Spain
DEMOCRACIA is an artistic collective based in Madrid, Spain. Formed in 2006, their collaboration seeks to center artistic production on collectivity, discourse, dissensus, and conflict. DEMOCRACIA’s work is characterized by their ambitious and provocative social interventions, politicizing spaces and situations through the apparatus of propaganda. Their concerns are expressed through forms subverting and repositioning the aesthetic material and textual rhetoric of Western political cultures. In doing so, their practice presents a radical critique of societal/political/economic institutions, systems, and conventions.
DEMOCRACIA have exhibited their work internationally at institutions such as Warsaw Biennale, Poland (2020), La Panera, Lleida, Spain (2019), the Station Museum of Contemporary Art, USA (2019), Rua Red, Dublin, Ireland (2018); MUCEM, Marseille, France (2017); Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt, Germany (2013); Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, DC, USA (2012) or Taipei Biennial, Taiwan (2008).
