El t&iacute;tulo de la obra es, en buena medida, la obra en s&iacute;. Traducida tambi&eacute;n al ingl&eacute;s y al italiano, la frase se despliega sobre el suelo del pabell&oacute;n, vac&iacute;o, por lo dem&aacute;s, de otros objetos o est&iacute;mulos visuales. Dora Garc&iacute;a ha elegido realizar una obra incorp&oacute;rea que adquiere sentido con la intervenci&oacute;n de ochenta <em>performers <\/em>preestablecidos y otros espont&aacute;neos que pueden sumarse tambi&eacute;n a la faceta web del proyecto. Se trata, as&iacute;, de una propuesta perform&aacute;tica, cuya consumaci&oacute;n, cuya completitud, se alcanzar&aacute; solo cuando se culmine el proceso que debe desarrollarse durante los cinco meses que dura la Biennale. Es decir, que habr&aacute; que esperar a que el evento se clausure para poder sacar algo en claro de este proyecto, pues solo entonces se habr&aacute; completado. Esta \u00abobra\u00bb, con su car&aacute;cter irritantemente procesual e inmaterial y con un t&iacute;tulo que ir&oacute;nicamente parece calificar su propia inoportunidad, ha generado una desfavorable opini&oacute;n entre el p&uacute;blico, experto o lego, que ha visitado el Pabell&oacute;n de Espa&ntilde;a.<\/p>\n<p>Es cierto que en el arte contempor&aacute;neo ya no nos asombra nada y estamos muy acostumbrados al proceso y la inmaterialidad, pero en este caso Dora Gar&iacute;a ha confundido el contexto de la Biennale con el de uno de los tantos \u00abtalleres\u00bb que suelen acoger los centros de arte contempor&aacute;neo. Para poner un ejemplo relativo a otro g&eacute;nero art&iacute;stico contempor&aacute;neo, lo que la artista nos propone es presenciar algo equivalente a lo que ser&iacute;a asistir al proceso de concepci&oacute;n, planeamiento, producci&oacute;n y montaje de una instalaci&oacute;n, sin llegar a disfrutar de la instalaci&oacute;n misma, porque despu&eacute;s de cinco meses, &iquest;a qui&eacute;n le importar&aacute; ya el resultado del proyecto de Dora Garc&iacute;a para la  Biennale?<\/p>\n<p>Pero en el caso de la participaci&oacute;n espa&ntilde;ola en la  Biennale, la obra de Garc&iacute;a no ha sido lo &uacute;nico <em>inadecuado<\/em>. Ya citamos en nuestro n&uacute;mero anterior lo inoportuno de la participaci&oacute;n catalano-balear, y ahora hemos de se&ntilde;alar la desmesura de la participaci&oacute;n oficial espa&ntilde;ola, que ha supuesto el gasto de una desorbitada suma para una obra tan intangible: 850.000 euros, dentro de los cuales no sabemos si se computa el viaje, totalmente fuera de lugar, de la Ministra de Cultura a Venecia con su s&eacute;quito para inaugurar el Pabell&oacute;n de Espa&ntilde;a. No recordamos haber visto nunca antes a un ministro de cultura espa&ntilde;ol inaugurando el pabell&oacute;n en Venecia. Tampoco sabemos si el dinero gastado en la dispendiosa cena ofrecida por Espa&ntilde;a para celebrar la ocasi&oacute;n formaba parte de ese presupuesto de 850.000, o si a esta suma hay que agregar todos esos gastos de representaci&oacute;n que parad&oacute;jicamente no se vieron nunca en los pasados a&ntilde;os de bonanza.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The inadequate<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Lo inadecuado<\/em> is the title of the project presented by Dora Garc&iacute;a in the Spanish Pavilion of the Giardini, in the Biennale di Venezia. The title of the work is, in good measure, the work in itself. Translated into both English and Italian, the phrase lays on the floor of the pavilion, otherwise empty of other objects or visual stimulants. Dora Garc&iacute;a has chosen to carry out an incorporeal work that acquires sense with the intervention of eighty pre-established performers and other spontaneous ones that can also join the web facet of the project. That way, it will become a complete, consummated proposal only when the process that should develop during the five months of the Biennale culminates. That is to say, one has to wait for the event to close in order to get anything clear about this project, because only then it will be finished. This \u00abwork\u00bb with its irritatingly progressive and immaterial character and with a title that ironically seems to classify its own inopportunity, has generated a unfavourable opinion among the layman and expert public that has visited the Spanish Pavilion. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is true that in contemporary art nothing surprises us and we are very used to the process and immateriality, but in this case, Dora Garc&iacute;a has confused the context of the Biennale with that of one of the \u00abworkshops\u00bb that usually house contemporary art centres. Using an example related to another contemporary art gender: what the artist proposes is for us to watch something equivalent to what would be attending the process of conception, planning, production and assembly of an installation, without actually enjoying the installation itself, because after five months, who really worries about the result of the Dora Garc&iacute;a project in the Biennale?<\/p>\n<p>But in the case of the Spanish participation in the Biennale, the work of Garc&iacute;a is not the only <em>inadequate<\/em> thing. We already mentioned in our previous editorial article the inopportunity of the Catalan-Balearics participation, and now we have to point out the excessiveness of the official Spanish participation, that has meant spending a huge amount for such an intangible work of art: 850,000 Euros. We do not know if this included the trip, completely out of place, of the Minister of Culture to Venice with her entourage to inaugurate the Spanish pavilion. We cannot remember having ever seen a Spanish minister of culture inaugurating the pavilion in Venice. Neither do we know if the money spent on the costly dinner offered by Spain to celebrate the occasion formed part of that 850,000 Euro budget, or if all those representation expenses still have to be added and which paradoxically were never seen in the past years of plenty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autor: Jos\u00e9 Alberto L\u00f3pez Revista: L\u00c1PIZ Revista Internacional de Arte n\u00ba 267 Lo inadecuado es el t&iacute;tulo del proyecto presentado por Dora Garc&iacute;a en el Pabell&oacute;n de Espa&ntilde;a de los Giardini, en la Biennale di Venezia.
