[ARTNOTES] 20_08

In view of this new season, we can find some new things but also the memory of the winter. Everything seems to come back to life, and intentions seem to be renewed (again); and just to say something more, we already have a blossoming matter: the TEA in Tenerife announces the selection process for the position of Artistic Director. Will democracy start to appear at art centres? Should we be worried about the person choosing those who chose? Let’s wait, see and enjoy in the meantime. May 18 is the international day of museums, like every year; this year the ICOM announces it with the motto “Museums, the agents of the social change and development”, and for the first time there will be activities organized in the Internet. Among them we can stand out the one by the Tech Museum of Innovation in California (USA) representing a semblance of the installations by means of Second Life, the digital platform. Regarding art fairs, we can mention the new and renewed, at least in the name, FEMACO (previously MACO, April 23-27), in Mexico DF, in which Art Notes will be present again with its editorial project. In April we can also talk about Art Chicago 2008 (April 25-28), ArtBrussels (April 18-21, in which ART NOTES also takes part), and here in Spain, LOOP (May 8-10). Just a suggestion for the new management team, apart from trying to satisfy those who have felt dissatisfied with the last event and its temporary character: When will our ARCO learn something from the pragmatism and effectiveness of the international fairs? Just a final and curious piece of information regarding the influence of art in the media and people, the attractiveness: Mallorca’s cathedral increased the number of visitors and profits (ticket: 4€) from the staging of Miquel Barceló’s mural with an amount of 900.000 visitors so far. It’s a fact.
