Never Real / Always True

Book-Catalogue The poet Antonin Artaud’s statement Never Real / Always True, was the banner of the homonymous exhibition produced by Azkuna Zentroa and curated by the essayist, critic and curator Iván de la Nuez, on display in the Exhibition Hall from March to September 2019. The exhibition connected the works of 13 artists who coincided in the assumption of art as a literary genre and literature as an exhibitory possibility. The works of Kurt Caviezel, Cristina de Middel, Gonzalo Elvira, Oier Etxeberria, Kiko Faxas, Joan Fontcuberta, Verónica Gerber Bicecci, Alicia Kopf, Glenda León, Valérie Mréjen, Guillem Nadal, Mabi Revuelta and Xabier Salaberria created a book of books, a process experience where text turns into texture, a word becomes an image, the book into a display, and literary exhibition into a visual one. Since the exhibition ended, this book-catalogue provides written continuity to that already finished as a display. In other words, it provides a format for a past experience, wanders along the archive of memory and states in a clear way that which was once a curiosity and now survives as a text.
