'Titles' (we're screwed)
The Cuban artist will exhibit work using two media - 'Titles' is a series of paintings and there's a video entitled 'Diglossia'.
The idea of 'Titles' is to convert the title of the piece into the piece itself. Just as French philosopher Condillac argued that 'the earliest forms of text were paintings', now Leal contrasts that 'the latest version of the painting is the text'.
The other part of the exhibition is the video 'Diglossia' where Leal has constructed sentences from different words found in posters on the street, putting them into a new context.
