I POSQUIN YOU®

The term Posquin is a neologism, whose idea arises from the Valencian artists and curators of art Xus Francés and María Carballo, which means post-it or post-it artistically intervened in a small common format of 7'5x7'5 cm. The post-it, in this case, becomes the canvas with which a greater presence and equality of possibilities is claimed in the exhibition settings that are provided for it.

"Art has had a few years in which it has been relegated as a result of the renowned economic imbalance. And it is not that the Stock Market affects art, but most of the leaders and rulers have separated it, leaving it at the tail of the list of investments, and at the top of the cuts It often seems that the crisis has come like a fall from the sky to do so.

The hackneyed crisis has effectively put several barriers to art, but nothing stops the creative disposition and artists. And like any caged being, it looks for the smallest hole through which to emerge, the creators also feel for where to make their way, and the fissure that in the I POSQUIN YOU® collective they found more than eight years ago and, once that journey was opened, has It has been a constant and overwhelming trickle of authors, in which the artist Jorge Sellés joined from the first moment, who has flooded the art scene demonstrating that art always finds ways to express itself and establish itself.

Once it has been stated that art is not asleep, much less silenced despite numerous attempts, it is time to create a new relationship of renewed and transformed art with society, which, like creation, always regenerates giving rise to new ones. and unusual forms of expression and new concerns delimited by freedom of thought. And if the society resulting from this cultural reactivation has certain conditions, art must also know how to adapt to them. In I POSQUIN YOU® one of those original forms of interrelation was proposed: from small-format works at affordable prices, or almost symbolic. An incentive for a new collecting born from this situation, which in the future is capable of supporting and maintaining art and, consequently, enriching culture, since neither should nor can one live solely on public subsidies, since the crisis it has put an end to the economic waste of the public. It is time for private collecting to take the initiative and, together with commitment and firmness, the art itself fosters a situation of certainty and evolution. The new role that public institutions must take is that of promoter, supporting private consumption through tax cuts and patronage laws, among others."
