REFERENCES"A work of notorious research in the field of video art and performance. Edu´s artistic style focuses on experimental practices, new pedagogies and hybrid formats, which I could only qualify as exceptional."- Dora García, artist and teacher."Edu Fernández is, in my opinion, one of the most brilliant and innovative emerging artists, capable of detecting the "spirit of time "and influencing the theory of contemporary art as more than a mere resistance to interpretation". - Fernando Castro, Professor at the Autonomous University of Madrid, Advisor of the Reina Sofía Museum and curator."The work of Edu Fernández has been developing for some time at an intersection between critical theory and the mass media. This is a very productive space to open fields of reflection and rethink artistic languages" - Carme Nogueira, Doctor of Fine Arts and artist"I want to point out the excellence of Edu Fernández's work over the last few years to contemporary spanish art, so necessary in renewing approaches and reflections" - Xoán Anleo, professor at the University of Vigo, artist and researcher.
