Guillermo Espinosa told us that they were closing down La teter\u00eda de la abuela for good. It must have been summer or autumn 2017 and there, on Esp\u00edritu Santo street in Madrid, almost reaching the little square, FR\u00c1GIL had been happening for the last few decades. Perhaps the longest-running independent space in Madrid, we liked to say. It was happening exactly in the display case next to the door \u2013 and we say there because in the bar that now occupies the premises, that micro-space that was once an exhibition space is still there. The display case was almost a metre wide, half a metre deep and a metre and a half high, divided into two in the upper third by a painted wooden strip, just like the ones that surrounded the entire glass structure. The conditions of this space, plus 50 euros of production and an open bar of beers for artists and curators, were the framework: the basic invitation from which the proposals were deployed, which of course often overflowed. Artistic practices, when they are minimally contextual, always start from a framework, but surely in independent projects the game with the basic conditions is even more decisive. A game that is not only playful \u2013which is also\u2013 but refers to the relaxation and distortion of pre-existing logics. We carried FR\u00c1GIL during its last year. The closing caught Clara Montoya\u2019s work inside. Thank goodness Guillermo took it to his house, right next door, safe. He had been one of the curators who had carried FR\u00c1GIL in previous stages and continued to look after it from a conceptual distance and physical proximity: he gave us the archive material he had, along with tips and tricks about the place and he saw each of the interventions we programmed. There weren\u2019t that many either. Three to be exact: in addition to Clara Montoya\u2019s Ant\u00edpodas, which opened a virtual hole in the floor of the display case to connect the ground of Malasa\u00f1a with the sky of New Zealand; In this last stage of FR\u00c1GIL we presented Symphonie ST00036435 by Rosell Meseguer, a part of his Archivo OVNI where flying saucers dedicated to espionage projected in the last room of the bar what was happening in the street; and El futuro queda detr\u00e1s by Ignacio Garc\u00eda S\u00e1nchez, the showcase of an archaeological museum that \u2013now or still does not exist. The experience with these three artists reconnected us with the rhythms and care of independent production. We came from there, we had both begun to experiment with what it was like to curate in collectives \u2013Catenaria and Calipsofacto\u2013 with self-managed projects, but after a few years of institutional work some things are forgotten. Both from those first projects and from FR\u00c1GIL we learned about the times and ways of doing independent work, much more connected to life. And that is how independent projects are inherited, they pass from one hand \u2013and head\u2013 to another, sometimes with phases of rest. Some programmes disappear for a while and suddenly re-emerge with new perspectives and conditions, closely connected to life stages. Other projects, however, have an abrupt end, such as FR\u00c1GIL. Much of today's cultural production works by projects and these, as the philosopher Boris Groys explains, are governed by temporal logics that do not always coincide with the vital rhythms of those who promote them. That is, one conceives a project and begins a dialogue with an institution that, in the best of cases, decides to support it and include it in its future programming. Irremediably, between the time you have designed the project and it has ended up being developed, several months or even years have passed, during which life goes on, things change and some permeate towards the project and others do not. There is always a gap between people, projects and institutions. This gap can cause a vital arrhythmia that affects the cultural world and the people who inhabit it. However, independent projects often manage to function with other logics and for a time the rhythms of life and projects are in tune. One of the most valuable things about experiences such as El Postalero or FR\u00c1GIL is that they unfold when the promoters want and can, they take a break when the driving community needs it and move on to another if that is what has to be the case. The fragility of this type of spaces is great and they are usually subject to the vital moment of the people involved, but things happen when we want them to.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p style=\"font-style: normal; margin: 0cm; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\" class=\"\">[1]<\/a>&nbsp;<span lang=\"es\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Cuando Elena, Louise y Dani nos escribieron para proponernos participar en esta publicaci\u00f3n que cierra (su) El postalero, pensamos en ese d\u00eda, en ese otro cierre, el de FR\u00c1GIL.

Si no eres muy fan del buceo por youtube seguro que no te hace ninguna gracia, pero viene de una escena de un concurso de televisi\u00f3n puro estilo dosmiles; aun mejor, en su versi\u00f3n famosos y ni\u00f1os. La famosa tiene que hacer adivinar una palabra a la ni\u00f1a y para ello solo puede utilizar una palabra \u2013obviamente, sin usar la palabra en cuesti\u00f3n ni derivadas. La palabra en esa ocasi\u00f3n es \u201cmayo\u201d. La famosa dice \u201cabril\u201d, la ni\u00f1a, que obviamente entiende \u201cabrir\u201d, dice \u201ccerrar\u201d. La famosa vuelve a repetir sin mucho esmero \u201cabril\u201d con un giro extra\u00f1o de cabeza, una mueca algo confusa, y entonces la ni\u00f1a responde \u201ccerral\u201d.
