Entrevista a Isidoro Valcárcel Medina

Abstract

Isidoro Valcárcel Medina (Murcia, 1937) received the National Plastic Arts Award in 2007 and the Velázquez Plastic Arts Award in 2015. His artistic practice relates to the ideas of situation and reality, rather than to the production of objects. His artwork ranges from proposals that may well become artistic merchandise, to the dematerialization of pieces, therefore producing experiences instead of works of art. This interview revolves around the idea that creating a museum or an art collection produces an inevitable change in the absolute meaning of the work of art, because this process implies a re-edition of the context in which it was generated.
