Gordon Matta-Clark, scion and rebel, died at 35 in 1978 and has since become a cult figure of late-twentieth-century art. Born in New York and trained in architecture at Cornell, he went on to question the field's conventions in vivid projects that excised holes into existing buildings or assembled deeds to New York City alleys and curbs. His work and words, while sophisticated enough to make him an "artist's artist," and colossal and outgoing enough to draw public attention and affection, were always also grounded in social or political convictions.

Juan Uslé (Santander) has been living in New York since the early 90’s and is one of the most prominent figures of contemporary painting. The hypersensitivity described by Uslé in his work is a sort of memorable visionary state because it is painful.

Until the installation of his 1973 solid-light piece, Line Describing a Cone in Chrissie Iles’s Whitney exhibition Into The Light in 2001, Anthony McCall (England, 1946) remained one of those artists whose work circulated almost entirely in the form of two or three very well-known documentary photographs: his art was immediately recognizable, canonical even, but rarely experienced firsthand.

One of Brazil's leading contemporary artists, Caio Reisewitz (Sao Paulo, 1967) has produced a remarkable body of work during the past 15 years, concentrating almost exclusively on Brazilian topics. His large-scale color photographs explore the changing relationship of the city and the countryside in a period of feverish economic development.

During the last six years, the photographer Joan Fontcuberta (Barcelona, 1955) has visited libraries and archives throughout Europe and North America and gathered together images of censured text from different epochs and authors –Desiderius Erasmus, Fernando de Rojas, Francisco de Quevedo, among others.

Based on this series of images, Joan Fontcuberta presents “Deletrix”, an artistic project (an exhibition and an artist book) on censorship with the direct involvement of PEN Catalán.

Jordi Benito (1951-2008) is known as an artist or his actions, installations and performances of an unmatched radicalism and wildness that he developed, especially in the 1970s and 1980s.

Yet in the catalogue of this exhibition, a more hidden and secret (or at least unknown) side is revealed that he developed alongside his other activities. This is his side as a designer, interior designer and creator of furniture that he made in collaboration with craftsmen from Vallès and in keeping with a family tradition, as his father was a cabinet maker.
