Idea per a un gravat. 25 anys de Tinta Invisible

Tinta Invisible articulates all these contributions and compiles them into series, editions, and boxes. Inventing portfolios and containers, exhibition stands and structures to contain and protect, that invite discovery and wonder. Their inventiveness is absolute, and it’s hard no to think of the illustrious precedent of Joseph Cornell and his poetic boxes, that Marcel Duchamp converted into his essential Boîtes-en-valise that contained a whole range of artistic registers, that not only treasured but also created a narrative, defining the whole of Duchamp’s work.

 Undoubtedly, the collective and enthusiastic spirit of the team at Tinta Invisible is the key to the success of their tutelage –they are curators, without a doubt–along with the complicity of writers and poets. The artists find assistance and encouragement there, solutions and questions. The result is a catalogue of images-books-objects that brings together many of the most interesting and representative expressions of Catalan art from the last few years. They configure a voluptuous and secret library, precise and overflowing, domestic and dynamic, that for now seems inexhaustible.
