Recursos de LABoral.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="invisible fields barcelona" src="http://www.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/3798/invisible-fields-barcelona.jpg" alt="invisible &lt;b&gt;fields&lt;/b&gt; barcelona" width="500" height="324" /></p>
<p>The <strong>exhibition</strong> is commissioned by Honor Harger and José Luís de Vicente, and it looks to shed light on the imaginable landscape that&#8217;s built from <strong>radio</strong> waves. For that, they&#8217;ve designed an interdisciplinary work platform that analyzes through sociologic optics what <strong>culture</strong> and social change encompasses, scientific <strong>communication</strong> and artistic practice.</p>
<p>The <strong>exhibition</strong> includes works by the artists Trevor Plagen, Thomas Ashcraft, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Anthony DeVicenzi, Timo Arnall, Joyce Hinterding, Job Ramos, Semiconductor, Matthew Biederman, Clara Boj y Diego Díaz, Rasa Smite &amp; Raitis Smits (RIXC), Luthiers Drapaires, Irdial Records, Guifi.net, Luthiers Drapaires and Plataforma Cero LABoral.</p>
<p>From the appearance of <strong>radio</strong> in 1897, when Marconi installed the first <strong>radio</strong> transmission in the Isle of Wight, up until today, a lot of water has gone under bridge. <strong>Radio</strong> began as a non-profitable technological scientific crusade and only man&#8217;s dreams were involved to change the natural barriers of <strong>communication.</strong> Shortly after it became a way to transmit more complex messages and bring the events that were taking place to its most immediate environment. <strong>Radio,</strong> together with the telephone and later the teletype, were inventions that managed to unite continents and turn communications into something instantaneous during the 20th century. Thanks to it, the events of WW2 and the great historical landmarks that shaped mankind were got to be known live.</p>
<p>However, we don&#8217;t know much about what&#8217;s behind the <strong>radio</strong> and how do those waves are transmitted through the atmosphere. We also don&#8217;t know how a <strong>radio</strong> works and what interests it has behind it. We also don&#8217;t know how much it has actually influenced us in our behaviour and in the actual form of society but we do admit that nobody can be without it and that it&#8217;s part of our everyday customs.</p>
<p>Also, this interesting exhibition has given way to the making of a series of <strong>workshops</strong> that Arts Santa Mònica has organized with Plataforma Cero de LABoral. David Pello is in charge of an introduction to the world of satellite <strong>technology,</strong> while Pedro Soler and Joanna Griffin will explore imaginary space and the <strong>satellites</strong> through its stories, names and origins, as well as how the future is shaping up for these space intruders. The activist and investigator Alejandro Duque will show his critique vision on <strong>satellites</strong> and will show how to trace them down, hack into them and decode the secrets that they have inside.</p>

<p>Until the 5th of February 2012, <strong>La Virreina Centre de la Imatge</strong> in <strong>Barcelona</strong> presents a great retrospective exhibition with the photographic work of the 20th century avant-garde French artist <strong>Claude</strong> <strong>Cahun.</strong> The exhibition is organized by the Jeu de Paume in Paris and co-produced by <strong>La Virreina Centre de la Imatge</strong> and The <strong>Art</strong> Institute of Chicago.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/3624/claude-cahun-barcelona.jpg" alt="claude cahun barcelona" width="500" height="497" /></p>
<p>At the same time as the exhibition, La Virreina has made a series of activities which show the avant-garde character of <strong>Cahun</strong> and highlight the current effect of its aesthetic proposals with the contemporary discourses of the <strong>Queer</strong> theory, which poses sexuality as the result of a social construction, not biological, rejecting all the categories built from hegemonic vision, such as homosexuality, transsexuality, etc. due to their restriction of <strong>culture</strong> which underlies in these categorizations.</p>
<p>Among these activities, on the 10th of January there&#8217;ll be the conference &#8216;Paris was a woman&#8217; and on Thursday the 19th of January 2012, the conference &#8216;Surrealism (Y) Queer&#8217;, and both will begin at 7pm at Espai 4.</p>
<p>In the Sala Xavier Miserachs they will screen the film &#8216;Playing a Part: the story of <strong>Claude</strong> Cahun&#8217; by Lizzie Thynne. The film was made with previously unseen images and follows the surreal aesthetic of <strong>Cahun.</strong> It&#8217;s made with images from archives from different times, interviews to critics such as David Bate, Elisabeth Lebovici and Ann Caws that refer to the importance of <strong>Cahun</strong> in <strong>art,</strong> as well as interviews to people who knew her who give account of anecdotes of her life.</p>
<p>Lucy Renée Mathilde Schwob, <strong>Claude</strong> Cahun&#8217;s real name, was born in Nantes (France) in 1894 in a culturally refined atmosphere which brought her to opt to concentrate on literature and image, adopting the pseudonym in honour of her great-uncle Leon <strong>Cahun.</strong> Her outlook on the world, from the liberation of body and spirit, brought her to be conflictive in her time and equally ignored by the most important <strong>art</strong> circles.</p>
<p>At 26 years of age she moved to Paris with her partner Suzanne Malherbe, the real name of Marcel Moore, and began as a columnist of &#8216;Mercure de France&#8217;. During that period she mixed fundamentally with writers linked with <strong>dadaism</strong> and surrealism.</p>
<p>Parallel to writing and theatre, <strong>Cahun</strong> worked on <strong>photography</strong> and, in 1929, her images were first published in the magazine &#8216;Bifur&#8217;. A year later she published her autobiographical book &#8216;Aveux non avenus&#8217;, which she illustrated with photomontages.</p>
<p>Cahun participated in all political and trade union activities of the time, being an active militant of the Association of Revolutionary Writers and Artists, where she participated next to Breton and Bataille, with whom she would start the magazine &#8216;Contre Attaque&#8217;. During the Second World War she participated in anti-nazi actions with the Resistance, being arrested in the process.</p>
<p>Despite her work not being recognized during her lifetime, <strong>Cahun</strong> is today a reference of 20th century <strong>surrealism</strong> and avant-garde, as well as the new struggles linked to <strong>Queer</strong> politics.</p>

<p>In Barcelona, like in every other big city in the world, it sometimes happens that certain neighbourhoods (those that didn&#8217;t usually get a lot of attention) suddenly generate a lot of interest. So, the citizens of the city begin to slowly move there and, at the same time, they also begin to generate a cultural movement which didn&#8217;t exist previously. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s been happening lately in the neighbourhood of Poble Sec, located in the southwest of Barcelona. In the last few years, actually, more than half a dozen cultural and artistic spaces have opened there, which have generated activities, exhibitions, workshops and competitions in a place which used to be a lot more calm, almost bereft, and definitely more external of Barcelona&#8217;s active life.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="art puree barcelona" src="http://www.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/3564/art-puree-barcelona.jpg" alt="art puree barcelona" width="500" height="375" /></span></p>
<p>And so, after the already known cultural centre &#8216;La Margarita&#8217;, located in the street with the same name on number 48, recognizable by a beautiful tree-door which characterizes it, a few weeks ago they inaugurated a new space from the previous &#8216;la Purée&#8217; project, previously located on the same Margarit street at number 40, which has now moved to 46. This new space, which is still referred to with its previous project name, will be called &#8216;La Antorcha&#8217; (the torch). The reason behind this is, as its manager Edu says, to give people a meeting point which never goes out and that, just like a torch, &#8220;will always be lit&#8221;. It&#8217;s a compromise not only with art and culture but especially with the very neighbourhood of Poble Sec. The idea which La Antorcha promotes is to give the community of the neighbourhood a space to express themselves, show their art and get to know the work of other artists, or simply just to meet up. This way, the neighbourhood gains a previously unknown lifestyle.</p>
<p>&#8216;La Antorcha&#8217; was inaugurated with the exhibition &#8216;Carte du Bruit&#8217;, by the French photographer Olga Zmick, that can still be visited. It&#8217;s a selection of photographs taken during her routes around queer Barcelona in the last five years. With her work she explores the limits of the body and the deep relation that exists between desire and the city (especially the city of Barcelona!).</p>
<p>Another activity which takes place on Fridays is the autumn audiovisual cycle on the music which was banned in different times and in different places around the world. For winter, &#8216;La Antorcha&#8217; proposes &#8216;Megaparchises Tuyú&#8217; by Carlos Piqueras, which will bring his interactive and psychedelic ludo games all the way from Madrid. It&#8217;s a table game which has to be completed with four chips, making them reach the centre of the table throwing the dice. The programme also foresees the participation of Aingeru Rincón and Steven Forster with &#8216;Rural legends&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8216;La Antorcha&#8217;, just like &#8216;la Purée&#8217; is loyal to its old compromise with political art focused on gender subjects.

<p>&#8216;Divided <strong>Heaven.</strong> 1945-1968. The Collection. is one of the most interesting exhibitions at the <strong>Neue Nationalgalerie</strong> in <strong>Berlin</strong> of a peak period of <strong>history</strong> in Germany and the world, where <strong>art</strong> is influenced by the accumulation of consecutive events that would change the world&#8217;s geopolitical physiognomy. This <strong>exhibition</strong> is the continuation of a project that in its first stage was called &#8216;Modern Times&#8217;, and it covered the development of <strong>art</strong> from 1900 to 1945.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="divided heaven berlin" src="http://www.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/3493/divided-heaven-berlin.jpg" alt="divided &lt;b&gt;heaven&lt;/b&gt; berlin" width="500" height="297" /></p>
<p>The title of the <strong>exhibition</strong> &#8216;Divided Heaven&#8217; is taken from a novel by the German writer Christa Wolf, published in 1963, which was about the social problems in the German Democriatic Republic through a couple who go back to East <strong>Berlin</strong> a few days before the construction of the wall begins. This novel won the Heinrich Mann Award and was translated into various languages.</p>
<p>Echoing this novel and the human meaning that politics had in thousands of people who were captured by each regime, the <strong>exhibition</strong> tries to show that the imposed barrieres were broken by the vision of artists from both sides of ideological barriers, juxtaposing styles and aesthetic trends further than contemporaneity.</p>
<p>The period of time that this <strong>exhibition</strong> covers is from 1945 to 1968, which refers to the end of the Second World War and May of 1968, the great social protests which arose in the world. During this lapse of time, the Vietnam War took place, man went into space and on the Moon, they built the <strong>Berlin</strong> Wall and there was the Cuban missile crisis; in few words, the world went through great convulsions which didn&#8217;t leave out the creation of artists and these got involved in this fight for the human condition.</p>
<p>For this <strong>exhibition,</strong> six artists got together: Wilhelm Lachnit, Ernst  Wilhelm Nay, <strong>Sigmar Polke,</strong> Werner Tübke, Georg Baselitz and Renato Guttuso. Through their works they make the narration of &#8216;Divided <strong>Heaven.</strong> 1945-1968. The Collection&#8217;.</p>
<p>Wilhelm Lachnit (1899-1962) is present with his work &#8216;Jointed Puppet&#8217; from 1948. Lachnit was an active militant of the Communist Party and an independent artist. His pictorical work reminisces of early expressionism, which is notorious in &#8216;Jointed Puppet&#8217;, both for the use of colours, the texutre and the style, which reminds us of Picasso&#8217;s first stage. In 1933, Lachnit&#8217;s work was considered as degenerate <strong>art</strong> by the Nazis and his works were confiscated and he was arrested.</p>
<p>Ernst Wilhelm Nay was a German artist who had a long artistic career which began in 1921 when he began to paint. In 1925 he began to study with Karl Hofer from the Berliner Akademie. During those years he studied the works of Picasso, Matisse and Kichner. In the 1960s the moved to abstract art.</p>
<p>Sigmar Polke (1941-2010) had the singularity of having the enormous capacity of experimenting styles, but his subjects were always centered in political and social events of the 20th century, which is inscribed in his work &#8216;Dublin&#8217;, which reflects the Irish conflict.</p>

<div class="topsy_widget_data topsy_theme_blue" style="float: right;margin-left: 0.75em; background: url(data:,%7B%20%22url%22%3A%20%22http%253A%252F%252Fwww.blogonlyapartments.com%252Fdelacroix-caixa-forum-madrid%252F%22%2C%20%22shorturl%22%3A%20%22http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FvXzNU3%22%2C%20%22style%22%3A%20%22big%22%2C%20%22title%22%3A%20%22Delacroix%20at%20the%20Caixa%20Forum%20in%20Madrid%22%20%7D);"></div>
<p>The need to revise classic <strong>painting</strong> today serves as a trail to understand how the outlooks that we had and have articulate still on some key political factors, especially understanding that the work and its processes are already paused, or even, frozen in the matter of the object, which don&#8217;t have more to give unless they&#8217;re physically intervened by other characters. This will never happen to a Picasso, Rembrandt, Manet or <strong>Delacroix.</strong> Let&#8217;s say, there&#8217;s no way to have carte blanche to intervene the <strong>works</strong> that are, as of today, classics of painting.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="delacroix caixa forum madrid" src="http://www.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/3514/delacroix-caixa-forum-madrid.jpg" alt="delacroix &lt;b&gt;caixa&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;forum&lt;/b&gt; madrid" width="500" height="389" /></p>
<p>We&#8217;re then left with manipulating the look if we can&#8217;t manipulate the work, recognizing that everything is invented in all arts, but that our explorations, interpretations and perspectives are the ones that change. Once a work of <strong>art</strong> is accomplished, they unleash it to the world and, facing the world, it doesn&#8217;t do more than sustain itself in a long corridor of mirrors which self-reflect facing oblivion. There isn&#8217;t a mistaken interpretation but there are different resources with every generation to deal with the <strong>works</strong> of <strong>art</strong> in another way, and manipulate them with discourses.</p>
<p>The <strong>exhibition</strong> of <strong>Delacroix</strong> at the <strong>Caixa</strong> <strong>Forum</strong> is an interesting chance to get to know closely the work of this important painter. As well as some classic pieces, we have to mention a series of engravings on the story of <strong>Faust.</strong> In these images, <strong>Delacroix</strong> unravels the story of Dr <strong>Faust</strong> and his efforts to conquer <strong>Margaret.</strong> Maybe these are some of the most interesting pieces of the whole <strong>exhibition,</strong> because they show with great detail the precision of the drawings of <strong>Delacroix</strong> and his huge symbolism. Also, the <strong>exhibition</strong> at <strong>Caixa</strong> <strong>Forum</strong> presents different notes from bigger paintings; exercises in progress, drawings, stains, paintings and volumes where you can get to see closer and better the processes of the artist.</p>
<p>In this sense, maybe the mistake of the <strong>exhibition</strong> is that they only present annotations without their original counterparts. Having a perspective of the progress of creation of the artist is undoubtedly essential to get to know his interests and aesthetics better. However, without the end product of these exercises, it&#8217;s a bit difficult to have better understanding of the aforementioned process.</p>
<p>Any <strong>exhibition,</strong> <strong>museum</strong> or <strong>gallery,</strong> is an ideal space to understand the mechanisms of <strong>contemporary</strong> <strong>art,</strong> classic <strong>art</strong> or ancient <strong>art.</strong> The disposal of the <strong>works</strong> in the space also calls for attention on the interests of the <strong>museum,</strong> the loans made, their origin and the history of the object itself and its translations, which in these cases is pretty important to take into account.

<p>On the 21<sup>st</sup> of December the electronic <strong>pop</strong> band <em>Junior Boys</em> will offer a <strong>concert</strong> at the Penelope room in <strong>Madrid.</strong> This <strong>concert</strong> by these Canadian musicians in Spain, is part of the end-of-the-year touring. They come with the best their repertoire to delight their fans.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/3508/junior-boys-madrid.jpg" alt="junior boys madrid" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p><em>Junior Boys</em>, is the duo of Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark. Originally from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, they began in 1999 the musical adventure of creating a sound that would unleash a sophisticated style of electro-pop <strong>music.</strong> After years of work, adverse situations, failures, twists and turns, they managed to create a good demo and distribute it up to the <em>KIN Records</em> 2002. What they saw in that demo was the creative and musical quality that has led them to be among the best known bands of <strong>electro.</strong> But Johnny Dark resigned from the duo for consider it an economic failure and was Jeremy who continue the <strong>Junior</strong> Boys’ journey alone.</p>
<p>A meeting with the engineer Matt Didemus, led Jeremy to create new songs that he gathered in an album, famous for its perfection in sound and tone. In 2003 they surprised the <strong>music</strong> market with their album <em>Birthday Last Exit</em>.</p>
<p>The following year they released a new album <em>High Come Down</em>, which reaffirmed their ability to work with the creation of a quality product, two successful albums in a row. While keeping on working, they launched a new edition of that album with <em>Manitoba (caribou)</em> with whom they have embarked on several tours.</p>
<p>During mid-2006 they released the remix <em>The Loving Sounds of Statics</em> of the <em>Mobius Band</em>. In this album the <em>Idol</em> <em>Tryouts2 </em>compilation appeared, and the song <em>Ghostly International</em>, songs that have marked the road map of this group in the electro-pop scene.</p>
<p>Their next album, <em>So This Is Goodbye</em> was successfully launched in August 2006 by the Records label. Creativity has been a constant in the history of <em>Junior Boys</em>, that they even created a video contest among their fans for the album&#8217;s release. The idea was that the video creators used  their creations with any song soundtrack from the album and the winner won a thousand dollars in cash.</p>

<p>Between the 15th and 16th of December, the Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> Museum of <strong>Barcelona</strong> (MACBA) will open its doors to debate and thought on the neoliberal model and its penetration into the private world, with the seminar &#8216;On credit, self-esteem and sharing*: Introduction to the neoliberal condition&#8217;, where <strong>Michel Feher</strong> will participate and the philosopher <strong>Beatriz</strong> <strong>Preciado</strong> will be moderator.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="beatriz preciado barcelona" src="http://www.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/3427/beatriz-preciado-barcelona.jpg" alt="beatriz &lt;b&gt;preciado&lt;/b&gt; barcelona" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>The <strong>MACBA,</strong> following its line of language archeology, bio-political representation and the external map of emerging <strong>social conflicts,</strong> has looked to concentrate the reasoning of intellectuals around the pressing subjects in the <strong>public agenda,</strong> such as the <strong>crisis</strong> of neoliberalism.</p>
<p>Since the 18th century, economists and power have gone hand in hand. Adam Smith, who was a philosopher and from there observed the relations of exchanges between human beings, perfecting his concept of exchanging economic values in transactions, sustaining that wealth came from work, and that this had a function in creation and accumulation of wealth, creating the first scientific work on the factors which move the economy.</p>
<p>From there onwards, the economy was used to justify the accumulation of wealth and exploitation on the basis of precarious work. Despite this construction of an economic ordering which oppresses human freedom and the right to a happy life, there are segments which move around in the margins of society, learning how to improve their exchange systems with other human beings.</p>
<p>This reproduction is given in a virtuous way in the exchange of <strong>affections</strong> in the intimate space, a place which is organized through exchanges where there are no interests, on the contrary, there is complimentarity between couples and where an affectionate exchange flows which is the substrate of a society based on total equity.</p>
<p>The philosopher <strong>Michel Feher,</strong> the editor who founded Zone Books and who is a columnist specialized on political and economical subjects, will talk about this complex subjects which masks the subject and society. Feher is also the author of &#8216;Powerless by Design: The Age of the International Community&#8217; (2000) and co-editor of &#8216;Nongovernmental Politics&#8217; (2007), with Gaëlle Krikorian and Yates McKee.</p>
<p>His socio-political thesis are a theoretical revolution, because it starts from the basis that everything transforms from the inside. His critique to the left which aspires to a humanized capitalism, like those who aspire to knock down capitalism, is based in that both look to make changes from an external position, without going into the internal space.</p>
<p>Feher risks defying <strong>neoliberalism</strong> from its insides, and for that he takes the feminist movement and its conquests, who defied hegemonic thought with the same arguments which generated its domination, but deconstructing to decolonize and reinvent its own lifestyle, which includes all those who opted for a free sexuality. Feher says that the transformations of women and femininity in the public space in previous decades made changes in social, economic and political relations.</p>
