SOUND BITES: EXHIBITION CURATOR IGNACIO SHANAHAN (IN SPANISH) TRANSLATIONS: "Even without knowing him, without having seen one of his pieces of work, it is part of our popular culture, we all know that he was a surrealist painter and that he painted clocks, but behind that there is much more. There is a very rich man super concerned with philosophy, obsessed with science, with the advancement of all the branches of science, always in contact with the people who were making the latest discoveries and understanding what they were working on, looking towards the future, seeing what possibilities that would bring in the future, trying to understand towards what it would evolve"
