The idea for the exhibition came up from the work of the English sculptor Rachel Whiteread (born in 1963, Turner Prize 1993). Her sculptures, that are casts of common objects, imprint the negative space and reverse the roles between “emptiness” and “fullness”.

The “emptiness” and “fullness”, the full and the blank, are fundamental concepts of managing the space whether be it two-dimensional or three-dimensional. It is like talking about the basic syntax structure Subject-Verb-Object the moment that the modern course, prosaic but mainly poetic can do without it. Though, what we usually tend to skip is already conquered and included in our proposal in a latent way. Certainly, nowadays, it is considered outmoded for a work of art to identify the “fullness” with the “theme” and the “emptiness” with the “background”. Nevertheless we can morphologically recognize the succession of the full and the empty, the sound and the pause in artistic formulations (music, theatre, speech, image, space etc).

Specific works of art have been selected in which we consider that the fullness in relation to the emptiness is remarkably handled to such an extent that this “old” relationship is a recognizable element of a specific conjectural suggestion.
