Author Description

"The Museo Reina Sofía presents a new series of publications under the title 'Carta(s)' which seeks to broaden the editorial format of the debates that unfold in the institution and beyond. 'Carta(s)', the result of a joint project between the Museo's Editorial Activities and Public Activities Departments, looks to draw attention to the reverberations between initiatives driven and welcomed by the Museo's different lines of research and artistic and critical production. The first, 'Exile/Refuge', includes the texts: 'The Long Time of History', by Manuel Borja-Villel; 'Republican Exile: Constructing from Absence', by Mari Paz Balibrea; 'Not Letting Live and Letting Die', by Judith Revel; 'Visualising Climate Refugees', by T. J. Demos; 'Visualising Scarcity and Loss: Contemporary Art and the Representation of Capital and its Failures', by Simon Sheikh; and the visual essay 'À tous les clandestins', by Patricia Gómez and María Jesús González."--Publisher's website
