After establishing Madrid Abierto’s archive in Matadero Madrid, available for consultation after previous request (91 517 12 33, archive@mataderomadrid.com), an exhibit has been organized (founded on 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 director, Jorge Díez. To close the event, Raquel Pelta will speak with Aitor Menéndez about the relationship between graphic design and modern art.
