dialogues is a new exhibition program at espacio 1414 which will include educational exhibits related to the main exhibitions or project rooms in which artists, already represented in the collection, will be invited to present new work in the form of a project room. This may imply the selection of works from the collection by the artists and integrated into their exhibition proposal, establishing a dialogue between the works and shedding a different perspective on the works from the collection.

For this first edition of dialogues at espacio 1414, José (Tony) Cruz presents a series of works, some recent and others specifically produced for this exhibition, that explore ideas related to the concepts of the index and the imprint. In diverse and unexpected ways, the works presented by Cruz materialize the line, the measure and the indexical register and engage in “conversation” with the works by GEGO, Gabriel Orozco and Danica Phelps that Cruz has selected for this project.

(Del lat. dialŏgus, y este del gr. διάλογος).
