`I conceived this work as a whole, as a project and in its presentation to the public. This project is the result of a process of ten years of work, a reflection on the system of art, a system that has been created by a (capitalist) society in a specific context and from a Western viewpoint. Evidently, it is also the result of my personal, subjective reflection on the world of art, its system and the various roles in force in a context that emerged in the early 1980s. Finally, the content has to do with the interpretation, the mediation and, on occasion, the manipulation of the work, by the people and the institutions who help to onterpret, present, denfend and `take care`of the work of artists.
(…) A metaphor of the overall system on which art is based, but also an analysis of the various parts of which it is comprised.` (Muntadas, 1994)
Second volume of Col-leccio de la Col-leccio, an editorial line of the MACBA that showcases works or groups of works by artists that play an important role in the MACBA collection.
