Time goes by so silently, that we often don't realize the noise we cause with the realization of some events that have culturally marked our history.
Looking differently, at something that we see every day without seeing, imposes on us a feeling of unease in the face of the world around us.
Some of these works are part of our lives, they accompany us over the years, and they are certainly already confused with the design of the institution itself.
We remove the works from their usual places of exhibition and “our” ones feel the emptiness of their daily company.
It's good to grow old wrapped up in these jobs. The therapy of the imaginary penetrates the mind (un)consciously and lasts without end.
All the artists exhibited will undoubtedly have a prominent place in any art gallery, and therefore the underlying logic of this exhibition only emerges from the fact that it is a collection of the Foundation.
There remains, therefore, a word of great appreciation and thanks to all the artists exhibited, each case would certainly justify a different word, but for the sake of our eyes that want to see beyond what the eye can show, a big thank you.
