Presentation of the book "Here & Now: Fraud", at Blanca Soto Gallery in Madrid_

"Here & Now: Fraud", a visual arts open call and digital book promoted by BLANCA SOTO Gallery in Madrid, in collaboration with AIR and curated by Imanol Marrodán.

Nearly 400 pages dedicated to contemporary thought and cutting-edge visual arts projects!

This publication includes a chapter entirely devoted to Jorge Conde's "The Mass-Man Project" (pages 53-73), an artistic investigation on massive events, crowds behavior, hiperconsumerism and show-business in contemporary Western societies. With this project, Jorge conde aims to visually elaborate on the main ideas stated by José Ortega y Gasset and Gilles Lipovetsky, two European philosophers from different schools and periods who reflected on how democracy and market society influence art and effectively shape our perception of the world.
