El arte p\u00fablico tiene una buena representaci\u00f3n en Madrid, multitud de estatuas y esculturas se pueden encontrar por toda la ciudad, pero a nosotros nos da la sensaci\u00f3n de que han sido instaladas para que la gente no se sienta a gusto acerc\u00e1ndose, tocando o interactuando con ellas. La mayor\u00eda est\u00e1n subidas a altos pedestales, se encuentran rodeadas de grandes medidas de seguridad o han sido plantadas en medio de jardines, en los que est\u00e1 prohibido pisar.<\/p>\n

Un buen ejemplo de esta manera de entender el arte en la ciudad, es el Museo de Arte P\u00fablico de Madrid<\/a>, un espacio al aire libre en el que algunos de los m\u00e1s afamados artistas espa\u00f1oles de anteriores generaciones, exponen sus grandes piezas escult\u00f3ricas.<\/p>\n

A pesar de ser obras robustas y compactas, apropiadas para ser tocadas y usadas, son inaccesibles al p\u00fablico, excepto con la vista. Sus pedestales son altos, est\u00e1n iluminadas con potentes focos que las convierten en piezas poco confortables y como medida definitivamente disuasoria, est\u00e1n se\u00f1alizadas con carteles que avisan de que el espacio se encuentra directamente vigilado por la polic\u00eda municipal.<\/p>\n

La madrugada del 26 de septiembre, decidimos abordar varias de las estatuas de dicho museo, colocando 400 pezones de silicona, de apariencia realista, y tacto agradable, similar al humano. Por supuesto, les a\u00f1adimos luz, para llamar la atenci\u00f3n sobre ellos.<\/p>\n

La pieza se llam\u00f3 \u00a1Toca!, \u00a1toca!, que no pasa nada…<\/span><\/strong> y con ella pretendimos, que los transeuntes que siempre caminan de paso por esta zona, de grandes oficinas y lujosas casas, adquirieran conciencia del entorno expositivo y se tomaran tiempo mirando y tocando sin reparo.<\/p>\n

Mientras instal\u00e1bamos, los trasnochadores que sal\u00edan de las discotecas cercanas, atra\u00eddos por la luz que desprend\u00edan nuestros pezones, se acercaban y miraban sorprendidos estos curiosos objetos, tan ajenos a la fr\u00eda superficie de las esculturas.<\/p>\n

Y como si de un acto reflejo se tratara, nadie pod\u00edan evitar acercar la mano y palpar su suave superficie, algunos despegaban las piezas que ten\u00edan m\u00e1s a mano, para hacerse con tan c\u00e1lido bot\u00edn, a pesar de lo vigilado y hostil del entorno.<\/p>\n

Con este eficaz reclamo, conseguimos que la gente se acercara al arte que configura su paisaje cotidiano, en el que apenas reparan y que se dedicaran a observarlo y tocarlo con deleite.<\/p>\n

No podemos evitar pensar, con cierto regocijo, en el destino final de estos pezones iluminados, seguro que la mayor\u00eda acabaron en la guantera de alg\u00fan deportivo, ocultos en oscuros cajones de oficina, en los bolsillos del pantal\u00f3n de alg\u00fan ejecutivo o en los bolsos de marca de algunas se\u00f1oras madrugadoras.<\/p>\n

Esperemos que estos pezones sigan siendo tocados gustosamente por sus due\u00f1os,\u00a0 mientras se preguntan, qu\u00e9 demonios hac\u00edan pegados a la esculturas del puente… y cada vez que pasen por este particular museo, se paren a contemplar las piezas escult\u00f3ricas, con una actitud m\u00e1s divertida y ludica.<\/p>\n

Gracias a Cristina, Oscar y Alex por echarnos una mano en la instalaci\u00f3n, y a los amigos de Canal Arte<\/a> de Alemania, que nos acompa\u00f1aron y documentaron el proceso, con tan buen \u00e1nimo y paciencia.<\/p>\n

Cuando tengamos el v\u00eddeo del programa, lo dejaremos por aqu\u00ed.<\/p>\n

Public art is well represented in Madrid, a multitude of statues and sculptures can be found all over the city, but they give us the sensation that they have been installed in such a way as to make people feel uncomfortable approaching them, touching or interacting with them. The majority are placed on high pedestals, they are surrounded with many security measures or they have been placed in the middle of gardens, which are prohibited to step in.<\/p>\n

A good example of this form of exposure to art in the city is the Museum of Public Art in Madrid<\/a>, an open air space in which some of the most famous Spanish artists of previous generations display their great pieces of sculpture.<\/p>\n

In spite of being robust and compact, appropriate to be touched and used, they are inaccessible to the public, except to view. Their pedestals are high, they are illuminated with powerful lights that convert them into slightly uncomfortable pieces and as a definitively deterrent measure, are posted with signs that warn that the space is under the direct surveillance of the municipal police.<\/p>\n

The morning of the 26th of September, we decided to approach various statues of said museum, placing 400 silicone nipples, of realistic appearance, pleasant to touch and similar to those of humans.<\/p>\n

The piece was called Touch! Touch! Nothing will happen\u2026<\/strong><\/span> and with it we wanted the passers-by who always pass through this area, from big offices and luxurious houses, to become aware of the exhibitive environment and to take time to look and touch without shame.<\/p>\n

While we were installing it, the night owls that came out of the nearby discos, attracted by the light that our nipples gave off, came closer and looked surprisedly at these curious objects, so alien to the cold surfaces of the sculptures.<\/p>\n

And as if it were due to an act of reflex, nobody could avoid moving their hand closer and touching their soft surface, some of them unstuck the pieces that were closer at hand, to make off with such a warm prize, in spite of the surveillance and the hostility of the environment.<\/p>\n

With this effective call, we got the people to approach the art that makes up their everyday environment, which they hardly notice, and devote some time to looking at it and touching it with delight.<\/p>\n

We cannot avoid thinking, with a certain amount of glee, in the final destination of these illuminated nipples, sure that the majority will end up in the glove compartment of some sports car, hidden in some dark drawer of an office, in the trouser pockets of some executive or in the brand name handbags of some early rising women.<\/p>\n

We hope that these nipples continue to be happily played with by their owners, while they ask themselves what the heck they were doing stuck to the sculptures on the bridge\u2026 and every time they pass by this particular museum, they stop to contemplate the pieces of sculpture, with a more fun and playful attitude.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Cristina, Oscar and Alex for giving us a hand with the installation and the friends from the Art Channel of Germany that accompanied us and documented the process, with such good humor and patience.<\/p>\n

When we have the video of the program we will post it here.<\/p>\n
