This article is the first in a series of reflections in which our main objective is the recovery of space that should never lose women. We review those heroines women in a misogynist society, who have been influential thinkers in the creative work of contemporary art. This text is dedicated to Saint Teresa of Jesus, a heroine, in whom many artists have set their sights as a benchmark for empowerment and they have directed their work toward mysticism, creating a connection between art and spirituality. We collect a selection of artists who have used the mystical, pain, purple, silence, visions, and finally, ecstasy, in their creative process, to give voice to a gender problem in this society and to work in the struggle for the recovery of a space that had always belonged to women. Artists who, through their work, claim a place in a society culturally articulated by man. They are a clear example of what we have called heroines women in a misogynist society.

This is the second article of a whole series of reflections in which our main objective is to recover the space that the women should never have lost. In them we review those heroines, combatants in a misogynistic society, who have been influential thinkers in the creative work developed by contemporary women artists. This article is centered on the figure of Hildegard von Bingen, a versatile and visionary nun, who left her legacy in different disciplines such as writing, painting, music, science, among others. A heroine, in which many artists have set their sights as a benchmark for empowerment and have directed their artistic work towards mysticism, generating a connection between art and spirituality. We collect a selection of artists who have used mysticism, silence and visions in their creative process to give voice to a gender problem in this society and to work in the fight for the recovery of a space that should always have belonged to the woman. Artists who, through their work, claim a place in a phallocentric society. Hildegard is a clear example of what we call female heroines in a misogynistic society.

Starting from Genette’s (1987) notion of ‘paratext’, which is the foundation of Yuste’s (2015) theory of ‘paratranslation’, this paper will analyse what happens, as far as the viewer’s experience is concerned, when an art work presents textual elements in a language different from the viewer’s language. To this end, we will identify the verbal elements included in works exhibited in art fairs, paying special attention to the International Contemporary Art Fair of Madrid (arco), and will analyse the adequacy of the translator’s figure in events of this sort. From a selection of works in which text forms part of the visual experience, either because it constitutes a fundamental part of them or because it results in the whole work, we will reflect on the different possible strategies to make them accessible to the viewer, allowing a complete experience of the work.

Este artículo explora las características de la intervención curatorial feminista a partir del análisis de un caso de estudio: la exposición Yo, la peor de todas, comisariada por su autora. Se articula en torno a una reflexión crítica sobre las distintas estrategias que se pusieron en marcha en este proyecto. Primero, tergiversar un encargo inicial de la institución, que pedía una exposición de mujeres artistas para cumplir con la cuota de lo políticamente correcto. Segundo, profundizar en la cita, entendida como encuentro afectivo y como práctica de reconocimiento, pero también como estrategia artística y curatorial feminista. Finalmente, se interroga sobre las propias condiciones de existencia de la práctica curatorial feminista en el contexto del arte contemporáneo, donde predominan formas de trabajo precarizadas y modos neoliberales de entender los afectos que invisibilizan y denostan los trabajos de cuidado. AbstractThis article explores the characteristics of feminist curatorial intervention based on the analysis of a case study: the exhibition Yo, la peor de todas, curated by myself. It begins with a critical reflection on the different strategies that were implemented in this project. First, to shift an initial commission from the institution that asked for an exhibition of women artists to meet the quota of political correctness. Second, to deepen in the notion of cite, understood as an affective encounter and as a practice of recognition and as an artistic and curatorial feminist strategy. Finally, it questions the very conditions of existence of feminist curatorial practice in the context of contemporary art, where precarious forms of work and neoliberal modes of understanding affects predominate, denigrating care work and rendering it invisible.

Este artículo repasa la historia de las exposiciones de mujeres en España desde los años treinta, como precedente de las primeras exposiciones feministas de los años noventa, contextualizándolas en su momento político. Profundiza en algunos de los proyectos comisariados por la autora, en los que rescata a artistas ignoradas por las historias del arte contemporáneo, especialmente las artistas Pop de los años sesenta, como pioneras del arte feminista.AbstractThis essay examines the history of women’s exhibitions in Spain since the 1930s, considering said shows as a precedent for the first feminist exhibitions in the 1990s, and providing them with a context within their political time. This text delves in some of the projects curated by the author, in which she rescued a number of women artists who had been ignored by the usual histories of contemporary art –especially the female Pop artists from the 1970s– as pioneers of feminist art.

IMPORTING TEXTS FROM ABROAD Editors’ reuse of foreign historical texts in Dutch periodicals, 1780-1860 This article explores the ways in which the editors of five Dutch history journals and three magazines for general circulation copied historical texts from abroad, between 1780 and 1860. By comparing original texts with reprinted versions, we show that the editors’ work involved not only ‘passive’ duplication (reprinting in full), but also more active forms of intervention, from the selection of text fragments to their translation, modification or critical review. These varied editorial practices point to a broader creative process through which historical knowledge was tailored to an emerging and nationally-oriented academic audience. Editors here assumed the role of mediators, gatekeepers even in the sense that their judgment determined the very choice of texts. At a time when the study of history was evolving at both the national and international level, and when the relationship between actors making up the disciplinary field was also in flux, editors thus became influential figures.

This essay derives from the primary need to make order between direct and indirect sources available for the reconstruction of the history of video art in Italy in the seventies. In fact, during the researches for the Ph.D. thesis it became clear that in most cases it is difficult to define, in terms of facts, which of the different historiographies should be taken into consideration to deepen the study of video art in Italy. Beyond legitimate differences of perspectives and methods, historiographical narratives all share similar issues and narrative structure. The first intention of the essay is, therefore, to compare the different historiographic narratives on Italian video art of the seventies, verifying their genealogy, the sources used and the accuracy of the narrated facts. For the selection of the corpus, it was decided to analyze in particular monographic volumes dealing with the history of the origins of video art in Italy. The aim was, in fact, to get a wide range of types of "narrations", as in the case of contemporary art and architecture magazines, which are examined in the second part of the essay. After the selection, for an analytical and comparative study of the various historiography, the essay focuses only on the Terza Biennale Internazionale della Giovane Pittura. Gennaio ’70. Comportamenti, oggetti e mediazioni (Third International Biennial of Young Painting. January '70. Behaviors, Objects and Mediations, 1970, Bologna), the exhibition which - after Lucio Fontana's pioneering experiments - is said to be the first sign of the arrival of videotape in Italy (called at the time videorecording), curated by Renato Barilli, Tommaso Trini, Andrea Emiliani and Maurizio Calvesi. The narration given so far of this exhibition appeared more mythological than historical and could be compared structurally to that of the many numerous beginnings that historiographyies on international video art identify as ‘first’ and ‘generative’. In the first part of the essay the 'facts' related to Gennaio ’70, as narrated by historiography on video art, are compared. In the second part the survey is carried out through some of the direct sources identified during the research, with the aim of answering to questions raised by the comparison between historiographies. Concluding, it is important to underline that the tapes containing the videos transmitted have not been found and seem to have disappeared since the ending of the exhibition. Nevertheless, the deepening of the works and documentation transmitted during the exhibition is possible thanks to other types of sources which give us many valuable information regarding video techniques and practices at the beginning of 1970 in Italy.

Natacha Nisic recognized that the conditions of confinement created by the COVID pandemic and lockdown posed a threat to the visibility, exchange and experience of contemporary art, particularly of the work of women artists. Nisic invited women in her global network to contribute to the project and over time the network has expanded. Over 50 artists have now contributed to the publications and they maintain the online project collectively. As well as weekly publications, since the beginning The Crown Letter has hosted a weekly Salon for its contributors, where the artists exchange experiences, ideas and stories. In these times of confinement, where the effects of systemic inequality are felt across the globe, The Crown Letter harnesses the power of artistic exchange, collective energy, support and dialogue. As it approaches its first anniversary, some of the artists gathered at a salon to reflect on what The Crown Letter means to them.

RESUMEN Hay que pensar la decolonialidad en relación a las artes. En esta entrevista exploramos cómo las artes decoloniales se diferencian de la estética moderna/colonial. La decolonización de la estética conlleva la liberación de a la aiesthesis, es decir de las formas de relacionarnos con el mundo y de hacer mundo a través de los sentidos. La aiesthesis decolonial se distingue de los principios del arte contemporáneo y en particular de su sujeción a la temporalidad moderna, abriéndonos hacia las temporalidades relacionales. Los artistas decoloniales ejercen una temporalidad distinta que conlleva no sólo una crítica radical al orden de la representación y de la visualidad modernas sino que también nos dan la posibilidad de entender a la decolonialidad cómo un movimiento cargado de esperanza, cargado de la posibilidad de nombrar y vivenciar los mundos interculturales que han sido negados. PALABRAS CLAVE Decolonialidad, tiempo relacional, esperanza, cuerpo, interculturalidad KAI SUTI AESTHESIS ÑAGPAMANDA KAUSAKUNA TUKUIKUNAWA TAPUCHI SUG RUNATA ROLANDO VÁSQUEZ SUTITA SUGLLAPI Kaipi kawachinakumi iska ruraikuna ñugpamanda chasallata kunaurramanda.

INTERVIEW WITH ROLANDO VÁSQUEZ ABSTRACT We have to hink the decoloniality in relation with the arts. This interview explores the difference between the modern/colonial aesthetic and the decolonial arts. The aesthetic decolonization leads to the release of the aesthesis, ergo it relates in every way to the connection and creation of a world through the senses. The decolonial aesthesis is particularly different from the contemporary art principles in the way it grasps the modern temporality consenting the creation of a path toward relational temporalities. The decolonial artists exercise a different temporality that results in not only a radical criticism to the modern representation and visuality but it makes possible to understand the decolonialization as a hopeful movement, full of possibilities for naming and experiencing neglected intercultural worlds. KEYWORDS Decolonialization, relational time, hope, body, interculturality ESTEHÉSIE DÉCOLONIALE ET LE TEMPS RELATIONNELS. ENTRETIEN À ROLANDO VASQUEZ RÉSUMÉ Il faut penser la décolonisation en relation aux arts. Dans cet entretien on explore comment les arts décoloniaux sont différents de l’esthétique moderne-coloniale. La décolonisation de l’esthétique entraîne la libération de l’estehésie, c’est-à-dire, la libération des façons de nous mettre en relation avec le monde et d’en créer un nouveau à travers les sens. L’estehésie décoloniale se différence des principes de l’art contemporain, principalement pour son fixation à la modernité en nous emmenant vers les temporalités relationnelles. Les artistes décoloniaux exercent avec une temporalité qui n’implique pas juste une critique radicale à l’ordre de la représentation et de la vision moderne, mais aussi de la possibilité de comprendre la décolonisation comme un mouvement plein d’espoir, chargé d’une possibilité de nommer et de mettre en relief les interculturalités qu’ont été niées. MOTS-CLEFS Décolonisation, temps relationnels, espoir, corps, interculturalité ESTESIA DESCOLONIAL E O TEMPO RELACIONAL ENTREVISTA A ROLANDO VAZQUEZ RESUMO Temos que pensar a descolonização em relação as artes.

The article considers the essence of the concepts «project», «design», «social project», «social design». Social design is considered a creative process of social reality led by a man. It has been specified that all kinds of social formations cannot be created and realized without a person, his/her initiative creative work, one of the results of which is social design.  The presence of social projects in society testifies to its maturity and deeper perception and understanding of reality, penetration into the society of the idea that everyone is responsible for the fate of their land, people and that it is impossible to build a comfortable life detached from what is happening around. Social projects are created by socially active, creative people for the development and progress of their country. Thus, the subject of social design can be both one person and a group of people (organizations, teams, social institutions, etc.). It is established that any social grouping is impossible to imagine without a person, his/her active public position and creative work, one of the results of which is social design. A creative person as a social being based on social connections and interactions changes the future for the better, creating micro-and macro-groups, associations, and later communities. Social design, despite the huge typology, originates from the awareness and development of innovations in social work. A promising area of further research in this aspect is the features of social design as an effective means of solving social problems in the context of the development of modern social work. It is noted that social design is aimed at all types of human activities, but only with an innovative view and a systematic creative approach is the possible optimal design of social phenomena and processes. The existing approaches to the classification of social projects are considered, the features of social projects are defined and generalized: goal setting, innovative, time, territorial, socially determined, social-institutional, resource, organizational, social-informational.
