More information
This work is a devotional book where fragments of real statements and “missions” from museums and art centers are reproduced. A proof about how the official culture is permeated by redemptive and paternalistic concepts more typical of religion. So, the artist compiles fragments of institutional texts, found on various websites of contemporary art museums, in which they expose their socio-political commitments. Statements that are updated in line with the moral context of society and the time, and that mark the future of contemporary art in Spain.

Esta obra es un libro devocional donde se reproducen fragmentos de declaraciones reales y "misiones" de museos y centros de arte. Una prueba de cómo la cultura oficial está impregnada de conceptos redentores y paternalistas más propios de la religión. Así, la artista recopila fragmentos de textos institucionales, encontrados en varios sitios web de museos de arte contemporáneo, en los que exponen sus compromisos sociopolíticos. Declaraciones que se actualizan de acuerdo con el contexto moral de la sociedad y el tiempo, y que marcan el futuro del arte contemporáneo en España.
