This exhibition brings together more than 25 international artists presenting "word paintings and talking works". The practice of using letters, words, phrases or even punctuation as an aesthetic vocabulary developed in the 20th century and continues today in the work of many artists, of different generations and through all media (photographs, drawings, posters, sculptures, etc.). The words transform into a visual object with its own codes and sensibility, opening the doors to an imaginary and poetic world.
