De Calor (1993-1996)

Exhibition devoted to De Calor, a Barcelona magazine of the 1990s, curated by Jorge Luis Marzo and staged at La Virreina Centre de la Imatge in Barcelona.

The magazine De Calor was published in Barcelona during the 1990s, amid the city's profound cultural, social, political and technological transformation. Its pages carried contributions from artists, intellectuals and activists interested in new collective ways of producing and thinking. It was run by Tere Badia, Mont Marsà, Jorge Marzo, Carles Poy, Jesús Renau and Toni Serra.

The exhibition, curated by Jorge Luis Marzo, brings together a good part of the materials published by the magazine and places them within a framework of references that allows visitors to trace practices and attitudes that offered alternatives to the festive model of Olympic and postmodern Barcelona. The rooms thus offer a window onto that context through its publications.

The publication of a fourth special issue, devoted to ventriloquism as a current driving force of political production, is also planned. It is an issue that subscribers paid for decades ago and never actually received.
