Presentation of 'La novela de artista: La novela como medio en las artes visuales'

Why do artists write novels? What does the artist’s novel do to the visual arts? How should such a novel be experienced?

There is a growing number of visual artists today who create novels as part of larger artistic projects, favouring a type of art based on process and subjectivity and introducing concepts such as fiction, narrative and imagination. It is therefore possible to speak of a new medium in the visual arts.

The artist and researcher David Maroto presents The Artist's Novel: The Novel as a Medium in the Visual Arts (Greylock Editorial), a two-volume book that combines a theoretical essay and a research project in the form of a novel. David Armengol, Artistic Director of La Capella, will talk to Maroto to unravel the content of the work.

The session will also feature the participation of Susana Romanos, editor of the book.
