Accions Àcrates

This experimental publication researches on abandoned military and policial buildings in the area of Lleida, Catalonia.  The edition contains eight posters attached with fasteners. The piece can be read as a giant magazine or be separated and displayed in an exhibition. The photographs are a documentation of an action performed on the building’s facade. The same banner with the Spanish word “autoridad” [autority] it’s hanged inverted on the door of each building. In order to read the word, the viewer is forced to turn around the picture, executing an iconoclastic action of presenting the building’s image reversed. The back side of the posters contains some research about the history of the buildings and the other uses of the buildings related to culture. One of them was squatted and used as a social center, another one has become a frequent spot for graffiti artists, and other of them has been transformed into a protestant church.

It has been published by Roca Umbert fàbrica de les arts.
