To serve the invisible

On June 10, the Fundació Suñol organizes a poetry recital, entitled To serve the invisible, which is part of the project Cartelas poéticas: an intervention in a poetic key to the exhibition Everything solid fades away, held at the Fundació Suñol in October 2020 to July 2021.

The exhibition aims to explore the visual status of abstract languages, in times of proliferation of hyper-technical images, through a collection of works that use abstraction as a working methodology. The pieces that make it up challenge us beyond the logical paradigm and expand the perceptual field to poetic and evocative terrains. For this reason, a selection of poets was commissioned to create specific poems in dialogue with some of the works. The resulting poems were placed on the cardboard corresponding to each piece, occupying the place reserved for aseptic and neutral information. This action used the cardboard in a creative sense to expand the views on the exhibition, to investigate the poetic content inherent in the works and the curatorial proposal and, ultimately, to explore the complex relationship between word and image.
