The Antimuseo is a curatorial project experiencing on the legitimation mechanisms of the artwork. Our research focuses on the social process that produces the symbolic and economic value of the artwork, as well as the analysis of the structure and limits of the art institution.



In the first stage (92/94), with the name of Ojo Atómico, we developed a site-specific program in a former factory in Madrid. In the second (95/2000) without its own place, the site-specific program moved to different environments: empty locals, private homes, public spaces... In the third stage (2003/07), based in an old warehouse in Madrid, we began to systematically investigate on models of participation, and to contextualize the art work in specific social issues. This exhibition space closed in 2007, and then Antimuseum was focussed on projects in public space, as the program of the Portable Contemporary Art Center, Mexico City 2009, or the exhibition Hand by Hand with General Cardenas, Mexico City 2011, consisting in a series of site specific works at the monument to this president.
 The new structure of our Web site show these projects in Praxis, a separate category from Archive section where there are registered all other exposures and activities.

In Theory we present the analysis of projects using text and videos, thoughts on Antimuseo or autonomous proposals, such as Ttras los Signos en Rotación. In the near future we plan to initiate a critical review of the work of the peruvian art critic Juan Acha. This section is not available in english at the moment.
