" This series of works continues a project in which I worked between 2007 and 2010 that narrate the actions committed by the IBDA (International Brigades for the Destruction of Art). The IBDA are a terrorist group whose supposed objective is to destroy the contemporary art system. In order to get this purpose their attacks are focused on the main structures of this system, such as contemporary art galleries and museums. Their actions are based in destroying or damaging some of the most important artworks in the last 20 years. So, IBDA's objective is to spoil the main agents of this game both in the productive and the commercial facet. My intention when developing this series is to think about the nature of contemporary art system and his tight correlation with the current structures of the market. Thus, my aim is to offer an ironic look over the art world. Especially about how its structures have disproportionately grown over the last three decades, under the shelter of a savage market. For this aim I use the icon of the imaginary terrorist, whom in an extremely iconoclastic exercise, uses violence to destroy what he doesn't like: a kind of art that spins under the rules of the market.
