The Museum of the Defense of Madrid is a collaborative and processual project that creates a mental rather than a physical space, in order to transform the representations of our city, our history and our identity. The lack of collective memory of this transcendental moment in our history is the point of departure for an exercise in cultural and political criticism. The narration of this people’s movement redraws Madrid’s landscape, and, as a model for the institution that produces knowledge and cultural legitimacy, the Museum becomes a radical art action: a modest caravan which the artist pulls through the streets in search of the desired epic.

The book of the Museum of the Defense of Madrid gathers the documentation of the interventions by the artist in the streets of Madrid during 2007 and 2008. Includes images from different files, a text of the artist, and experts' collaborations in diverse aspects of the Civil war, which help to contextualize the project.

Collaborators: José Buces Aguado, Fernando Hernández Sánchez, Juan Manuel Menéndez, Antonio Morcillo and Carmen Dalmau y Raúl Domingo (Latova).
