Voices. Aesthetic Values in Mariana Varela's Life and Works

This article is the result of an interview that has become an important tool to approach the artist and a way of analysis to access the reflections formerly rejected and disregarded by her. The interview has become a new way of interacting with the public; this fact has been deemed as one of the basic problems of contemporary art, even more when some artists, since early in the 1990's, have reinterpret, reproduced, and used in their projects what one could define as available cultural products; this has implied the inclusion of formerly excluded, ignored or disregarded forms in the world of art. Maybe the most important factor to take into consideration in this interview is the finding of a teacher who educates by speaking of her own experience in the classroom or in the workshop.
