Asier Perez's body of work is an endeavor to stake out a domain that encompasses artistic practice, the radius of its action (the public, institutions, critics and their social perception) and the sphere of ?life? understood through the economy, that is to say, trade.
In a loose and broad sense, the economy could be viewed as a practice that seeks to define the tradable value of things and even of human actions. In contrast, art has historically sought to remain outside the orbit of the sphere of utility, thereby championing the superior sphere of the symbolic. An extremely well-designed book, a landmark in book design.
