It is evident that modernity is a popular mountain for analysis and
reflection of a largely controversial nature. Numerous theories
have also been written about the beginning as well as the end of
modernity. The aim of Modernologies is to achieve an account of the
state of artistic research and to discuss selected contributions to
the subject matter that appears central after two to three decades
of an ever intensely blazing conflict over the legacy of modernity
and modernism.

The exhibition Invocable Reality explores possible perspectives on
reality from art practices through a selection of works by eleven
artists from different backgrounds and generations. The works in
Invocable Reality approach reality in a subtle way. They start from
the 'here and now' of the reality that the artists intend to
'investigate and conquer': incorporating fragments in the
exhibition space (Roman Ondak), turning the gallery into a real
space (Antonio Ortega), filming it (Lutz Mommartz, Jeremy Deller
and Mireia Sallares), trying to direct it (John Smith), looking for
connections in space and time (Enric Farres-Duran), influencing it
(Nuria Guell), showing the devastating effects of a mediated
reality (Phil Collins), demonstrating the impossibility of its
representation (Rafel G. Bianchi) or showing how we have turned
death into something unreal (Jill Magid). The catalogue reproduces
a series of photographs of the exhibition installation, whose
selection of works is discussed in the text by Montse Badia,
curator of the exhibition, as well as the essay 'On "The Real"' by
the French philosopher Clement Rosset.
Asier Mendizabal (b. Ordizia, Guipuzkoa, 1973) is a new generation
Basque artist who pays special attention to the relations between
form, discourse and ideology. His oeuvre could be described as a
critique of ideology, based on the mise en scne of the structures
that shape it. Through art, rock music, cinema, politics and
theory, his view on social structures leads him to sketch out a map
of the totality of production relationships. Asier Mendizabal's
transversal, multidisciplinary approach focuses sharply on the
difficulties of representation inherent in the political, as well
as on the gaps between artistic activity and the "political
unconscious" in cultural production and mass movements.
Art & Language Uncompleted. The Philippe Meaille Collection
provides a detailed and revealing view of one of the most complex
aesthetic identities of the second half of the twentieth century.
The overwhelming literary and writerly personality of Art &
Language, evident in the huge number of yellowed documents and
papers which form a significant part of The Philippe Meaille
Collection, challenges the power of the institution to deal with
artistic research. What we discover is something as discursive and
various as the artistic life of a collaboration which has evolved
relentlessly since the sixties.
