Greetings from the USA - Greetings from Spain is a publication by Cristina Arribas that deals with the penetration of American modernity as a model of "Spanish modernity." Designed by Filiep Tacq and with an exchange of letters with Juan José Lahuerta, this artist's book presents the impudence and self-confidence with which Spain copies what is American from the prism of postcards. As its author writes:
"The joint vision of an American postcard of the Gateway Arch of Saint Louis (Missouri) together with a Spanish one of the access arch to Torreblanca del Sol, in Fuengirola, opened a path (a highway) for me with no return, and here is a part. It is evident how with the adoption of the American image one does not suppress one's own image, but adds to it in a pastiche-construction that reaffirms its shabbyness, in a constant tension between the cosmopolitan and the national. The Spaniards 'changed' , but they also continued to be the same. Spain was modern, but—this adversative conjunction is indispensable—Spanish."
Cristina Arribas (1973) is an urban planner at the Badalona City Council and an architect affiliated with the Department of Theory and History of the Escola Tècnica Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona.
