2013–2025 It’s a book that serves as a continuation of Alex Marco’s career. It brings together twelve years of work that Antonio Ballesteros intuitively dissects: painting, photography, video essays, graphic deliriums, and installations. These practices appear ordered logically, not chronologically, generating visual and conceptual relationships that position the work as a whole. The volume includes texts by Mariano Mayer, José Luis Clemente, Aurelién Le Genissel, and César Novella, curators who have collaborated with the artist on various exhibitions. The decision to present this project on paper reflects Álex Marco’s career, where publications, fanzines, and posters closely interact with his pictorial work. Marco, Ballesteros as the designer, and Novella as the author of one of the main texts and curator of the latest exhibition will participate in the presentation.And I, who did not believe in witches,also analyzed in the book. A discussion will be held about the review process, selection of works, and graphic decisions that shaped this narrative on paper.

“Para:labra de:liciosa  con Cariño” is an editorial experiment that brings together practices situated between the visual arts and writing. It moves between desire and play, between the humorous and the kitsch. These proposals work with what is usually left out of formal practice: the scribble that becomes graphic when you squint, or the babble that makes sense to perverse ears. It is an exploration where meaning is always at risk, dissolving into gestures, future possibilities, and pleasure.

GEOMOFA is a book born from an obsession: seeing the world through maps, cameras, and bicycles. Sebastián Paduano (GeoPadu on YouTube) blends urban planning, play, and exploration to transform everyday objects—a streetlight, the color of asphalt, a line on the road—into clues to a personal and global atlas. This talk will explain how the book came to be, how to play GeoGuessr as if it were a science, and how reading can also be a way of traveling the world. There will be a live game, stories and maps will be shared, and Valencia will be explored as if it were a new country to discover.
