el resto
This exhibition invites reflection on the creative process and the genesis of artistic work, foregrounding remnants from workshops, failed experiments, and collateral effects rather than final objects conceived for consumption as products. It highlights the value of preliminary work, open-ended exploration, and the trial-and-error processes that precede any conclusive resolution. In doing so, El Resto reveals the often-hidden dimensions of artistic production and fosters dialogue about the scope and limits of contemporary artistic practice, presenting process itself as a generator of meaning and content.
The visual proposal for the exhibition was conceived from its central concept: el resto, understood as that which exists outside the finished work — what is left over, left unfinished, fails, or remains in process. The design sought to translate this notion into a deliberately simple yet fragmented graphic language, where each visual element corresponds to one of the participating artists’ works, generating a dialogue between individuality and ensemble.
This fragmentation was also carried over to the typographic dimension: a text conceived with rhythm and irregular breaks, interrupting the linearity of reading and suggesting the pauses, repetitions, and detours inherent to any creative process. The integration of these elements ensures that, upon entering the exhibition, visitors perceive coherence between the visual discourse and the conceptual framework, reinforcing the experience of el resto as a space for attending to the unfinished, the marginal, and the contingent.
