Josep-Maria Martín
The artistic projects of Josep-Maria Martín are centered on creating from the art, new strategies of intervention in certain structures consolidated in the present society, but not without cracks. With a subjective and reflexive will, he questions and criticizes the reality about which he decides to work. Its pieces emphasize the idea of process, research, participation, involvement and negotiation, making the agents identified for each project become true generators of a common project.
He is interested in art whose objective exceeds the aesthetic scope: we can not deny the problems that we face in the political, social, anthropological, spatial planning and urban planning, etc. Biography
