"This exhibition is grounded on a longtime romance: that of visual art's affair with literature. It is an affair with many symptoms, first and foremost those detected in art production itself. Many artists have referred to literary strategies, sources, models and formats, and several literary motifs reappear in their works. Countless themes and sub-themes may be identified and several have oriented the selection criteria an the installation itself of the works in "Romance [a novel]: the use of writing, fiction, history, narrative, translation; the elements of the text, the fragment, the novel, the poem, the short story, the dictionary, the Bible; the plays between writing and literary genres, between history and fiction, between personal and political accounts, between thruth and representation, between philosophy and religion, between the signified and the signifier; the contextual backdrop and the literary setting against wich all is played out; at last, the character, the author, the writer, and the auteur."

"Around the Corner has different meanings: here and there, everywhere, in the surrounding area. I chose the title for its sense of proximity and expectation - that something is present but out of sight; not hidden, but edited out in our hurried daily life. Most of our days are spent in routine activities and repeated acts: going shopping, eating, looking, carrying, listening, playing or talking. So much so that much of the time we are hardly aware of what we are doing. Every morning you walk the same street to buy the newspaper, probably barely registering the boys playing in the road, the man working in his garden, the dog that won't stop barking, the passer by who walks in front of us carrying his shopping."
