Rótulo en la pared de la galería
(Sign painting in the wall of the gallery)
The large text-based work by Carlos Colin is equally concerned with interrogating the space of the gallery, yet here the question posed is turned inwards on the artist himself. What does the artistic encounter with an audience produce? Displayed prominently at the entrance to the gallery, the artist offers a subjective, self-deprecating response, one that questions the value of artistic engagement by orienting the work around the role of the artist as producer of things.
