Title: Una red de líneas que se interesecan
Description: "In general terms, "A network of lines that intersect" is a project that seeks to explore points in common between a selection of works that belong to the ESPAC Collection and a great many additional works completed by young, local artists that do not form part of the collection. The exhibition was conceived of in three stages: an initial curatorial display that would act as a starting point; an intervention of the show commissioned to the artists Miguel Monroy and Daniela Bojórquez Vértiz; and a publication that, rather than document the exhibition space, is meant as a new reading and articulation of the project. The title was taken from one of the chapters of the novel "If on a Winterœs Night a Traveler" by the Italian writer Italo Calvino, who decided to reveal all of the devices involved in a text, from the time it is written to when it is published and read. It is a book that contains many other books inside. In this sense, the project also seeks to unpack the notion of a finished exhibition in order to expose the underlying mechanisms that sustain it." --Page 15.
