For decades, José Luis Pérez Ocaña has been completely ignored by historians of Spanish art. Featured more in newspapers in his day than in art galleries and journals, Ocaña is today being revived as a queer artist, though this might be regarded as an act that dislocates him from his own times, imposing on him genealogies and notions that do not reveal but rather mask the contexts in which thinking, art and politics developed in the post-Franco years, as well as the counterculture of this period.

Like the name of this artists’ collective, G.R.A.M. is unideological and denotes a brand rather than the people behind it, which leads to a dissolution of authorship as it is traditionally understood. G.R.A.M. often work with others and outsource the production process, hence their involvement is limited to the concept. Collaborations with other artists from a variety of disciplines also emphasize this idea of extended authorship.

Fernando Prats' Gran Sur project was inspired by Ernest Shackleton's newspaper advert soliciting recruits for his fateful Antarctic expedition: "Men wanted for hazardous journey, low wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honour and recognition in case of success".
Through a compendium of photographs and archival materials, Prats' installation, recorded in this volume, draws out the implications of the blackly humorous advert to resonate with larger experiences of migration and dangerous travel.
