'El arte a contratiempo', by Miguel Ángel Hernández

In the face of linear, accelerated and capitalized time of the present, in recent decades a large number of artists have tried to explore alternative modalities of temporal experience: interruptions, delays, jumps, discontinuities, desynchronizations ...

The essays in this book modulate this thesis through a series of essential questions to understand the art and visual culture of the last two decades, such as the critical power of obsolescence and the return of materiality, the art of history and his questioning of temporal linearity, anachronism and heterochrony, or migratory aesthetics.

'Derivas', by Anna María Guasch

This book offers a reflection on art through its "drifts", that is, the movements that make all the ways fit in today's art. Throughout its chapters, not only creation is considered, but also the discipline of Art History, its limits and the need to propose new reading strategies.

And this takes place understanding knowledge through exchanges of knowledges among disciplines. The result is a text that develops a series of "lines of flight" that, from art criticism, Visual Studies, the concept of archives or globalization, generate a common space that allows to recognize that art is so important as the way of narrating it.
