About the Project
El Gabinete de la Curiosidad
El Gabinete de la Curiosidad (The Cabinet of Curiosities) was an invitation to audiences to ask questions. Upon visiting the exhibition at El Espacio 23, viewers were invited to write down questions that came to mind when looking at the art. This exercise, emphasizing a central concern in the artists’ practice, intended to reveal a moment of doubt, of (dis)orientation by questioning the relationship between images and the places in which they are inscribed, and by extension between the work of art and its context.
