Prado GP: A dizzy motorcycle race across the Museum of Madrid that links its speed with the one we habitually use when we visit these venerable institutions, crammed with masterpieces to which we dedicate just a few seconds. It is directly linked to Cold Fire I and its futurist accomplishment of setting fire to the rooms. There, they disappear consumed by the fire, here they turn out to be invisible under the fast pace of the vehicles. Only the emptiness of the walls could console us there, only a stumble or an accident could stop the speedy visitors. Text of Mariano Navarro included in the catalogue Eugenio Ampudia…sólo una idea devoradora, SEACEX / ARTIUM, 2008.
