the archive) which intends to provide a comprehensive view of Madrid
Abierto’s editions since 2004. We will also present The death of
Videoman by Fernando Llanos and Weird tourism by Iñaki Larrimbe and his
Unofficial Tourism group, projects which were developed in Madrid
Abierto’s 2008 and 2010 editions. Artist Susanne Bosch and the Democracy
group will discuss useful art. We will also present the Madrid Abierto
2009-2010 publication as well as the recorded conversation of artists
Isidoro Valcárcel Medina and Santiago Sierra with Madrid Abierto’s
