Taking its name from the German thinker Walter Benjamin's description of the aura, this exhibition looks at the contemporary manifestation of distance: the distance between things, ideas and ourselves.

The exhibition Instruction Manual for Nothing pools together two artistic processes that share the same open and experimental methodology. Xavi Rodríguez Martín reflects on abstract comics and the Expanded Books Project, shifting away from traditional narratives to go in search of a narrative non-structure that evokes the endless knot. Blanca Viñas uses the limitations of analogue photography to […]
Within the context of the exhibition Instruction Manual for Nothing, we will carry out a drawing workshop that proposes to use the chalcographic technique as a means to explore and expand the graphic possibilities.
