10 Años de luces y sombras

Santa & Cole

29/02/96. (Sala 170)

“…life and death have been missing from my life.”

J.L.Borges

In January 1987, La Sala Vinçon presented to its public a new publisher of design products, Santa & Cole, which was taking its first steps. That exhibition, “Santa & Cole: at first sight”, was a great success in terms of attendance and opinion.

Ten years later, Santa & Cole has lost Gabriel Ordeig Cole and some other early pioneering members, but it has also gained dozens of new people and opportunities, it has had notable successes and bitter disappointments, it has given much and received much.

Once again in La Sala Vinçon, Santa & Cole presents its second exhibition after ten years of lights and shadows. Without stridency. Without clanging cymbals. Among friends. Perhaps with the brief conviction of feeling alive. Not like Borges, but like Neruda: confessing that it has lived.
