Among this audience was, for example, Marta Ponsa, one of the managers of the Jeu de Paume museum who also took part at the conference representing the Catalan contemporary art together with Alicia Koff.

Students and art enthusiasts who participated in the conference heard the proposals of the artists and deepened into Basque, Galician and Catalan contemporary art in. The aim of the conference was to create spaces for thinking, and as Jose Angel Lasa said: "The philosopher thinks, the scientist thinks, and the artist thinks. Everyone has his/her own tools, and contemporary art is born when thinking on current issues”
