This opening paragraph was the first thing that came to mind when thinking about this text. I wanted to take the opportunity to thank these people with all my heart. If the list were any longer maybe I wouldn’t have to write any further. And, in fact, it is much longer. All I have included are the people more directly involved in the exhibition. Image.

12 November. I have two works with titles of animals, Mamut (Mammoth) and Mariposa (Butterfly), which I would like to include in the show but I’m not sure there is room. If everything were to be included, there would be material from 2005 to 2018. What I mean to say is two things. Firstly, that I am still not sure what this exhibition will be like. I’ll be better able to say after it’s over. And secondly, since 2005 I have dedicated a large part of my life to doing this kind of thing. And in this dedication there is limited space and time for words. It’s not often that I decide to give them space and time, because I usually prefer to dedicate them to doing this kind of thing. Likewise, here there is no space or time for explanations and I prefer to say that I love my mother.

I could say that I will paint my nails a metallic pomegranate colour and that what I have written here is closely related with this exhibition.

For anything else, I am open to questions.
