The critic and professor at the Oviedo Art School Santiago Martinez presents a new edition of “Rarum”, the informative courses on art that it teaches at the Asturias Library, which are now in their third installment and which on this occasion is dedicated to “the second avant-garde.”
Martínez, who publishes his criticisms and comments on art in LA NEW ESPAÑA, will dedicate each session of the course to movements, currents and artists, and also to other professionals linked to creation. “It is a program that, in general, has a conventional, chronological approach, but the content is presented in a different way, making room for critics, theorists, gallery owners…”, he explains. It is, he summarizes, “balancing practice and theory.”
The course is organized by the Friends of the Library Association and is open to 120 students. Registration must be formalized on September 27, starting at 17.00 hoursin the Library, in Daoíz and Velarde square.
