Suburban area. The presence of cities in an exhibition of contemporary art is related to the fact lead that its limits are part of its surrounding significance. While cities are the interlocking where it appears the trade, industrialization, communications and global market, it is also the space where is placed seemingly remote places. This area of suburbs that we tend to identify with places separated from the urban center is here used in a metaphorical sense, linking the space of contemporary art to its political situation, its presence and influence in the social space.

In this sense, outskirts is responsible for presenting the work of different artists whose intentions are configured around four main areas. Firstly, by showing that the space of the streets is prone to own art iconoclastic action. Through an insurgent irony, jobs that make up this area of outskirts can set other urban drift. On the other hand, through practices related to the image of civilized places, we can come to realize how private spaces are part of the political conception of suburbs that we propose. As a third space facing the center of the city, appears the discourse of drawing and photography as a practice to show the perimeter of the vacuum in the current cities. Other ways to show that outskirts space shown reluctantly, inclined towards a subtle critique from identifiable practices with the action or the conceptual irony through the video creation application.

That juxtaposition of actions, video, photography, drawing and installation, the outskirts area aims to bring a picture of the siege where the city is decentralized. A certain sense of the peripheral is precisely what concerns the same space of contemporary art. To do this, we show the work of 30 artists whose trajectory appears, in one way or another, a concept of realism associated with the city itself. While this spread helps to realize what is the space of the arts today, then we should check up to where you can designate those characteristics that lead to expand the meaning of the urban. Extrarradial there appears the art as evidence that the boundaries that circumscribe the political are directly related to the topological space of the arts today. And that on the periphery, as the limit, becomes the inner cities.

Current art and outskirts. We know that there are suburbs because there is capitalism. The memory of cities does not imply that we posibilitemos the idea of a centre which depart, as in the case of urban transport, the streets of way radi (c) to the. The suburbs is what constitutes the Centre, particularly in the case of the current art. Your space tends to accommodate reality, but through the use of useful artifacts represent. In the particular case of this exhibition, guest artists have included among their main interests a strange relationship with those aspects of the urban, civilized and cultural spaces associated with capitalism. Because the outskirts is not exactly a limit, but that is at the limits of the city itself. It is precisely that creation of a peripheral zone that has been associated with separation and deleted between the cultural and the civilised which, through the mediation of art, can be grouped in a way where will attend its activity based on a plethora of capable of organizing different art concepts:

Zone 1. PERIPHERY. The concept of alienation is one of the aims of this exhibition. From an ironic position show different creations that are directed to speak of the sense of belonging from the video creation: FERNANDO BAENA, MARÍA CAÑAS, democracy, KAORU KATAYAMA, MARUCHA MATEOS, LUIS MELON and DANIEL VILLEGAS.

Zone 2. ENIGMA AND DYSTOPIA. The discovery of the vacuum has led to several artists use photography or drawing as a residue that shows the passage of time in places of abandonment. If the city is built by relations that keep on it its inhabitants, it is also important to know what value recovers the architecture of private spaces, through a proposal that points toward intimacy, memory or the Constitution of each: LUIS CÁRCAMO, ANTONIO DE LA ROSA, SOFÍA JACK, CRISTINA LLANOS, PEPE MEDINA, LINAREJOS MORENO, SANTIAGO MorelTERESA MORO AND AVELINO SALA.

Zone 3. WORKS AREA. There are some artistic practices whose place is not simply to own a standard character. The limits of artistic disciplines changed significantly the interpretation of art experience and so are shown as a way to find that Fuzzy line between the comment in the history of art and the procedures related to consumption, advertising, architecture, the crime or economic symbols: JOSECHU DÁVILA, CHUS GARCÍA-FRAILE, TERESA MARGOLLES, EUGENIO MERINOTODO POR LA PRAXIS, PSJM, RUBEN SANTIAGO, SANTIAGO SIERRA, PELAYO VARELA, ORSON SAN PEDRO.

Zone 4. OUTSIDE CENTRE. If we can consider that art is to create a certain situation in the political reality, in this series of actions we intend to extend art peripheral sense promoting that interventions linked to this reflection on the possibility of expansion of the radio art medien: RAFAEL BURILLO, MARUCHA MATEOS, JORGE MÉNDEZ BLAKE, SANTIAGO MORILLAl, AVELINO SALA and PELAYO VARELA.

The space of art today. The cities are a multi-faceted growth, sometimes exponentially and, on other occasions, trying to limit its axis of action. It seems that the suburban area was not but a circle around the city, something that surround and that wasn't properly city. In the case of the space of art in today's society, is part of isomorficamente as an activity which apparently lies in the common locations such as museums, galleries and art centres. It is also true that it is possible that certain problems are visible. Line suburbs, as a siege and resistance area, is a matter of tracing and meeting of the other. An otherness which is why art today faces the strangeness using their own tools. This realistic appearance can not be only simple description. Then, the outskirts of art is set up as a line of defense that affects any area of the city, resisting despite the global current critical time and discovering the limits of the art to determine the boundaries of a city. And it is in this area of outskirts where cities term corresponds to the incidence of an art capable of extending the sense of their limits.
