Jumping Walls is based on 4 ideas:

”I.

Jumping Walls points to the possibility of rescuing their role for art as a tool of social transformation and, on the other hand, to a study of the potential impact of the photographic image at the time not only to denounce, but a critical analysis, serio y profundo de una realidad social concreta.

”II.

The bet Jumping Walls is to accelerate the transition of younger artists to the professional art circuit, leading to understand the term "pop" as a limit to overcome and never as a final stage. And while the Foundation FIART understand the emergence and novelty should not be identified solely with age, our temporal dimension (of 18 a 35 years old) responds to the desire to support and encourage a new generation of artists, due to the general context of economic crisis, no encuentran el apoyo necesario para iniciarse en el circuito profesional del arte.

”III.

Today we recognize ourselves immersed in a new era of alternative communication, personified by the new means of participation: sites, blogs, forums and chats that include, have opened up a world of possibilities that invite us to establish social networks and interconnect, to strengthen and spread that much needed social conscience in the global world we belong. The way virtual social networks are transforming the way people relate to each new crossroads involves behavioral and ethical. The project Jumping Walls want to join this dynamic choice stance against values, models and ideas that claim social networks and, finalmente evaluar su capacidad de acción sobre el desarrollo del proyecto.

”IV.

Since the early twentieth century there have been cyclical reviews about the primary functions of the museum, ultimately, have expanded and revised the traditional collection, presentation and increased funding. Anyway, the truth is that museums have become in recent decades a place of meetings and multiple interests, struggling to find a new typology for living participatory community. What new strategies can successfully challenge the gap that still exists between social communities and museums? Jumping Walls seeks to establish an effective relationship between a museum project and the community to which it is addressed through an open and inclusive project, en el que el espectador se concibe como una parte fundamental y sea convocado a comprender parte de su presente a través de las obras expuestas.

In the book together imaginative records and different expressions in each story, everything behind a strange literature that delves into the strange and unusual is the world, profundiza en lo que Luis Mateo llama las enfermedades del alma”.
