23 espines (23 thorns)

Collaborative editorial work published on social media from April 1 to July 23, 2020. Carried out in two phases: the first, from 1 to 23 April, gives rise to the name 23 thorns (a daily entry for 23 days). The call effect and the success of participants forces to widen the tickets, and finally to extend until the 23rd of July. The two 23 mentioned are St. George's Day of a peculiar year 2020. The general operation of this project begins with the contribution of the image of a work by each participant, to which I write a text associated or provoked by its visualization; poems related to thorns of their own, sometimes; words that are born of the assimilation of another's thorns, on other occasions. In any case, an inseparable connection of two parts is closed; binomials of a greater degree of communicative intensity are created. The will is multiple: · Awaken or give way to the closed and / or retained expression of the artistic group in these conditions. · Connect this group in a network for the exchange of experiences. · Use networks as a possible means, not as a purpose, but as a window in the age of walls. · Vindicate art as a floating point of salvation in extreme situations.
